Still understand his point though. Competitive play can get exhausting and toxic.

^One of the reasons I don't play MOBA or any other online games anymore. It's hard to stay "chill" while playing, and you eventually get into this toxic competitive spirit whether you like it or not and everyone you're playing with is the same and you sometimes end up being more exhausted than refreshed at the end of it all.

Really, Karen it is just one guy, nooo sweat.
Why sweat over a person for refusing to join, is this really her first time to be rejected? Ok, maybe just a little sweat because it is a main character who refused your offer to join. |

I think she is well aware of her status in school so being rejected definitely hurt her pride. |

There are gamers who prefer playing games solo and alone, and gamers who prefer multiplayer. I'm 50/50 in this regard. I assume he's the former and prefers to keep to himself.
Doesn't make me want to strangle him any less though. One of the reasons I find gaming more enjoyable is specifically because I can share it with others. On that end despite all these decades of how gaming has become more mainstream than when I was a kid, I'll perhaps never understand why Japanese society still seems to put a social stigma on being a gamer.

Yeah, honestly I'd say my gaming is 90% solo and 10% multiplayer. Sure I like to play some games with friends occasionally, but it's a small percentage. Though mostly since I lean more to story driven games which you aren't going to get that much from multiplayer focused titles.
I can certainly understand a lack of desire to join that club. 2 straight hours of playing in a competitive setting can be fun if you are into it, but certainly can feel grueling if it becomes an obligation to keep playing. Although seems like when it comes down to it, the issue is partly. In his shoes I'd be conflicted. Would probably just go along with it since having friends who share the same general interest is a positive. Although I can't blame him for turning it down. He wants to play games for the fun of them a club focused on competition and training is a different kind of experience. If it was a casual gaming club where they just hung out and played I think he'd be in. Obviously he'll end up joining and it will probably go down the route of expanding his views or finding other ways to enjoy playing games. No doubt it is a hit to her pride being turned down once. Showing in the cracks in her smile and pushing the question again the next day. And wow she just fell apart by the end there. I feel for her since it had to be shocking. But, in the end it isn't like he turned her down in an overly rude manner. Actually did a pretty solid job of expressing his reasons for rejecting the offer. She just couldn't handle it .

I found this oddly enjoyable, probably because I am a huge gamer and also prefer the solo titles (strategy, RPG), although I've also been playing World of Warcraft since day one it came out in Germany. Well, you can mostly play it "solo" nowadays, outside of raiding.
But, yeah, I've been playing World of Tanks for a few months, and it gets exhausting and makes you feel negative about other gamers. I get his point completely.

There's no need to over-analyze this show, unless one did the same for Baka Test and Seizon.
Sure there is some story and character and romantic development just like the other 2 series, but it's best to enjoy and laugh your heads off the way it was meant for. |

In general terms it is more skewed towards comedy, not necessarily at the %'s you've described (and a lot of the comedy could probably be equated with unnecessary, light hearted suffering due to romantic misunderstandings). |

Yea, personally I am with the MC.
I play games for fun, especially PvE. I dislike playing games for competitive or money, which is pretty much PvP. Same deal as people that plays RP for fun, who would play RP for competitive, how do you even do that? lol. Which is also the reason why I only play MMO that doesn't require PvP to get PvE stuff.... such as needing to do PvP to get certain gears before you can head further into PvE, this sucks. Yes yes, I am a carebear, but that's just how I like to play my games. ___ ___ ___ Also, apparently MC's a "Game before Girl" type of guy. |

Just watched episode 1. That was a surprise when he turned down the chance to join the club. I thought he would have jumped for joy at the chance - and of course I'm sure he'll join eventually. I understand his feelings though. Being forced to play an FPS for two and a half hours on your first day would send me running for the hills too. Looking forward to the next ep!
