Lucifer

I hope every kid needs to understand how shallow written ayanokoji is, he's not deep, mysterious, have shallow goals, and when you read LN if you posses brains then you will understand how Worst kinugasa the author of COTE is. Let me explain how stupid fandom are when they say ayanokoji is "Machiavellian" Machiavelli’s actual rule:

“It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.”

→ Ayanokoji? He is neither.

Nobody fears him. Nobody admires him. They just… comply because the author refuses to let anyone resist. That’s not fear or respect—that’s plot armor holding a gun at the narrative. Machiavelli:

“A prince must be both a lion and a fox.”

→ Ayanokoji is neither.

Lion? He has zero presence, zero threat, zero dominance.

Fox? He doesn’t outsmart anyone—he just wins because the author saysMachiavelli:

“To command, one must know how to deceive.”

→ Koji doesn’t deceive. He doesn’t seduce, manipulate, threaten, bribe, break, corrupt, or control.

He just stands in a corner, says five monotone sentences a season, and everyone magically bends to him.

That’s not Machiavellian…

that’s a cheat code disguised as a personaMachiavelli:

“Men are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous…”

→ Real manipulators work with human flaws.

Koji never engages with greed, fear, ambition, ego, or power.

He doesn’t exploit psychology—he bypasses it with author blessings.

Calling him “Machiavellian” is like calling a calculator a supercomputer—

sure, it gives answers…

but only because someone pre-programmed them
