I'm not getting the delinquent part. Does it mean something different in Japan?
The meaning of "delinquent" varies. In some cases, it's close to what you'd call a "problem child" or "troublemaker" in the US - just somebody that doesn't follow all the rules and doesn't flow with the crowd. Conformity is a big deal in Japanese culture so if you refuse to conform, you're often considered a delinquent.

Sometimes gyarus are called delinquents for the reasons above, but they're really their own kind of thing.

In other cases, it's more like "punk" is used in the US - referring to a specific subculture with its own set of norms. Japan had something like that called "Yankī" going back to the 70s. It mostly died out in the 90s and 2000s. There are a lot of manga about this subculture. It's not really my thing, but I enjoyed Angel Densetsu and Cromartie High School.

what is ts. no girl irl acts like that. i feel like the reason as to why weebs are so bad around women is because they think women act like this
Your confusing Japanese LN/Manga with high art... There is never anything realistic in these art forms. It is simple wish fulfilment for beta simps. I appreciate your frustration, but you are swimming against the current and exhausting yourself by expecting more than is possible from a magpie nation that is devoid of creativity and that excels at refining things to make them better. Personally I think he is a smarmy cretin, but I like the tsundere and her sister is fun. Out of both of them, I find him to be the most unrealistic, stepping into fights with nothing but words and a smug face. However, I'll stick with it for a bit, since I do like SoL simple romance without the pathetic harem. So while I can fault it, it is still better than others.

I will be honest, it's lovely and cute nice read but not really captivating I can barely stand reading more than 2 chapters at a time

Uh não sei
Não é horrível de forma alguma, mas é tão saboroso quanto escolher comer sopa de hospital de janta... genérico, sem tempero é fácil de mastigar

Eu até gosto de uns Alice of life simples e só fofinho, mas esse tem uma cara meio ia, falas forçadas, tudo super ridiculamente comum, o garoto super sem graça, a vida dele é tão vazia que ele só estuda e respira, e sua maior memória e arrependimento é de um "amigo de parque" que ele não ajudou quando tinha uns 5 anos de idade, eu até me sinto triste pela garota de ter gostado de alguém como ele, é quase um completo papel em branco

I mean it's alright, not bad not good. I understand that the main character of this story is the FL, but still I feel ML's feeling are shown very less and overall his role seems extremely less. idk this could be false as well but that's why what I felt after reading 10 chapters. I liked the art though
