   This book is really good. The protagonist is a complete nobody, definitely not the typical cheesy, gentle male lead. He's average-looking, but absolutely aloof. He doesn't fawn over women or torture them. When he encounters a woman being unreasonable, he just punches her hard, but the women become more and more clingy like mochi the more he hits them. There are also many original-world protagonists with harems, and the protagonist in those stories also punches them hard. This kind of subversion of tropes is truly amazing.

    It's amazing that such a wonderful gem has gone undiscovered! The novel's style is definitely different from typical Japanese light novels, but it also differs from typical Japanese light novels in that the author divides a chapter into multiple smaller chapters. You could say it's a unique style of the author, but there's nothing wrong with it. The story is mainly told from a first-person perspective, sometimes from the male protagonist's point of view, sometimes from the female protagonist's, and sometimes from a supporting character's perspective. This differs from the third-person perspective of typical Japanese light novels, and this first-person perspective actually makes the reader feel more immersed and engaged. The writing style is delicate, and the narrative is well-structured, showcasing the author's writing skills. The male protagonist went to Japan to study in high school and speaks both Chinese and Japanese, while the female protagonist, although Japanese, speaks Chinese, Japanese, and English. The dialogue in the story is separated by quotation marks and square brackets. The dialogue is both in Chinese and Japanese, and the language switching at crucial moments is quite interesting. It's especially funny to see the female lead use Japanese in front of the male lead's "white moonlight" (his romantic ideal) to tell him that the first thing he did upon arriving in Japan was try cross-dressing, which makes the male lead incredibly embarrassed. Then, the male lead's "white moonlight," who only speaks English and Chinese and doesn't understand Japanese, asks him what he and the female lead were talking about, and the male lead rambles on in Chinese, which is quite hilarious. The first volume has just finished, and both the male and female leads have already failed to confess to their "white moonlight" and become "losers" (unlucky). The preconditions are all set. You might say that when the male lead comforted the female lead after her failed confession, it was just out of friendship, but in the latest chapter, after the male lead's failed confession, the female lead, while comforting him, finds herself secretly pleased, indicating that she has realized her own feelings. I guess the next volume will mainly focus on the confirmation of their feelings. A promising book, highly recommended! [Heart emojis]
