    The protagonist is ruthless, treating everyone as tools and knowing exactly what role to play in front of them. He uses these tools skillfully, which infuriates some readers. When a seemingly useless tool is carelessly broken by the protagonist, a large number of readers attack the author, forcing the author to repair it and later dedicate several hundred words to describing it (which is essentially just a plot device and doesn't appear much afterward; you can skip that part if you don't like it—it's only briefly mentioned on page 3). It's important to note that the protagonist isn't a harem character; the mention of such things is likely to cater to another reader's taste, but it only takes about 20-30 words, with the entire text mentioning it in less than 150 words. Therefore, readers who enjoy harem stories should avoid this novel. The protagonist focuses on his career and self-improvement throughout, with little emotional description. Readers who crave detail should also avoid this novel; it's purely a lighthearted read. Discerning readers and those who enjoy lesbian relationships should also refrain from reading this, as they'll likely come back to criticize it, making it rather pointless. Please don't delve too deeply into the details; focus your attention on the main text. Avoid being overly critical or judgmental. I wish all readers can find a book that suits their taste. Summary of key features: ruthless protagonist, no female lead, powerful background, strong ambition (i. E., Strong execution skills), and a gender-equal approach (which easily attracts criticism).
