Scaring You Away Was My Love Language

Kurogane Tōma wakes up as the one character every player loves to hate: the Yakuza heir and designated scoundrel of a hit dating sim — the brute who harasses the heroines, bullies his classmates, and drags everyone toward a blood-soaked bad ending. Armed with memories of the game and a single goal — to survive in peace — he settles on a foolproof plan: act so terrifying that every heroine keeps her distance, so that not a single death flag is ever lit.

There's just one problem. The harder he scowls, threatens, and shoves them away, the more the girls start noticing the quiet things he does in the shadows — the bullies who suddenly vanish, the traps that never spring, the injuries he hides. And one by one, they arrive at the worst possible conclusion: that the cruel young master is secretly suffering alone to keep them safe.

His threats were meant to be a warning. They heard a confession.
