>most of romcom MC are beta because of self-insert
>even when in a relationship and girl being assertive towards MC, he still beta
Why are they like this? Would it make sense for self-insert/wishful fulfilment to get lovely dovey and intimate with the girl, why are mangaka keep holding MC down?

it's very telling that nips never complain about beta MCs
why would they? it'd be like getting mad at your own reflection in the mirror

Most romance MCs are not betas. They are usually unassertive but will explode into action to run after a girl when required and show moments of maximum appeal when the mood is right. Screaming about making her happy etc. the beta thing is literally just a meme.

They are "beta" only because they are meant to be bland.
If they made any choices, anon wouldn't be able to self insert.

Sprinting through the airport to say goodbye is not being assertive.
>and show moments of maximum appeal when the mood is right.
lol
lmao
when a girl throws herself at the MC and he pushes her away, that’s not “showing maximum appeal.” You’re delusional.

Seto isn't a self insert wish fulfillment, but a layerd character with reasons for being the way he is. If he instantly solved all his issues when he got together with Anjou, you would end up having a very boring post confession story.
Look at what happened with Bokuyaba, which only recently managed to generate a bit of interest again because it's, hopefully, going to address the only thing people still care about: underage sex
