"oh no, i almost got what i wanted. Luckily my quick thinking allowed me to hit myself in the face to prevent that"
Look you can call the protagonist stupid all you want, but these girls are several times as dumb and its starting to annoy me.
Is the author really that scared of changing the status quo? Are they unable to write the same wacky scenarios in a world where the characters can honestly consider romance? Im always baffled by the refusal of so many manga to have characters who get together and only reserve that for the very end, but this isnt even about getting together, they havent even communicated to him that they like him! And several of them havent even tried!
Maybe i should just write this manga of as not for me but im stuck in the sunk cost fallacy atp so ill stick with it.
Thanks for the chapter.
