it's actually really platonic and im in love with mc's relationship with his neighbours and sister. lu shu is like the troll sidekick character whose personal embarrassment is a running gag of every cold-hearted shounen protagonist, except he gained the main character halo through his self-confidence and awareness of being an absolute shithead.

oh my GOD hhhhh

ngl, i just can't get into this. but i read enough to know that i can tell that i'm genuinely so attached to mc's dynamic with the other two boys (that delinquent with a sister and glasses boy) and if they fall apart, i will too :)

macho mc's harem's membership right. also mc is actually like,,, EXTREMELY likeable. he's just REALLY REALLY likeable as a person, and you can see that through everyone else that he interacts with.

basic basketball manhwa, except i'm really into the fact that MC is not a high schooler (if anything, that was when he was in his prime), and the rag-tag bb team aren't all high schoolers either. there was another team that even had a dude over 40- it's very fun to watch sports being played out from someone who's well past the prime age for athletics. also, the vibes are SO good/supportive between different players, and the manhwa touches upon racist commentary too.

no romance except for one person whose love is one-sided for slapstick (and it's not like. annoying, it's pretty fucking funny). but mc makes and reconnects old friendships, going on adventures as well, and it's actually pretty sweet. even him having fun with enemies who DONT want to have fun with him LMAO
