   Reader note

   I'd like to recommend some less common "male-oriented" short stories, specifically "tabletop role-playing game adaptations" (tabletop role-playing games involve writing your own scripts and having a moderator control the plot, preventing the protagonist from feeling frustrated; plus, the moderator says that reality is already tiring, dark, and cruel enough, so everyone's playing a normal tabletop game, so having fun is the most important thing, leading to a happy ending). Most of the recommendations are also less common diary entries.
