Synopsis

[Serious warning: The temple incident is included, with no whitewashing or excuses. There is theft of money, not glorified or treated as a misunderstanding. Please don’t read if this bothers you.]

[This is not a Zenitsu-friendly story. Or rather, the brothers only reach a peaceful relationship much later (?). Please don’t read if you expect the story to be nice to Zenitsu.]

[The protagonist’s views do not represent the author’s. If that really bothers you, please don’t read.]

If someone asked Kaigaku what he wanted most, what would he say?

Kaigaku would say, “I want to live.”

If he had already managed that, what would he want next?

To live a little better.

As long as he was alive,

he wanted to live well.

[The above will not appear in the main story.]

[The outline is complete. No delays or hiatuses.]

[Demon Slayer, Kaigaku]

Cover artist: Xiangsi (thanks to the artist for taking the commission)

A story that does its best to save everyone from the chopping block. All nine Hashira survive.

Happy ending.

The protagonist has cheats: a rebirth cheat early on and a demonification cheat later. (How can you get through the Infinity Castle arc without a cheat and have nobody die, right?)

(Also, demon Kaigaku is so good. If you know, you know.)

No romance, but plenty of platonic bonds. The existing canon pairings are acknowledged but don’t get much description. The GiyuShino pairing will develop much later.

Synopsis revised: Added details based on the current plot. There’s a strong platonic bond between Sabito and Kaigaku. The GiyuShino pairing content is very low, but not zero.

This is the book that best matches my image of the character... I've always loved the character Kaigaku. I think his character is really satisfying—selfish, opportunistic, narrow-minded, and twisted. He's someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. This kind of character is perfect for being suppressed, for watching him struggle, for watching him barely survive.

The character development and plot arrangement are quite good, relatively close to the original work and reasonable. There are no characters who completely steal the spotlight from others, and the characters' personalities are further explored based on the original work. Nice! The only downside is that I started writing late and didn't accumulate many chapters.

Kaigaku's language, actions, and motivations are exactly like those in the original novel. The author must have carefully considered everything. The novel is high-quality and prolific. I declare that all Kaigaku fans must read it (crawling in the shadows). It's delicious and visually appealing. I love it so much!!

They tied! That was amazing! The teacher is truly incredible! Kaigaku's character is very well-developed! Yes! Even if he could do it all over again, Kaigaku wouldn't deny his past self; he just wants to live on. His actions are also very consistent with the character; there's no sudden change.

This book is exceptionally well-written. The author perfectly captures the protagonist's inner turmoil, from his jealousy of his talented but lazy junior brother to his frustration with his master's favoritism towards the lively and tearful Zenitsu, and even his fear of dying young after developing demonic markings.

This is the only Kaigaku fanfic I've found that I'm truly satisfied with. The author meticulously depicts the changes in Kaigaku's mindset without altering his fundamental nature. Furthermore, the plot is well-structured, the writing is excellent, and the reader is highly immersive. While reading, you can completely understand why Kaigaku becomes better and more cheerful.

Surprisingly good... I really like that it doesn't deny his essence or erase his personality... Reading it feels like Kaigaku has truly been reborn into the human world. The writing is also quite good. I originally just wanted to read it casually, but I actually stayed up until now...

This is truly well-written. At first, I was hesitant to read the synopsis because the temple scenes made me feel ashamed and embarrassed, like I was afraid of being caught doing something wrong. It's exceptionally well-written, without any embellishment. Initially, I only thought of Kaigaku as a jerk, but after reading this, my feelings completely changed; I was totally captivated.

The characters are very well-reproduced. It seems the author did research on their personalities, ensuring accuracy. The writing is smooth, the plot is logical, and the power levels are reasonable. I'd like to ask the author! I've read the original work several times. How do you write this kind of fan fiction?

"Give Me a Choice" is the reason I downloaded Tomato, and it's also the first Kaigaku fanfiction I read. The author has a deep understanding of Kaigaku and is able to express all the emotions with precise words. I truly, truly admire him. The two chapters that impressed me most were Chapter 113 (Encountering a Ghost at the Temple).
