I can't ignore the references, Our MC is totally a reference to Sunless, Right? Can't lie, And in the first three minutes, says he's tougher than a cockroach? Too familiar for the random chances, Lol. Just started, but if your writing is as good as the reference material, I'm in for an amazing time.
Sorry, but no. Tbh, I don`t even know about this story,
And what's most amusing is that, despite the fact that the main character adopted the style of a clown, this idea came entirely from my own head. Later, I learned that there are a bunch of other anime novels and films with similar characters, but at the time, I believed my idea was unique.
Overall, I thought the story started off pretty positively, so I decided not to worry about it too much. And... glad to hear than you liked this game :D
