Overall, well written, the author has an immense talent at making intriguing characters with well developed backstories and does well using the canon characters, however, so far (I’ve read till the end of chapter 12), there’s been developments that makes the main protagonist evil. Considering the literal only tag indicating that is the “dark” tag which doesn’t say alot, took me off guard, and really lowered my opinion of the character so far. I’m not sure if the serial killer aspect of this character is from the COTE World, or from his past world, since I’m not that far in, but I hope it is. What the MC did to Suzune was completely unnecessary, it may be because I haven’t gone far in, but right after ‘breaking’ her, she acts completely fine, and insulting her and sexually assaulting her was completely unnecessary, the guy had ample leverage in the form of her being expelled, and really didn’t need to do any more then that and maybe a few insults to lower her arrogance, and show why she’s in Class D. He was completely fine before this segment came to be and it was infinitely strange to read such a shift with such a lack of build up, they had already made up at the cafe, Honestly, add a few tags that describe him as an evil character, because how he acts in these few chapters, the earlier chapters don’t show him being a serial killer, and I understand the layers and acts that COTE characters tend to use, but I didn’t feel that before, they’re like two different characters inhabiting the same body, I didn’t come into this wanting to read a evil Protag, I need to be in a certain spiteful mood for those kinds of stories, so this was disappointing, hope the author continues, and possibly rewrites this segment. Everything before this was pretty fantastic, and a COTE story in and off itself as a concept is great.
