Girls' Band: Orphan from the Start, but Toyokawa's Illegitimate Daughter

What you need to do now is quickly change the protagonist's name to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei, who is insecure

The darkness within the Toyokawa family goes like this: You have a sweet, cherished younger sister whom you've doted on your whole life. One day, a blond-haired lad steals her heart, claiming it's true love. Though you despise him, you ultimately swallow the humiliation for her happiness and let him marry into the family. Life had settled into a peaceful routine, watching their niece grow up to be obedient and clever. But who knew that years later, this delicate flower would fall into the hands of another blond-haired lad? Later, your sister passed away, and even your unfortunate niece died one after the other. Before their bodies were even cold, the father and son conspired to cause trouble, revealing that they already had an illegitimate daughter outside the mansion and wanted to bring her back. Only then did you realize that they had never genuinely married into the family, but had been lying in wait like a poisonous ivy for years, waiting for the Toyokawa family bloodline to die out so they could completely seize this century-old legacy. At this moment, you are like...

Another question is why I don't understand why the protagonist suddenly has to make visual novels (gal games) to earn money? What's the point of making visual novels when the protagonist's financial situation is so bad? And wasn't the protagonist only focused on studying before? Where did he get his visual novel experience? Frankly, wouldn't it be more profitable for the protagonist to take on song commissions, plagiarize novels, or anything else than making visual novels? What's the point of suddenly introducing Fate? If the protagonist wanted to make money by plagiarizing Fate, why not start with a pure novel like Kara no Kyoukai? Why start with visual novels?

Author, are you sure you haven't been marinated in the Blue-Faced Beast's flavor in this description and the protagonist's personality?

My impression: It's so troublesome. Heart knots are formed gradually, relationships develop slowly, and landmines are planted one by one. It's not that this book's pacing is too slow, it's that the updates are too slow. Following it day after day is exhausting. If it were faster, the reading experience would be terrible. If it continues like this, I feel the book's performance will only gradually decline, eventually triggering a plot point where the reader feels they have the will but not the strength.

Endless Shennong, come forth!!!

The biggest surprise and gimmick of this book is the protagonist's outrageous background.

The plot actually started to develop in a pretty good direction after the Night of the Black Knife. However, the protagonist's terrible personality remains unchanged, just like Lu Mingfei's. After reading all the updates, I immediately chose to nurture the book. Beware of Blue-faced Beast clones, okay? I'm afraid of being fed a lump of food.

What was that all about? The protagonist seems to be acting all humble towards Da Xiang and Mu Tou right now, especially towards Mu Tou. He's practically fawning over some random guy, only slightly less obsessive than that golden retriever's infatuation with Xiangzi. Stop it! If he keeps this groveling and fawning over Mu Tou and Xiangzi, he's going to turn into a total simp! #(Crying)
