At least you must have imagined what it would be like, if you could live your life over again. Right? I'm not a hypocrite, so I've imagined it a few times. This time I got the opportunity like the protagonist of those Japanese novels that I often read. The problem is this is not “my” second chance at life. --- So, dear readers, the initial idea of this novel is: What if you woke up in an anime world? Not just the people, but even the logic of the world itself is different. For example, why do some beautiful women have a flower effect appearing around them when you look at their faces? Or how can someone who is extremely overweight make rapid muscle gains with just a little exercise? Here, our main character will experience a clash of concepts between the reality of this world and the logic of our own as he navigates daily life—one filled with comedy and intriguing moments (at least, I hope to make you feel that way!). As the title suggests, this is a story about a second life—but the twist is that it’s not the MC’s second life, but rather the body of a ghost burdened with many regrets, known as Mr. G. This is where the MC is tested, as he must help resolve the unresolved issues of Mr. G—problems that naturally involve the other characters in the story, from family and classmates to matters of love. Because I love classic visual novels, I plan to introduce many characters, each with their own unique traits and personal stories. So what are you waiting for? If you're interested, come and read! If you enjoy the story, I truly appreciate it and would be grateful if you could recommend this novel to your friends. If you don’t like it, I can only apologize for not meeting your expectations. Lastly, I’d love to hear any criticism or suggestions to help improve the quality of this novel for future enjoyment! That’s all from me—please enjoy the story!
