New years illustration by the mangaka.
This One-shot sums up the reason why I'm starting to dislike the series, when it started it had the vibe of the guy who was working hard to change the fate of the character he had been transferred to
Vol 1 and 2, MC not giving a shit about the school and leveling up with his family and little sister while making friends with characters that doesn't have a major role in the story, it felt like he was going through his own story
Then after vol 4 he becomes some sort of almighty janitor who wants to help the main characters and keep the plot intact for no reason, gets no recognition for his deeds, is bullied by his classmates and has to keep being fat in order to hide his true strength

from Tsukishima and Kaoru (because everyone else already knows he's strong)

Doesn't he keep reverting to being fat because of his gluttony skill?
He knows how to control it, all he needs to do is to use his skill overdrive to revert to being thin again
And due to his high MND stat together with his high level and the skill flexible aura he can keep his form without any issue as he did for several days after the last arc
Then, when he had to go back to school, he ate a lot to go back to being fat again and looked down upon
But currently the only logical explanation for him to keep being fat is to prevent Kaoru from finding out he's strong because currently everyone else is already aware of it

yeah, the fight with he demon to me was the only highlight of the story. As you mentioned, after that he just returns to being the bullied and hiding. And to be honest, i'm not really a fan of the original body dude for obvious reasons.
It's really a problem with the author, he introduces several characters but doesn't develop them
The original butao is also another problem, he's introduced as a hate sink, like that classic fat bastard that is introduced in all isekai harem anime, every player has that impression
But then the author makes changes during the course of the story to the point that the player's opinion of him doesn't make sense
Author claims that when he dueled the Game MC, he managed to put up a decent fight (level cap was 30 and dude was between LVL 10-20) which already sets him apart from the other adventurers
All Kaoru romantic events, end up with the player acting as a foil for Souta, dude tries to help Kaoru but fails then the player steps in and save the day
There's even an event where he manages to beat the fatso from Class D, but his classmates end up hating him anyway
He only had a oneshot before, and that's it

Enough is enough. You can’t preserve the story anymore, it’s already completely different.
What if, instead of being a stupid, boring fatso, he actually did something proactive, like taking positions of power where he could genuinely influence the world, instead of just leveling up with his player group and accomplishing nothing?
The disaster is part of the story, and I’m pretty sure the events surrounding that disaster are what lead the characters to change their personalities, learn, and grow. Why isn’t that worth saving?
If he truly sees the NPCs as real humans, why does he want to preserve some preprogrammed path that was created for them back when they were just NPCs? That’s a contradiction. And if those NPCs are, by design, incapable of becoming as strong as the players, then the players are objectively more qualified to stop the disaster than they are.
The only motivation that would actually make sense is trying to stay under the radar so that other players, those outside the school whom they don’t know yet, don’t notice them first. It’s the rules of the jungle: you don’t want to be discovered by an unknown danger before you’ve identified it yourself. But that clearly isn’t his motivation.
I don’t get these authors. Why would you intentionally make the plot boring? Maybe our Japanese colleagues overseas share the same opinion, and hopefully it gets through to the author that making the plot boring is not the way to keep your readers engaged.
I have read some of the comments on eBookJapan and they seem to be saying the same stuff, they dont understand the motivation of the Protagonist of this manga, and the motivation of the author.
„Finished reading up to the latest volume. For the first time, Volume 7 actually delivers a proper sense of catharsis, but until then, it’s all dark and depressing. One of the characters even points this out in this volume: the main reason it doesn’t feel satisfying is that the protagonist is too mature to be thrilling. There are plenty of works that serve as an anti-“I’m-overpowered” (ore-tsue) story, but if that’s the goal, shouldn’t they at least provide some moments of entertaining, exhilarating buildup? It often feels unclear what the author actually wants the reader to enjoy.
I was lucky to be able to read Volumes 1–9 all at once this time, but if I’d picked it up when only about three volumes were out, I probably would have put it back on the shelf.“
“There are so many things about the characters’ actions that I just can’t accept, it feels like the author just wants the story to go the way they want. From fairly early on, the protagonist hates it when the story changes. Using that as a pretext, he doesn’t act, hides things, or refuses invitations, and that’s how the story moves forward, but no matter how you look at it, his choices are clearly making things worse. Yet somehow it’s portrayed as if he did something good and reluctantly ended up being useful, and I just can’t accept that.
He keeps saying “the story is important,” but the heroine’s growth has already completely deviated from the story. Even the original protagonist is now just a background character, he hasn’t gotten any stronger and is totally sidelined.
At this point, the protagonist feels like he’s stubbornly “protecting the story,” even though the story has already gone off the rails. To me, he just looks like a painfully nerdy otaku.
I tried Volumes 1–3 for free, thought it might be interesting, and ended up buying all the way to the latest volume, but I’m stopping here. I think from now on it’s just going to drag on with incomprehensible motivations.“
