It's not "he looks like every other ecchi harem anime protagonist", it's that there's a specific look that ecchi harem anime protagonists have, and Yuuri's design has a lot in common with it. Straight dark hair with bangs over the face, glasses, dark eyes, dorky-looking, every major character has actual unique features except for the protagonist... in the ecchi harem anime it's to make it easier for the viewer to self-insert as the protagonist, so he's made as unobtrusively generically nerdy-Japanese-young-man as possible, because that's the target audience.

Yuuri is also supposed to look average and dorky, for different reasons. However, that doesn't change the fact that the end result still looks like every ecchi harem anime protagonist.

Maybe you should stop watching so many shitty ecchi anime then.

weirdly enough you don't need to have watched shitty ecchi anime to know what they look like!

I guess if that's the connection you make, that's the connection you make. But I disagree Yuri doesn't have "unique features" compared to the rest of the cast? And it also seems to me like dismissing every anime with a dorky looking protagonist is going to make you potentially miss out on a lot of gems, because dorky looking characters definitely exist outside of ecchi harem.
