Unlike many viewers I actually really liked him at the beginning as I saw his struggle as something that was easy to identify with, but my opinion of him dropped to rock bottom in the second half.

That said though, I still really liked the show in general and don't understand the seemingly common viewpoint that the main character's very existence made it completely unwatchable and negated any other positive qualities it may have had.
I respect your opinion in the paragraph.

Now then, I agree what you said in the second. To dismiss a show because of the MC appearance alone, it seems really shallow.

True. I also liked Boys Be during my younger years. It's one of my first anime back in AXN.
