Guest chapter 104 . 7/9
Wait, so you deleted those other stories of yours ? How come ?
Guest chapter 104 . 7/4
Did you delete your stories because of my review on the Orimoto story saying that you are stalling? I wasn't trying to be mean or anything, but fuck dude you didn't have to delete the whole thing? I'm sorry if I caused you any problem if not I will leave you alone.
thetyrant67 chapter 104 . 6/4
DUDE. THIS IS AN AMAZING CROSSOVER! THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER SO WELL. I HOPE THAT BY TYPING IN CAPS I WAS ABLE TO EMPHASIZE THAT I REALLY LIKED THIS CHAPTER!
CMY187 chapter 103 . 6/4
Listening to this as I start the review:

Anime Creative Music Volume 1: A Normal Day (by xAnimeFanKingdom on Youtube)

“It took three additional months to set up”
Wait, WHAT?
“this room of dire requirements”
I love any scenes or chapters that are from Yukino’s perspective.
“gathered the lost lambs”
I suspect that this was a hilarious plotline in itself.
“Raku Ichijo”
Ah, the protagonist of Nisekoi. I enjoyed that manga mainly for the comedic art style. Also, I hated the ending. While I like Chitoge, I consider her to be the worst possible choice. To me, Chitoge was so much better as a friend to Raku that she ever was as a love interest.
“Yukinoshita-san kinda scares me”
An Oregairu/Nisekoi crossover. Please tell me there is one.
“Ryuuji Takasu”
Protagonist of Toradora. Never read that one. I’ve got a lot of manga-reading to do. So be it. (opens tab in phone) 74 chapters…
“an actual member of the Yakuza”
Oof. Yeah, let me guess; go through university, get a good career which would allow for more opportunities for the Yakuza Clan/subsidiary-family that they work for.
“Takumi Usui”
Protagonist of Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama! (opens tab in phone) 87 chapters. Goddammit.
“but it was fake as hell”
HA!
“Tamaki Suoh”
Of Ouran High School Host Club. And it’s 83 chapters…
“Keima Katsuragi”
Ah, this one I know. I love Keima so much.
Might as well share it here:
My thoughts on the prospect of an Oregairu/The World God Only Knows crossover:
START:
Hachiman is not Keima. He is not a highly skilled veteran dating sim player. Also, in my opinion, Hachiman has more of a conscience than Keima (Keima is a VERY manipulative person to a point where he almost seems like a high-functioning sociopath at times. I am very curious of what a dynamic between him and Iroha would be like)
The crossover wouldn’t need to have the exact same overall plot-line. Instead, there could just be a story in which Hachiman is forced by necessity to manipulate, control and capture the emotions of the girls (and possibly grown women) around him.
He’d HATE something like that. He’d loathe every single minute of it. Imagine him having to actively and knowingly pursue romance/love with the Oregairu female characters one by one, with each one losing their memories of the experience afterward (or not…)
Sagami. Ebina. Yumiko. Meguri. And the four who actually love him, and whom he’d find the most painful to knowingly court.
…Komachi. Yes. Any writer who goes there, Hachiman at that point may contemplate suicide.
Finally, it CANNOT be lust. It HAS to be strong feelings/emotions of love and devotion; wanting to be with Hachiman permanently.
END.
(looks up) When I shared this on an Oregairu-related Discord chat, I received a reply from an Oregairu fanfic-writer: ‘I’m cruel like most who write Hachiman fics, but even I am not that cruel.’
“tapping his fingers away at a god-like speed”
Satou Kazuma: ‘Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right! There you go!’
“a mike borrowed from the music club”
She stole it, didn’t she?
“clear, crisp and most importantly cold”
Never change, Yukino.
“to discuss the minutia of your hubris”
Yukino doesn’t hold back.
“Soma Yukihira”
Oh my God, how many characters are going to be in this story!
Alright, fine…(looks up the name) protagonist of Shokugeki no Soma. And it’s 315 CHAPTERS WHAT THE HELL.
“Shirou Emiya”
I really need to get on with watching/reading Fate/Stay Night one day. You know what, I will. 24 episodes, here I come.
