How is this so popular?

Waht do you mean?? Asia is clearly the best girl

what happened bros? was the last season really that cursed?

Is it really that popular? I haven't seen anything about it in years.

The normies on reddit really like it

Battle Harem LN in general rarely get continuations if at all. The only one so far that's truly complete is Strike the Blood, and that's been going strong for the past 9 years because the studio and publishers were smart enough to release the anime in OVA format for better overall quality.

I'd actually argue it's WORSE than average, the only major advantage it has is actually showing tits and even that ends up ironically being more annoying when the MC won't seal the deal

The showing tits thing honestly made it worse for me because it felt like the author and staff didn't know how to make actual seductive characters without giving them big tits or flashing their boobs every five seconds. Rias and Akeno's attempts at seduction in particular felt very off putting because it's clear both of them are virgins and so don't have any real experience on the adult side of things.

>MC is overt about wanting to fuck women and has the overt ambition of wanting a harem, but he's too socially inept to go about it
>Decent/Good Combat, althrough i'm pretty sure it never gets better then when he fights the rapist Count and beats him with literal Holy water
>Girls have a good enough personality and are assertive enough to be relatively unique
