Nah, it not downgrade, you just expect a different thing from what the mangaka offer.Personally, I've been losing interest. The initial pull of "The protagonist is suppressing murderous tendencies in order to feign normalcy" was an interesting idea for a protagonist, and the notion that this might cause serious problems down the line intrigued me, but since then, it's become all but nonexistent by this point and become a bog-standard romance comedy. Feels like a downgrade imo.
