I love araragi from monogatari series, he's one of my favorite characters in the show. He's definitely got some of several of those traits, but i wouldnt say he fully embodies any of them. As is usual with Nisioisin's writing, the tropes are played in a way that is comedic but also generally consistent with the character and indicative of his deeper thought processes
You missed the doofy oyaji type and the Go Nagai-style hotblooded edgelord.

Out of the top of my head i really enjoyed one of the bishounen from some isekai, self-proclaimed villainess or something. Although im fairly sure he is 3 of these plus a shameless Gary stu he is a very funny character and its fun to see how he interacts with the protagonist.
I hope you enjoy the story. It's honestly not too long, only 12 chapters. It's a shame that some stuff was cut out due to the author being on a strict time schedule, but I still think it turned out really good despite that.
