It’s Not Bad Luck with Guys—You Just Have Catastrophically Terrible Taste in Men!

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Just because a guy fits your type doesn’t mean he’s a good person.

But a man who’s only kind? Only smart? He’s nothing more than a nice guy—forgettable, unimpressive, incapable of igniting real desire. Women don’t dream about men like that. They settle for them. And no one wants to be a consolation prize.

The world is unfair like that.

High school, college, even the so-called real world—women hold the power to choose. They dictate the game, decide who wins, who gets left behind. So if you’re miserable, if you keep ending up with bastards and cheaters, whose fault is it, really? You made the choice. You picked wrong. And if you want to be happy? You better learn how to judge men properly.

And so, we arrive at the story of Nakanishi Yuuya—a man on the losing side of the equation.

Too nice to be wanted.

Too smart to be fun.

Too self-aware to be happy.

Will his voice—his quiet, desperate pleas—ever be heard?

Come, let’s watch and find out.

This is that kind of story.

I actually thought this was nice. If it wasn't for the translator forgetting to update the novel, I would've given a proper review but it scratched an itch for me. All the novels from Sofap have been childish high-school drama.

This one is more mature. Serious, but not too serious that it becomes dark.

Anyway, I would have loved to continue and see how it goes. But the update is terrible and I'm leaving now.

Absolute comedy.

Basically a story about a guy who basically doesn't care about getting NTR'd and immediately moves on. His straight-laced personality is what kept me reading this.

Actually, it's more towards BSS (I liked them first) but it's still funny how easily the MC moves on.

HOWEVER, the MC is dragged into their problems and is forced to help them. So DO NOT READ if you're easily pissed off by a goody-two-shoes MC who helps out used rags.

Anyway, the formula is basically: ... more>>
Spoiler

MC's current crush falls for a douche/s*umbag > MC finds out and moves on > Crush realizes they messed up > MC helps them out of pity, but still doesn't love them > Crush Regrets/Learns from their Mistakes.

[collapse]

If you want more details:
Spoiler

1st Girl - Childhood Friend: Rejected MC and called him a loser. Then fell in love with a soccer club douche, who manipulates her into passing herself around to the rest of the club members like a relay baton.

2nd Girl - College Friend: Became MC's girlfriend... For ONE DAY, then immediately broke up with him to hook up with a gambling addict who physically assaults her and extorts money from her to pay off his debt.

3rd Girl - Work Colleague: Current Arc, not much known. But she likes the douche who framed MC for supposedly embezzling the company's money.

4th Girl - MC's Junior and ONLY friend (Main Heroine??) : Hasn't been NTR'd; but almost did if the MC didn't intervene. She simultaneously loathes and admires the MC's personality. Also she's been desperately attempting to hook the MC up with the Childhood Friend.

[collapse]

There are 3 arcs in total: Highschool > College > Workforce (Adult)

For every girl, the MC is involved in some way where he has to help them break up / separate from their douche BF. (He only helps them because he pities and feels bad for them.)

But after helping said girl, the girl starts to fall in love with the MC who has already forgotten his feelings for them. (He'd rather focus on Education than lament about others' relationships.)

Anyways... To fully enjoy this just turn off your brain and enjoy the ride. <<less

This novel is the venting of a nerd who could not get a chick to like him. "Nice guys finish last" would fit the theme of the novel. To clarify, guys who expect girls to throw themselves at guys who act "nice." Hey, random dudes on the internet, expecting something out of being nice isn't actually a virtue. Girls like nice guys who act nice, do good things, and can communicate.

The main character is a nerd who is hung up on his first crush. He vents every chapter about how... more>> being smart is terrible for getting laid. While book smarts are not a good indicator of finding a mate, book smarts can help translate into other skills such as critical thinking and problem solving. Unfortunately, all the smarts of the main character are dedicated to tr*sh talking his former crush, her shitty boyfriend, and the rude friends of the crush.

I don't recommend reading this at all. There is no romance, the tragedy is self evident, and the main character is just as unlikable as his crush. <<less
