Well, thats the point. Isnt it? Every regression has personality. Mc isnt pushover, though yes, he lets people walk over him sometimes but He is just emotionally mature kind and forgiving with zero toxic masculinity or arrogance. He isnt genius or strong. Also, he wasnt trying to be adored by others, he just try to fit in without taking attention. And honestly, people admiring and mesmerized by his kindness is far more realistic than other stories characters loving mcs for no reason. Most people wont care about you, if you arent useful or did something for them. Thats what makes mc beautiful for others. Kind male character like him is very rare in stories.
yes i agree, i was just trying to make conclusion what kind of story this is in my eyes.
It depends on people's taste if they like this kind of story or not. aside that it's actually well written.
i just cant help but to make a comparison if it's a shounen story because isekai is kind of universal but it's interesting how they can take different direction according to the demographic (i mean in narrow sense)
btw i wasn't saying the mc did it deliberately to be adored, i know he is always genuine. i was just saying someone like that bound to be adored. his character is also made to be adored by readers, but not meant to be made relatable -- at least to me.
Yeah, there are many different types of mc. Personally, i love it specifically because ow rare to see geniuely empathic male main character. About being relatable, i mean yeah he didnt have 'tragic life' so in that way, he can be less relatable. Though, i think people can relate to him thirdwheeling to others story, maybe. For me, i prioritize emotional intelligence over other qualities. So it was very refreshing to see mc who actually has high eq. Though, i also love drama a lot so i kinda wish that this couldve more yknow drama or some serious stuff. Then it would be epic.
I thought the mc is a pushover then the red girl voiced my thoughts, and his answer was so mature. well he is still too kind imo
if i need to be this kind to be adored by characters (if i got isekai), i kinda rather not. it is exhausting and i wont be genuine
beside, ik it's normal for isekai story to have passive mc who has no main goal, but this was frustrating. finally after 60+ mc began to be a bit more active. ik he wants to go home, but does he ever move with this goal in mind? it was pretty much slice of life bits with sprinkle of action. sometimes story for girls/women are like this.
if this was a shounen or action story, mc would have tried to seek and collect those unique items that can grant wishes in order to go home. he could secretly went to information guild (very commom plot point), finding way to get doppleganger to move around etc, which is cliche
i didnt's say which one is better, but tbh having some sort of direction that mc explicitly declared would be good. at first it was great when mc tried to read books and mags but those info and knowkledge arent as useful as expected, he didnt even know the value of money after all that reading.
overall this is friendship and fluff first kind of story