“Yukinon, in simple language. Please”
I would love to just follow Yui and Yukino in university.
“Saki Kawasaki had lost her patience”
I have nothing but love for Kawasaki. She deserves better than the treatment that the Oregairu anime gave her.
“oh wait, he started back again. Kawasaki hated that guy”
I cackled at this. This crossover is just too good. Betrayed Dreams, you could spend YEARS just writing a sit-com-esque story of the (mis)adventures and dramas that these characters could get up to and find themselves in within and beyond Tokyo U.
“Is that…No dammit!”
HA!
“Kyo Sohma”
Fruits Basket? Alright, why not? (looks it up) 136 chapters, but at least it’s complete…oh wait, there’s a sequel…I think I’m going to cry.
“That woman has a problem remembering names”
I love this so much.
“Sousuke Sagara”
Full Metal Panic! Hm, seen that title around, but never got round to the series. Guess I’ll have to change that. 58 chapters? This may be one of the ones that I’ll read first.
“No, that was me”
The moment I read this line, I guessed/hoped who it would be.
“Yuuji Kazami”
Dammit, Yuuji, what did you do to cause the girls of Mihama Academy to start looking at Hachiman instead?! You’re an awesome dude in your own right! Don’t tell me even SACHI’S starting to pay more attention to…huh. Now there’s a thought; Sachi who obeys every command she is given to the goddamn letter spending time with Hikigaya Hachiman.
“I thought it was a box cutter”
Thanks a lot, Sakaki Yumiko.
“that they don’t have time in their lives to look out for their romantic interest”
Would Haruno find love in university?
“Houtarou Oreki left”
This made me laugh. Also, Hyouka…unfortunately, every video version of it I’ve found online is unplayable. I have read some of the manga, though. I should get back to it; it looks like it’s right up my alley.
“Kyon…Haruhi”
I really, really hate that my computer just refuses to play Haruhi Suzumiya. I need to persist, though. Or just read the manga.
“Miyuki Shirogane”
THIS ONE I KNOW. Even though I haven’t watched or read the anime or manga…but still! Big thanks to ZeroxSeed for their Oregairu/Kaguya-sama: Love is War crossovers. Chika is the best.
“too many similar sounding names”
ARE there any other fictional characters with the name Hachiman or Hikigaya?
“In one fell swoop, he came in and played with the hearts of three women”
Hachiman is truly his own worst enemy. I can see Yui and Yukino face-palming, Kawasaki scowling and running a hand through her hair, and Iroha grinning in both bemusement and RAGE…
“And now he is making me lose my edge in basic mathematics!”
This massive-crossover is going to be absolutely hilarious, isn’t it?
“Kamijou Touma”
Of Toaru Majutsu no Index. 148 chapters…I hate you, Betrayed Dreams.
“It was Tobe. Who the hell invited him?
HA!
“God, I can’t believe I said that”
Sagami is way too overlooked by the Oregairu fanfic-writer-dom in my opinion.
“all the relevant and noteworthy people from Soubu High”
…ouch. That’s low.
“”I am okay with using violence. Hayama said with a smile”
I love Hayama Hayato. He still is one of the very best characters of the Oregairu series.
“Tomoya Aki”
How To Raise a Boring Girlfriend. I read the manga AND watched the anime, and personally I absolutely approve of the ending. Also, Michiru is a useless character who adds nothing to the series in my opinion. No wonder the anime left her out of most of it. Also, the fourth-wall breaks in the anime are hilarious.
“a new game that would get the approval of Keima Katsuragi”
That’s a crossover right there; Tomoya being involved with (or without!) Keima in the necessary capturing of the love and affection of the opposite sex.
“I secretly – I mean, accidentally videotaped senpai”
That’s a crime, Iroha.
“Here, let’s watch!”
Iroha is evil.
“Koyomi Araragi”
Bakemonogatari. Gotta watch the anime.
“to notice the expression on the women’s faces”
How much did you laugh while writing this?
“senpai discovered the hidden camera”
Does he suspect Iroha? She is hardly the only dubious person in the university after all.
“Yato”
Noragami…too much, Betrayed Dreams. But I welcome it. Thank you for spurring me to dive into the world of anime and manga. God protect me.
