i actually quite love how it's the introvert who's the actual goddamn force in this relationship, vs the typical dynamic of an extrovert harassing an introvert by overstepping boundaries. in this case, introvert is doing that except the boundaries are so inherently miscellanious and strange that it's just funny rather than disrespectful.
honestly i love how everyone allied with MC are really fucking weird, all except for his ex-bully, who is unironically the sanest person on their ship rn. like if u rlly think about it, the "rival" character + all of MC's opponents are like so normal in comparison, even if they're meant to mimic the overzealous, bizarrely insensitive "shounen protag" archetype.
all of the characters fall within this category, but not in like, the typical "shithead" archetype I usually follow. it's just that it's a bunch of high school boys whose eyes glow white like a chunk of sun and steam comes out of their mouth bc this is a sports manga, so ofc they all have personality defects to make them interesting. but they're also like, 13-18, so at most they're just low-tiered bullies (not-derogatory)
rereading this, i keep getting pissed off by that one moment touma was like "i don't even GET to challenge my brother bc of my heart surgery aliment thingy, so don't act like you get me" towards MC. bc like,,, bro,,, you literally congratulated MC, this dude you barely knew for a week, after he told you his twin brother passed away while praising his basketball skills with clear joy and happiness towards his passion LMAOOO. like touma is so stupid bc even if you thought it was a good thing, why would you ever tell a STRANGER that they're lucky that their brother died LMAO ?? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THEM. and my man DOUBLED DOWN when MC was like trying to undersatnd where touma was coming from with that UNCALLED FOR AND VERY HORRIBLE COMMENT LOL, with "you don't know me" like bruh u didn't know MC or his dead brother either when u said that shit

MC runs entirely on spite and teenage angst and im glad he's like, a good person bc if he was a narcissist he'd unironically have the makings of an american school shooter. i also love how he's a fucking reality check for how bizarre and insensitive shonen protags are (he'd actually be Luffy's op omg), but MC himself is not any better. MC looks cold and like he can't eat a specific kind of food that makes family dinner complicated. like. idk cinnamon or smth.
i kinda hope the stepmom stays as a vital character to the plot, now that her entire background is exposed to the main cast, bc i wanna see how MC and the others use her. i'm kind of curious how she'll live the rest of her life, now that everything's in the open, and where that leaves her, as well as her son who technically had no part in any of her plans, but is definitely an antagonist.
i like this so far, but it's kinda weird reading a story based on a team-sport wthout even seeing MC hold a legitimate conversation with a single one of his teammates. the only teammate i remember the name of is the dude he just subs in for LOL.

idk. i just know that if i were him and i was nominated to go back in time and resolve everyone's daddy issues for the sake of uniting mankind (when irl we can barely even agree why certain races deserve literal human rights or not), i would probably just kill myself instead. so like. idk good 4 him bc i personally would not LOL.

MC leaves me feeling very quite tense. he is the type of dude who if i had him as one of my 4th grade students, he would probably have been sent to the principal's office for killing frogs during recess, and for asking the other teachers if they miscarried because god doesn't love them.

she's like actually a good person (aka like, a sane person with pretty reasonable morals). she also definitely has eldest daughter syndrome, so she's a pushover to emotions yet is an absolute hardass about them at the same time. i can't wait for her little sidekick demonic friend to become a marketable plushie.

nah this goes fucking CRAZY. magical girl transformation except she looks like the customizable avatar of a kaiju no.8 natural disaster. also MC is just so funny. she's legit just a normal girl who's forced into eldest-daughter syndrome, a tragic fate of many girls in regard to their families and younger brothers.
guys i stopped reading this maybe 1/3rd in and i quite liked it back then, i just stopped bc it started feeling like a harem. reading the comments now it feels like it went downhill, and im crying while asking, did it turn out badly? did it go to shit? is this worth readinf
i'm actually invested with this type of MC. like i feel like it's just diff subtext with this type of "weak yet emotionally strong-hearted MC who sacrifices themselves for their family" between guys and girls, maybe due to just societal gender norms/expectations from women versus men. like normally with dudes i don't get as invested in this type of MC. maybe it's also simply bc this is one of the first female MCs i've seen in this shounen, no-romance genre with this type of personality.
