The interesting thing is, most of the time when you see really horrid stuff happen, especially to female characters. The author/creator is often a woman. Women tend to have less mercy and sympathy for female characters.

My opinion of the manga as well. The artist and the editor and the publisher had the choice to wrap it up at the school trip arc and keep the writer's continuation contained in the LN, they choose not to.
I thought we were going to get a horimiya like story, instead we got rent a trash instead, the author really done fucked up.
There's nothing you can do to resolve this plot line bro. This isn't an isekai fantasy world where we can say "You know what, shit happens it's not real life"
Thank you, it's been weird seeing people turn a blind eye to Fumi's accessory role in this retarded situation continuing. The sad part is that it's actually fairly realistic. More than once, I've personally witnessed girls just offering "moral support" for a long time to someone they know is being abused in one way or another, never once taking any steps to help them actually get out of the situation. It's mindboggling, but it just seems to be how some people are wired. It's understandable in some cases, as some people just "don't want to be helped." It could just be my unlearned opinion, but that often just seems like battered person syndrome. Either way, in those cases, it's often not worth the risk unless you're heavily invested in the person, as I've seen them turn on the very person trying to help.

The tonal whiplash just from one chapter to another should have been enough for the author to realize something was off. At this point the whole story is tainted. Having one of the three main characters being g.-r. in a public bathroom isn't something you come back from. You would think that would be obvious. But it seems that the author legitimately thinks this is just desserts.
Can't speak for others, but I know any story that I've "hate read" for more than the 2~3 chapters of my usual inertia, it's because they have some element (character, premise, relationship dynamic, etc.) that greatly piqued my interest. In this case, it was Souma picking himself up by his bootstraps and genuinely trying to have a fresh start. Rather than the cynical mopelords you usually get (which CAN be fun, but have been overdone of late) for this type of story, Souma being a clueless and socially stunted, but overall friendly, well-meaning dude was a breath of fresh air.
