@Giga obviously this is a broad generalization but I feel male authors that write self inserts in romcoms and the like that are such huge pansies or so dense that even when the girl is throwing herself at the MC the dude still dont get it might be cus the authors themselves were/are that bad when it comes to interacting with girls so even tho they are writing fiction they cant exactly write an MC with qualities they dont possess...one of my biggest gripes with such works cus I've never been able to self insert into such an MC and although I've known a few awkward guys none were pathetic like that so idk who the authors are trying to attract

Hoshi is a breath of fresh air on the other hand he knowns what he wants and isn't afraid to burn himself trying to get it
And the FMC is great too.

@Ghekor: What I suspect is what I was implying: that these MCs are written for an audience that can identify with and approves of spineless MCs. They seem to sell. The more I read stories with such MCs however, the less I can understand the motivations for making characters like them, aside from such behavior being culturally well regarded by the Japanese. That said, itt's one thing to pull this with shonen manga--that's for younger teens--but seinen manga? The intended audience is 18-45--who at age 18 is so desperately afraid of girls that a pair of big breasts sends them into a massive panic? Who at age 45 would even be able to imagine thinking that way?

Yet it seems that, since these MCs sell, people over there really can connect with such weaklings.

The background characters standing around with open mouths and blushing are the real stars of this manga LOL
