   It's really good! Completely all-male, the multiple identities are so satisfying—yes, that's how they're revealed! The main characters are strong and beautiful, and each identity is vividly portrayed. But please don't read the comments in chapter 304! Some readers are shipping two characters as a couple, but the author has stated it's just friendship, no side couples! I'm quite strict about all-male stories, but this one is truly excellent. Actually, I really think the two characters in chapter 304 are just friends; they both really like Xiao Yuanyuan. Just don't read the comments, everyone! Finally, author oioi! The updates are a bit too few—not enough for me! By the way, this is my first long review on Tomato! Hope everyone will check it out!

   I love Ono's detached, contemplative view of the world, yet he is also moved by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This isn't a contradiction, but rather the vibrant scenery along his journey adds a touch of the mundane to Ono's character, making him feel more real and relatable.

   I've read up to chapter 158 so far. This book has many strengths, especially in its characterization of the protagonist. You can see his gentleness, thoughtfulness, kindness, and many other admirable qualities. It's perfectly normal for such a protagonist to be loved and admired. Therefore, I think the author has done an excellent job in character development. The weaknesses are also obvious. First, the characters falling for the protagonist happens a bit too quickly; I suggest adding more scenes. (Of course, given his popular nature, it's understandable that he falls for everyone quickly.) Second, the protagonist actually has too little screen time with the other main characters, which is exhausting… From the Illusion Mirror arc, a bunch of people fall for the protagonist, then in the City of Life and Death, and then again in the mortal realm. Have you noticed how many characters appear? This makes me remember many characters only to find they don't appear in the story. The main characters I want to see have almost no development…

   These are some I've watched recently. I don't need all the supporting characters to like the protagonist, but at least I need to like the protagonist. In my opinion, a protagonist's charm doesn't need mindless, troublesome suitors to demonstrate it. Seeing the protagonist grow is a plus, as are the plot and career development; ulterior motives like pseudo-characters are a minus.
