Too Many Losing Heroines!

Uhhh, that's how stories work, mate. You need to accept the initial premise. Otherwise, you can't enjoy any stories about superheroes, the supernatural, science fiction, fantasy, etc.

No, it's not. What you're talking about, most likely, is suspension of disbelief; you need at least some of that for any sort of fiction--by virtue of and starting with the fact that it's fiction. What I was talking about was the author defying such suspension to the point at which one could reasonably expect it to be undone--under the belief it could never happen because the reader's too simple to question anything.

Also, if you think 100 Girlfriends is bad, maybe you should stay away from school manga? We all have our tastes, but I can't for the life of me figure out what lens and ruler you're using to judge and measure the media you consume.

Don't wager your life so carelessly. The metric by which I evaluate media isn't hard to identify or understand at all--if you aren't blinded by bias, contempt, or simple ignorance.

If we're talking just the initial premise and not where it's taken or how it's executed, I don't remember having any struggles accepting any work of fiction's ask to suspend my disbelief, but that's just me. I guess some people would still have their preferences and limits when it comes to buying in to a story's beginning.

You say it's not hard to identify or understand, but you didn't really tell me. Now I am very interested in finding out considering your claim that they can only be understood by people who aren't "blinded by bias, contempt, or simple ignorance."
