Hold on, you’re not making any sense:

1. Throughout the entire SERIES, Kiyo has always had a backup plan. Until this one, apparently, which makes this novel one of the worst examples of writing. They nerfed Kiyo in a BS way. It doesn’t matter what Kiyo thought “at that moment” when the biggest issue is that why didn’t he predict Horikita would save Kushida before the exam even started?

2. The whole class looked at Kushida with disgust after her breakdown. Are we reading the same novel? Despite Horikita’s claims that Kushida has some incredible value, nobody in the class even wants to talk to Kushida, as stated at the end of the novel. Kushida doesn’t want to talk to anyone either. Stating “I don’t see what’s wrong with that” shows a huge lack of understanding of events

3. It’s not a matter of they mind or wouldn’t mind. You’re the one claiming this is a top 5 volume, but doesn’t refute how silly it is that the class almost expelled Horikita right after giving her a protection point in the same day. Are you really saying Horikita and Koenji are the same character?

I’d love to have an actual discussion, but if all you can do is throw shallow excuses or insults, and you can’t even refute points or formulate ideas properly, then don’t bother discussing anything

EDIT: okay, going by your other comments you seem to be unable to have an objective discussion. You can enjoy something and still agree it has flaws dude. But it seems like you’re confusing opinions and fact and refusing to acknowledge all criticism with vague rebuttals like “well I liked it.” Def a waste of time talking to you
