    Look at this! The male protagonist is rational and well-planned, excelling in both sports and academics. Without any special system, he achieves excellent physical fitness and grades through scientific training, which is quite educational. It's more comfortable to read than typical male-oriented novels, and it's rare to find one that doesn't force in female characters or suggestive themes.
