Turn It Around! The Losing Heroine!

Hilarious! In the eighth volume of the original novel, the Eighth Prince tries to make the male lead jealous by holding hands with another man in front of him, but the male lead is more worried about the rumors affecting that man's reputation. The Eighth Prince's actions are outrageous; no wonder he can't get a childhood sweetheart.

Regardless of other factors, the author at least did a good job of portraying the female lead in 8k. The original work's depiction of 8k was terrible; she felt like an ordinary, highly-rated, love-obsessed character, even somewhat promiscuous. Her seemingly impressive two-month speedrun was actually just a case of a pure, innocent girl giving herself to a complete old pervert, giving the impression that she would have given herself to anyone else, even if it wasn't Kusabe initially. Kusabe's original description was also weak; compared to Lingye and the club president, he lacked any masculinity whatsoever, but exuded a strong "yellow-haired" vibe, making him extremely annoying. Pairing the female lead with him was purely the author's twisted sense of humor, brimming with malice. However, the author really brought out the character of 8k in this fanfiction. It wasn't all just a calculated move; the back-and-forth between him and Wen Shui made the character more well-rounded. In my opinion, it was more enjoyable to read than the original work.

I feel like Ju Jingyi is the kind of person who, if cheated on, would hide in a corner and cry, cursing "scumbag, scumbag, go, go die" 😋

Himegami Karen truly lives up to her name, 8k. Aside from Yoshiki, she has no equal. No wonder she easily beat up the eighth brother.

Bai Yu is a character with absolutely no likable qualities. I suspect that the original author ran out of ideas and wrote this character.

A passage I really, really like Shikiya-senpai walked along the sidewalk beside the road toward Ishizuki High School. The brief winter twilight was easily wiped away by the cold rain falling from the sky. The headlights of passing vehicles on the road illuminated the shadowy feet of Shiki-ya-senpai. I ran to catch up with her and walked alongside her. "How are you, senior? Um, where are you going?" "I want to... Go home..." Shikiya-senpai murmured in her usual listless, childlike tone. "Where does your home, senior? I'll walk you halfway there—" As if chasing the patter of rain, the rain intensified. I urged Shikiya-senpai, who was planning to continue walking, to go under the eaves of a nearby apartment building. Even though the sun hadn't set yet, the sky was already pitch black. I took a breath and looked at Shikiya-senpai standing to the side. Water droplets dripped from Shikiya-senpai's damp bangs and slid down her fair cheeks. I rummaged through my jacket pocket and noticed that I had forgotten my handkerchief somewhere. In a critical moment, I'm of no use, just like I am normally. "It's still raining. I'm going to find a place to buy an umbrella. Could you wait here for a bit, senior?" "It's okay... I called... A taxi." Shikiya-senpai stared blankly at her phone screen, which was wet with rain. The face illuminated by the backlight of the phone screen looked paler than usual. "Are you cold, senior?" "…Don't know." Shikiya-senpai murmured weakly. Has her health deteriorated to the point where she can't even tell if she's cold? Just as I was worrying about this— "I don't understand... What Senior from the Ancient Capital is talking about." She whispered even weaker. "Uh, that person sometimes doesn't care much about what other people think, so please don't mind it too much." "Is that so?" Shiki-ya-senpai used her fingertips to pick up a strand of bangs that was stuck to her forehead and tilted her head. "Am I... Causing you a lot of trouble...?" "Huh? No, that's not true. Besides, we're the ones who need your help this time." I handed over the tissues I found in my pocket. "Thank you... You're so kind." Shikiya-senpai took out a tissue and wiped her wet cheeks. "My sister put it in for me, so it wasn't exactly a kind gesture." A simple tissue can elicit a gentle comment, like something out of a romantic comedy. As I was thinking this, Shikiya-senpai's fingertips lightly touched mine. "Then... Just be gentle with me right now." Huh? This means— As I froze, my fingertips were touched again. Does she mean... She wants me to hold her hand?

Chapter 3 felt a bit padded at first, but then I realized it wasn't that the writing was bad; it was just that the updates were slow, causing the plot to feel disjointed.
