A Blind Date with My Archrival, the Magical Girl

It's still a bit disheartening. After chatting with the author last night, and being bored late at night, I did some digging into SF's situation. I discovered that since Yuanhe Ventures and other investors withdrew in September 2023, the website has been declining. The number of employees receiving social security benefits plummeted from 80 to 45 in 2023-2024 (all information is from Tianyancha and Aiqicha, and the sources are legal)... SF's current structure is indeed unsuitable for authors aiming to work full-time. I can only say that their choice was reasonable.

Oh no, I think I've turned into a twisted monster. The more upright Lian Ge is right now, the more I want to see her corrupted and turn evil by the protagonist. Then, by the time the protagonist realizes what's happening, it'll be too late to save her. He can only watch his upright childhood friend meet her end, and then she'll torture the protagonist from time to time, saying it's because of Lian Ge that she's become like this.

Finally updated! It's a book I really like. The website crashed on the first day it was released; the author is so unlucky. Since that's the case, I'll reward you by letting you stay on the bestseller list for a few days. Keep it up!

The explosive popularity of Magical Girl Suihana was just a pipe dream 😭😭😭

I thought the author was writing while pursuing a master's degree, and I figured an extra thousand or two in living expenses each month would make life much more carefree. Turns out, it's a full-time job? After graduating, John Khan Jr. Also worked part-time instead of becoming a full-time streamer; he found a job. Liu Cixin wasn't a full-time writer when he wrote *The Three-Body Problem* either; being a full-time writer is just too difficult.

I don't want someone to die right after being recommended!

The first thing I saw on the homepage recommendation was an apology chapter [sfem:4:325].

Sigh, maybe it's because I've reached the age where I need to find a job. The most upsetting part of reading this novel was the protagonist's financial situation being cut off. The job offer being blocked and the magical girl's treatment really made me feel resistant, greatly reducing my liking for the female lead, the association, and Chabi.

After my identity is exposed, I'll have to get married, have kids, pay the mortgage, the car loan, and become a real wage slave.

This kind of devil is truly something else. Knowing full well that magical girls can be corrupted, yet failing to provide even the most basic financial support, they actively jump into the cesspool to earn money and increase the probability of being corrupted. It's hard to convince the public unless you chop them into mincemeat!
