Murong Yu is a very confident man – until he meets Han Xin.

There’s nothing he cannot get; there’s nothing he cannot destroy.

To let live or not, is all up to him.

He is the future ruler of Great Yan and so it’s only natural that the world should bow down at his feet.

But he had never thought that one day he would lose control of it.

That even his own will would be uncontrollable.

Murong Yu can neither get nor destroy this prisoner of war.

Han Xin has never given a care about the world – until he meets Murong Yu.

He has never cared about anyone, nor has anyone cared about him.

It doesn’t matter if you’re alone or sad, as long as you can still laugh, life will go on.

He has learned long ago how to not question, how not to believe, how not to lose and how not to care.

Destiny’s uncaring teasing and humiliations have already become numb to him.

That’s right, he doesn’t have a care in the world.

Even if it’s this Prince Royal of Great Yan who’s started to warm up to him. <<less

The rumours said: Young Master Mo prepared three hundred and sixty-five methods of torture to interrogate him with, just waiting to try them out on Gu Mang. They were so varied it was more than enough to toy with him for a year without repetition.

Except these rumours were very quickly forbidden by Young Master Mo. The reason given was that they described him as a lunatic, and were severely inconsistent with reality.

So what was the truth?

The truth was even more unspeakable—

Mo Xi’s identity: the most abstinent commander of the empire.

His relationship with the traitor Gu Mang: they’d slept together before. <<less

The bastard sword is a sword of moderate length. It’s slightly longer than a short sword, making precise handling a bit challenging. Compared to a long sword, its reach falls somewhat short, making winning in direct clashes difficult. Capable of everything, yet not particularly adept at anything. Embracing such a moderate bastard sword, I, Mongrel, a guild man and middle-aged fellow, had a dream. A dream of living leisurely in peace. With my abilities, I could use gifts to defeat strong magical creatures if I wanted, and with my modern knowledge, I could potentially transform this different world. However, I choose not to. Working casually at the guild, immersing myself in cooking and fishing... and if I can occasionally be of help to others, that’s more than enough. This is the tale of a moderately laid-back guy, an adventure that doesn’t seek too many adventures.” <<less

This stands at the forefront of strategy guides to Life (a shitty video game)!... more>>

Life is a bad video game. This commonplace phrase is, unfortunate as it might be, the truth.

After all, Life has no simple, easy rules. The rules it does have are nothing but irrational and unfair. The strong claim that Life has a high level of freedom, but the weak have no choice but to cope with an overwhelmingly disadvantageous design.

That’s why it’s a sh*t game.

Since I, Japan’s leading gamer who has experienced and mastered a multitude of games, say so, there can be no mistake.

— However, that person, on top of having mastered gaming to about the same level as I, declared to me that Life is a god-tier game.

Destined to be a top-tier character, that person is the school’s perfect heroine, Hinami Aoi. And to top it off, she even says she will teach me the rules of Life?

…… Normally, I wouldn’t believe such a thing. However, Hinami Aoi is someone who does not fit into a frame like ‘normal’ at all!

From the winner of the 10th Shogakukan Light Novel Award for Excellence. A low-tier character takes on life’s strategy guide, but with instruction from a pretty girl! <<less

She was the vice-president of the student council, Satsukawa Sara, who was known for her coldness towards others and her overly beautiful appearance, the “Lonely Goddess”.

But I know… her other side.

That she’s so kind, and has a very caring side.

“You’re getting too familiar, aren’t you? You guys… don’t get in the way!”

“From now on, I’ll be taking care of you every day at your house!”

“Here, I’ll fix your tie, but you have to stay put. If you move… Fu-fu-fu.”

W-Wait! Don’t do that in a public place!
