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

Haven’t all romcom lovers who enjoy light novels thought this before? Being all lovey-dovey with the heroine, and leading a fulfilling high school life with the best of friends.

I have no younger step-sister, no childhood friend, no classmate who’s an idol, no mysterious senpai, and not even a male best friend character. That being the case, what can I do? Obviously, I have to put it together myself! For a romantic comedy, you need both data analysis and constant practice! As well as…

A fake relationship with my favorite idol!?... more>>

Akira Sezai, the perfect idol.

She was my last hope, given that all the idols I admired were gradually stepping away due to issues ranging from revelations about boyfriends to allegations of harassment.

I told myself that she's the final idol I'll be supporting.

Suffering from gynophobia, getting physically close to a woman would make me ill. But I mustered up the courage to attend Akira's handshake event.

Despite my nervousness and stammering, something unusual happened that night—Akira, for some reason, barged into my house.

“Will you be my boyfriend?”

With her words, my everyday life dramatically changed. Her off-stage persona, which I had never witnessed before, gradually revealed itself to me.

However, she had a purpose other than just becoming lovers.

Just by spending time with the idol I merely admired, I found myself gazing at her dazzling brilliance and the abyss that lay beneath her.

I’m afraid of women, but at the same time, I yearn for them. And while shining as an idol, Akira seems to be heading for destruction.

What lies ahead of us as we pretend to be lovers? <<less

“Even though he said we’ll get married. Don’t you think he’s pretty mean?”

“When did he say that?”

“When we were 4 or 5 years old.”

“It’s probably impossible for that washboard to become a familiar.”... more>>

“Go to h**l!”

Eh, you’re jealous? Seriously? Then, how about I hand her over to you? First off, she has far too high expectations of her master. Not to mention, she’s a sore loser and really rebellious, and above all, flat-chested. If you’re really fine with that, then she’s all yours…

Ah, that was just a joke! Spare me, Fujiwara!

The world revolves around me.... more>>

My name is Sakagami Kagura. I’m incredibly cute, unbelievably intelligent, and my manners are utterly flawless. No diamond in the world could compare to my illustrious beauty. You could say that I simply put the rest of the world to shame with both brains and beauty.

Regrettably, someone such as myself is beset by troubles at every turn, just as a ill-fated protagonist of a story might be. My tendency to attract such misfortune is perhaps my one and only flaw. Mournfully, I sigh, raising my chin slightly so as to better catch the illumination of the streetlights. Even sighing, I must look simply exquisite.

Then, I give the stuffed rabbit in my arms a squeeze and focus my gaze on the two individuals in front of me, the source of my most recent plight. One is a black-haired young woman, the kind that would be idiotic enough to walk the streets this time of night. The other is a quite literally wolf-faced man. Naturally, he has her cornered. A werewolf and his prey.

My duty is to exterminate such horrific, inhuman creatures before they can wreak havoc on human society — using puppets such as this little fellow here…
