Wouldn't have fared better. Have you forgotten why he was a hikineet before getting isekai'd? Guy is also ridiculously weak to assertive girls. Only reason why he could do what he did was because he was unable to see Aqua as a romantic partner.
Alright I'm curious, what was with the chapter 2.5 by unknown that was deleted? Was it a troll chapter or something? If it was, was it at least done in an entertaining way?
@Wickedhero
If he had to use magical powers to get a normal girl to stop teasing him, I'd argue that would make him even more of a wimp than senpai. Senpai at least nowadays is able to stand his ground against Nagatoro with words alone.
It took a bit but I'm just happy the story is allowing itself to be more than the gimmick it started from, real character development keeps these stories alive.
