Villains Who Bully Beautiful Girls Never Get Chopped Up

I can't post a short review, so I'll write a long one to explain why I disliked the mother-daughter scene. (Strictly speaking, it's not really a mother-daughter scene.) First, the reason the mother blushed was very abrupt, and to put it bluntly, it was disgusting. Let me briefly summarize the plot: The male protagonist goes to Nanami's house for "refuge," and because he's physically weak, he barges into the bathroom and makes eye contact with Sayuri (Nanami's mother). The protagonist is sick and has a nosebleed, so Sayuri assumes he's interested in her (this is where I can't stand it. I could accept Sayuri being a younger sister, but it's the mother—it's practically incest!). And I'm not saying the mother would misunderstand this kind of drama...

The premise is interesting, but the male lead is somewhat poorly portrayed.

My impression is that Nanami's performance is actually inferior to Rika's. She doesn't even understand her own feelings before causing trouble, which only makes her more pathetic. The reviews are full of criticism of Rika's mediocrity, but I think what attracts the protagonist is her more positive outlook compared to the other two characters. Someone who has lived in darkness for so long will ultimately yearn for the light, even if it's like a moth drawn to a flame. Those reviews are full of malice towards Rika, but the premise of this book is that the protagonist is about to die! What kind of situation can't the protagonist understand? Why does he have to keep burying his head in the sand with that ostrich Nanami? Shika is similar, very ostrich-like, but better than Nanami; at least he knows he likes the protagonist. That's all...

Firstly, the male protagonist's cunning and intelligence in the early stages are highlights of the novel. However, the further you read, the more you feel there's a forced decrease in his intelligence, specifically in the following ways: 1. Since the male protagonist is supposed to embody the scheming and ruthlessness of a villain, the early parts of the novel portray this aspect exceptionally well. But what's with the forced decrease in intelligence later on? His handling of the first female lead was quite exciting, but with the introduction of Xiao Lu, I couldn't understand it anymore. Did he become so terrified because of a misunderstanding that Xiao Lu might kill the male protagonist that he lost all sense of reason? Couldn't he have tested the waters before making a decision? The contrast with the early parts is too great. 2. More and more characters appear, but the more you read, the more you feel...

The plot is good, but the writing is a bit awkward. Leaving aside the fact that the literary girl is a super-strong girl with a physical strength rating of 8, it's strange and unrealistic for the male protagonist, whose physical strength is only 3, to take down several delinquents with just a stun gun and pepper spray. Later, seeing his stepsister on the phone with some snow woman really makes me think he's living in Bengbu (a famous Chinese fictional city in China), giving off a "City Rumble: The Return of the Dragon King" vibe where the Dragon King summons a hundred thousand troops with a single phone call to boost his daughter's sales performance. Slice-of-life novels really test basic writing skills.

The male and female protagonists in this book are very well-developed and fleshed out. Their conflicting emotions as normal people (saying they don't want to do something, but still doing it anyway) are also well-described. The female protagonist's character is arguably the most fully developed: she has a girlish heart, low self-esteem, and dreams of a prince charming (from the beginning of the novel, she sees the male protagonist as her prince charming who will save her). The male protagonist's character is also well-developed; he acts like a villain to survive, but his inner gentleness is always revealed. Frankly, many novels by "Pineapple Bun" (a popular online novelist) have underdeveloped characters, female protagonists who blindly give themselves away, character inconsistencies, absurd plots, and poor writing. In this novel, so far...

This is a book I highly recommend. I picked it up randomly because I was out of reading material. There are so many similar titles on Pineapple Bun (a Chinese online bookstore), with many having similar content and mediocre writing—it's a complete waste of time. Because the title was so ordinary, I didn't have high hopes for this book at first, but it was surprisingly good. The content isn't exactly original, but it was definitely refreshing. The author's writing is incredibly smooth and comfortable to read. Many novels have well-developed female characters, but the male characters often fall short. This book, however, has relatively few female characters, but the male lead is portrayed very deeply. Some people say that impotent male leads are annoying, and that's true...

I don't quite understand why they need to give... One that is not bound to the system The older sister of the second female lead, Xiao Lu So many scenes At first, I thought she was just an unimportant character... But she progressed the fastest in her relationship with the male lead? What the heck... Is the author planning to replace the female lead? Or did they just get carried away and decide that Rika was more to their liking and easier to manipulate?

Wow, those three golden chapters were truly a non-stop feast for the eyes, author! Sorry, many readers with high tolerance for toxicity might have made it to the exciting parts later on, but my tolerance isn't high enough, so I'll have to take my leave now.

Does anyone remember the novel "Never Give Up, Four Girlfriends"? I can't find it anywhere online now.
