MC is living the old tale of the tiger who gets a tiger body, but his reflexes and his fears are still those of a mouse: he fears the bullying superpowered bullies all around him, he loves the adverts about the superhero women bombshells, but face to face, he cannot cope with man-eaters and their fashion of how they like to dishearten the males, all of whom they consider, as a collective, as a bunch of hapless simps under their authoritarian thumbs.
He's not the sharpest tool in the shed
They had made the pact, that probably should have been a hint
I can chalk that up to his low self-esteem on not having powers but the excuse is shallow at best, I admit.
I also understand him being a bit dumb about things happening around him in the latest chapters because he has just been introduced to the superhero world and it hasn't been 2 weeks since he was attacked
We also have a bunch of member berries from some photos from the past of MC: MC is not anything special with Evie, it is another girl who fancies MC like a life partner, rather than a simp: the invisible sweetheart.
Evie likes to block guys around her but she keeps them firmly locked in their simp friend zone cages. It is something girls do when they do not like to participate in anything, but simply enjoy seeing the guys break their necks to fulfill their most nonsensical requests.
