You're ignoring the fact that the writer is writing everything, not just the parts you understand.
He also wrote the part where the women have lived to the age of 20 and not figured out how to wrap some cloth around their breasts.
Are you sure you're as smart as you think?
Are you sure you want to openly declare that this is well written?
I'm also right about my other point, which is that this character is deliberately being crafted to be pathetic, selfish, and uninteresting. (so far)
Think about it another way, why would the writer and model-poser make fantasy sex scenes, unless his goal were to make us identify somehow with someone who fantasizes rather than taking action? Wouldn't an actual alpha character do the helpful things he's already doing, but plan to actually sleep with them, rather than pathetically fantasizing about it in explicit, graphical detail?
