I, Gui Hong, am an ordinary shut-in. My greatest wish in life is to eat, sleep, and wait for death.
One cursed night, as a shooting star streaked across the sky, a glowing orb that claimed to be a Magical Girl Guidance System smashed through my ceiling and announced in an infuriatingly cheerful voice that I had extraordinary bones and was a one-in-a-million magical girl prospect.
“I’m a guy, you bastard!”
It ignored my anguished cries...
After a flash of blinding light, I stared at the soft, adorable catgirl in the mirror and fell into deep thought.
“Guidance System, I’ll murder your whole family!”
And to make things even worse, that stupid System bound me to a ridiculous [Reverse Love Barrier]: the more people hate me, the stronger I become, the weaker my perception gets, and the tougher I am to beat up.
As an optimistic shut-in, I soon got over the shock.
I know this setup! I just have to be an emotionless taunting machine, draw all the hate, and then take off!
I thought I was about to embark on an invincible, overpowered hero’s journey, beating demons with my fists and kicking ghosts into the dirt, but...
The plot went off the rails...
My aloof ex-girlfriend’s gaze is getting more and more clingy.
The nation’s top idol keeps wanting to give me private “tutoring.”
Even that science-crazed childhood friend doesn’t look as cold as she used to.
And the junior I’ve been looking after all this time seems to be looking at me strangely, too?
As I stare at the four of them blocking the doorway, I tremble in fear.
Me: I’m a powerful magical girl. I... I shouldn’t be afraid of the four of them, right?
System: Oh, I forgot to mention. If someone falls in love with you, the [Reverse Love Barrier] works in reverse.
Me: Meow!!!!!!
