I concur with what you said, and I want to expound on a topic you introduced in your post, specifically this one:
> "talk out the differences and find a middle ground"
Collapsing for space:
@S0viet_Noob
Your analogy unfortunately fails, as you've misunderstood what it means to have any of the female characters accept Kazuya for who he is. None of the characters like the emotionally worn down, self-deprecating Kazuya, as that's not who Kazuya is. Kazuya is passionate, hopeful, and...

>"You make it sound like Ruka is the only contender since Chizuru is oh so bad..."
I never said that Chizuru is bad, I've said she is bad for Kazuya as a romantic partner. I've also said, albeit in a round-about way, Ruka is everything Kazuya wants, just not WHO he wants. I'm going...
@S0viet_Noob
One of my major gripes with Chizuru is that she's bland. She lacks initiative, no intuition, yet she receives the prestigious title of FMC, lacks character progression, and actively sabotages the MC's character development, but she doesn't have to be bland. Chizuru is limited by the...
@arimareiji
Finally, somebody else that get's it. Chizuru is just not good for him in terms of being a lover, but I do believe they should date for a short time that way Kazuya can have the cathartic release from reaching for that "green light" in the distance, and attribute to himself some...

> "I'm not saying chizuru is perfect, but could you state some flaws?"
Sure. Chizuru has broken her contract with her company on multiple occasions, even visited her client's apartment, failed to report Kazuya's sexual misconduct, falsified work times. That's just the legal issues...
@S0viet_Noob I agree with you that spending time with a person increases the chances that you'll develop a special relationship with that person. What I hate is that Chizuru is used as a plot device, and less like a character. Chizuru doesn't feel like an FMC, she feels like a convenient way to...
@Revenant62
I won't defend Ruka's collective actions, that's a bad hill to die on, but you also can't analyze Ruka in a vacuum either. Of course the actions Ruka has taken should be frowned upon by any sane person, but it frustrates me that people elevate Chizuru to levels of perfection...
I'm surprised nobody's talking about the Ruka conundrum, and the serious implications it means for those that ship Kazuya x Chizuru. This probably be a long one, so I'll collapse it into a spoiler as to not take up an inordinate amount of space for those just casually scrolling through.
