As far as I read in the manga of Bakarina, Katarina is indeed too stupid to understand romantic love towards her in the slightest. It's kind of a pain lol
Yeah it's fine if she thinks they like her as a friend but if she outright ignores a passionate confession said straight (and some of them not straight at all :)) ) to her face then I feel like is not worth getting excited before the real ending, so after the student council arc I Dropped the manga, it was a great "ending" and I'm not interested in what comes next.
Now, "ignoring" is not the right word... She just spurs things like "hahahahaha when the harem starts fighting for her or "Welp I don't get it but :D :D :D let's go get my tomatoes" so it gets weird after a while.
The author originally ended the story in the WN after chapter 22 of the manga. So you can see what the ending was supposed to entail. After it was picked up as a LN the plot was stretched out, so everything post chapter 22 is that new territory that wasn't supposed to happen. Perhaps the friendship ending was indeed what the story was going for or it was suppsoed to be a lot more conclusive and was then altered to make a continuation possible.
Whichever it may be, the author's way of elongating it isn't very appealing to me either. The characters are entertaining enough to continue reading, but until it actually truly ends I'd not get my hopes up for Bakarina to leave her personal black hole. Harems are not my thing, but the main appeal of this one is that it's a bi-harem, which is rarer than any other and that Katarina is using Otome game knowledge to survive. If both aspects are halted, it becomes less interesting.