“I think you are not understanding the gravity of this situation”
Yukino does NOT like that so many women are now interested in Hachiman, platonically or romantically.
“Did that deadbeat just teleport?”
Ha! Poor Hachiman! Would he ever have a moment’s peace in university?
“They were terrified of her”
Ebina must be having the time of her life in this story. I want her to serve as a narrator.
“Arima-kun, that piano needs tuning”
I love this.
“Kousei Arima”
Your Lie in April. Dammit, I need to read/watch that. You know what, I’ll watch it, I wanna listen to the songs.
“banging the keys to the piano to make himself less miserable”
Goddammit, guys! If you want to undo what has been done, you need to listen to the female former students of Sobu High and get your act together!
“something about changing the whole dynamic of the dating sim experience”
Tomoya, Ebina and the TERRIBLE WRITER that is Zaimokuza Yoshiteru working together. Poor Tomoya.
“He was pretty much a weeb”
I love Tomoya Aki, honestly. He is an underrated anime protagonist, and How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend is an underrated anime.
“More piano banging continued”
HA!
“a loner who had discovered the secret to dealing with a tsundere”
Hachiman’s not a kid anymore. He’s a young adult, and he damn sure isn’t going to let some tsundere woman push him around. This is where Satou Kazuma nods in approval. Oh my God, imagine Kazuma as a grown-up.
“Kazuya Kujo”
Gosick? I’ve never even heard of this one. Set in a European-esque country in 1924? Protagonist’s a detective? Hell yeah I’m reading/watching this one.
“as his roommate”
Hmm. Now I really need to read Gosick. Sadly, I just tried and I can’t find the anime; my country won’t allow the playing of it online here in Singapore.
“Show’s what they know”
I love this.
“Takumi Hijirihara”
Danganronpa. A video game series? And Takumi is the protagonist of Gaiden: Killer Killer.
“Motoko Kusanagi”
Ghost in the Shell. Never read or watched it. I’m getting dizzy just listing all these.
“make it into a twisted and rotten version of his own My Romantic Comedy Snafu (Tokyo U Edition)”
I approve of this.
“Option 1…Option 2”
I have to say I don’t think I should be picking any options, at least at this point.
I look forward to this crossover, though I have to say that I’m more intrigued by Three Coffins. Still, always enjoying your work, Betrayed Dreams.
CMY187 chapter 102 . 5/31
“didn’t believe in wild conspiracies and baseless theories”
Which means she probably scoffs at people who see Haruno as someone who has contacts in the criminal underworld. Also, Yukino in my opinion would be simultaneously very good and very bad at being a lawyer, because sometimes people need a lawyer who is less like her and more like Saul Goodman.
Also, in a law enforcement agency, Hachiman would probably be willing to conduct illegal/unauthorized surveillance and wiretaps and then later pass off the intel as having come from a confidential informant, while Yukino likely wouldn’t.
“she got into Tokyo U on her very first attempt”
This is an incredible accomplishment considering that Yui in Sobu High is not a very great student.
Also, what do the university students do on campus and/or in the city on days in which there are no classes?
“there was indeed a God left in this world”
Dr Gregory House: ‘You talk to God, you’re religious. God talks to you, you’re psychotic.’
“who looked out for people with kindness in their heart”
This is where Hachiman snorts and turns away.
“her one weakness in the entire world”
I’ve noticed that in Oregairu, the only one out of Hachiman’s four love interests who is not seen shopping is Kawasaki Saki. Makes sense considering her family’s finances and that she sews her own clothes. I’m guessing that for her, being in Tokyo U is not a vacation. She’s got a family to support. For Yui, it’s to remain close to the people she loves and cares for. For Yukino, it is to maximize her education in her journey to become someone who could better the world. (looks at Iroha) …I’d say it’s to gain the qualifications necessary for a career that would serve as an effective front for any future criminal activities.
“with a scowl on her face”
Nah, that’s just her default expression. She scowls at almost everybody. A person who is like that tends to be revealed to be someone who lives in fear.
“then said the most outrageous thing Yukino ever heard”
Yukino’s jealous, isn’t she? Yumiko and Ebina being around means Yukino would have to share Yui-time.
