not to be contrarian and showing my whole anti-ouma ass here but i think a lot of ppl misinterpret ouma as a character in favor of making him their uwu soft boy seme that did nothing wrong.
ouma is not uncomfortable with lying to the group. ouma does not lie in order to help everyone around him (at least, not until around the end of chapter 4 going into chapter 5). ouma's lying is not meant to be a benefit to anyone else. ouma does not lie for noble reasons.
ouma is lying in order to stay alive. he is lying so that he can always have a leg up on everybody else. he lies so that he can win the game. he tells lies specifically for his own benefit, even if it costs everyone else their lives. and sometimes, he lies simply because he sees it as a fun distraction and a way to confuse everyone.
there is no nobler strategy for ouma when he lies to people. he's not lying so that he can save everyone else. he's not lying because he's scared for the others.
kokichi ouma lies because he's scared for himself and himself alone.
