Got it. I got it, sure, but why didn’t anyone tell me about the situation with my secret identities? Every time I wake up, I’m either chained up or ground down to a stub.

He was originally loaded with the personality settings of Tsurumaru Kuninaga from the game Touken Ranbu. He could pick up on keywords and interact with his “Master.” His biggest difference from other desktop pets was that he had a little intelligence and could download information from the internet to learn. As the “Master” interacted with him more and more, one day they grew tired of this ordinary Tsurumaru. Using methods 7.5kFavorites48.6kClicks/ch1.7kGifts

   The spiral flying scene is absolutely amazing!! Especially the wandering citadel, I cried all afternoon while watching it, and then I cried again and again while watching Izuminokami Kanesada last night [clown][clown]. Maybe it's because the real swordsmanship was so brutal that the fake swordsmanship didn't hurt as much ( ). Anyway, it's a really good show with a beautiful, strong, and tragic fake swordsmanship. I love watching movies like this, and I'm eagerly awaiting the author's extra chapters, meow.

   It's great! There are characters who fake their deaths and some who don't have a partner, but they're all bad endings. It's not too angsty, quite enjoyable. It's not entirely about being a perfect, strong, and tragic character because it's not that tragic (maybe). Anyway, it's pretty good.

    The beginning was quite dramatic, but by the end I didn't want to continue. The second half was a bit unsettling, and given the author's history of turning a fake story into a real one (cough, not really), it wasn't as captivating for me anymore. The beginning, though, was still quite dramatic. // Second Editor: I've finished the main text, and it's still delicious!

    It's great!!! There are some real emotional moments, but not too harsh (what am I talking about?). The crematorium scene was quite satisfying. The protagonist's amnesia and multiple aliases and names in the first half were a little confusing, but it got really enjoyable as it went on. Looking forward to the sequels and epilogues.

    I love the worlds of Cursed Revenge and Bungo Stray Dogs, especially Bungo Stray Dogs, which made me cry so much I almost died (lol). I lost interest in the later world-merging and chaotic scenes, so I didn't finish buying it. Overall, it's pretty good. // Second Editor: Bought it! The chaotic scenes were so satisfying! I really like the pairing of Randou and Mori-san (hmm). Although it wasn't explicitly stated that it was an all-or-nothing relationship, I didn't expect the president and Touko to have a "more than friends, less than lovers" feeling (it surprised me a bit). But it doesn't matter, it's still very good (hehe).

The first world could barely be considered a happy ending (?), The second world was basically a death escape, but not too tragic (?), And the last world was a bit like a base-building story?

Overall, the story is very exciting, beautiful, strong, and tragic—I really liked it. // Second review: I bought the rest of the book on my second read. It's alright, quite funny, really hilarious!

Even before parting ways with his sister, Jiang Huai was saying they'd meet again, and he thought they would. But someone had already resolutely embarked on their predetermined path. "I came for sacrifice, and I will leave for sacrifice." Li Ming, you truly became the dawn of the world. You brought everyone a bright and glorious future. The angst was quite intense, but not the kind of satisfyingly angsty kind. After finishing it, I only felt a sense of unease and regret. (Also, the Prophet's group was really... Interesting.)

    I really liked the angst, but the Matsuda episode in Detective Conan was so tragic it made me feel physically uncomfortable (sorry, but I really can't stand seeing the police academy group in Detective Conan really go through the wringer), so I'm deducting half a star from that. I accepted the Bungo Stray Dogs curse episode quite well, and I actually liked it, hehe.

    It's great! So few people read it (eyes wander). I finished reading the author's first book in one night during finals week (not really). The writing style and transitions were a bit off in the beginning, but it got much better later! I wasn't very interested in the first playthrough flashback part, so I just skimmed through it. I'm really looking forward to the epilogue where I find out the truth (ecstatic, I love heartbreak!). The fake heartbreak (or real heartbreak?) Was so satisfying!

    Hmm, not bad? A bit too short. It feels like the story could have continued. The ending felt rushed and a bit rushed. The premise was quite sharp, but there wasn't much to eat (gestures), which made it feel a bit lacking. Worth reading if you're looking for something to read.

    It's alright, I like Hei Ran, hehe. The later part, with the curse and the return of the alternate identity, felt like the story didn't develop much, and the angst wasn't really delivered. Hei Ran really suffered a lot; the strong-strong dynamic is delicious and I love it.

    It's not bad, but the typos in the later parts really affected the reading experience. I suggest the author take some time to revise the text. Also, I don't know if it's an outline issue or what, but there are quite a few plot holes. Towards the end, I was no longer clear whether Bai Xi and Xiao Sui were the same person who were both reborn or only the Crown Prince was reborn. The last few chapters were really messy, but that doesn't stop the angst from being delicious. I love this kind of genre! Genius!! I want to read the first life (cough). The angst is so good that I couldn't resist subscribing to the whole thing. (Secondly, I glanced at the author's homepage reviews and felt that the author might not be good at ending things. Several of the book reviews said that the ending was bad. This one was indeed very good at the beginning and I felt that the ending was also bad, but there were quite a few plot holes... Anyway, if you're only interested in the angst, I feel like you can stop reading when you've had enough (hmm)).

    Curator note

    This is a free novel. The author seems to be planning some side stories, so it's not completely finished, but it is indeed a completed work. The writing style is a bit immature in the early stages, and the angst is quite enjoyable. It's a crossover between various anime, but that's not a large part of the story. There are quite a few original characters, and there are flashbacks that feel like watching a movie, but they're not really like watching a movie (what am I talking about?). I don't really like the kind of calm before the storm brings angst; it made me a little uncomfortable. But overall, it's okay. After all, it's a free novel, so we can't expect too much.

The flashback is always the most heartbreaking part, so when will the seabirds get married? (Covers mouth)

Matsuda's sister, real sword, I personally might prefer the more intense red of the Iron Blood series, this pure black looks a bit strange, but it's really not bad, it's not angsty for the sake of angst. However, since the author didn't have an outline, there are some minor inconsistencies in the middle, but it doesn't affect the reading experience.
