I was there when that guy rambled on and on at Shiu-senpai’s signing event.
I was there when that guy and my classmate Eriri fooled around in private.
I was there when that guy ran into his destined heroine on the slope.
He said he had memories of the future but didn’t know my name, and he wanted me to help him find his future wife. But I wanted to ask him something too.
Who are you, anyway?
The real protagonist: surrounded by beautiful girls, not great at studying but backed by powerful people, with a bright future ahead.
The fake protagonist: never had a girlfriend, from childhood to adulthood; a nobody in class; his unrelated older sister is hostile toward him; unless he studies hard, he won’t get into a good university; and he has no future prospects.

Hoshimi Haru: “Be yourself, then bear the price you paid to become your true self.”
Even a background character without a protagonist’s script (sort of) can turn things around!
Related characters: Mob Girl, Rascal Does Not Dream, Kaguya-sama, Oregairu. Original protagonist, a new idea, a new story. No female lead is given away. One female lead, plus parallel worldlines. Harem fans, stay away.

𓀃𓀅𓀇 O author, may your spirit return! Beacon fires blaze in the South Sea, black armor obscures the sky. Thunder chariots cleave the vast ocean, light chases the comet's tail! 𓀌𓀎𓀠 O author, may your spirit return! Looking back from the icy peaks, the golden clapper and frosty moon. Shooting the Heavenly Wolf in the northern wilderness, the arrow's whistle echoes like a lament! 𓀋𓀌𓀎 O author, may your spirit return! The western sands surge and murmur, bronze goblets burn in the night. Treading on tortoise shells, I sing the steps of Yu, the star map in my palm! 𓀋𓀠𓀤 O author, may your spirit return! Looking eastward, the Fusang tree burns brightly, a red crow carrying a jade pendant. The remnants of the nine suns are carved into a chariot, and Xihe (the sun goddess) bestows the reins! 𓀥𓀫𓀃𓀅𓀇𓀋𓀌 O soul, return! Forge weapons and armor into bells and sacrificial vessels! O soul, return! May your burial place yield abundant harvests!
