I have followed Hirasaka-san's novel a long time and I have a collection of his work at home
The essence of Hirasaka-san's novel is sarcasm and mockery, but not moe and fan-service
He made fun of otaku culture (mainly, like the previous chapter in this manga, galgame, monster hunter...) and the whole world (some of his early works)
Because of the cruel reality (the sales of his early works are not good), he compromised and added more moe elements.
This work is the result - a little mockery and a lot of moe.
The sales result proved that this is the right choice.
The novel is not as crazy as his early work. Still, I like it.

By the way, the title of this book is called "I have few friend" but we, the novel readers, always refer it as "I have few friend but I have a harem"
