I wish author explained at least a little bit why girls are going after MC. It's way too unrealistic right now, he's a completely plain nobody, there's no reason for him to be popular
Friend, lemme tell you about harem bullshit romcoms.

Here is the plot: Plain bullshit nobody average student is a NICE GUY and was NICE to these girls in various ways, like being their friend before they moved away for several years and had a glow up, getting her cat down from a tree, or saying they'll call the cops on dudes harassing her, thus saving her from having her butt rubbed by bad dudes. The kind of stuff any average asshole could do.

This causes these woman to desperately want this clueless dude to do lewd things with them. Progress will be glacial. He might hold a hand, accidentally kiss, or whatever, but will deffo never pick one until the series gets axed or the author ends it themselves after chapters with beach trips, onsen trips, a fireworks festival featuring them in yukatas, and possibly a school festival with a maid cafe.

If you are expecting a deep and compelling plot you are in the wrong place. You want him to be interesting? Fat chance. He is a vessel for lonely nerds to pour themselves into just like the generic OP (or not OP until the second chapter cuz his power 'awakened' and became OP) isekai dude is.

This isn't to say that all isekai or all romcom is this generic but once you start seeing signs you can practically guess upcoming plotlines.

Not in the mood on getting into another one of those. My journey with this one ends here.

Everyone else enjoy the mess this romcom is about to bring

It's for self-insert purposes. By making the MC a bland, uninteresting, boring nobody whose only redeeming quality is that he may have been vaguely "nice" to various girls at some point in the past even if he's kind of awkward and maybe a little bit dickish/standoffish now it lets the audience of boys who aren't popular with girls but who also don't try to be an interesting/approachable person see themselves in the character.

It's why all office drama/comedy series are about the same taken-advantage-of, hard working, ambitionless cubicle jockey MCs: They know what kind of audience reads manga and so the characters are made as blandly relatable as possible and the girls then can throw themselves at him for no good reason for sloppy wish fulfillment.

There's probably like 500+ students in an average japanese school and it only shows 3 girls liking him and only 2 if you don't count the childhood friend. I don't think it's that dramatic or unrealistic.

From my personal experience I also knew 3 different girls that had a crush on me in the same year despite me not really having any memory of doing anything special or interacting with them that much.
