Hunter X Hunter: The Trouble with Having Too Many Admirers

One-line synopsis: This is a story that can't be summed up in a single sentence. For now, let's call it "wildly off the rails."

※ ●○ ※

The irreverent version:

The trouble with having too many admirers: it's troublesome, super troublesome, unbelievably troublesome!

A lazybones who's afraid of dying and hates trouble is weeping buckets.

The Zoldyck family patriarch forces a smile: You lured every one of our younger generation away. What crime do you plead?

The little girl grins like she deserves a good smack: You let the wolf in yourself. How can you blame me?

The younger generation: ...

The bandit leader smiles warmly: You lured away all the beauties in our troupe. What crime do you plead?

The little girl twitches her lips: The spiders lacked self-control. How can you blame me?

The spiders: ...

Some old fox from an association: (glares fiercely) You--

The little girl, making a face like a steamed bun: (interrupting) Fine, fine, yes, yes, I'm guilty, I'm guilty... But before you blame me, how about making that bunch of lolicon men take a good look at themselves!

The serious version:

She longs to live, like a moth pursuing fireworks with all its might. She burns up everything she has left, and welcomes it wholeheartedly.

Yet the stubborn resolve in her heart seems laughable beside the blankness in her mind.

The past she crushed with her own hands stands for denial: a past denied, a self denied, an existence denied--

What we call light and what we call darkness are merely places of belonging defined in relation to each other.

She wanders between a black and white that seem real but are not, appearing to know when to advance and retreat, but in truth--between light and shadow,

there is no place for her.

This book is also known as: "How Can I Save You, My Little Admirers?" "So This Is What You're Like, Little Girl" and "A History of Scams in Another World"

No Mary Sue, no naive white lotus, no saintly heroine. The author is absolutely a doting mom.

A strong female lead's coming-of-age story, with a measured golden finger.

※ Reader's guide: Long, serious drama, not a lighthearted comedy. It's a serious drama in disguise, with plenty of romance, but the relationships develop slowly. Every handsome guy is fair game. Also, the heroine is one of a kind. (:3"∠ )_ ※

※ Volume One takes place before the main story begins and is mostly original content. The serious plot starts in Volume Two. ※

※ If you want to read the main story, you can start with Volume Two, but please don't complain that the handsome men's feelings seem abrupt. The bonds are all laid down in Volume One. Volume Two onward follows the main plot in earnest, though original content will still appear. The author is a canon fan and will carefully research and consider what Togashi might draw next. I've already braced myself for face-slapping. (Tears) ※

※ If anything seems unclear or odd while reading, feel free to point it out. It might be foreshadowing, or it might be an oversight.

The author is a typo magnet and also has a bit of a wordiness gene. If anything feels dragged out, let me know and I'll do my best to improve. ※

※ Come check out my other story, too! It's a Brothers Conflict fanfic, also with a strong female lead. ※

※ Updates aren't on a set schedule, but there will be a weekly update. I'll try to post more when I can, and avoid cutting back.

? I hope everyone will leave comments to give Feifei some motivation, sob sob sob. ※
