can they get rid of that smug bishounen idiot, he adds nothing to the story and he's not even interesting as a foil, he's on the level of rude sidekick friend you see in too many manga that authors love to put in for some reason
No, those parasite type friends/companions/characters that look ugly, demand u "share" everything, are too rude or smug, or drag the party down and provide no benefit, absolute or net 0 in-story or even meta wise.
And authors love to put them in for some reason.
I've stopped caring about this manga because of him. And ofc mc-kun is all friendshipppppp.
This aint dissing annoying characters, they can exist. Gollum, or most foil characters are not even close to that bad.
Wait...this is the guy who was introduced a couple chapters ago as a rival who, like Zero, is also loved by the spirits?
did that knight girl cut his nuts off?
Oh...wait, yeah she did.
