Synopsis
Onoda Ruki presents himself as a background character in his own high school life, striving to remain an unremarkable 'Classmate A.' However, he harbors a hidden ambition to seduce and steal the romantic interests of other men. This novel leans heavily into the wish-fulfillment and scheming protagonist tropes common in urban harem dramas and school-based romance stories. It is aimed at readers who enjoy narratives centered on romantic competition and social conquest. Those seeking genuine magical realism or a wholesome, slow-burn romance should skip it, especially as the author explicitly notes the lack of actual magic despite the genre tags. With its current focus on social manipulation, the story promises a fast-paced climb from anonymity to influence, though it remains in its very early stages of development.

Editorial Review
The premise of a protagonist who consciously chooses the role of a background character provides a decent hook for a character-driven social drama. There is a clear direction for the narrative, focusing on the tension between Ruki's public persona and his private ambitions. However, the most glaring issue is the extreme lack of content; with only three chapters available, it is impossible to judge the actual execution of the character growth or the quality of the romantic arcs. Furthermore, the contradictory genre tagging—listing magical realism while the author explicitly states there is no magic—indicates a lack of editorial polish. At this stage, the work is a mere skeleton of a story. It requires significant development and a consistent update schedule before it can be recommended as a substantial read.
