Now, I understand why they asked people who are reading their translation to donate to them instead of directly to the author now.
Selfish fucking hypocrites, the lot of them
Liking a character or a person doesn't mean those bad parts or flaws should be ignored and pretend that it doesn't effect the people around them. Besides, the people Denji is surrounded with is extraordinary, so his flaws or behavior issues that would become a problem in a normal situation wouldn't get the chance to shine much in such extraordinary circumstances. but it made for exciting storytelling and characterization.
Honestly, your line of reasoning for Denji seems similar to people on the internet saying that Makima isn't "Evil" since she just made due with what was given to her, I mean sure, her circumstances shaped her into the Control Devil that we know of in the manga until her rebirth but how does that excuse her previous incarnation's actions? Yet despite being evil, people like her anyway, and people like Denji despite exhibiting creepy behaviors a couple of times.
Despite his flaws, I like him anyway
And that conversation, what the hell is happening in it? This is like the third time that it been "Shoehorned" in just to get the plot going. There's that one time he goes out in his birthday suit, to get spotted by the chubby girl, and the other one where he for whatever reason decided to be Assertive for no fucking reason despite being submissive the whole time by flirting with the pirate captain when he saw how submissive her real personality is. Instead of sympathizing or respecting her boundaries, HE CROSSES IT and sexually harassed her then it was glazed over like nothing happened in the next few pages, apparently, if he saw a girl shaving her armpits he would totally stay and look at her shaving her armpits so he just shave his beard in front of the pirate girl who is distressed or embarrassed to look at him shaving despite her asking for him to stop shaving in front of her and he found her reactions funny?
Now, that is fine, I understand that it is a manga and it would be funny if it happened fictionally whether it be man or women, but pick at least 1 core personality trait and stick to it and so it wouldn't be that infuriating, but seeing the MC flip-flopping around is not enjoyable for me.
Then there's that alcohol scene, for a salary man who worked in a black company, he's super weak to alcohol for whatever reason, surely the company or co-worker invited him out to drink a few times right? If he can't handle his alcohol then he should have been fired instead of working at that place, but "there's not enough info about his past world life so that get a pass" over my dead body. The more you think about that alcohol scene, the less sense it makes, because why would a salary man who seems to have no friends, and implied shitty co-workers and boss, and worked in a black company, not rely on alcohol for stress relief? If it is not alcohol then what did he rely on for stress relief before coming to this? Looking at thin books? Cause it don't look like it since he didn't make any reference to thin books or adultery, but he does have some knowledge of how sex works or has some level of sex ed in his head. Oh, maybe he was an exhibitionistic freak since he gone out in his birthday suit in that one chapter? Doesn't seem like he really did it for stress relief back in the original world and he didn't get fired so it mustn't be that right?
He didn't miss the modern games, he didn't miss the convenience of internet, and he didn't even miss his family from the original world, so what sort of personality he should have? Fucking blank until the author makes up whatever bullshit he wants?
The girls he makes are interesting and somewhat likeable too and I enjoyed their interactions between each other when their personality is consistent, except for the MC who seems to break his consistency every now and then
I really liked how the beginning started off, it has a lot of depth that I had to spent a lot of time reading a page and comprehending it, I really liked how the romances are setup.
Unfortunately, since it has a comedy tag a lot of those depth in later chapters got swallowed by characters that has interesting personality "Quirks" and "Aspects" that I didn't need to spend a lot of time to comprehend the pages.
I would recommend this manga if you have a lot of time to spend on your hand, but if you don't got the time, then it won't be enjoyable. It's like eating a bar of black chocolate with a 80% cacao content, enjoyable if savored but awful if rushed
