Feels like we are approaching a conclusion soon, or at least some major turning point.

I am super impressed by the writing here. How many times have I read a harem romcom and complained about the bland MC? Here we see Hareta recognizing that he is bland and uninteresting; not really a match with these dynamic and interesting heroines. Hareta has only become interesting after he rebels against the world and pursues Misaki. It’s a really well done subversion of the standard trappings of the genre.
