I feel like too many people are calling him cringe while not realizing he was a cringy adult playing eroges…
Also, there seems to be misunderstandings about his objectives. He accomplished what he set out to do, while not deviating the story too far away from what it was.
Granted he probably could have done it a better way, but he established her distaste of nobles, while also showing her not everything is as what it seems. Getting her to look underneath the underneath, as one manga stupidly put it.
I see it as an absolute win. And the Enrique misunderstanding continues to be hilarious.
