They don't actually think I like them, do they?

In just the first chapter, three female protagonists with distinct personalities have already appeared!

Bamboo Leaf Green doesn't even dare to think about what it might do next!

The most outrageous part is that the first two female characters, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, are quite different. Eriri is a famous beauty in the whole school, and secretly a super popular manga artist. Utaha is also a school beauty and academic genius with countless suitors, and secretly a super popular light novel author.

These two outstanding girls, they actually—

They all like the male lead!

Why? !

Other people's light novels only have one male and female protagonist, and their feelings for each other still need to be developed slowly!

This is great! They start off with two stunningly beautiful women who have 100% affection for the male lead right from the beginning, and the key is that the male lead is so dense that he doesn't notice!

Having worked in the industry for eight years and read countless manuscripts, Zhu Ye Qing had never seen anything like this before!

If the series of unexpected settings in the preceding chapters only made her feel that this book was unconventional, then...

So, based on what we've seen so far, we can conclude that...

This is a vulgar, pandering novel filled with the fantasies of hardcore otaku!

And the man in front of you is a perverted male author whose mind is full of lewd nonsense and who has endless lust for beautiful women!

No matter what, Zhu Yeqing found it hard to believe that Lin Han was that kind of person!

She could only give it a try, not only to be responsible for the work, but also to see if she could make the handsome young man turn back.

Having finished praising him, Zhu Ye Qing took a deep breath and prepared to offer his suggestions.

"Coffee teacher, if I may ask, who is the female lead?"

Lin Han pondered for a moment, "Kato Megumi."

Actually, as a manga with a distinctly romanticized style, there is obviously more than one female protagonist. But if we have to name one, since the title is "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend," then it's clearly the main heroine, Kato Megumi.

"What about Eriri and Kasumigaoka? Are they supporting characters?"

“They are also female leads,” Lin Han said seriously.

Zhu Ye Qing took another deep breath.

As expected, this is a novel with multiple female protagonists.

Bamboo Leaf Green looked at Snow Rabbit, unsure of what to say.

However, Yukito also gave her a helpless look, clearly thinking the same thing as Bamboo Leaf Green.

Zhu Yeqing was too embarrassed to directly say the words "pleasant to the otaku" to Lin Han, so he could only say it indirectly.

　"Coffee Teacher, I think love should be a gradual process. If the initial attraction is perfect, it might make readers less relatable..."

"I don't think it's right."

Lin Han interrupted Zhu Yeqing.

Lin Han smiled and said to Zhu Yeqing, "The story of Renya, Eriri, and the senior will unfold later in the novel. But there's a kind of love called love at first sight. You can't quite put your finger on what attracts you to him, but the first time you see him, the flutter in your heart won't lie. It tells you that this is the right person, and for him, you're willing to give everything..."

The boy spoke earnestly, his eyes seemingly shining.

Zhu Yeqing stared at Lin Han, momentarily stunned.

She quickly shook her head, trying to clear her head. "Coffee teacher, I think..."

"I think the coffee teacher is right!!"

Snow Rabbit slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and grabbed Bamboo Leaf Green's hand.

Bamboo Leaf Green was dumbfounded.

Snow Rabbit looked at Lin Han, its eyes gleaming.

"Some people, you just can't quite put your finger on what's so great about them, but the moment you see them, you're completely captivated... I think what Coffee Teacher said makes a lot of sense! Ah Qing, stop making things difficult for Coffee Teacher!"

"Me??? Making things difficult for him???" Zhu Yeqing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

She also turned her head to look at Lin Han.

Lin Han smiled slightly throughout, looking at them with a calm and detached expression.

He seemed to be bathed in a golden light, dispelling all evil thoughts.

The bamboo viper finally couldn't take it anymore!

What pandering to otaku, what pornographic garbage? How could Coffee Teacher be that kind of person?!

He clearly has his own unique way of thinking!

The coffee teacher is definitely right! Believe in the rest of the coffee teacher's story!

Lin Han stood up and bowed to the two of them.

"Teacher Zhuyeqing, this book is now in your hands!"

"..." Zhu Yeqing covered her flushed face, not daring to look at Lin Han anymore.

After half an hour.

Zhu Yeqing placed the complete manuscript on the editor-in-chief's desk, along with her comments:

"Reviewed, no modifications required, publication approved!"

007. This novel is addictive!

A few days later, the preview version of "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" was officially released on the official website of JC Light Novel Publishing.

At the end of each month, JC Staff releases the current version of the new work to be released the following month on its official website for readers to preview.

