    Hello! I am looking for a novel that actually have other characters besides the MC. Why do MC don't have proper friends? why can't others keep up with the MC? It's not like it's the most impossible thing. I am talking especially about the chinese novels with male protagonist that sprint to the top and then he is all by himself and then his "friends" worship him? Why? Actual friends don't do that! And female protagonists who are too cold to approach or can't trust others? Like YO! You human, you social being, you need POSITIVE interaction with other humans besides your family!

    Edit: No Harem please :blobmelt:

    Apparently, jade is cold to the touch. So it only makes sense that jaded beauties would be, too. :blobpats:

    try Japanese LN or slice of life. a lot of annoying friends there, ones that aren't important to the plot but got a lot of screen times.
    btw, fatties in CN is not so bad if you want friends in CN novels

    Having a social butterfly as a character only works in real literature

    In WNs where all your readers are angry social rejects or crazed fujoshi, depicting your characters as social is what I like to call a "novel" suicide

    It is a Japanese-Korean band with 12 members of which the 3 are Japanese and the rest are Korean.
    I mean the group both debuted in Korea and Japan in the span of four months.

    Bands are perfect money makers, just get enough people and different styles to appeal to a very wide audience.
    Different hair colors also help haha. AKB48..damn!!
    Lolicons must be shitting themselves, dont the members graduate at 18 or 20?

    @Yukino I apologize for hijacking your thread.This is my last post

    It really depends since many members graduated when they are nearing 30.
    And IZ*ONE have less Male Fans, but more Female Fans like the ration 3:7 and the youngest member of IZ*ONE are both 14 and 15.

    If you're willing to pay money, the Arcane Ascension Series by Andrew Rowe fits. MC is a suspicious introvert who had been taken out of school by his father to train him for gaining the ability to use magic. Afterward gaining the ability to use magic, in the compulsory Magic School, MC reconnects with some of his former friends and rebuilds friendships, discovering fairly early on that the letters he handed to his father to send were never sent.

    Not certain what to recommend here. Far too many of the stories translated here that I read have the basis of "MC is the best" in some fashion, and even if there are other true characters, they aren't necessarily friends with the MC.
