This novel is extremely dumb. The way this society seems to treat high school drop-outs as defective incompetents to the point that this dude gets chased away from a job that he's over-qualified for without them even checking his level of competence, and no matter how much he shows off his skill everyone just arbitrarily decides he's faking it or whatever... it's just so dumb. And I get it, you gotta start him off at a low point so that later he can "show the haters" with his dramatic, uplifting comeback, but, like... it is so, so dumb.All that being said, it's an entertaining enough read if you got some time to kill and you need something that doesn't make you think too hard. In fact, thinking at all would kill any enjoyment you might be able to derive from this novel. It's a type of novel I affectionately refer to as "brain-turn-offy" novels, like the junk food of reading.The plot is one I've seen a lot of in recent years: dude saves a pair of beautiful but misandrist sisters from something horrible happening to them (usually r*pe, but sometimes an accident or mu*der), prompting the sisters and their single mother, who happen to all 3 be perpetually h**ny yanderes, to all fall in love with him without knowing anything about him beyond that he had really good timing to show up when they were in trouble, and the physical ability to remove that trouble, and decide to share him amongst themselves. This one changes the formula up a bit with the MC already having a yandere sister beforehand in addition to the new mother-daughters trio so that has the potential to throw an interesting wrench in the formula, but other than that there's been a ton of these stories lately, and they're almost always brain-turn-offy.Long story short: it's a good read as long as you can turn off your higher brain functions for a little bit.
