For women, men are "the opposite sex they almost never have a chance to meet in life."
Since childhood, they have only been surrounded by women, and their knowledge of men comes only from TV or the internet. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a woman to react as if she has spotted a celebrity when she actually sees a man in person.
Values regarding romance are also vastly different from the modern world.
The idea that "if you wait, a man will talk to you" is completely obsolete. It is common sense for women to proactively approach a man they are interested in. Confessions of love, asking for dates, and exchanging contact information are all typically initiated by women.
It is also normal for multiple women to have feelings for the same man, so there is little resistance to the situation of "the man I like is also being pursued by other women."
Furthermore, the standards for a man's appearance are quite low. What matters to women is not his facial features, but "that he is a man," "that he treats me kindly," and "that he shows interest in me."
Therefore, even if the protagonist himself thinks he is ordinary, he is still a perfectly viable romantic interest for the women.
Moreover, in this world, the very experience of receiving affection from a man is extremely rare.
There are women who will cherish a casual comment like "Your hairstyle is cute today" from the protagonist for days on end.
What might be an ordinary male-female relationship for a man can become the greatest romantic event of a woman's life.
-- This difference in emotional temperature between men and women is a perfectly normal part of everyday life in this world.
