I hate rom-coms which the male protagonist are always willing to scarifice his career, dreams or even his life to win the lead female's affection and what makes it worse when the female protagonist into dense character who is oblivious to everything around her and doesn't even remembers the poor guy's first name until much later into the story.

He does genuinely want to beat her, but he also wants to capture her heart. Kujou is... bland, blank, boring. BUT the manga does a great job of showing her slowly coming out of her shell, making new friends, experiencing the world outside of just studying and going home, and of course, dealing with falling in love for the first time.

Alright, so it's not that it's bad, it's just immensely forseeable and having such a predictable storyline is what somehow made it popular so I don't know what to say about that. It's likely that it was meant to be this way but I'd say they really tried to make it seem different but I've read and seen a lot of the same genre to know how this was going to go. The thing about this story was that I expected a lot from it on first read. It had the potential to twist the "helpless" maiden and dumb ignorant girl storyline in a more mature and more relatable way where the female protagonists has had a clue of what was going on instead of her not knowing COMPLETELY what was going on. I haven't really finished it but I have a feeling there's going to be another unnecessary love triangle near the end (besides the one that's already been established and destroyed) to prolong the plot and slow build of their relationship. It's not bad, like I said it's just THAT mediocre. If you're into that then go ahead, this story is definitely for you and if you're not then I think you should look for something else.Mateo, Alex (October 12, 2022).

There are two love triangles that kind of morph into a love square, but I didn't find them obnoxious, and I think both of them helped further the plot along and didn't just serve to keep the two leads from each other.

Kujou also has an issue with change; she wants things to stay as they are forever, which leads to a slow-burn plot that's actually well done. One of the major critiques I've seen of this manga is that it's slow, but I think that's better than the "oh I like this person and we're together now" plot. A slow-burn MAKES SENSE here. Especially considering that Mikoto is going through emotions, she's never had the chance to experience before. It's very in character for her to take it slow and fully absorb what she's feeling. Enjoyment: 6 - I read whole manga and was left completely unsatisfied. I had to go to another manga right after because this one gave me a feeling of incompleteness.
