I don't think he's some doormat cause he started to act up with plans. He acts like one. Unfortunately, MC can't fight them physically for he is at a disadvantage, which doesn't make him a doormat. MC was just, based on his narration, fooled and naive at first but now he's starting to fight for his and the other's life.
I'm not super invested in the story, but I just find there's so little chemistry between the MC and ML? MC is just some a doormat who let things happen to him and a passive character in the story, letting others dictate his actions. I don't like the characterization of the ML either he's just don't have a likeable personality or maybe this apocalyptic story setting isn't doing it for me.