This can be understood as an official "new anime PV" released by the production company, designed to help readers quickly find the works they want to buy.

After all, physical books are different from online novels. Their most significant characteristic is that once you buy them, you can't return them. Even if they're dog shit, you have to grit your teeth and finish them.

Therefore, as a nationally renowned light novel publisher, this time of month attracts considerable attention from light novel enthusiasts, and the level of discussion is quite high.

When the title "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" appeared on the website's homepage, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

"'Coffee'? A new author? That's rare!"

"It even made it onto the homepage! What kind of backend is that?"

"What kind of ridiculous book title is this? Does the author think they're so cool?"

When it comes to new authors and new books, readers have always adopted the attitude of "question first, then question!"

The reason is simple: light novels are a relatively niche genre with much less competition than other genres, but they have a high reader engagement, so there have always been many authors who make a living from this genre.

However, these authors who want to make a living from light novels but lack a true love for them often write things that break down the defenses of light novel readers, thinking that as long as they write sentimental and romantic passages, they can manipulate light novel readers.

In fact, they have no idea what light novel readers want to read!

What everyone longs for is simply a pure and sweet love that can be imagined!

This is the true meaning of light novels!

Right now, this new book by a seemingly baffling author, despite its rather lowbrow title, sounds like a pure love story.

That alone is enough to make everyone click in and take a look.

After some time...

"Holy crap, guys, this book is addictive! I can't stop laughing!"

One netizen was the first to complain in the forum.

Soon, many readers began to respond.

"Not only can you not stop laughing, but your dick is rock hard too, huh?"

"Damn it, how can there be such a perverted novel! It's so embarrassing, but I can't stop reading it!"

"Eri is so cute!"

"Being two-faced is cute? Don't you think girls like that are just asking for trouble?"

"You don't know anything! This is called tsundere, okay?! This kind of personality is super cute, isn't it?!"

"Ahhh, my senior is so charming! I like her so much!!"

Soon, more and more people began to join the discussion about "Passerby".

At this moment, discovering this book is like discovering a new continent for them. It is a reading experience they have never had before, which is both novel and addictive!

.......

Li Chuan is a super-sophisticated light novel enthusiast.

How experienced is he exactly? He was already reading light novels when the concept of "light novels" was first introduced!

Li Chuan, who has been called a "homebody" by those around him since childhood, has always suffered from severe social anxiety.

He has no partner, only an open-world game on his phone.

However, even Li Chuan, influenced by anime and novels, has always dreamed of having a sweet love.

This is also why he likes to read light novels; that kind of pure and flawless love, untainted by any mud, seems to only exist in novels.

2:15 a.m.

Sitting on the bed, Li Chuan closed a light novel titled "The Love Traveler" in his hand.

"As expected of Tengchuan-sensei's new work, Miss Kong is so cute!" Li Chuan exclaimed sincerely.

The sweet, tingling love story in the book will give Li Chuan the sweetest dream tonight.

Li Chuan closed his book, put it back on his bedside table, and prepared to turn off the light and go to sleep, knowing he had class the next day.

Just then, my phone chimed with a "ding-dong" notification.

Li Chuan opened his phone and looked surprised.

It turns out that a preview version of the new book will be released next month.

Take a look before you go to sleep!

With this in mind, Li Chuan excitedly began browsing the homepage. However, this excitement quickly faded.

As a seasoned reader, I can tell what many works are about just by looking at the title, which makes them really uninteresting.

Just then, a book titled "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" caught my eye.

"New author, new book?"

Li Chuan felt somewhat curious.

What era are we living in? There are still people who come up with such plain and unpretentious light novel titles!

However, Li Chuan developed a rebellious attitude.

I insist on seeing it!

So Li Chuan clicked on it and tapped the screen with his finger to turn the pages.

Time passes minute by minute.

The room was silent, save for the dim light from the bedside lamp casting a long shadow of the boy on the wall. Occasionally, the shadow could be heard chuckling as he read.

This silly grin was not only stupid, but also a little lewd. It would startle him every now and then in the small room.

By the time Li Chuan realized what was happening, half an hour had passed.

He sat up abruptly in his deathbed, his expression frozen.

"what's the situation??"

He looked at the text on his phone and his heart suddenly tightened.

This book actually has three female protagonists, and the female protagonists are even throwing themselves at the male protagonist!

Is this pure love?!

This is clearly a vulgar, pandering novel!

From Li Chuan's perspective as a seasoned light novel reader, he simply cannot accept that such a thing is called a light novel!

but.....

Li Chuan glanced at his phone screen, recalled the plot, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips again...
