* Losing your memory is not all that bad. Especially if you find out that the person you used to be before losing memory was a lazy student who barely did his homework, to the point that it was easier to find manga and video game collection that finding textbooks in your own room. Now you can fix your reputation at school and hope you will not need to repeat a grade.

* If there is a rumor about a shady, untested and potentially unsafe method to rapidly boosting your psychic power, you should take it! Risking your life for a possibility of gaining a supernatural power, no matter how short-lived it would be, is better than nothing.

** If the girl says she can take care of the issue herself, don't listen to her. Her attempts to fix things will [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption inevitably fail]], and she will need to be rescued.

Meanwhile...
* Always be sure to throw yourself headfirst into danger, no matter the injuries you will suffer as a result or had beforehand. Don't worry, a trip to the hospital will have you right as rain for the next body-shattering danger you'll face next (though to be fair, they have a ''really'' [[TheMedic good doctor]]).

* You must [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl always save the girl]]. Always. Even if you've [[TheDulcineaEffect only known her for a few minutes]], are in a foreign country, or even if she tried to kill you not too long ago, you must immediately drop everything and risk life and limb (sometimes [[AnArmAndALeg literally]]) to save her from whatever problem she's facing. In doing so, [[RescueRomance she will fall in love with you]] and join your harem.

## Be born with a special power (ideally, [[AntiMagic one that destroys every other power that exists]]).
## Develop an [[SuperpowerLottery overpowered ability]] (except if there are people stronger than you. In that case, [[TheWorfEffect you'll be useless against the 'real' threats]]).

* The best way to stop a [[RealityWarper reality warping]] PhysicalGoddess is to annoy her until she gives up. When she does, she will realise that [[RuleOfThree she loves you and will join your harem.]]
