To gain the power to fight monsters, Lu Ren accepted forbidden power and became the most mysterious magical girl in City A.
To keep his identity secret, Lu Ren traveled faster than the other magical girls in City A, fought harder than them, and ran away faster than them. He even turned down official interviews.
He thought that would make him completely safe. But one day, after he was forced to return to his dorm in his magical-girl body, his roommate started looking at him strangely.
Whatever. He's just a shut-in roommate. Who cares what he thinks?
"Uguu... I can't believe someone like you managed to win me over! What a disgrace!"
The magical girl Blazing Flame, now permanently unable to change back, glared fiercely at the man in front of her.
The author lacks common sense. It's known that firearms are ineffective against Shadow Beasts, so if the official forces can't defeat them, they can only rely on magical girls. Magical girls fight to the death; people can die. This official recruitment of these girls, who are essentially risking their lives, initially only paid 4,000-5,000 yuan a month—less than a factory worker's salary. Then, the leaders had a conscience and sold their virtual currency to provide an extra subsidy of 20,000 yuan. And then the higher-ups thought it was too high and wanted to cut it—is this child labor oppression?
I've already subscribed to and finished reading it. The writing is mediocre and unremarkable, the plot lacks highlights, the character arcs are weak, some settings lack logic, and the romance is bland and abrupt, with virtually no romance in the early and middle stages. However, it has no major flaws. Overall, I'd give it a 5 out of 10. I recommend reading this only when you have nothing else to read.
I'm having trouble accepting the male lead who's just a background character (I'll come back to the romance later).
Xu Wenxing didn't react much to Chi Yan's appearance and continued his relaxed, buddy-like relationship with Lu Ren, so it was clear he had no romantic feelings for her. The only way to develop a romantic relationship with Xu Wenxing is to wait for Chi Yan to transform and gradually ignite his desires.
This male lead is utterly useless and repulsive.
Sorry, I have too much to do, I need to take a day off. Gu
It's really good, a comfortable read. The male lead isn't swayed by emotions, and the female lead isn't naive or silly. It has plenty of elements of a tokusatsu magical girl story, reminding me of a similar but not a transmigration/marriage-themed light novel that incorporates some ordinary people's malice to promote the development of the male and female leads' relationship.

Actually, I feel it's not impossible for the main characters to become idols, as long as singing and dancing don't drain their energy too much. They could be legitimate role models, occasionally offering encouragement, saying inspirational things, and making motivational statements. That would be enough, just like the original definition of an idol—a guiding beacon in a religion. Nowadays, idols are frequently created in China, for example, representing model workers and various acts of bravery.
Congratulations on your product launch!
Hopefully, the male lead will possess an even stronger belief and awareness than the female lead, otherwise it will be very disappointing to watch.
