How I Became a Max-Level Expert in Gensokyo After Losing My Memory

When Ling Xuan wakes up, he finds himself not in the soft bed at home, but crashing through the donation box at Hakurei Shrine, face-to-face with the murderous glare of Reimu, a shrine maiden who can barely make ends meet! He starts off owing a huge debt and is forced to sign a "contract of servitude," becoming an unpaid handyman at the shrine. Ling Xuan's life in Gensokyo seems to begin on the highest difficulty setting.

But he soon realizes there's something off about this world. A sneeze sends the attacking Kedama flying. The vampire young lady's fearsome attacks are less impressive than red tea made with a bowl of plain water. The perfectly graceful maid chief keeps having accidents whenever he's around... He only wants to work an ordinary job, pay off his debt, and crack jokes to survive, but he keeps solving incidents in all sorts of absurd ways, turning everyone's worldview upside down and, along the way, winning the hearts of a whole host of girls.

However, as powerful figures like Yukari Yakumo turn their searching gazes toward him, an ancient crisis quietly stirs back to life, and Ling Xuan's true identity, one even he has no idea about, gradually comes to light. When the final truth is revealed, this wisecracking guy who only wanted to lie flat and live off a woman discovers that he somehow got a max-level expert's trial pass?!
