🧠 Brain-Restoring Library: Quirky Niche Novels and Promising New Reads
Ahem... Well, you can probably tell from the list’s name that it may contain a fair number of oddballs. If you’re okay with that, consider this a recommendation. If not, think of it as a warning, haha. Still, life is exhausting, so in my free time I want something light and brainless, with plenty of feel-good moments. It still needs to make basic sense, though!!!! (￣▽￣) This list mainly features little sprouts and bigger sprouts between 50,000 and 900,000 characters. I’m partial to lightheart
🧠 Brain-Storage Library (Urban Fiction)
Ahem... well, you can probably tell from the list name. There may be a lot of oddball books here. If you're into them, consider this a recommendation. If not, treat it as a list of books to avoid, haha. Still, life is exhausting, so in our spare time we want light, brainless power fantasies that don't make us think too hard (but they still need basic logic!!!!) (￣▽￣) This list mainly collects new urban novels between 50,000 and 900,000 characters. -I prefer light everyday stories, warm and hea

I enjoy reading your articles about how to crush the Japanese. But when you write about how the Japanese can crush the whole world, I can only frown and look at you. We're probably not on the same wavelength.
This is what a pretentious intellectual is like, just like those flopping directors. Look at the author's final comment; he thinks he understands things better than the readers. "I know readers won't like it, but I just want to write it this way, so please leave me alone." This kind of pretentious intellectualism needs the market to cure it, otherwise he'll act like he doesn't care.
I can't stand it. Once or twice is one thing, but Paradise Lost is unbearable. Does the author have to have at least two acquaintances die before he can write anything? It makes it seem like the protagonist has no imagination at all. Is he a plagiarist? If a plagiarist had to go through similar experiences to remember the plot, I wouldn't even mention it, but is it really meaningful to keep arranging things like this?
It feels really awkward. Kaoru is too young. Won't publishing this kind of book be considered indecent? Changing the name would be better. Does the protagonist have to be Kaoru? They keep saying the protagonist's name should be changed, but they didn't even change the protagonist's name in "The Dancer of Izu".
The last few pictures are a bit too outrageous.
Either don't let the main character win an award, or with just a nomination, even a minor villain can jump out and fight. Besides, in the 1990s, Japan's booming media industry was slower than the main character himself in relaying news back home; even in 1690, it wouldn't have been this fast. Since he won an award, why would this extra use such a ridiculous excuse to fight?
The bad guy hasn't even committed suicide yet, but the good guy has. Even if you're setting up the plot, this is ridiculous. If you're going to write this, why did you save that little girl in kindergarten in the first place? Wouldn't it have been more dramatic to have the little girl tortured to death? Sigh, authors with this pretentious, pretentious writing style are hopeless.
This part is really boring, vulgar and uninteresting. They're all supposed to be the best in the world, so even low-level thugs don't need to lift a finger; someone will be there to help them get on the good side and sink them in Tokyo Bay. This part is purely meant to disgust the reader.
Your writing on entertainment is just a mess of commercial entertainment content. What's with this "book fans get freebies" nonsense? Do you think the theaters and everyone you work with are sycophants and idiots, or do you think your readers are idiots?
As a light novel, the pacing is actually not bad, but it often feels too much like a loser's story.
After reading for a while, I felt this more and more. I don't know if it was intentional on the author's part or if the author's experience was indeed limited, but the protagonist's behavior often felt out of place. For example, the development of his relationship with his childhood sweetheart—it's not that he had to rush into bed with her, but it was all pure love with frequent close-ups of…
You can't always use the sacrifice of friends to advance the plot. Don't you think it's cruel to poison the readers for your own little bit of mental purity?
