After the Friend-Zone, I Awakened the Girl Favor System

After the Friend-Zone, I Awakened the Girl Favor System Plot:

Lin Xiaoman is the “nicest guy” in college—he buys meals for classmates without asking for money, covers night shifts for roommates, and even his confession to Xia Wan, the girl he’s liked for three years, only gets him the friend-zone line: “You’re great, but we’re not right.” That night, he drinks himself into a stupor, and when he wakes up, there’s a “Girl Favor Panel” floating in front of him—it not only shows girls’ real-time favor towards him but also gives “anti-nice-guy missions”! His first test: when helping Su Xiaotang from the next class pick up her notebook, the system orders him to “refuse to buy her milk tea.” He does it hesitantly, but Su laughs: “You’re not a doormat? Cool,” and her favor jumps +10! But when he tries to use the system on Xia Wan, the panel flashes a red warning: “Deliberate pleasing = -20 favor.” What’s more, Su’s favor keeps rising secretly—she brings him hot cocoa when he pulls an all-nighter, gives him a thumbs-up when he refuses others, and even says seriously when he complains about the system: “I like the you who says ‘no,’ not some system.” When he finally drops the “nice guy” mask and tells Su, “I think I like you,” the panel dings—“Mission Complete: Find Your True Self”—and disappears. Only then does he realize: those friend-zone cards were never punishment; they were leading him to the person who sees his “imperfect” self.
