i hate it. it feels like the MC is a self-insert or reader insert it feels like a wish-fulfillment fantasy rather than a believable romance most of the time and the girl always like the guy for too quickly or for the bare minimum. The girl often carries the relationship, and the guy only barely reacts, doing anything himself.
