Now that is just a combo of vague questions, that heavily rely on your preferences.
But yeah, I would say he is maybe a little better then the average garbage MC from NTR - but not by much.
He's not really annoying in the dialogues - they can be pretty fun and thoughtful. And some girls in this threat said 'at least he's hot', so there's that. I'm not a good judge on that aspect.
But you REALLY need to keep your suspension of disbelieve in check if you want to go through this game without cringing.
Depending on what you choose: he either turns a blind eye on everything, trusting everyone unconditionally, OR - if you're suspicious - he fails to fix the problem by himself, stumbling around awkwardly.
Which is kinda understandable - else plot can't go on with the NTR stuff. But it's also can be pretty cringe.
Also he is the main contrast for the antagonist - a confidant guy with psychological games, which always work and never fail.
...At least not until the end. Plot reasons.
So keep that in mind.
He is the CONTRAST to these traits. He's there to make antagonist feel more menacing.
P.s. Also, apparently, there's a whole fanfic going on in this thread on how antagonist is obsessed with the mMC. So take it for what you will.
Maybe it'll add some flavor to your playthrough.
