Eh... extremely premature imho.He's basically a loser residing in a winner's body. Every time he passively wins, he's amazed and surprised. Yet, when he needs to do something actively, his miserable personality gets in the way. Like getting scared by the bloody spider like a little girl, ruining his plan. That's where I dropped the show, judging it a good indication of what's to come.
I mean, isn't this just supposed to show that he's not that "cool and smart and super nice" on the inside, but actually a normal person that does this to benefit from it?
Wouldn't it be extremely boring and generic otherwise? He'd just be that typical "super hot and nice" guy every school anime has. (you know, the dude that plays soccer and is always nice to the girls and breaking up fights and shit).
At least up until now, he's actually "winning" throughout the full episode, there is basically no moment other than that note at the end that shows him "losing".
And knowing that he's doing it on purpose is actually what makes it more fun to watch.... because we all hate that "nice dude" who gets all the girls by doing nothing, d-don't we?
How was Hikki's "archnemesis" called again? That blonde dude (who actually has something more sinister going on). Though that guy is at least remotely truely "kind", while MC in this show, so far, is actually doing this only and truely for his own benefit. Pretty similar to that show 1 or 2 seasons ago where kids would get some superpowers (invisible girl, body switching MC, timetravel etc.etc. forgot the name).
I mean, it's rather obvious that, just like that dude from the show 2 seasons ago, he will eventually turn out to be truely kind etc., but at least there is hope that it will last a little longer than what we had to witness during that other show (1 episode of him being super arrogant/abusive/manipulating and then 180° turn to a really tame and nice guy)
