   [Block] 22.10.1 The story revolves around the male protagonist's journey through different worlds and his efforts to "correct" the distorted values ​​of a yandere girl. Through the protagonist's words, the author explains the reasons behind various forms of yandere characters in contemporary novels and offers solutions. The highlight lies in the male protagonist's mature understanding and correct methods of correction, as well as the clashes, battles, and counterattacks between his values ​​and those of the yandere and scumbag men in various situations. He is rational yet warm, optimistic yet profound, and possesses extremely upright values, making him a male protagonist worthy of being called a life mentor. Of course, as the saying goes, "Yanderes don't disappear, they just move on." When the yanderes, whose values ​​have been corrected and transformed by the male protagonist, return to the present world, what kind of sparks will they create with their former "mentor" the male protagonist? 23.9.5 The harem fandom was betrayed by the author; the story became boring in the later stages, and then the author suddenly turned into a literary youth? This is the first novel I followed that turned me against.

   This is one of the few novels I've recently finished reading, not because it's incredibly brilliant, but because it's "normal." The book is generally logically sound, with a complete plot structure and foreshadowing that echoes each other. It has a smooth start and landing, plus occasional little surprises, which naturally makes you want to keep reading. Of course, I always felt the ending left me wanting more. The male protagonist doesn't use physical attraction to play hard to get, nor does he resort to any means to win someone's heart. He's not a self-serving egoist, nor is he a selfless saint. This is a small story, revolving solely around him and them. He is restrained and tormented, prioritizing responsibility. His choices in his past life were to force others to give up; his choices in his rebirth are to respond to their persistence. They are stubborn and obsessive, willing to do anything for the male protagonist, both fighting and caring for each other. Such an ideal love triangle can only be attributed to the boundless power of the "Wishing Stone." Perhaps, there is still time for them to understand, fight, and accompany each other.

   22.10.1 It must be said that the male protagonist, who broke free from his childhood prison and turned the tables on his parents by exposing their drug use and human trafficking, is the most deeply hidden yandere. No wonder he was able to easily defuse the traps set by his yandere sister after growing up and being reborn. His extraordinary maturity and rationality are inextricably linked to his tragic childhood, but in any case, reading and learning are the true keys to self-improvement. The seemingly casual details in the early episodes lead to a series of plot twists and turns, leaving one wondering whether it's a victory for the male protagonist or a win-win situation for the hidden yanderes.

The male protagonist, reborn with exceptional autonomy, is determined to protect those around him, actively improve himself, and is a goal-oriented action-taker. The story, spanning from middle school and high school to university, depicts his studies, entrepreneurship, family relationships, and romantic love quite well.

   [Abandoned the book] Up to Chapter 20 [Abandoned the book] P. S. Considering the author and the target audience, I'll refrain from venting in the comments section if I can't stand a book due to subjective reasons. This book list has few readers, so I'll just treat it as a record. The author transmigrates into his abandoned novel, starting with a forced contract binding him to the final boss, the Demon King, as his wife. Along the way, he tries various ways to get closer to her, hoping she'll side with him. Then, during the conflict between humans and demons, he instantly sides with the human race. And then, surprisingly, the relationship between the protagonist, who initially seems like a burden, and his Demon King "wife" gradually improves... 1. The characters are immature and lack experience. Putting aside the awkwardness of the plot, the male lead's superficial concern and self-pity lack any real basis. And the fact that the demon queen is actually moved by his childish behavior feels like a complete drop in intelligence. 2. Generally speaking, even if an ordinary person with a cheat code is given a cheat code, it would be difficult for them to take on a great responsibility. They would find it unpleasant and difficult to create. 3. Improvements in quality and subsequent patches are possible.

   [Updates suspended on 22.12.3] A true "chasing-after-husband" scenario. Judging from the synopsis, there might be some romantic subplots later on, but currently the male lead is only focused on profit. The highlights are the female leads' repentance and the male lead's relentless climb up the tower of power. The anticipation lies in the male lead's potential redemption later on. Selfishness is not something to be promoted, yet it is something one cannot do without. In the first playthrough, I died from poison in a kiss, and then my innocence was gone forever. In the second playthrough, he commits suicide in prison, and then his compassion and ideals are gone forever. In the third playthrough, he appears as an extreme egoist, yet he manages to take control of his own destiny. This is the armor that cold era imposed on everyone; the blazing flames can only kill him, not make it fade away. P. S. I personally enjoy harem novels with happy endings and harmonious relationships, but unfortunately, after searching for a while, I was repeatedly bombarded by characters with low intelligence, broken plots, and frivolous writing styles. It's so frustrating! PSP. It's hard to find books with a harem/Japanese theme that's bland and have a charming male lead these days.

