Zettai ni Yuuwaku sarenai Otoko VS Zettai ni Yuuwaku suru Onna - Vol. 2 Ch. 12

Wow. Actually felt disgusted by the MC.
I totally see why he did it. The "pretending I'm chill about it and it's not a big deal." The guy's in high school. This behavior is normal. Doesn't mean I don't find it absolutely stupid. Still hate him.

Not sure how to feel about girl's reaction. After overhearing MC bit, she decides to call it a dare. Doing that undoubtedly hurts the other party. On one hand, I actually no longer care the MC got hurt in this situation. On the other, his perspective is sound.

From a writing perspective, pretty shocked that he wrote that bit in the first place. How it normally goes is its written that the "MC is in the right (his chill play unrevealed)." Then it's revealed from girl's perspective the full story.

Ok I see a lot of people saying mc is spinless but i disagree. He is allowed to not a 100% certainty when it comes to accepting a confession. just because she confessed to him, doesn't mean he has the answer on the spot. He said inside he was ecstatic, that does not imply he was going to reject her, he was just wasn't sure what he wanted to do. it'd be awkward if everyone was pressuring you to just go out with a girl but you weren't fully sure of your own feelings. She is an asshole for lying to him.Yea it sucks that She heard that he didn't feel like they were a good fit, but to turn it around and tell him it was dare to confess to him was a dick move. She would rather put him down and lie to him rather taking a honest response, even if it was a honest reject.

Dude are we reading the same thing? You need to understand why she do that tho, mc basically talk about her behind her back, brag about that, and try too make himself look better to his friends. The problem are not being rejected dude.

Yeah, completely undermining the protagonist's worldview and motive at the end of the SECOND volume is a really interesting move. Going from "poor guy" to "okay fuck you, man" is kind of bold! It doesn't seem to have impacted the trajectory of the story, though.

I would've loved to see a switch in perspectives after that reveal, or something to shake up the structure here after the core conceit was basically obliterated from space.

I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but you guys act like you’ve never seen a spineless protagonist before.

We're sick of it

 

[MiguelH224]

Well the guy is 90% at fault here, but she could’ve said: « I love you but we should focus on our entrance exams, so let’s talk about it after we’re done with them okay? » and voila

Nah this is not on her, this is all on that spineless poor excuse of a man we call MC, the studying thing was just an excuse for him

Exactly, she was not about to allow herself to be played like that, so she took the initiative and called that confession a dare


That's what dumbass MC gets

 

[MiguelH224]

I don’t think I’ve ever just turned around and hated a mc before until this chapter fully on him people can use the excuse of he’s young he could’ve stayed quite about the relationship it’s all on him.

That excuse never flies with me, he deserves his downfall
