The first red flag is the first time MC sister kiss MC as a way for her to make sure her feelings of loving him is genuine and real, and I'm not gonna lie, is absurd af, but you know, I saw the in*est tag and this is in the range of my prediction, so I could look past that, the real bummer though, came from the pacing of this novel.

You see, from the number of Female characters there are, this might incline you to believe that this is a slow burn kind of novel, a type of novel with each volume solving the misunderstanding and problems MC has with some female character, but nope, in the span of fewer than 25 chapters, all the misunderstanding MC had distempered, all feud is resolved, no hatred remains, which remain a bummer, heck, even MC view, stance, feelings and emotion over the last 13 years completely changed because...."Love" (No seriously, I put love in quotation to for insult, but because I genuinely don't know whether the female characters is actually in love with MC, or are just insane).

This doesn't explore the female characters which consist of: an insane Aunt who repressed MC memory, the two female classmates with the combined IQ less than that of a table, A sister with questionable action and motive, and you get yourself a mess of a novel

Let's put it at this way.

• • First of all you are neglected by your own mother since childhood, when a child needs their parent's care and love the most and she is just neglecting her and funnily with her clumsiness and cowardliness, I don't think the amount of misunderstandings the MC got from her piles up till it got fixed. This made him close down a bit of his personal desires a bit.

• • Now this leads to Second case. Due to your other family member (mother) neglecting you so much in childhood, again it's the phase when the child needs the care and love the most, there is your Elder Sister that is not much older than you. Understandable that the amount of dependence he got on her is too high due to imbalance with the three person family. But then, it's understandable that she would also bear heavy responsibility, and
    due to her being a child herself, she give in to envy and rage (MC didn't know how much Mother dotes on him), out of the surprise and shock of our MC, out of anger she tells him to get die (be gone or whatever) and pushed him off (he also got a physical concussion). This case made the first breaking point on his life. The sheer sense of lost and loneliness a child of his age (this should be on his time on elementary school) is already a red flag for a normal person to have a broken mindset. If not for his aunt to give him suggestions and a "seal", it's enough for a child to get drastic change of personality and might even get spirited away. This incident broke every vestige of emotions of familial happiness and love for him. His sense of self got saved in the nick of time luckily. Oh BTW he might have a physical problem with his head at this point.

• • Third part should be when he knows he's not loved by his OWN family, now in turn it's outside of that (basically the public). The theft incident made him not have an inkling of trust on every strangers and acquaintances he has. At this point he felt that everyone just doesn't trust him and this made him cold to any kinds of favor from anyone he doesn't trust. But hey, at least he got a supportive childhood friend and her family who trusts him that he's not that kind of person. This childhood friend of his is the remaining anchor that gives the MC emotions. This incident made him isolate himself and lost his trust on the world, this also made his quirk that would get misunderstandings on general public/classroom. Also goodbye self-confidence and anger emotion

• • When you thought at the least that he still has this little anchor then the Fourth incident came. Oh this one is similar to the second incident, but this is the final nail on the coffin that affects MC's everything. What has he lost? Simple. It's Love. This officially made him feel that no one loves him at this world. Imagining that there is his fragile hope misconception that at least there's at least ONE person that would love him in this life just to get dumpstered and "betrayed" by that same person right before he wants to confess his love to her (she does loves him dearly BTW). This broke every emotion that he has left.

• • Fifth incident is just someone kicking a corpse already. To be fair the basketball girl just got unlucky and MC again got injury physically and emotionally again. At this point he's just a husk and just wanted salvation by pouring himself into basketball. But guess what, He can't even do that and it's right before the tournament LMAO.

With this multitude of psyche destroying tragedies, if not for Aunt sealing some of his emotions. I highly doubt that he would be still be alive lol.

His sister was childish and tried to kill him, his mother treated him like air when he was a child, his childhood friend broke his heart, and his classmate broke his heart again and also his arm. These are the main 4 reasons why he became like this, but there's actually more than that.

attempted mu*der

Unlike many readers who absolutely hates those female characters that hurts MC one by one, I actually finds them quite likeable. At least they know they have to redeem their wrongdoing for MC. If it's in real life, people might simply hurts you and let yourself handling the rest.

aunts

The in*est is really weird though. My suggestion is to just completely ignore those parts

For example when MC is falsely accused (again smh) and suspended, his sister shows a picture of his room which has nothing but a bed, desk and etc. Nothing but basic needs. Like the room has no personality like he's ready to disappear anytime

Btw I wouldn't be suprised even if the guy managed to get a harem ending in modern day. Even if he clearly states he is in no state of an emotional relationship with someone and refuses them clearly, they just don't really get convinced. So somehow even harem ending seems possible. However if he were to choose someone he says and most readers think he would choose someone who didn't hurt him in the past because their love started from or just became strong due to Mc's kindness to their cruelty.

so the MC is a kind boy who got broken because of his past tragic events and how he was treated, although it was just a misunderstanding, and because of those misunderstandings the MC got broken, however, it's not just any misunderstanding that anyone can cope at..

having every woman who he came into contact with fall for him was a bit extra,

soma senpai can be the one who doesnt fall but rather supports him
