My issue with Nagatoro's writing is that the characters, specifically Senpai (Hayato?), are retarded and don't respect their own agency.

It's retarded even by romcom standards. The way it's written makes it seem like if things had been just a little different Senpai would choose to die alone because he didn't rank top in his art class.
