Instead of reading novels, you might as well watch a comedy anime.

I Want Big Romantic Drama! Rivers of Blood! A Twisted Love Triangle!
Looking for books similar to "I Only Make Money, Not Love: I'm the Best Professional Devoted Fool!" I want something like "I Transmigrated as a Blonde Delinquent and Decided to Stay Away from the Original Character", where the protagonist has no intention of getting together with any female characters, but things keep happening by sheer coincidence...
A World of National Destiny and the Supernatural
Looking for something similar to The Haunted House.

The Ultimate Yandere Novel in Your Eyes
Are High School Romance Novels No Longer Popular?
These days, urban and campus novels all give the protagonist some kind of System. His ex cheats on him, then a gorgeous woman pursues him, and after plenty of face-slapping, he ends up ruling the world and building a harem. Do simple coming-of-age campus stories with one female lead and no System just have no market anymore?
Looking for a Single-Female-Lead Masterpiece, Nothing Below 9.0
Nowadays, single-love-interest stories either aren’t sweet or are just so-so. I want something that really stands out, preferably with a wild premise.
Love Rivals + Multiple Female Leads + High Ratings

The Harem Is Empty, Recommendations Please
Looking for Light Novels with Love Triangles and Romantic Rivalries, Like Su Cheng and Watanabe Toru

Recommend Books with Principled Protagonists. A Little Too Compassionate Is Fine
Modern novels always go out of their way to avoid making the protagonist a saint, preferring to portray them as petty or villainous. I want to read about a protagonist who is chivalrous and courageous, clearly distinguishes good from evil, understands right from wrong, and helps others within their means.
Come On! Bury Me in Fine Prose
Looking for books like The Gods' Fool. I'm tired of Ten Days, finished God of Drama, and Slaying the Gods is old news. Tomato Novel has no great books left.
Highly Rated: My Harem Is Empty
Looking for Multiple Heroines, With Well-Developed Romance, Ideally Just Two or Three Heroines
A Masterpiece Can Never Be Buried; It Simply Blooms Like a Lotus in the Mud
Looking for books like "The Rogue Imperial Tutor". Books are like the world: grass born by the shore can keep itself above vulgarity, but a lotus growing in the mud can also bloom brilliantly, far more beautiful and splendid than grass. Bring out your masterpieces, the hidden gems that have been overlooked.

At first, I read the comments saying that chapters after 70 were really toxic, so I came here specifically to see just how toxic they were. Well…🤔 I personally found that part rather absurd and funny. But as I kept reading, it really became captivating. The author's writing style is getting better and better. Aside from a pointless filler section, the rest is quite well-written.
I persevered and finished reading it. My initial impression of the novel is that it's well-written. The male protagonist is a male otaku who loves anime and manga. There are currently four female characters (officially romanceable) who have appeared, each with a distinct personality, and there should be more than four in the end.
Hmm, it's a readable novel. The characters are well-developed, and the romance is decent. However, the system's behavior is quite annoying, and it seems to rely too much on its actions to advance the plot. The system's behavior is also somewhat nauseating, so sometimes the reading experience isn't great.
Spoiler alert!!! Opinions vary, and it's undeniable that the early part of the work had some flaws 🐳 (for example, the scene where the male lead breaks down; it's clear the author intended to portray him as somewhat insecure, self-destructive, and kind, but it went too far 😮💨). However, aside from the early stages, there aren't any major problems.
Fantastic! Excellent! The character descriptions are incredibly detailed, and the pacing is just right, not slow. The male lead's transformation is portrayed with great subtlety and vividness. Highly recommended!
Well, I think this is a book with obvious strengths and weaknesses. The novel setting of the self-destructing system, the touching emotional scenes, and the male protagonist's growth are all noteworthy. The story begins with the system, but as you read through more of the content, the system becomes clearer; it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment novel.
It has a few minor flaws, but they don't detract from its overall excellence. The protagonist has principles and works hard. Although it's a system novel, I acknowledge the protagonist's efforts and his character suits my taste. The main character isn't a eunuch, and he gets to eat most of the food later on. There's no deceptive marketing or disgusting stuff like stock speculation, which is great.
It's so good! So good!!! I stayed up all night reading it. I've been reading novels for over 10 years, and this book is totally my cup of tea. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's just so good. Once I started reading, I was hooked and stayed up all night. I haven't had a novel that captivated me in years.
In conclusion: It's a harem novel with heavy anime/manga elements, a hatchet simulator, a slow start but a strong finish, slightly toxic but not overly so, and features a male lead who starts weak but grows stronger. Overall, it's a harem novel that gets better gradually and gets very sweet in the later stages.
It's really well-written, the kind of story that gets better the more you read. The characters are fantasticly developed, and the romance is quite good. It's a top-tier work among harem novels. The biggest problem with harem novels is the stereotypical female lead, and with so many, readers can only remember a few distinctive ones. Some female leads even disappear later on.
