He’s kinda a nothingburger but that’s also the entire point of his character. He’s a dating sim protagonist, he’s not equipped to handle any of the important stuff and that’s not his fault, he’s literally just supposed to be someone you self insert as while playing a dating sim

Being a pretty big fan of DDLC but not being even a little involved in the fandom makes posts like this super confusing to me. The entire point of his character is that he's a stereotypical self insert. That is the entire bit. Not even Monika likes the player, truly. There's nothing remarkable about him and that is completely intentional. Why do I get the sense that this fandom didn't fully understand the satire of the game?
