Tachibana Sheri's Melancholy: Witch Trial

It took me three days to read through all 620,000 words so far; it's absolutely divine. It's even free (if it's so well-written and free, how are those paid scumbags supposed to survive?), So fans of demon judge male protagonist stories definitely shouldn't miss it. (The following contains minor spoilers, proceed with caution) First of all, the character design in *The Judgement* is very appealing. The author didn't confine themselves to the original battle royale setting but instead transplanted it into a school setting, and choosing Kyon as the male lead was a brilliant move. Kyon's personality is inherently likable, and the author's descriptions and interactions with the original characters in *The Judgement* feel completely natural, making it easy for readers to immerse themselves in the story. I've always felt that the male lead's character design is more crucial to the overall quality of a work than the female leads' descriptions, and this book is impeccable in this regard. As for the female leads, Tachibana Sherry initially reminded me of Haruhi Suzumiya, which was quite a strong feeling of déjà vu while reading, but it improved a lot later on. The author made some reasonable developments based on Sherry's character design, which might differ slightly from the original, but the essence remains similar. Combined with the author's descriptions, I liked Sherry even more in this book. Emma the puppy was very well-reproduced, I think; the Kurobe's plot hasn't fully unfolded yet, but the tone is basically fine; An An is also good, you can tell the author... The author put a lot of effort into setting her up so that she could be seamlessly integrated into the main group; our Hannah is absolutely divine, I love her so much. The only slight regret is that her playful interactions with Sherry are gone, but that serves the plot, so there's nothing we can do about it; as for the remaining Noah, Hiro, and Milia, they haven't had their individual chapters yet, so I won't comment on them yet, but they're generally fine. I can say that the author respected the original settings while also bringing them into school life, and the scenes with Kyon felt completely natural, which is really good.

It's already at 200,000 views, written from a first-person perspective, with a strong Japanese light novel feel. So far, there are no major flaws or overly literary elements, and the characters aren't out of character (the original work's somber and tragic background has been adjusted to a slice-of-life story, which I think is fine). The overall atmosphere is light and relaxed, making it a hidden gem worth checking out.

This is the question thread, or the setting thread. If you have any questions about the setting, you can ask them here, and the author will reply to each one. One more thing: this story is written out of love, so I hope for more interaction. I've already roughly planned out how to write the first 200,000 words, and even if no one reads it, I'll at least finish writing it that far. I just really hope someone will read it. As long as someone is still reading, I will definitely keep writing. #(Crying)

So far, who have you confirmed your relationship with?

Is it possible to update five times a day for free fanfiction? Hagi, you're incredibly talented.

Kyon is the real god in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, isn't he? Experts analyze that the events in Haruhi Suzumiya were actually caused by Kyon's power.

Free, well-written, and updated frequently. This novel will be a major predecessor in the Hedgehog Cat fanfiction genre. When will Ah Xu realize the feelings between An An and Emma? Looking forward to it!

The volume about Hannah's confession is worth reading repeatedly. At least I've read it many times in the past few days. It's so high-quality that it feels like it could be published as a short sweet novel with some additional settings. In short, no amount of praise is enough. If new readers come to read this later, I recommend reading the previous content together with this volume; it will make the reading experience much more comfortable.

After reading a dozen or so chapters, I feel like Tachibana Sherry's writing style is similar to Haruhi Suzumiya; the déjà vu is too strong.
