Qi Sheng was a notorious failure in the online fiction world. After ten consecutive abandoned novels, he proudly earned a "Level Ten Throwing in the Towel Certificate."
He was typing up his tearful retirement announcement when he was suddenly bound to a sharp-tongued System.
"Host, quit writing your farewell speech. Your prose isn't even good enough to leave the industry!" The System launched into a scathing tirade. "The farming novel written by the elementary school kid next door has three more zeroes in its follower count than yours!"
From then on, Qi Sheng's daily routine became this:
By day, readers chased him down to curse him as a "dropped-update dog." By night, the System forced him to revise his work.
"This fight scene reads like a square-dancing brawl. Delete it!"
"The heroine's name is so tacky that Wenquxing's coffin is rattling. Change it!"
"Friendly reminder: whenever you write a romance scene, I feel like applying for a lifelong-single insurance policy on behalf of the hero!"
Desperate to shut the System up, Qi Sheng was forced to write like a madman, only to discover that the more it insulted him, the more excited it got.
"Host's blood pressure has reached the required level. Achievement unlocked: [Furious but Useless Failure King]!"
"Congratulations! You've completed 'Revise 100 Times in a Row.' Your reward is a digital copy of A Web Fiction Author's Guide to Preventing Hair Loss!"
Qi Sheng slammed his keyboard down. "Shut up! I want to unbind!"
System: "To unbind, you must complete the ultimate mission: write a novel that doesn't flop."
Qi Sheng: "...How is that a reasonable mission?!"
