   This author writes mostly wish-fulfillment stories. It's female-centric, with no regard for the lives of others. If you're a fan of overly extreme characters, proceed with caution.

   It's great! There's a new sequel on the L app next door. Honestly, the protagonist of this novel is incredibly interesting, and the metaphors are so quirky, I love them. Right now, I'm completely betting on Yachi and Isana. Seriously, the combination of Isana and Higashiyama is unbeatable.

   I like it~ It's a pity my stock purchase failed. Since this author wrote about Stardew Valley, countless Stardew Valley-themed works have been combined with other anime.

    As expected, RPGs are the best way to enjoy a satisfying read. I especially loved the part where he becomes the leader of the Star Cult. Everyone bows down to kiss his fingers. I particularly love the protagonist; after reading it, you'll understand my sense of melancholy. It's a pity I failed in my stock picks. I really enjoyed how the female lead develops sadistic traits later on.

    A satisfying read. I've never liked discussing philosophy or the concept of non-killing in Gotham, but this one is excellent. One shot, one kill. I love stories with little fluff and a direct, action-packed plot. The female lead gets straight to the point, without holding back.

    A story about a super-rich tycoon. And a touch of subtle narcissism—I absolutely love how these elements blend together. The one who loves themselves most is always themselves, and a story about a super-rich tycoon who spoils themselves is truly satisfying.

    The cat is good, and the person is good too. The female lead's defining characteristic is that she doesn't self-reproach, which is great. I'm really afraid of those stories where there's a lot of moral condemnation but the female lead hasn't done anything wrong. While the female lead in this story does self-reproach, it doesn't stop her from being ruthless.