“took off her clothes and curled herself in the sofa of her home”
Is this an old habit of hers; not wearing any clothing while in the privacy of her home? I suppose that’d make sense; Yukino likely was subjected to a lot of restrictions while living with her parents and would highly cherish her freedom and independence.
“seeking to reinvent herself in university”
Oh man, Haruno as a university student. Now there’s something to think about.
“I changed my mind”
…why?
“not going abroad…transfer to Tokyo U”
She enjoyed the events of Oregairu too much, didn’t she?
“Really, nothing phased this woman”
Why is that?
“making some mental note of whether there had been some changes in her physique”
Hachiman, Haruno and Kawasaki are all older siblings. I wonder if, in that category, they would be compared to each other.
“Then her father walked in”
And Haruno made no effort to warn him that his other daughter is naked…
“no choice but to pretend”
I don’t blame her, they definitely wouldn’t have approved.
“now she would be a problem”
…yeah. This issue of Yukino’s relationships with her parents may never truly be resolved. She’d always be affected and partially shaped by said relationships alone.
“two terrible piece of information”
I love that Yukino received the news of Shizuka and Meguri like that.
“most absurd and horrible taste in men”
Hachiman would disagree, having told Shizuka that the reason she is unmarried is because most men nowadays do not have good taste in women.
“now a respectable teacher in Tokyo U”
Would she be allowed to drink and/or smoke with the students?
“Megurin is into younger guys”
A lot of women are, actually. Guess that’s one similarity between men and women. By the way, even to this day, there are people both male and female who are HORRIFIED at the thought of it being possible for women to have sexual fantasies. Even as recently as the 70s, society treats it like something that one ought to be shocked to hear about. (shrugs) What, like women can’t have libidos like men do?
Being in university would open up story-opportunities that would not be available in a high school environment. It’s why I wish more animes would have university-stories instead of high school ones.
“hardly seemed like a place to pursue such kinds of adventures”
I’d love to know how so many characters end up graduating high school and going to the same university. Imagine being a faculty member who has to supervise and manage all those students. Reading the background files/dossiers alone…
“wait that doesn’t sound right – it feels like I am being corrupted by a foreign influence”
…Yukino as a light novel author.
Oh my God.
Someone please write that.
What kind of story would Author-Yukino write? What kind of characters would she create? What kind of development and arcs would she give them?
Also, now I’m imagining Haruno working in the media-entertainment industry as an actress, writer, producer AND director.
“not that he called her to tell the happy news”
Dammit, Hachiman.
“bribe her with ice cream and puff pastries”
Komachi is worse than her brother!
“she wouldn’t allow his little sister to take that tone with her”
Of course not! Yukino doesn’t let anybody push her around! Well, except Yui and her parents…
“she was a little girl in comparison…no knowledge about how the world works”
Yukino…Komachi is just as smart as her brother, if not smarter.
“She smiled, blue eyes bright, teeth white”
I love that Komachi easily irritates Yukino. After all, she is Hachiman but better.
“Here, have a biscuit”
Ha!
“I even gave her the address to the boarding house Onii-chan would be staying at”
I peg Hachiman’s D&D alignment as Neutral. Komachi however is definitely Evil.
“those little tutoring sessions”
So he tutored her. I’d say Saki’s raised more flags than Yui and Yukino at this point. (looks at Iroha) Not sure about her, though.
“a overprized Choco lava cake”
Sheesh, Yukino’s had to reach into her wallet just to pry information from Komachi.
“a steep learning curve for an individual who wanted to be left alone”
I thought of the coroner of the Tokyo Metro Police in SouBU’s Unmade.
“rules were a bit more lax in Tokyo U over hanging out with students”
Shizuka SEEMS happier, but she’s still unmarried and isn’t getting any younger.
“this became the new normal”
Wait, so this story’s going to skip to the second year in university? Interesting; a lot could have happened in one year.
“It didn’t bother her all that much”
Which means she let her guard down and became complacent in regards to him.
“roommates”
Yay! Hm, why am I thinking of Wallace in Scott Pilgrim vs the World (2010)?
“no signs of alcohol poisoning or lung cancer”
Ha!
