See allAre There No Male-Oriented Novels with Great Brotherhood, Plenty of Scenes, Little Filler, and No Idiotic Characters?
I don't want formulaic infinite-flow stories, or anything too pretentious or drawn-out. Ideally, the protagonist should have a tight deadline to contend with. Any genre is fine.

The initial synopsis mentioned no fixed romantic pairings, so I assumed it was a harem novel and didn't read it. Later, I saw the author say it was an ensemble piece without romantic pairings, so I gave it a try. It's a rare first-person narrative among Tomato's works. The main character is great with everyone, but if you don't like the idea that the main character has an ex-girlfriend, don't read it. For those who don't mind this, it's also a very enjoyable read.
The main character is great, and he has a somewhat endearing ex-girlfriend (I prefer GB). His relationships with other supporting characters are also very engaging (like the scenes of them wrapping their arms around each other's waists and wrists, then suddenly getting close to each other's faces).
It's visually appealing, but requires some thought. Sometimes I habitually read quickly, only to silently go back after two or three pages... If I'm not paying attention, it feels like the words just slip through my mind. But it's visually appealing, and yes, that's right. It's so good, I'm going to cry if you don't update soon! The writing is amazing, even in first-person perspective... Please update one more chapter, consider it feeding the chickens, hehehe 😭😭
Minor spoilers ahead: One star for the first-person narrative; one star for the world-building and character design—the character designs aren't particularly novel, but the brooding, reserved protagonist is a rare find, which I like; one star for the script and plot—very smooth, and the atmosphere is well-developed; one star for the male lead's ex-girlfriend, Nan Nan—their relationship is so…
The protagonist is an observer, a witness to everything, detached from the story yet bearing witness through its very existence. Deep within a gloomy forest lies a decaying village, worshipping a "deer god" and offering it a "quiet" bride. Passersby carry a lightly draped sedan chair to the altar—the altar of the "god."
It's great, and very immersive. I even put my feet under the covers several times while watching it late at night 😄.
The male lead is a good nanny.
I read a bit elsewhere and specifically came here to follow the story. The male lead is just so great; he has great chemistry with everyone, especially the female characters. Every level is unexpected (some require careful reading, otherwise you might miss something). The final boss is pretty much what the title suggests—too villainous. Some levels are quite scary; I was secretly pulling my feet back under the covers while reading late at night.
This is a truly excellent book. Although I'm only reviewing it now, I actually started reading it 10086 years ago. Later, when the author's updates became increasingly slow, I stopped reading, but I didn't expect it to still be updated. The protagonist's character is very interesting; the time he inexplicably inserted a public service announcement to attract readers was genuinely hilarious.
This book is absolutely amazing! 😳 (Words don't do it justice) The plot twists and turns, and Xiao Ke is so great! 😳 Xiao Ke has an ex-girlfriend, but his GB (Boys' Love) persona is also incredibly sweet, and he's great with everyone! 😳 And then there's Xiao Ke's system, broccoli! 🥦 Their dialogues sometimes have a touch of humor.
