I'm Too Focused on Studying to Date

I've been watching this since my freshman year, and last week I even received an offer from the University of Tokyo, but it's still not over...

From the beginning until now, the male protagonist's image was initially positive and ambitious, striving for his dreams. However, he gradually transformed from a perfect character into a pushover, helping everyone and trying to gain favor with everyone while simultaneously avoiding getting too close to them—typical scumbag behavior. But thankfully, it's a typical harem novel trope, the kind of good-natured male lead common in many novels. He's just a bit of a pushover, but the chapter where he saves the hot thug girl made me want to vomit. Earlier, the story described how ruthlessly the girl beat up her boyfriend, and later the protagonist actually helps her. Even after being drugged by one of the harem members, he still forgives her. I'm utterly speechless; he says he only helped them because his conscience bothered him…

The author's first-person perspective draws us in, allowing us to understand Japan as if we were Japanese ourselves. Even from the early chapters, I already learned a great deal about Japanese life and customs. The author also reveals aspects of contemporary Japanese society, including the inequality faced by women and the pressures on young people, genuinely engaging us with the story. While the writing style is somewhat stiff, it doesn't lack nuanced portrayal of the characters' inner thoughts, showcasing the author's effort. Just a few chapters in, the author's father tragically passed away, for which I feel deeply sorry and hope the author takes good care of themselves. This type of light novel is relatively rare, and I hope the author can...

Subscribing to the whole thing, spending 30 yuan to buy two boxes of firecrackers for a quick bang is more worthwhile than reading this book!!! Full text: I'm a good person, I don't want to hurt any of the ladies, so I've added them all to my harem. Even if just one woman drains the protagonist dry, and he's left a widow, that's still his fate. This protagonist, so gentle and patriotic (just saying it), hasn't done a single good deed. Like the werewolves in Werewolf who say we're friends but secretly vote us out. Dark at heart?!

I haven't watched it for two years, and it's already over.

Is Pineapple Bun really that realistic? On one site, saying something negative about it gets deleted; this one's even gotten dirty.

Next, I'll continue updating my new book, "The Rival of Passionate Women is a Cat." If you're interested, you can add it to your favorites.

It's been years, it's finally over!

Haha, as you might have guessed, even I'm at a loss for how to proceed, so I'm constantly experiencing writer's block. To avoid wasting time, I've taken out the outline of that book I started writing, revised it a bit, and am preparing to re-upload and continue writing it. The title is "Studying in Japan as a Rented Boyfriend," those interested can check it out. As for the old book, I'll slowly work on finishing it. [Em: sfgirl]

---_However, the book is still very good. At least I'm still following it. That shows it has many advantages. I recommend checking it out. The book's strengths are its clean structure, smooth and fast-paced plot development, and the captivating youth story. The protagonist has high emotional intelligence. The occasional small surprises and well-developed characters, along with the author's knowledge of Japan and attitude towards family, are all excellent. A minor complaint: The author probably doesn't read comments and prefers to isolate themselves. The psychological age of 27 and 17 shouldn't be added together. The psychological age of 40+ is overthinking it. Also, this book should probably be called: (More Girls, Less Reading). (Analysis of weaknesses and characters follows.) (Pineapple Bun is not closed...)
