Chapter 1 not starting out good, I don't have a good feeling about this manga's potential
(Keep in mind, these are just my opinions)
As for the reasons:
- Nobody thanks a stranger and ties his necktie like that, it's weird even for anime/manga standards
- Can't relate, the discrimination of liking a trap character feels forced and unnatural
- Bad starting line, bad character introductions, and a bad use of the "Oh you're my roommate?!" niche at the end
Suggestions on making a good early chapter (fixes for )?
- Instead of awkwardly tying a stranger's necktie, they can literally just go "Oh you're wearing the same outfit as the girls at my school, would you like to go school together with me?" and then you can build a better character dynamic from there
- Instead of the forced feel of "I like traps and suddenly people mock/discriminate against me for doing what I like", it's better to do a more realistic/natural approach on it like maybe a childhood friend niche, or a "I'm into femboys" niche or maybe another underused niche to make the story flow just a tad bit better.
- Yeah, the sudden unexplained roommate niche right at the start of the series is not compatible for a trap character, that can be fixed by a "choosing your roommate during class and you two got left out therefore you two are now roommates" scenario to make the story feel more like an actual story
