I reckon its biggest differential is MC's more realistic empathy and way of thinking.
He's an average human being, not a dick for brains (just sometimes, like we all are) psychopaths like in 95% of the games, nor a pure, innocent and naive being that girls take advantage of sexually (the other 5%).
Having said that, I also like Sollvaley School just add much.
MC's mind isn't as realistic, but the dialogues are.
He's not an insecure guy, and he's not a manipulative psychopath. He's ugly af but he's very confident in a different way: not a smooth talker, he's just cool and down to earth, he speaks the inconvenient truth all the time and bro, that's another 0.01% rarity to find in games.
Anyhow, the situations and the dialogues are really hot, you can forget the skip button because everything is interesting
