    That was the name of the novel. The plot conflict is tiresome. The logic is also shit. If he's going to hide that he stole some library books, why do he need to show everyone that a skelly was picking up trash? I was planning to drop it when he ordered his little skeleton with seven wings to harass the necromancy girl unconciously -- he should've been lucid during those times too but the author made it that way to create a shitty plot conflict or unfunny comedy -- rather than to hide the newly formed creation.

    I'll read it again in the near future with a new perspective. The premise was good but the execution was bad after the first chapter.

    I had stopped since the burning stupidity (hehe see what I did there?), but ever since that girl was mentioned, it was too fricking obvious where it was going haha. Fuck it. By the end there will be so many harem members that they can probably found a country.

    Ichika from Infinite Stratos. Seriously. Why is this even up for debate? Easily the most dense MC I've ever seen, so much so that it actually converts into stupidity. Like...at one point he wakes up to find one of the heroines nude, cuddling him (snuck in while he was asleep). This is VERY early on. In the anime, its in season 1 within the first 6 episodes I think. By the end of season 2, does he realize that there are girls in love with him? Nope. Come on bruh...come on...

    He improves. Significantly. Lyle at the very beginning is completely useless, and he remains fairly poor for quite a while. In the last 2-3 volumes worth though...improvements have been made. Mind you, I'm not saying he becomes amazing, but he certainly becomes good enough to not deserve to be in this thread.

    It almost feels like the traditional jap MCs are gay guys trying very hard to fake being straight.

    Sometimes I think that all JP MC do that in purpose but in reality they all know that the girls like them, but if they acknowledge it, there won't be a harem.

    For the first part was panic,the second dumbness,the third naive,and I think that Miggi hadn't shown him the blades until that dog so yea,he though he was op :D.Still a beautiful anime.Miggi the instinct and him the emotion..

    And the op's question reminded me of Trigun.There was an episode where he confronted an gunner in a city.He could've killed him in a second but no,they had to have a nice fight while the gunner pretty much slaughtered everyone in that city.All because the mc would not kill.I mean i get it,you made a promise not to kill,but to leave dozens of people to die when you could've ended it right away,that a no-no.Dropped it right after.
    I hate these type of mc's.Does the way he die awfull?Maybe.Does he deserve it.Fuck yea and even worse.
    Glad I will never ever see that Jack.

    Yea, kinda. Thats how they come across. I single out Ichika though since he is just...on another level. Like, his girls are literally throwing themselves at him, even the tsundere type is pretty aggressive.
    Pretty much. Although some are quite a bit better with their harems, like the MCs in Hagure Yuusha, Shinmai maou and Magika no kenshi.

    Ichika's density >>> Infinity.
    Unrelated, but what happened to that glorious avatar you had? :O
