    The first book was a huge hit! The beginning might seem a bit drawn out, but that's actually the author building up the characters; it gets really good later on. Currently, is it a multi-female lead story? Maybe it's about romantic rivalry; I think it's more of a multi-female lead story. The second book has a bit of a pretentious, artsy vibe (not sure if that counts), but the content is okay. It's a single-female lead story, and the female lead is very cute.

    In this book, the protagonist is a complete nobody, definitely not the typical cheesy, gentle male lead. He's average-looking, but absolutely aloof. He neither fawns nor torments women. When faced with unreasonable women, he strikes hard, but they become more clingy like mochi the more he hits them. There are also many protagonists from the original world with harems, and the protagonist in those stories also strikes hard. This subversion of tropes is what makes this book truly amazing.

    They're all pretty good, especially the first one, even though it's finished. It has a Japanese light novel feel to it.

    This is the first romance novel I've read in nearly two days straight, with 300 chapters flying by in a flash, and it's definitely worth it. Although it's not a pure romance with a single female lead, I'm more looking forward to the harem ending—unlike older harem manga (such as Itsuka Shido and Yukinari Rito) which are just about jealousy and dramatic conflicts, it's more like a mutual redemption: Wang Chongsheng redeems four people, and the four people also redeem him. The psychological descriptions and character portrayals are very successful, and the five characters' changes in mindset are natural and not abrupt. The setting of the deduction notebook (golden finger) is appropriate, and its upgrades and exits are reasonable, even without explaining the causes and consequences. In short, it's worth reading! It's nearing completion, with no major flaws throughout, and the plot gradually improves after some twists and turns. Just like the title suggests, it's a true "redemption." Highly recommended!
