I personally liked this entire arc. Unless fights have actual consequences anymore, I basically ignore them. To many FFs just want to get to the fights and ignore the world building or character development. We know this is a harem FF (you’ve kind of hinted at it at least, something to do with being tagged as a harem fic), and we can’t just hop in with “MC has a big D, all the ladies panties start dropping”. We need build up for relationship. Saving Kurenai is a perfect example. You set up why he was nearby. Luck of the draw saved her basically.
