Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun
yaku yuuki, 屋久ユウキ
This stands at the forefront of strategy guides to Life (a shitty video game)! 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!

Completed Magika no Kenshi to Shoukan Maou
mihara mitsuki
15 years ago the world discovered magic as well as mythical beings (basically beings from various legends) in another dimension. Humankind learned to summon these dangerous mythical beings and use their power to great effect. Seven countries formed contracts with these “mythical beings” and gained their allegiance as a result. The mythical beings will choose their summoners on their 14th birthday and give them a stigma. Schools have been set up to train summoners and magical swordsman (basically bodyguards that give the summoners time to cast their spell) as a result. 15 years later after the finding of magic Kazuki Hayashizaki is chosen as a summoner and given a stigma to indicate that. This is surprising since males aren’t chosen as summoners due to their low amount of mana compared to females. As the first male to be a summoner Kazuki is under a lot of scrutiny by almost everyone. To complicate matters his sister (who’s a magical swordsman) is against him going into summoner school to train there as a summoner. Because summoners and magical swordsman have a cat mouse thing going on where summoners look down on magical swordsman as inferior so his sister naturally is against him going there. She’ll stop him even if it means going to war. Kazuki however is determined to thrive in summoner school and has already determined to give it his all. Even if he’s the lowest ranked student (ranked E) and his fellow students intend to demean him he’ll prove himself as the strongest summoner.
Completed The Story of a Man Who Is Reincarnated as the Shi*tiest Guy in a Doujin, but the Heroine Keeps on Coming Close to Him
myon, みょん
Suddenly I remembered. This is the world of the adult manga I had originally read, and that I myself am the one who plays the role of the man who steals the heroine away from the protagonist. I don’t have that kind of taste, so please let the heroine get along with the protagonist. That’s what should have happened… So why the hell are they bothering with me?!
The System for Mentoring Villain Bosses
shanhu shu, 珊瑚树
Ever since Su Tian had transmigrated, she received a “Villain Bosses Mentoring System” that could automatically identify villainous bosses IN THE MAKING. As for her missions, they were a little more complicated. For example: Stopping the boy in her class from deviating onto the path of becoming a villain; Turn the boy who was going to create a global financial crisis into Jack Ma of the new world; Talk the strange girl working at the toy shop out of her spending habit, because she will be the cause of hyperinflation! And the boy from the countryside that she ran into, please give up on developing bioweapons! Why don’t you focus on the Nobel Prize instead? Just when Su Tian thought all the little villains were growing straight up into upstanding people under her “education of love”, the small villains brought about a big villain… The young man has slender arms and legs and he cornered her into the restroom. He looked deeply into her eyes said, “I also need …” Su Tian shuddered, “What… what do you need?” “The education of love,” said the young man meaningfully! Ten minute later, Su Tian… was educated. System: This system is only responsible for identifying villains IN THE WORK. Matured villain are outside of its parameters.
