My Childhood Friend and I Share a Puberty System, and Now She Can See My Every Heartbeat: Volume 1 T

Life just got a major update, and the patch notes are a nightmare.

Leo and Maya have been neighbors since diapers, but turning thirteen changed everything. Usually, waking up involves an annoying alarm clock. For Leo, it involved a holographic loading bar and a system alert: [Installing: Puberty 1.0].

Suddenly, life is an RPG. Every voice crack is a [Critical Failure], every awkward interaction yields [Social Anxiety XP], and a tiny, muscle-bound gym bro named Testo is living in Leo's head, screaming about "gains."

But there's a glitch in the system. Because Leo and Maya share a birthday, their systems are Sync-Linked. Now, Maya can see Leo's stats, his health bars, and his most embarrassing "Attraction Formulas" in real-time. And he can see hers.

In Volume 1 of this hilarious Light Novel series:

• The Fragrance Debuff: Leo and Maya must navigate a high-stakes "Hygiene Quest" to neutralize the bio-hazard known as middle-school body odor.
• PvP Tutorial: Dodgeball becomes a battle for survival when a local bully targets Leo's low Agility stats.
• The Boss Battle: Can Leo survive an English presentation without his voice cracking into a supersonic frequency?

The Adolescence Interface is a "coming-of-age LitRPG" that combines the awkward comedy of Diary of a Wimpy Kid with the mechanics of your favorite video games. It's an insightful, laugh-out-loud look at the science of growing up, the trials of middle school, and the complicated "co-op mode" of childhood friendship.

Will Leo and Maya master the system, or will the "Tutorial from Hell" be Game Over for their friendship?

Perfect for fans of slice-of-life anime, light novels, and anyone who remembers just how glitchy being thirteen can be.
