Because what if it isn't a dream? In dreams, you do stupid shit because you don't have control, but he clearly did. "I thought this was a game or a dream so I did whatever" is a weak excuse. His reaction is more like a dude lost in a foreign city than someone warped to a different world, clearly 2 very different things.
That said, this can be explained by his fantastically low intelligence, which is the most unbelievable thing.
Peace.
Did you enjoy any movie up to this day?
And yes, it's the exact same thing. There is absolutely no realistic character in 95% of the movies out there, whether they are about action, romance or whatever genre you pick. This doesn't mean 95% of the movies are bad though.... most of them are probably more fun to watch than the other 5% that tries to portray realistic characters.
People should really stop losing their shit just because the main character of a show, that means someone who should be fun to watch, is not reacting like the boring guy next door which noone cares about.
If I wanted him to run away from danger and lose his shit, I'd watch the helmet cam of a soldier in one of the wars going on right on youtube.
edit: just to make it clear, yes he is stupid and he should've realized the loops by now - but that and the comedy stuff going on have nothing to do with each other.

Yes. I don't even mind stupid characters, to be honest. I loved Konosuba, for one. The problem is this show's execution is very poor, for reasons I've already stated. It's half-assed. It tries the same comedic style as Konosuba but also wants to deliver a serious story with stratification and deaths. It's annoying to watch a character die repeatedly because he's stupid if the deaths are supposed to be taken seriously.Originally Posted by KrayZ33
EDIT: I don't particularly want him to be a boring, cowardly person. He can be a charismatic and analytical guy like Manato. He can be weak and kind like Bell. Heck, he can be an ass like Kazuma. I just don't want slapstick comedy driven by a stupid protagonist wrapped in a high budget "serious" story.
BTW, no one is losing their shit, well, except you. I only listed down and explained my complaints. Relax and enjoy the show without getting too carried away by opinions of other viewers.

Don't know why you even started writing your first post then?
I just posted some counter"arguments" (more like offering a different "view") as to why he acts the way he does and about the stuff you had trouble understanding.
If I'm not supposed to, why even bother adding "?" and not just say "I would've prefered if this story was different because I like serious stories with serious characters that are like me / or the person I have in mind"
Not much I could've done then, right?
And then there is the issue I have with you picking things apart because they aren't the way you *believe* they should be - like that "gamers/shut ins" do nothing but gaming and hate sports and working out. I'm just saying that's not how it is and thought you'd start to realize that you were extremely biased.
I had absolutely no problem believing that he worked out... maybe because I actually know alot of people working out in their free time and I was actually glad about the fact that he did, because it always bothered me that every "Nerd"-MC is a freaking low life that can't handle physical shit just because he likes to play videogames.
