Synopsis:
The System Is Forcing Me to Be an Idiot is a “reverse survival guide” that sends IQ packing while sending your smile soaring.
Lin Xiaochan, an overworked office drone, got punished by a mysterious force from Jinjiang for being too sharp-tongued while criticizing brainless stories, and was bound to the “Brainless Feel-Good Story System.”
Her mission: in a world of domineering CEOs greasier than Middle Eastern oil fields, top-tier stars with missing brainstems, and NPCs with an average IQ of minus 250,
she must use her toes to write dialogue worthy of a Barbie Dreamhouse, push old-fashioned plots forward with mind-numbing antics, and endure a torrent of abuse from the entire internet: “Was this author drinking fake liquor?”
But then she discovers that
saying “The king falls when the weather turns cold” really can summon a blizzard,
dancing the social shuffle can make United Nations delegates clap along in unison,
and the young heir to a pig farm looks at her in a way that gradually changes from “That woman’s definitely crazy” to “Her craziness is so unique”...
A hidden mission quietly unlocks:
It turns out the System’s KPI isn’t to make her an idiot,
but to get the whole world to “go reasonably crazy” right along with her.
[Reader’s Guide]
✓ Best enjoyed with blood pressure medication. The author accepts no responsibility for laughter-induced abs.
✓ Includes baffling stunts such as “shaving the richest man bald with an excavator” and “growing cilantro on Mars.”
✓ The author has given up treatment, but the protagonist is secretly rebuilding logic.
When the last strand of hair leaves her scalp,
Lin Xiaochan finally understands:
Rather than mentally exhausting herself,
she might as well physically send the whole world flying.
