What about a tough guy with a soft heart?
To be fair, the protagonist Yujiro's physique is undoubtedly that of a classic macho man, but it's also a historical fact that macho men are no longer popular. So what would happen if the protagonist took a tough-guy-with-a-soft-heart approach? Just like the classic thug in Japanese anime who feeds milk to kittens.
To be honest, the book's premise is somewhat interesting; the choice of combining real history with fictional stories is decent. However, the writing style and plot development are lacking. In the latest chapters, the author seems to be aiming for a plot twist, and I can sense a hint of exploring the darker side of yakuza humanity.
What kind of dark fantasy is this? It's dark fantasy that's purely for the protagonist's benefit, right?
Your portrayal of darkness is like child's play. Isn't this latest piece pure nonsense? These underworld high schools are basically run by members of a gang. You, a nobody in the entertainment industry, think you're worthy of being targeted by them to suppress their new blood? And breaking the agreement? Is this some kind of fun? Is this what real darkness is like, child's play?
I don't understand it, but I'm deeply moved.
The main character is described far too little; it feels like a popular science article about the entertainment industry of that era. I've also seen this kind of writing style in American entertainment, and there are variations that involve time travel to a hodgepodge of old American TV series—it all feels a bit like a studio production.
Regarding the fact that I was attracted by the description "the strongest in land, sea, and air," but ended up looking at Japanese entertainment news on Baidu.
Drawn in by the synopsis, I initially thought someone with Kaido's physique would likely enter the underworld and then transition to the entertainment industry, becoming a godfather-like figure. However, after reading 60 or 70 chapters, the main plot remains unclear. Is the strongest body just for using as a gigolo? The content is mostly Japanese gossip and rumors.
Dagu This reminded me of a little quirk of the former president of Johnny & Associates.
It's so annoying.
I've read over twenty chapters; this book seems promising. But... What kind of book is written like this? It's all science popularization all day long—is that interesting? What about the plot? The ratio of science popularization to plot is severely imbalanced. A large portion is science popularization, with only a small amount of plot—what kind of book is that?
A whole bunch of science articles, I don't know what you're writing?
After watching all this, I feel like Masahiko Kondo is the real protagonist. The main character is so physically strong, yet he's involved in entertainment.
