They Don't Really Think I Like Them, Do They?

Please, author, I really want the tsundere to win for once! I really want Mangzi to win! Please, author, I've never made a wish in my life, but I cried buckets when I saw the ending of Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend. Now I have to consider if this is the only chance for the blonde, twin-tailed tsundere to win. Please, author!

It started strong but ended weak; moreover, as expected of 8u's book, it exudes self-satisfaction.

The male protagonist losing his virginity has become a century-old problem.

I've had this book in my collection since it first came out, and it immediately caught my eye when I started reading. Many of the settings were quite interesting. Although it's a campus system novel, it has both similarities and differences. The similarity is the male protagonist's built-in system, but the difference lies in the system's characteristics. The intersection of the novel's world setting and the entertainment industry's chaotic system definitely creates a unique spark. Also, the protagonist probably won't use his system to pursue the female leads like other campus system protagonists (although I quite like that kind of thing), but rather he'll become a troublemaker in the entertainment industry, which made me laugh. In short, it has many highlights and is very interesting. Looking forward to the plot developments in the synopsis...

The suggestion here is that Yan Yuli finally couldn't hold back anymore. She deeply loved the male lead but knew they couldn't be together. So, at a concert, she publicly revealed to everyone that she couldn't be with him because of her mother's pressure, and then the whole internet exposed the truth, causing fans to grieve. The next day, the male lead released a new song, JJ Lin's "Jiangnan." When Mangzi found out, she assumed the male lead was confessing his love to Yan. She immediately kidnapped him. The male lead disappeared for several days, and with the lyrics of "Jiangnan," everyone thought he was going to commit suicide because of unrequited love. Yan called him but he didn't answer, and he went to his house but no one was there. She was filled with regret and frantically searched the world for him, crying and pleading with everyone...

It's very well written. It doesn't use fancy language or rely on elaborate prose, but it made me laugh out loud in just a few words, which really resonated with me. It doesn't rely on traditional formulas; the seemingly light and ordinary narrative style reveals the author's careful polishing of the work. Keep it up, Coffee Sauce! Like a roc rising with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high, this work will definitely do well as long as it doesn't have a bad ending. Finally… I've already written the book review you wanted, Sack-o'-the-Sack, so hurry up and update! Coffee Sauce, you old thief! Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare rest like this! If you keep dragging this out, I'll just throw a pink sack over your head from afar…

Sorry, I've been drinking too much lately and I'm a bit dizzy. There are quite a few typos, I'll fix them later. Please bear with me.

Bro, you've written enough about romance, don't forget to write about fun too. I'm really lacking in that area.

Overall, this book is worth reading and has become one of my daily sources of joy. Its unpublished version was more abstract, but it toned down considerably after publication. Personally, I don't find using abstract templates tedious or boring, but too much of this will definitely deter some readers—because I'm just looking for fun, unlike most people seeking profound and excellent works who have higher expectations. More importantly, if a work only has abstract templates without any truly innovative elements, it definitely won't get paid subscriptions and is likely to be a flop upon publication. In this regard, the author...

I'm currently on volume four. The other two female leads are alright, but Yan Yuli's character... Well, I'm at a loss for words. It's strange, because I remember a novel I read before, most of which I've forgotten, but one plot point stuck with me: "If you need help, just say so directly (ask for help), otherwise it means you don't need my help." That really stuck with me (I vaguely remember that plot was about redemption). My impression of Yan Yuli wasn't great to begin with. She broke down the male lead's defenses and was about to win his heart, but then at the most crucial moment, she pushed him away herself. After a while...
