MC is "ignorant" of the girls advances because he is really a broken man and not because he is stupid and dense like 90% of the harem MCs. But there is actually a "stupid and dense" harem MC in this story: Priestess.
Ignores High Elf Ranger and Sword Maiden's advances
In fact, i think is more that GS literally just "doesn't know what to do".
>Compulsive autismo with a niche interest that inexplicably has a cast of cute girls falling for him, which he has no idea how to handle
Gee, I wonder who this could be targeted towards.
The date chapters are just a part of Goblin Slayer's healing and for humanizing him.
>Inexplicably.
It's a fact that girls are attracted to guys that, for real, need love and GS DOES NEED love.
This. The end game for GS is either death in his pursuit of ridding the world of goblins or settling down on a farm with his job complete.
Why are flat elves so hot?
Because they got big ears.
...
Are you one of those guys who actually think GS is just about slaying goblins?