“that didn’t worry her”
Iroha on the other hand does, and for good reason. In Oregairu, she proved that she is interested in Hachiman romantically and has little or no qualms with hurting the feelings of Yui and Yukino to win his heart.
“Glad you could make it to Tokyo U”
Iroha really does love him, doesn’t she? She became Student Council President because of him, and I’m guessing she chose Tokyo U for the same reason. Yukino is right to be worried.
“She wore heels and dressed rather fashionably”
She hadn’t seen Hachiman in over a year.
“She had been plotting”
Uh-oh.
“as Zaimokuza would say, raising an event flag”
…Yukino, how many visual novels have you read by now?
Zionchar11 chapter 104 . 5/30
That's very light hearted and downright romantic that Hachiman go out of his way to communicate with her.. bruh thats 1 way to steal your man's girl
Volfy790 chapter 104 . 5/29
Just from this I can see that your new story is gonna be good. Their interactions made me hype to see how the other crossover characters will interact with Hachiman.
KarimHD chapter 104 . 5/29
I love that story and I'm glad to see you pick it up againx can't wait to see what comes next
CMY187 chapter 101 . 5/27
“thought that he had weathered the worst storm in high school”
Being cruel is a requirement to become a writer of good stories.
“curse him even further in university”
This made me grin. He just wants to study, get a job and have ONE girlfriend, dammit! He already went through so much pain dealing with having four women love him!
…hm, now there’s a thought; Hachiman in this story may feel that the other women aside from the aforementioned four are just trying to get closer to him due to misplaced perceptions and/or their own issues and problems with their own love interests as well as themselves.
It may also boost the egos of Yui, Yukino, Kawasaki and Iroha to see Hachiman refusing advances from multiple women throwing themselves at him, though I’d say Hachiman is NOT immune to seduction. He’s a straight guy, after all.
“numerous women in Tokyo U”
He’s going to be the most hated person in his university, isn’t he?
“grow to see him as a better prospect”
I’m guessing that many male characters would be comparing themselves and each other to Hachiman.
“if we don’t finish the word, the readers will imagine the most outrageous scenario”
I’m taking this Chapter 101 as what one often sees at the beginning or end of chapters of a manga; the mangaka addressing the reader directly.
“said the words with all his hatred”
Hachiman DESPISES harem protagonists. He enjoys stories in which they suffer.
“he tried to help them out so that they could leave them alone”
Hachiman is his own worst enemy.
“because he liked a good challenge”
I want Shizuka, Yui and Yukino to see Hachiman in university after being in the Service Club and agreeing, ‘We’ve created a monster.’
“ends up being the best boyfriend material”
I thought of Hachiman going on ‘practice’ dates with Iroha.
“He is interesting”
He really is. Just ask Haruno. She calls Hayato ‘boring’, which I disagree with.
“He makes you feel beautiful and wanted”
He looks best the outward physical beauty, sees the actual person you are with your flaws and ugly aspects, and likes and appreciates them rather than being repulsed by them. Just ask Yukino and Iroha.
“He makes you a better person”
(looks at Iroha) Urm…
“he is your superhero”
This is where Hachiman objects and tries to deconstruct the entire superhero genre.
“Komachi Hikigaya said”
…I knew it. It’s Komachi’s fault. In fact, everything is always Komachi’s fault.
muhammadhaykal21 chapter 103 . 5/26
i dont know why i feel like my face expression be deadpan or facepalm expression
Volfy790 chapter 103 . 5/26
I'm gonna look forward to this new story, I can see it being added to my favorites already Xd. I have a question tho, Is the crossover limited to all franchise shown in this chapter or can we suggest more series?

Welp that aside I choose option 2 for the first chapter. Good luck with the new story and stay safe bruh.
Guest chapter 103 . 5/25
Trash brother
BorderLand chapter 103 . 5/25
So Hikigaya stole the love interests of all this guys...that is beyond god. He even tamed a wild Senjoughara.

Will we get Kurumi Tokisaki eventually?
arandomguythatlikesto read chapter 101 . 4/15
damn... what a rollercoaster... this story entertained me to no end. thanks for the ride author-san!
