Synopsis

[Light Novel, Multiple Heroines]

Bai Tong, twenty-five years old, recently discovered that his younger sister had become a magical girl.

Magical girls fought against Fallen Beasts, and people often admired and worshipped them. But they usually had to face mortal danger alone.

They could even end up losing their heads.

Faced with that possibility, Bai Tong had to consider what to do next.

Twelve years ago, his parents were killed by a Fallen Beast. He became a magical girl and spent years away from home hunting Fallen Beasts, gradually growing estranged from his sister.

What had he become the top-ranked magical girl for?

After saving the world, Bai Tong realized he had neglected the only family he had left. He chose to retire in an attempt to make amends.

Now he and his sister were locked in a cold war.

Perhaps, eight years after retiring, Bai Tong needed to reclaim his identity.

Please, this is so good! Chihiro and Nishikawa are truly breathtaking. Can you save the person you care about most on a crashing plane? The answer is: I can. To see such a chuunibyou book at my age, to receive guidance from the Shadow King while walking in the shadows—this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. Military Princess-sama, Shirogane-sama.

New book support! The author's writing is excellent, the plot is intricate, and it seems like they're back to writing urban novels again [eye roll]. Although there are only 15 chapters so far, the future looks promising. [You should think about it]

A pretty good book. The plot is a bit cliché, but still engaging. I thought I'd found a great book, but then I saw the author is Bai Duchuan 😂. Oh no 😱 It's going to be abandoned again (hurry up and update "Chief Shadow"!). Let's all keep it up and not let this book be abandoned!

Who says chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) isn't entertaining? Isn't "The King of Scoundrels" (a popular Chinese web novel) perfect enough for chuunibyou? Isn't "Urban Night Battle Magical Boy" (a popular Chinese web novel) chuunibyou enough? Isn't "Dragon Raja" chuunibyou enough? As long as it's moderate and not awkward, it's fine.

It's quite interesting. The concept of power is divided into materialistic and idealistic categories. However, upon closer analysis, it's essentially magic influenced by personal emotions or state of mind; domains are like realms or formations. Fallen beasts are magical beasts, the spirits of cursed beings. In essence, it's magic with a different name, just a different form of expression.

"This book is truly excellent. If family is the only thing that matters, then one's heart is willing to give everything. The male protagonist, Bai Tong, is a mature and outstanding person. He knows what he wants, what he loves, and what his responsibilities are.

Currently, this is a very rare work featuring a boy transforming into a magical girl while retaining his male form. The author's world-building is meticulous, the character relationships are clear, and their actions are logical. The protagonist also avoids the clichéd, awkward cognitive impairment, making it a very enjoyable read. One more thing: there's no system, no cheat codes.
