he's quite a cute goof combined with the classic mysterious power black/brown haired male lead tropes which is super fun. I'm really really looking forward to how that's all portrayed, especially his affection towards ruri cat and then when he figures out he likes her.

They've already nixed some of the more over explained parts from the Ln which I definitely think was a good idea, it's a little difficult to read because of things like that. (although still enjoyable just perhaps a tedious, lns in general seem to have an issue with that tho. )
