this is one of the best If not the best hikigaya x cote fic. he is neither a whimp or some absolute edge lord. He isn't even all much of a pushover which I came to expect from all the hikigaya fics in cote verse I have been reading. This has a lot of oregairu crossover characters and the fanfic actually takes liberties into adding them in a more meaningful way.
this 💯 feels like a harem, idk why there isn't a tag for that here but probably it's because of this is a CN fic so he didn't know. as of 200 chapter plus, even if doesn't end up as harem, the ones who have shown interest in hikigaya are yukishonita haruno, kushida, matsushita, sakayanagi (question mark as she often tends to act the same in all the fics where she has any relevance in cote fanfic plot so for now I can't say properly but the way she has been interacting with Mc, she seems like she has some entertainment or interest value on hikigaya), masumi and shiina. horikita has begin to change and has started to rely on mc in latest chapters as well as kushida and horikita have talked out the past.
the fic has reached 2nd semester and just prep for sports day has started so a lot can happen and apparently this fic has over 700 chapters? so possibly a lot of stuff can happen and or change.
Overall it's peak story and surprisingly not that man CN stereotype exist.
