The Side Character’s Harem Route

(All Chapters are on an average of 2000 words with many being around 2500 words) Kamishiro Renji has always been the ideal supporting character — rich, handsome, academically perfect, and unfailingly reliable. In the popular galgame Love Bloom Academy, he is the tragic best friend who funds group trips, offers a shoulder to cry on, and politely steps aside so the dense protagonist can claim every heroine. Then one morning, everything changed. Renji awakened with the full memories of his previous life: a lonely, impoverished orphan who survived on dead-end jobs and escapism through galgames. Suddenly, the luxurious mansion, the loving family, and the flawless identity he possessed feel like an impossible second chance. For the first time, he realized he doesn’t have to follow the script anymore. No longer content to play the selfless wingman, Renji decided to live for himself. But breaking free from the role he was “written” to play isn’t easy. The world still expects him to be the perfect support who never takes center stage. And the dense protagonist, Hoshino Takumi, remains obliviously at the center of everything. In a story that was never meant to be about him, Renji is determined to write his own ending — one where he finally gets to enjoy the life, the family, and the girls he was always meant to watch from the sidelines. A slow-burn harem story about choosing yourself, cherishing what you have, and gently rewriting the script while also discovering that this world is much more than what Renji had previously estimated.
