Am I the minority in thinking that he was always going to end up with a guy? He's in a BL world and he's OUR main character, I always assumed that we'd learn his name the moment his romantic story unfolds. But what matters is how it happens.
I don't know if this is the guy he's gonna end up with but even when he triggers a flag it's always been easy for Mob to get out of it, because those characters didn't really care about him. They were just part of a storyline.
Mob-kun is a master of dodging flags but he can't dodge true love this way, if someone legitimately cares about him they'll keep falling for him no matter what he does.
Again, don't know if this is the guy but so far I like their development.
Too bad he forgot that genre aware guy falling for another guy, despite knowing all the tropes, is also a trope.
So is loosing your memory
or pretending to loose your memory
It's tropes all the way down. He was probably never gonna win this...
But man do I hope for this to be a fake out and he succeeds anyway
That's fair, but personally I think thats also because expectations? Usually when you open a BL about someone claiming to not be gay/bi or whatever, it's not even a twist when they do end up falling first episode. That's just kinda how you know it goes, stories like this where we really can't be sure if the mc is actually going to end up gay are pretty rare.
Personally I'm open to either possibility, as long as it doesn't feel like he suddenly lost his own free will or something im gonna be happy either way.

My issue is less that and more characters who claim to be genre savvy completely failing to identify even the most basic tropes. Sometimes they'll get stuff completely wrong, like they'll claim that the trope is something that never happens and they can subvert it by doing the most cliche thing possible.
That feels like a waste to me. Like an MC going, "wait a minute... This is BL 😱" is potentially really, really funny.
