I get it...
ohh, I'm glad im not the only one then 〒▽〒♡
No no no, like i get want you mean too ╥﹏╥ like.... How do i put this.. eummm he's not that entertaining(?) for main characters, if you compare it with MC. Like his characterization is not very balanced with the MC(?) so, we as readers feel like there is no such thing like "emotional closeness" to him, even though he is the main character...
Like I've read many stories before and he's just like a character that I don't really feel "connected to" for some reason... Like he's good and all, but how the author write and deliver his character in this story is not deep enough(?)to us to feel some kind of "connection" with him. Just like you said "He really seems like a robot who was programmed" ╥﹏╥
Mostly when we read a story we can feel all the characters' emotions or maybe feel relatable but this one.... Hmmmm.... （/TДT)/
Hahaha yes yes I understand mate that connection you mentioning. It's more like he is all good sure, but he doesn't reach the SAME ENERGY the Uke gives in the story, which felt his character was far off from us.
If this was Otome game, He more like a NPC programmed or something that was thrown to the MC to solve & help his problems idk.. but yeah, he is such a green flag but lacks that energy, connection & link to reach us.
Bruh is it just me?? The Seme seems very... idk how to put it? really robotic? like I don't find him attractive at all, maybe also bc the art/drawing which seems his expression is kinda weird, he only give a always SMILING FACE and also a shock expression.. He really seems like a robot who was programmed lmao.. At least the Uke gives more expression than him tho.
