The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.

8 250The Bad Boy's Love
It's easy to fall, sabi nga nila. Yung ibang tao, nahuhulog sa panlabas na anyo o kaya yung ugali ng isang tao. Yung iba, sinasabi nilang mahal nila ang isang tao pero ang tanong ko, alam ba nila ang tunay na pag-ibig? Para sa akin, mahirap mahulog lalo na sa taong matigas ang puso. Ano kayang pakiramdam na nahulog sa iyo ang isang taong hindi mo type? Pogi siya pero hindi ka tumitingin sa panlabas na anyo dahil tumitingin ka sa panloob na anyo, masama naman ang ugali niya, paano ka mahuhulog sa taong ito?
