Dual male leads / top protagonist / mutual pampering
There’s a type of person in the world of novels who is neither a villain nor a protagonist. They’re simply part of the protagonist’s background.
Some are cannon fodder deliberately made stupid to make the protagonist look good. They’re elegant and handsome, with exceptional looks and talent, but their endings are always tragic.
Lin Xi is a new employee at the Quick Transmigration Administration. For various reasons, he has no choice but to enter fictional worlds alongside System 062 and save the cannon-fodder characters readers can’t stop thinking about.
At first:
062: Hurry up, Host! Let’s go save the little cannon fodder!
Lin Xi: In a minute, in a minute. Next time, for sure.
Midway through:
062: We just got here. There’s really no need to rush…
Lin Xi: What? You want me to run? Sure, got it.
Later on:
062 watches the Host who muted it as soon as he entered the world, then looks at the foil character in his arms. It quietly opens the door to its little black room and goes in to shut itself away.
