Life in Tokyo, Starting with Romance Tips

It's incomprehensible why every Japanese light novel now seems to include a yandere character who's unreasonable and forces the protagonist into a vulnerable position. Are the character settings in Japanese light novels all fixed? At least when other characters are added, they appear at the beginning, and if you can't accept them, you can leave them early.

It was alright at first, the beginning was great. But after the girlfriend's storyline appeared, I thought it would develop further, but then a yandere rich girl suddenly appeared. From then on, the protagonist became an unstoppable scumbag, and the girlfriend's character had very little presence. In the end, it just drifted apart and ended. The writing style is good, the quality of the writing is excellent, but the story logic is flawed.

I really liked the style of your book, but the ending—throwing me ten years into the future...—Was the first time I'd ever encountered an ending like this, it made me want to vomit blood.

① Still a virgin after over a hundred chapters ② The plot progresses at an unusually slow pace ③ There is little interaction between female characters The most important point is that there are too few updates 🤓

There's a lot of rambling. Whenever something happens, the author first mentally analyzes or fantasizes about it, then explains it again, often quoting a famous saying. The most memorable example is a chapter where they explain that soda tastes better iced, explaining that ice contains more carbon dioxide, providing more stimulation to the brain.

It looks good.

And you still need to explain away this as a pushover? Do you think we readers are so dark-hearted? I have to say, it's too sentimental (referring to the author). Both chapters (88 and 89) have this feeling. Be assertive when you need to be, stop being so hesitant. It's uncomfortable.

Compared to the current wife character design, she is too peaceful and serene, lacking the haggard and weak feeling that a debt-ridden single mother should have. Let's just take this as a character design of the wife after the protagonist helps her solve her troubles. Artist: mono Illustration ID: 85430828

It's normal for slice-of-life stories to have inner monologues, but there are just too many. Every time a woman is encountered, the author repeatedly talks about how ruthless and powerful he is 😅. The characters aren't much more developed through these inner monologues; instead, it feels a bit verbose. Many chapters are almost half inner monologues, which is excessive. Also, the plot really needs to be pushed forward a bit.

Aokai Kawa Nanase is sunny, cheerful, and innocent.
