Recently took the time and actually read the books of this. Obviously the target demographic is horny teenage boys of which only the first part still applies to me but oh well, it’s still a good read anyway, if only because some aspects of the story are just way too funny to my adult brain.
For a harem series the MC is expectedly dense, although the author does have an explanation ready for that and gives the MC some character development this “early” on into the story, reducing the annoyance of it somewhat. Still even after supposedly overcoming his issues the MC displays a typical lack of self-awareness and a profound ability to not actually do anything lewd while constantly doing lewd things. I find other approaches to avoiding graphic descriptions in the novel preferable to somehow making the audience believe a hormone driven teenager wouldn’t try anything if surrounded by willing girls, but that’s the genre I guess.
Enjoyable enough to be very good if you like Ecchi Harem stuff, definitely wouldn’t recommend if you don’t
