Maybe it's finally time for me to read this never-ending slopfest. I'll never understand Japanese mangakas obsession with emotionally incompetent, insipid male romcom protagonists. We get slight improvements here and there like the MC from Midnight Heart Tune (almost over-competent, but still a tiny bit immature so as not to seem like a blatant Mary Sue) but the common trend has always been guys like in Rent-a-Girlfriend.

It's a "Just Look At The Girls" series. You want half-African Super Player Chads treating the world like they're the King of Mud Hut Village? RAG over Re:Monster any day. Agreed though on it being Trash where character progression is illegal.

The argument I heard is that inept male leads exist so they won't soil your waifu in the story. In which case, why not just omit the male lead entirely and publish a CGDCT? 35 volumes ongoing mean there's obviously a market for it on both JP and EN but I don't really get it either. Thanks for the share though!

MU lists this as ongoing with 44 volumes. That in itself is kind of fascinating. Something like this is still popular enough to not be axed.
