It seems that most of the heroines in the animation always have to have something special to be remembered. Or strange life, or talent, or ill-fated, but also with three arrogant natural poisonous tongue Lori royal sister and wife and other "cute attributes" to have a "market". This article is written by Xia Shi Qianli @ Io Anime
Of course, these "attributes" are the unique charm of the second dimension, but it is inevitable that there will be aesthetic fatigue when you see more. At this time, the old thief of Maruto successfully created a "special" heroine - Kato Kei. "The Cultivation Method of the Passerby Heroine", from the name of the novel, can be seen that the "special" of this heroine lies precisely in her "ordinary".
The story begins with a fateful encounter. One day during spring break, when the male protagonist An Yilun was also riding a bicycle through the detective slope, a beret was lifted by the wind and rolled down in front of him, making him meet this girl who made his otaku heart flutter for the first time in the real world. This "fateful encounter" strongly stimulated his desire to create, giving birth to the idea of making a game with this girl as the heroine.
But it wasn't until he was thanked by a girl in his class for picking up a hat a month ago that he found out that this girl was his classmate— a very, very ordinary girl with a sense of existence close to zero.
A girl with no special skills and a warm and watery personality, this is the first impression given by Kato Kei. But as the plot unfolded, I gradually fell in love with her.
What first struck me was her tolerance. A girl who originally had no understanding of the second dimension was pulled into an inexplicable plan by an enthusiastic and frightening otaku, saying that she wanted to become the heroine of GALGAME, but she did not show disgust and resistance to "otaku" like most people - of course, there was not much enthusiasm, but said that she could understand this "world" that was strange to her. And this is not a perfunctory verbal, she really seriously played a lot of games recommended by Lun, and did not refuse the various requests of Lun and others. In order to help the community, she also learned simple programming and tried her best to do what she could.
Hui's personality is the same as the impression she gives, light, always calm and rational, but as long as you know her well enough, you can detect her subtle, occasionally flashing small emotions. This is actually an ordinary girl who is very kind, easy to talk to, and can get along well with anyone, but will also be sullen, disappointed, and sad. Blessing Software is a society that gathers talents with different personalities, and as an "ordinary person" in it, Hui's existence is like a glue, and he has been quietly concerned and concerned about everyone. She was the most determined and never gave up when the community was in the greatest crisis, and she supported him in the moment when Len was also weak, pulling the community back from the brink of disintegration. Unconsciously, she may not realize that she has paid more attention to this community than anyone else, and she has valued the bond between her and her partners.
In addition to the heroine Kato Kei, there are two main "harems": Sawamura Spencer Hideri, a typical arrogant woman of Mixed Chinese and English descent with blonde hair and double ponytails, who is both the Aomei Bamboo Horse of Ahn Yi Lunya and the ace illustrator of the fandom society Egoistic-lily, "Kashiwagi エリ"; Kasumigaoka Shiyu, a literary girl with long black straight and black silk legs, who has both royal sister and poisonous tongue attributes, and is also the author and professional writer of the best-selling light novel "Love Metronome" "Kasumi Shiko". With these two girls with both talent and beauty, and at the same time the "cute attribute" bonus, the status of the heroine Kato Kei is still not shaken in the slightest - in the novel, she is undoubtedly the "main palace", and is the first "real person" that the male protagonist An Yilun also fell in love with; in the third dimension, her popularity is also quite hot, capturing the hearts of thousands of otaku.
After the society's first game sold well and achieved success, the planning of the second game did not follow the style of the previous game. An Yilun also revealed the idea of the game he originally wanted to make - no need for a grand world view, no need for ups and downs of the plot, just simple, can make people naturally and sincerely like the heroine's love game. That was the mood he felt when he met her that day.
This is the charm of Kato Kei. Although ordinary, it is still cute, with a natural sense of intimacy, but also has the advantages of seriousness, gentleness, tolerance, strength and so on. She is like a real girl, who may have been ignored all the time, but as long as you know her a little, you can't help but want to make friends with her, and even like her.
