"I said I would be the one protecting her!"
But did she agree to that?
I like how everyone tries to cut him off. Not that it stops him, but still.
And
that's who protects her.
DYNAMIC ENTRY!
For someone who claims to want to protect her, he seems pretty weak, getting beat up by those girls all the time.
Economic reasoning. You know, it feels kind of rare to have an isekai protagonist who actually gets the costs of things, and doesn't just wing it because they get super rich within a few chapters. Unless it's somehow important for the plot.
It's almost funny that all the characters surrounding the hated one also all hate him. Or, at least, hate to have to deal with him. Even if they're ultimately still friends.
Honestly, that makes it a bit better. Much too often these hatable characters are liked by someone so they get to keep being around without repercussions or anyone doing anything against them. This guy at least gets lectured and beaten up on a regular basis.
