   The first book features a simp protagonist with a non-intelligent system. The protagonist suffers quite a bit in the early stages while being a simp, but later, after he stops, the clueless male lead manages to win him over on his own. The second book doesn't feature a protagonist who tortures himself, but it's still very tragic, and the reader is highly immersive. The third book is a rebirth novel, with angst in the early and middle stages, where the female lead tortures the male lead.
