   I only recommend these four Japanese light novels. I haven't read much of the first one, so I don't know how good it is later, but the beginning is okay. The second one is a masterpiece; reading it feels like watching anime. The third one reminds me a bit of "Loser Dog." I won't mention the fourth one; go read it yourself, it's guaranteed to be good.

   Oh no, they're all so good I don't know how to recommend them! The first one even has its own whole volume dedicated to a single female lead, the relationships are perfectly balanced and incredibly sweet, help! The fifth one is also fantastic; even just reading the beginning is amazing. You could think of it as a Japanese slice-of-life light novel with some demon-slaying elements and a touch of redemption. The fourth one is a pure school-themed redemption slice-of-life light novel, the writing is top-notch. Although these are all harem novels, they're not just mindless harem stories. I personally really enjoy reading romance novels with slice-of-life elements... I don't really like stories where the female lead revolves around the male lead, and he's either clueless or pretending to be oblivious. If you know any similar novels, please recommend some to me, hehehe.

   I've already collected all the masterpieces! Disagree? The first book perfectly captures the youthful, innocent, and hazy feeling of adolescence. The portrayal of the awkwardness at the beginning of high school is absolutely brilliant—it perfectly captures that sweet and hazy flavor of youth! But there are so few readers now; I'm really worried the author will lose motivation and abandon the series… All you campus novel fans out there, go check it out! Don't let this great book fade away.
