Three million copies sold. A global fanbase. Complete critical acclaim. Everyone thinks twenty-two-year-old college dropout Ren Takahashi is a literary genius. The reality? He’s a total fraud suffering from the worst case of writer's block in human history. After his debut novel became an overnight phenomenon, Orion Productions handed him a massive contract with just one catch: he has exactly six months to deliver a sequel that is bigger, better, and hits even harder. Paralyzed by the pressure, Ren locks himself away in his trash-filled apartment for two weeks, ghosting his family and alienating his loud, anime-obsessed best friend. With zero words written and a looming deadline, a late-night craving for instant noodles forces him out into the cold. He expected a quiet run to the convenience store. Instead, a runaway calico cat named Mochi, a sudden gust of wind, and a chaotic encounter in a dim alleyway are about to completely derail his isolation. Ren has six months to write a masterpiece. But before he can write a legendary love story, he might actually have to live one.
