I know he didn't steal anyone but the only reason she talked to him is because she mistook him for the MC. If the MC was properly sent with them then the chances of the MC is slightly bigger by a percent or so since there was a foundation for the relationship. Granted that we as readers can only speculate, and that guy didn't do anything wrong, we can't help but feel bad about it since the story is shown from the MC's perspective. (ie. we saw how harsh his life is and wanted if at least that win he did at the start could develop into something).
I read the LN so of course I knew what happened behind the scenes. The girl didn't do anything wrong too so I don't blame any of them I am just saying its hard to like them even if they did nothing wrong since I feel bad for the MC.
That lazy god who outsources his job by killing random groups of people and manipulating things to give him more power, him I hate.
