They are absolutely comparable, Both have a primary focus in humor that has declined in one, Both have delinquent protagonists who have a similar personality. I'd go so far as to say that the super natural element in beelzebub doesn't even have that much of a major impact in the story. Cue Oga going to different schools and beating up 'normal' studentsl. Yes this may change in the future but I'm inclined to say that about the present.

This along with the fact that both include some of the same used plotlines i:e The protagonist meeting and fighting with the parent/guardian of the heroine.

So? It's an internet forum. All opinions are subjective, That doesn't mean we can't argue about them. What would be the point of a debate or argument if were just going to say "opinions are like assholes lulz" and drop it.

I've made suggestions a lot of times, In both the current discussion and on previous occasions. It's just that i cite KKOW when it comes to how i think something is done in a better way and how it should be done.

That's very misleading, So KKOW isn't a battle/gag manga as well? What qualifies as a battle/gag manga in your opinion? And what qualifies as high school antics? All of the former elements are which present in both.

So what you're actually saying here is that development is basically perceived by the readers and it not actually may be development? Am i getting that right?

But when Beelzebub takes so much from the former and keeps the supernatural element minimal it absolutely deems a comparison.

If you mean that since Oga's life is filled with the supernatural and is thus disqualified from the "everyday life and relationships" state I'd strongly disagree with you there. What qualifies as "everyday life and relationships" anyway? I'd say that most manga with a central protagonist are stories about "Everyday life and relationships" of that character be it a story set on mars or on earth.
