See allStories Where the Protagonist Isn’t Suffering, but Everyone Else Thinks They’re Miserable and in Pain
Looking for books like "Tomb Raiders: Pretending to Be Mysterious, Beautiful, and Tragic". I want something like this book about Shen Huai. Don't recommend the exact same book, and please don't recommend anything I've already read. 😑
Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic; Carefully Crafted Persona; Acts Tough and Pulls It Off. Most Importantly, Strong
Looking for books like "Tomb Raiders: I Put on a Mysterious Act, but I'm Beautiful, Powerful, and Tragic". I love characters who are both beautiful and powerful, with suffering that ideally comes from physical illness or pain. This is exactly my kind of thing. I want a protagonist who openly admits they're putting on an act, not someone who gets all coy about it. I hope it's a C...
I'm So Tired of Books!! Any Great Reads That Can Surprise Me? Please Recommend Some!
Looking for books similar to The Age of Global Sailing.
Special Abilities, Academy, Comic Book Cannon Fodder Awakening or Transmigrating, Forums, Ensemble Cast
I'm looking for books similar to "After Seeing the Comic's Pop-Up Comments, I Tore Up the Cannon Fodder Script". Ideally, the chemistry between the protagonists should be fun to ship, with not too much angst. A humorous tone would be great. (Don't recommend that "Roadside Character B" comic. I've already read it.) ε٩(๑> ₃ <)۶з
A Comic Where the Characters Survive on Popularity, With Forums and Getting Stronger Through Others’ Misunderstandings
Looking for a story where a manga character awakens to their reality (transmigration works too) and survives by gaining popularity. They can use secret identities or not, but ideally it's the kind where everyone wildly misinterprets things, and the character grows stronger through readers' imagination!
Looking for Stories with Superpowered Ensemble Casts, Beautiful Yet Tragic Characters, and Forum Posts, Like This Kind
Looking for books similar to "A Background Character's Guide to Surviving in Comics". I mean stories with a strong sense of fate, where the ending is shown right from the start. I love tragic endings, though I haven't gotten to any of the heartbreaking parts in Lu Ge's book yet.
Urban Superpowers + Academy + Everyday Life + Explosive, High-Energy Battles (Please 😭)
By the way, no Systems, no System forcing the characters to do things, no Systems. (Important things are said three times.)
Looking for Ensemble Casts: Apart, They're Each a King; Together, They're a Bunch of Immature Goofballs
The Protagonist Is the Commander of the Main Cast, Extremely Intelligent but Not the Strongest
The protagonist can be sickly. The story can be set in a supernatural apocalypse or be an infinite-flow story.
Forum Stories, Comics or Novels, and Tragedy: Beautiful but Broken!
Looking for something like "The Rules for Playing a Beautiful but Tragic Character". I want a story with forums, secret identities, comics or novels, and heartbreak. "White Night" is so good. Good news: I stayed up all night and caught up. Bad news: I caught up. Now I have nothing to read. Please, I’m begging for similar stories!
Any Stories Where the Protagonist Is a Manga Extra Who Gets Access to a Manga Forum?
I'm looking for stories where the protagonist suddenly discovers a comic forum and learns they're a cannon-fodder character who'll die soon, then acts according to their character setting and boosts their popularity to stay alive. Original works preferred, but fanfiction is fine too. Stories from other apps are okay ( ˘ ³˘)♥

It's been balanced; currently, it's non-toxic and edible. Wow, finally we get a unique superpower, instead of the prophetic abilities that other transmigrated protagonists seem to have mass-produced. Honestly, I'm sick of prophetic protagonists 🤦
I've already said it's great, I've been looking at it for a long time, and this book is totally my cup of tea, lol. When I first saw this book on Zhubu, I read it with a "let's give it a try" attitude, and it was a perfect match! I love it! Xiao Duan has truly grown little by little from the beginning.
It's a great read, and the writing style keeps improving. May the champion team stay together forever... Shi Zhang finally has someone who cares about him. Overall, it's a fantastic novel! The plot is also quite deep, though a bit angsty... The writing might have been a little immature at the beginning, but it gets better and better as it progresses. Looking forward to more updates from the King!
It's great! So far, I haven't found anything off-putting, and the ensemble cast is absolutely fantastic! I love all the characters' personalities. Reading it now feels so healing; this lively, energetic, and forward-moving feeling is the best! It truly has that feel of a slice-of-life anime about unity and friendship.
It's so good!! So far, there are no major flaws. I especially love the feeling of these energetic young people playing together; everyone is so adorable! 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ [KISS][KISS][KISS][KISS][KISS][KISS][KISS] I hope the author continues to improve.
It's really good! At first, it was quite novel; it didn't force the main character to be the most popular. But thinking about it carefully, the original protagonist was indeed a chosen one, with his own destiny, which is really wonderful. Both the original and current protagonists are amazing! By the way, I absolutely love Lele and Xiao Duan! It's sooooo delicious!!! 💕💕💕
This is a very good story. If you like superpowers, action-packed shonen manga, ensemble casts, and forum-style stories, you can read it without hesitation. The author's writing is excellent, with a delicate pace, clear logic, and a style that's neither too fast to be tedious or too slow to be boring or drawn out. While maintaining a smooth pace, the descriptive writing is also highly refined.
It's really good and unique 😍. I'll give it four stars for now ✌︎' ֊' I'll add five stars after the author finishes writing it. I love the characters the author wrote! Duan Duan is a typical example of someone who's afraid of being directly approached, haha. I love the clash between the stubbornly arrogant and the seemingly straightforward in the story.
Spoilers ahead. I really love this story. Shi Zhang, You You, Le Le, Mian Mian, and the young lady, along with the other characters, are all so vivid and relatable. I still can't forget Shi Zhang dancing the girl's steps, haha. This Shi Zhang is so masculine and easy to please. This forum perfectly expressed my feelings.
The author's writing is absolutely perfect for my taste! The interactions between Xiao Duan and Zhuo Hua are so heartwarming. Zhuo Hua's arrogance, Xu You's gentleness, Lele's cheerfulness with a touch of cunning, Mianmian's adventurous spirit, and Xiao Duan's deep emotional connection—she blushes even from a simple handshake with a friend.