   [Updates suspended on April 9, 2023] A promising young author with a proven track record; his character is reliable. (P. S. My livelihood is insecure.) Currently, it appears to be a harem story with no system, no rebirth, no cheat codes, no frustration, and the protagonist is a complete harem who collects all the characters from the beginning. There are two main highlights: First, the heartwarming daily life of the male lead and the two sisters is incredibly sweet and full of life; second, the harem (not just the two sisters). From the first ten chapters, the male lead appears to be an independent, reliable, and devoted character. With a loving husband and a sister-in-law, and even the possibility of him taking in more women later on, the writing must be exceptionally well-developed to maintain logical consistency. Therefore, I eagerly await the author's work. P. S.: Someone plagiarized this book, but the author immediately went to try and revive it; I wonder if he's still alive. Please note that this is the original author.

   [Forced to end quickly] The sweet romance between a devoted maid and a young master, the domineering yet romantic, childlike yet mature and rational male lead—it's all totally my type! Around chapter 18, there are points that readers may find displeasing and controversial. I initially found it difficult to read, but gradually I accepted it. Because the author's theme is redemption, this part is adapted from a friend's true story. I felt saddened by the powerlessness in the face of reality, but also delighted by the protagonist's miraculous arrival (see author's post-launch notes). This book seems more like the protagonist dancing gracefully in the dark, with the light illuminating the surrounding silhouettes as he moves. Some accompany him in his dance, some turn around to play music, some rise and sit down, and we, the audience, are generous with our applause. The author weaves his life experiences into this book; within the novel, it's the protagonist's redemption, while outside, the author fills in the void left by his own regrets. As the author's release note states, it's like the essence left after burning oneself out. This sincerity is invaluable, not to mention the excellent writing style. Impression: Everyday life in a relationship + redemption + the constant back and forth between reason and romance

    [Abandoned the book] Up to Chapter 55 [Abandoned the book] P. S. Dropping a book is a subjective decision and doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. I was able to continue reading because of my personal appreciation of its merits, but dropped it because of subjective flaws. This book is quite good among "light" novels, but I personally don't like this kind of "lightness." Up until I dropped it, there were neither memorable highlights nor well-paced emotional development; it was very flat, like a pond with only ripples and slight disturbances. Aside from the plot structure and writing style, the world-building felt particularly thin, and the characters' intelligence seemed suppressed. Add to that the occasional typos and grammatical errors, and it's difficult to feel immersed. It seems the author is currently working on two projects simultaneously, which is understandable, but such a division of energy inevitably affects the polishing of the work. In short, it's easy and enjoyable to read, but upon reflection, it doesn't leave much of an impression or teach you anything. The upper limit of the content is largely set, so it's neither enjoyable nor worth abandoning.

    [No updates on 22.12.20] It's too young, I'm afraid it might be cut short, but the overall impression is good. The emotional descriptions are delicate, and the male lead, after being reborn, does indeed act quite maturely. The "Young Lady Girlfriend" storyline involves the male lead's struggle to prevent himself from turning evil; the "Childhood Sweetheart Underground Party" storyline is bittersweet; the "Livestream" storyline is incredibly exciting; and the "Senior Girl" storyline features a battle of wits between riddle-solving characters. All the storylines are still just beginning to unfold, and I can already imagine an entire movie (not really). P. S. I hope this story gets popular and isn't abandoned, because the author has two prior convictions. These days, is it even a pipe dream for a novel to have a smooth run? It's all about not having enough readers, not having good writing skills, etc. PSP. Wow, the number of new books I'm following on my reading list is increasing so fast... I can only say that I won't follow authors with a history of not finishing their books.

    [Updates suspended on November 7th] This is a fanfic featuring a character named Ke. The story begins with the male protagonist transmigrating into a novel and becoming a witch's puppet. The two then rely on each other and fall in love. The adventure and battles then unfold, guided by the female protagonist. There are also characters who redeem a merman similar to his past self, and others who help the original female protagonist who harbors lofty ideals. However, unexpectedly, these friends have ulterior motives, causing the initially seemingly single-female-lead theme to potentially shift towards a harem. Although she is a female author, she is not only known for her romance; her world-building and power systems, her insights and experience, and her control over the plot are all quite impressive. Her work includes moments of hardship and drama, as well as moments of passion and sweetness. It is romantic yet grand, gentle yet strong. Currently, the male protagonist only has one lover and a few friends in his eyes; everyone else is merely a puppet on a string. His image of being both tolerant and domineering towards the female protagonist is so compelling it makes one want to roll around in bed, grinning foolishly. (Exaggerated, perhaps.) However, this book is still in its infancy; what we truly look forward to is a magnificent ending.
