I mean, it has to be Kazuya from Rent a Girlfriend, right? I haven’t watched the anime, but if it is even remotely similar to the manga, it is definitely Kazuya.
I haven’t seen Darling in the Franxx, so I can’t personally speak to how bad Hiro is.
Forgetting about Kazuya is like winning the game. As soon as you remember he exists, you lose.
It blows my mind that he is the main character of a wildly successful series. I used to read the manga as it came out because it was so much fun to make fun of it with the rest of the manga subreddit. However, as the series kept going, and going, and going, it stopped becoming fun any more. Now, if you were to check the subreddit, the Rent a GF chapter threads basically languish in obscurity because it isn’t even fun to make fun of anymore; it’s just sad.
I had that exact same experience. There was a while there when it was fun to make fun of the series, but it’s not even that any more. It’s just awful.
I think the central problem is that the setup was supposed to be that the characters were other than they appeared to be - that she was going to turn out to not be a shallow, self-absorbed slut and he was going to turn out to not be a pathetic creep, but then they both turned out to actually be exactly and only what they initially appeared to be.

Oh fuck how could i ever forget about him. I’m sorry Hiro.
