Chapter 107: Shelf Speech
Hello everyone, I’m Yi Wei Crab.
After a month, the day has finally come for this book to go live. As per tradition, I should say a few words, and this book is no exception, so let me have a chat with everyone.
The previous book I completed was originally planned to be a story set in a cyberpunk background, but the editor, considering the audience issue, advised me to switch to another genre. In the end, I gave up on that idea.
Conveniently, I also wanted to try writing something more light-hearted and fun, without any knives and heavy content, so I eventually chose this romance novel with a Japanese light novel style.
The general background of this novel comes from the last book I had to abandon due to health reasons, but whether it is the story or the character design, everything has been completely changed and turned into something entirely different.
At the heart of it, the most fundamental inspiration for this story actually comes from the anime "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War."
I really like the concept of "love is a battlefield" in it, which aligns with the main storyline of the male protagonist Yan Huan and various female protagonists with modifiers, strategy, opposition, and romance.
The concept of love games is not only present in "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War", many works have written about it. Even the addition of the Golden Finger element is not uncommon at the starting station, which is why I introduced the concept of "weird Golden Finger"...
If the female protagonists possess the dangerous Golden Fingers found in Japanese animes, then the strategic games the male protagonist faces will undoubtedly become more perilous and interesting. I like this aspect very much.
So, as the male protagonist who will be using the modifier, he must have extraordinary attractiveness: good looks, a pleasant personality, and a healthy constitution.
Conversely, it makes sense that if the female protagonist in an anime were an ugly girl with a nauseating personality, as a male protagonist, you probably wouldn’t even want to use the modifier at all, right?
