I'm not seeing why people are calling the MC a pussy here or that he has a bad personality. I mean, let's see anyone deal with years of bad incidents with girls leading them to be avoided and/or hated and be able to retain any level of confidence and a positive outlook on life. It also doesn't help that his asshole of a "friend" intentionally causes incidents with girls for his own enjoyment, which further exacerbates his cursed image among the girls. That friend should have been immediately beaten and discarded the very first time he intentionally caused an ecchi incident between the MC and a girl. There is NO excuse for treating your friend that way.
