If no girls like the MC, isn't he just a loser?

What's the point of trying to be inconspicuous if you are trying so much that you stand out the most because of it?
And yeah, getting your osananajimi NTRed by the hero seems to me as a good character trait for a loser.

Which leads to a question I seriously fear to ask, but what is the motivation of the MC? I get he wants to stay in shadows (for which being the most uncooperative seems as a terrible idea), but what else does he want? Of course not money, girls or fame, but what then?

Regrettably apparently this is a novel of 2016 that does not even reach 400k characters (in 100 chapters).
And these two combinations [主人公不在多々] and [脇役] do not help, it reinforces the possible irritation that this novel may cause.
Also according to reviews of vol 1 in amazon, basically the actions of the MC has no real relevance and any problem that the MC is involved is enhanced by his own ineptitude.

Uhmmm, I can answer your questions and doubts, but I consider them plot spoilers, so I guess I have to attach the spoiler tag to answer your questions below.

Yeahh ... Then he should just go to some very rural random village and die there.

Seriously, why is he even doing things? I don't think he'll need money very much at some random rural village.

For those of you who can read the language, if you read from Chap 3, a transfer student girl gets introduced to the classroom, and if I'm not mistaken, her name is Kirisaki Kotoha, and she then goes and runs to hug the soon-to-be Yuusha guy, named Kotomine Akira, with Kotoha revealing herself to be his childhood friend(At this point we as readers can know that this girl is the newest 4th member of Akira's harem, which also includes MC's childhood friend, who If I'm not mistaken, is named Aoi or something(can't remember well), before the magic circle appeared and summoned all of the class to the other world.

Therefore, if this gets a comicalization(Manga adaptation), we will see from the very beginning chapters of a scene where the Yuusha guy gets hugged by a girl with the MC just observing from his seat in front of them......

In contrast, the other novel with a similar setting, Assasin de aru ore no status---something (I forgot the whole name of the title ), doesn't have such a scene with a grill hugging a Yuusha character from the beginning chapters......

So... What are you trying to say is, that this is a Do-M NTR Crap show?

Since there wouldn't be much of a story if he actually succeeded in living a mob life, how does he end up getting dragged into shenanigans after faking his death?

And, if this ever gets a Manga, the Mangaka has no choice but to draw Kotoha as a pretty girl, because the WN chapter 3 clearly stated "Bishoujo" which translates as "pretty girl". So he can't draw just a freckled girl with glasses and must follow exactly as the source material text stated.

MC's facial expression will of course not be drawn too dramatic, I guess, as it's not even his own Osananajimi that's doing the hugging.......at least not yet.

I don't really get your point or you mean this novel show some girl hugged other guy beside MC? if so then this alone can't consider to be standout or special to be honest.

That's depressing and pathetic as fu*k! More shi* than Sono mono or whatever it's called...
And are you trying to recommend this shi* to us? Nobody likes this cliche and boring MC...

In this LN, other than the Yuusha character, the MC has a male best friend named Kakimoto, so I hope that he too gets a girl of his own and gets strong enough to help MC and his heroine in the future. Kakimoto deserves one girl of his own just like the MC many times more so than the brainless Yuusha.

As for the Yuusha, Kotomine Akira, I don't quite care much if he dies or not if he fights the Maou Army, as he....blamed the MC for doing something ( he was framed for ) without investigating thoroughly first.
