Shut-Ins Are Really Amazing

This is my first time writing a book review (please be gentle). I've recently been enjoying reading slice-of-life novels, and this one's title, "Otaku," caught my attention, so I decided to give it a try. However, I was greatly disappointed; it was far from what I expected of an otaku novel.

Every time I watch a Japanese light novel, it involves clubs, and every time it's the male protagonist who doesn't want to go but has to for some reason. It's really uncomfortable to watch.

Everything seemed fine until after I enrolled in school, when things started to fall apart. First, the villain's plot is clichéd: a good-for-nothing playboy who wants to sleep with any beautiful woman he sees, leading to conflict with the protagonist.

Let's talk about the flaws of this book. (1) What do you mean by the fans at that anime convention? First of all, the man's possessiveness means he doesn't want his girlfriend (in preparation) to be seen by others. The cosplayer can choose other characters, and then she encounters some technical problems, which the protagonist helps solve. (2)

Good grief, I thought it was going to be a good novel, but as I read on, I started to lose my mind.

I've gone off-topic. The book should actually be titled "After Two Years of Surviving in Tokyo, I Crushed the Rich Kids."

If you're going to stay home, just stay home quietly. Why bother with all these fancy things?

Getting off-topic, it's still just a Japanese person disguised as an otaku...

I feel this description of a shut-in isn't quite accurate enough. For a true shut-in, you can refer to characters like Izumi Sagiri from *Eromanga Sensei*. Ultimately, a shut-in is someone who avoids leaving the house whenever possible, and goes to great lengths to stay indoors. It's none of my business. Hanging high.

I saw the section on joining clubs, so I mentioned it there. The writing from the beginning of my school years was terrible; the plot was a complete mess. Why? Because the characters didn't fit the established personas, and the protagonist's level was severely below par—a so-called power level inconsistency. But web novels don't give you many opportunities to add settings.
