This manga really started off promising but fell off recently and I don't know if it can recover. Quick Summary (WARNING Spoilers ahead): The main protagonist, Ichirou Kobayashi, of this manga has a inkling to become the best "side character" of a protagonist after playing a side character in a play when he was a kid. So naturally he spends his life trying to find just the right story beats and find his so-called perfect "protagonist" to follow. Which eventually he does in a man named Ryuuga. As Ichirou Kobayashi is trying to weave his own version of a story we get see many tropes playedon - quite hilarious at times too. Including the classic trope of the so-called protagonist Ryuuga with his harem of girls fighting against evil that no-one else is supposed to know about. However things get mixed up when one-day Ichirou Kobayashi find out that his "protagonist" Ryuuga isn't a he, but instead is a she. And she has been hiding as a female this whole time, trying not to show her deep feeling for our main protagonist, Ichirou Kobayashi. This utterly crumbles Ichirou Kobayashi's plans and he really doesn't know what to do. He planned to simply be a bystander character in this story, not the main love interest. He wanders around trying to figure out what to do in life and accidentally stumbles on the harem girls and accidentally starts setting up red flags with all of them one by one. This causes Ichirou Kobayashi to accidentally fall into becoming the actual main protagonist. All of this being quite hilarious. Then some other events happen and then the manga just takes a nose-dive in quality for me.

Now, where this manga started to fall flat for me was when the Demon of Greed was shown to be living in Ichirou Kobayashi as a sort of doppelganger. This character really just dragged the whole story down for me. Especially since this greed demon loves the once thought to be a male Ryuuga, and actively goes around pretending to be Ichirou Kobayashi trying to seduce Ryuuga. All the meanwhile Ichirou Kobayashi really doesn't seem to care too much? He really just kinda lets things happen at this point. All his drive as a character is gone and feels like this story just started going a complete different direction, that includes Ichirou Kobayashi allowing essentially a look-alike to cheat on his pretend girlfriend Ryuuga.

I just don't know where this story is going anymore. Unless the demon of greed is killed or just removed from this manga in the next few chapters I might just drop this one, cause it went from being pretty good to bad really quick. I really don't know this can recover at this point.
