Yeah, that means Author successfully make him humanly as possible. Not everything had a deep meaning and reason, sometimes human just that deeply shallow like that.
the character can be human and "shallow". that doesn't mean the story has to be dull and boring which it was, sadly.
Well, that's your opinion and I respect that. But in my very honest opinion, I like this story and it's very interesting to see a character that just like that and doesn't need any deep explanation and reason why he is like that
Wholeheartedly second and agree with that. As a psych student, even I have to admit that we sometimes overanalyze and complicate things that are too simple and wind up doing the opposite— complicated shi up. Refreshing to see this kinda story frfr
clocked that "twist" pretty much as soon as nimiya showed up so like chapters 2-4 was just waiting for anything else more interesting outside of that but nothing much really happened. seme just annoyed the hell out of me. maybe it would have helped to know more about why he's obsessed with hotaru but what we were shown was shallow and unconvincing so he just came off as incredibly self-centered.
liked that part where the author made it seem like nimiya and oono was a thing but other than that everything was pretty much expected as so it was kinda boring to me.
