    If you're tired of stories about rebirth, cheat codes, and domineering CEOs spoiling their wives, try "I'm Very Well-behaved, Please Don't Hurt Me." It features the most realistic workplace exploitation, the most naked human calculation, and the most down-to-earth, everyday love (like the chubby girl and her roast duck boyfriend). The female protagonist doesn't have any special abilities; she only has the tenacity to get back up after being knocked down time and time again.
