Can't you just leave me alone?
Hara Kei loves being alone. No—“loves” doesn’t quite capture it; it’s more accurate to say he treasures solitude.
He isn’t naturally antisocial or averse to humanity. It’s just that whenever he interacts with others, he must expend some degree of thoughtfulness, bend his will in small ways, and occasionally do things he doesn’t want to do. He refuses to compromise in this way. There are only twenty-four hours in a day, and he wants every single minute to belong entirely to himself.
To him, being completely absorbed in something he loves—so immersed that he only notices the world again as the sun sets—is true happiness. In a normal world, if he were just an ordinary person, he could probably live a peaceful, untroubled life, quietly like a plant, content with simplicity.
But this is not a normal world. Far from it. Hara Kei has transmigrated into the universe of an open-world romance simulation game—and he just so happens to be the protagonist of this world.
And so—“I mean, don’t you all like me a little too much? Can’t you just let me be alone for once?”
