Probably a reddit vote-bombing campaign. 331 "1" votes at this time (10/29/24 - 11:28 MST/PDT). I've read two or three other manga where that happened.
A "1" should be like some of the totally-botched MTL stuff that is often seen on nh*ntai.
I don't think it's reddit. Just being on the "Popular Titles" list will give it tons of attention.
And there's no clear "not my thing" about it like BL or Yuri which would avoid people skipping/not voting on it. I.e. there's no pre-filtering of people who will hate it.
Ah the classic excuse "girlfriend didn't leave her boyfriend because she's not loyal, bf is just not giving her enough or is unsatisfactory so it's not wrong that she left for another person and it's completely bf's own fault, in addition there's no communication because it's already bf's fault anyways"
Man, I don't even know how to rate this like this decent but bad somehow, is this what they call mid? Nah, never mind, probably lower than mid close to trash no wonder this has a 4.2 rating whoever was cooking should not cook on the story I could probably cook something better or outright make it make more sense than whatever, bro was cooking, am not even sure where this is heading
Oof... This is hard to read. The characters are just so unlikeable. There's almost no reason to care about next chapters other than to hate read it like kanokari.
First girl has been super into MC for a hella long time and, when he finally confesses, she's super horny for him from the get-go.
MC has zero girl XP and gives her the turbo-virgin "i wanna treasure you so hard" treatment, to the point of not even making physical contact with her after six months.
First girl starts to doubt whether he's actually into her at all and recruits her female best friend (hereafter referred to as "second girl") to play pretend yuri shipmate while spending a month trying to seduce him and see whether it's just her he's reluctant about. (Rather than, y'know, actually communicating to him what she wants from their relationship or anything.)
Second girl is absolutely giddy about this opportunity because (unbeknownst to either of the other two) she's also been into the MC forever as something of a hero-worship gone completely off the rails and agrees to the ruse, fully intending to steal the guy away. While feeling bad about it i guess idk.
Meanwhile, first girl has figured out that she chose the absolute worst possible person to fake-pursue her guy and starts to think maybe she should just let them go for it for real.
MC is broken by all this and gets rightfully pissed at them both for messing with him and his feelings (which, of course, they are, but not at all in the way he thinks they are).
The routes diverge late in the one-month period and I've no idea which one this will take or whether it'll carve its own path. The commonalities are that MC can see why he could have fallen for the second girl under other circumstances, is still tempted despite these circumstances, still loves the first girl but has obvious enormous trust issues with her that may or may not preclude a second chance.
(I'm personally hoping the manga either goes full-poly or MGTOW, but that's just me.)

The synopsis and overall the story is trash, how can this garbage get a manga adaptation? The author did a great project in their other works, but this one? Nah.
If I were the MC in real life, I would tell that stalker to fuck off and move on from everything even though I know how much of a loser I am and trying to do better instead playing dating game for a month which is stupid
I was hyped for some sub-5.0 hot garbage but this rating is 100% incels like realistically this manga is just mid (just 1st chapter) smh y’all need to touch grass
The light novel only has 29 chapters and the author is currently on hiatus. Still, the plot is horrible and the characters don't seem to act like humans at all.
Wow. She's such a bitch. If I was the guy, no matter how hot or pretty she is, what she did is unforgiveable.
I either avoid both of them entirely or play her game but make sure that she won't enjoy it. I'll honestly just treat her like a toy if she still insists.
Tbh, not really. It's the cuckoldry that ticked people off and the reason for it. Without it, it's probably an 8 or 7 where it's your typical wholesome loser, introverted boy meets a popular pretty girl thing. In the LN, the FMC, is only focused on the guy, making advances on him left and right while he's trying to maintain his sanity and urges to copulate. He's still a young high school boy and the fact that a hot girl with big tiddies is making moves on him has his hormones raging left and right. But the thoughts of her stealing his girlfriend is still looming over his mind that he rejects her advancements every time.
Edit: Screw you Ena you crazy bih.
Just say what you're insecure about him instead of breaking up to "test" him. If some bih pulled that to me, she's permanently exiled from my life. Then here's the MC saying "What Ena did might be considered wrong by society, but she's crying in front of me so I forgive her" fuck that. Then again, it's pretty grounded with real life. There are women out there who tend to do what Shizuno did. Shizuno suggested to do a fake break up with him to test his love for Ena. Shizuno will try to seduce him and if he rejected her, she will consider Ena as the winner. But the thing is, she was already in love with him for a long time when they were still kids.
