Ore ni Trauma wo Ataeta Joshi-tachi ga Chirachira Mitekuru kedo, Zannen desuga Teokure desu

[dogmeister238]

I hope it doesn't cus the story quality falls off a cliff imo with

Spoiler

the aunt backstory and what she did to him

how could it possibly have fallen off a cliff? it already started at the bottom lmao. especially with the cliche teenager angst of how every girl in his life wronged him and owes him lol, it's basically just those self-pity fantasies* kids invent to justify their insecurity and make their loneliness everyone else's problem, but it's somehow in official, published form lmao.

*e.g. some kid gets rejected by a girl, so he imagines a fantasy about the girl feeling guilty and never falling in love again. except they're aware that getting this flustered over a rejection makes them come off as petty and immature, so they sloppily invent and exaggerate the "crime" the girl "commits" to retain the moral high ground and sympathy.

except the details of the "crime" are so sloppy and childish that it's obvious it's just fabricated to superficially generate sympathy. in regard to literary value, it has none, not because it's fabricated (obviously all fiction is), but because it's a cheap device (as subtle as a brick) with no further idea or theme being explored. the experience being shared is so childish and silly that presenting it as a serious moment makes you crack up.

This is so stupid that I love it, something to read at least

 

[Anothermirai]

Is it just me, or the author doesn't have any experience about being traumatized? He's basically a rebellious child rather than traumatized

 

[NotActuallyThere]

Probably the whingiest, most annyoing protag I've read in a while. His "trauma" isn't fully explained, and even when they make honest, explicit attempts at reconciliation, he's all "woe is me."

Probably the most difficult obstacle the author has ever had to overcome is being told "no" as a child.

The cover art has been getting a lot better. The first volume cover looks so off, but volume 5 and 6

 

[xXiopoidXx]

Pretty boring until the 6 shoe incident chapters then back to boring

 

[Voodoo11]

Can someone tell me the ending of the wn or LN. Is it good or bad.

 

[Bayne_4]

this should just be called "My level ∞ harem ability but I have 0 libido"

 

[MonogatariCult]

Pretty impressive how it's self concious about how bad it is but it still cringes me off

 

[duwud]

Unironically living a more difficult life now that he has allowed himself to interact with the women around him.

This shit is so damn weird. I genuinely have no words other than "weird" to describe this

Contrary to the popular opinion, this manga is not "misery porn", it's "grudge porn"

Edit: this manga is also extremely fucking stupid

This is such trash. I wanted to like it. I kept rooting for it.

The author has no understanding of trauma and it's lifelong effects. The MC is whingy and bitchy about things almost every kid experiences- adults not listening, first loves ending poorly, your sibling yelling at you that they hate you.... etc.

Then all of a sudden these people feel so remorseful they just try to do nothing but hit on him. It's fucking stupid.

Kinda downplaying those 'experiences' in this case though. The adults don't just not listen, they vehemently insist they're right until the rest of the class turns on and bullies MC, and don't even consider that they could be wrong until he's persistent enough to prove it. The first love didn't just end poorly - she flat out lied to make him jealous/notice her when he was seconds from confessing, and didn't come clean for years, while he thought she'd been dating her senior all along. His sister didn't just say she hated him - she was jealous that he got attention she didn't and threw him off the top of a jungle gym, leaving him to bleed out with a head injury, before he was mysteriously found in the next town over like a week later.

And to what someone else commented near the top of this page: He doesn't think anyone owes him. He thinks he's a burden on everyone and overcompensates by trying to be a loner when deep down he wants genuine connections.

Comments like yours tend to be the more common sentiment though. Is it just that a lot of manga readers can't detect nuance? Or do they skim so much that they miss important context?
