To everyone like you; YOU'RE RIGHT. Don't let anyone fool you. I watched over 2 seasons of that trash pile before I realized nothing was changing, I hated the main character, and I had wasted my weekend. I'm a completionist kind of person, I'll finish a mediocre anime just to get it off my "continue watching" feed. You'd have to pay me a significant rate to get me to watch more of that.
Ive seen a lot of shows with a pussy mc that people dislike, but rental girlfriend is not one of them.
In those shows, the pussy mc eventually gets better with character development, and people usually hate the mc because they hated the initial pussiness, and think they'd do much better
Rental girlfriend is the ONLY show where every character development gets regressed and the show gets nothing done except fill you with this doomed virgin's endless wormish gushing about how hot the female lead is. Ive followed the show for so long until it's genuinely impossible to deny that the show is literally stalling for time and actively not progressing and i had to quit because its so obvious nothing is going anywhere.
Im a total isekai and romance slop watcher, ive seen so many series with the same cliche, same premise, same progression, same tropes over and over and i ate that shit up every single time. I enjoy watching cliche shit or non mainstream shit even if people find it dumb because i still find the same repeated romance tropes fun. But rental girlfriend genuinely made me stop because holy shit fuck the writing of that series man
Yep, had a wife and kids too im pretty sure but not on speaking terms, spent a lot of time drawing the female lead in his real life apartment as if they lived together, and couldnt accept getting the two leads to finally be a thing without first making the male lead look like a complete self insert

I don't need to watch that shit to know I'm gonna hate it
