My opinion on Rito is that, mostly this is gonan be like a review on his character from start to now, though he isn't the best MC for a harem-ecchi series, that doesn't mean he's the worst.

Back then, just the thought of seeing a girl wearing a bikini or any sort of cute outfit would mostly leave him fainting, and not only that, make him lose his ability to "talk" properly, a comic relief that we can still see today. Rito wasn't really the "greatest guy" he was than he is now. He was practically shy and nervous around women and didn't even have the right amount of guts to speak to other girls too, moreover and more specifically to Haruna. That all changed when he met Lala; his character began to develop since after their first meeting.

It was because of Lala that he began to develop a strong sense of "courage" to speak around other girls, and mostly to Haruna as well. He also didn't faint whenever he saw a girl wearing a bikini, being partly or completely naked as well (though he does blush and that's reasonable enough to understand why). He lost that trait of his for a better one. Rito's actually a lot more brave than he was back then, from trying to save Haruna from Ghi Bree, going to planet Mistletoe to retrieve a cure for Celine to standing up and temporarily going against his own morals as an innocent teenage boy to save Yami from her Darkness transformation by purposely doing "ecchi" things to her to make her go back to being her original self.

To me and others, that's not a very useless MC. Though he does act like this, as Yui herself already said, he is pathetic yet reliable, and that's quite true, since some of the characters have relied on him throughout most of every single "trouble" they've all been in. Calling him a "useless main character" without giving enough evidences that he truly is useless is quite an idiotic opinion and assumption to give out to him. Saying that "he doesn't deserve" the girls that all have feelings for him is also stupid. Because as evidences go so far as of now, it's because of his kind personality and protectiveness towards his friends that has attracted them towards him, not to mention the many accidental "ecchi" things he's done to a few of them before. Not only that, try reading his personality section and then go back to the old chapters and episodes of both the manga and anime series, and carefully observe him. Understand his character build from start to now.

If you're gonna call him out for being useless and that he needs to "nut up, zip out his pants and start performing intercourse" upon the next time he falls on top of a girl or vice versa. Yes, he doesn't have to be perverted to do these, but that doesn't he has to do it on purpose. He has self-restraint and respect towards women, along that he's righteous. If that isn't enough, perhaps you should buy the rights from Hasemi and Kentaro if you feel as though your own thought of what Rito's character should be is what he should really be. Go ahead and illustrate and write him as you wish once you've done so, but since you haven't, all you can do is just sit back and carefully observe how his character develops from every single chapter and episode of the series, because your own dim-lighted depth perception is quite too blurred because as I assume it to be, you're mostly fixated on the "ecchi" than the character builds, and that's why most of you tend to speak out your "half-baked" and rotten opinions about the MC who's quite the opposite of your negative choices of an opinion.

I'll admit that I've only been following the series for almost two years now, but that's enough for me to truly understand the story and the characters the way they're written and illustrated as. If you find this to be the stark contrast of what you see him and the others as, feel free to reply back; Indulge yourself to come up with a pretty good set of proof and reasons as to how Rito Yuuki, the main protagonist of the To Love-Ru and To Love-Ru Darkness series, is the "worst, immature, abnormal, useless and lamest" MC ever in a harem-eechi type series. I'd likely enjoy all of your frustrations as to how much I've proven you wrong so far already ;)
