Even a Gloomy Nobody Wants to Become a God

Lu Ze is a nobody.

Just an ordinary nobody living an impossibly hard life in the Xinglan Kingdom.

After the Manga Popularity System finds her, Lu Ze, her face numb and lifeless from being ground down by life, asks, “What’s a manga?”

It turns out this is a romance novel set at a prestigious school. Everyone is just a stepping stone or a background character in the heroine’s love story, and the heroine is none other than Li Xiao, whom she has hated for years.

To change her miserable fate and help the manga gain popularity and become the best manga around, the expressionless Lu Ze sets out to support the heroine’s romances.

But before she can make much progress, she unexpectedly discovers that there’s another side to the world: supernatural abilities, dungeons, spiritual artifacts, and all sorts of unfamiliar things.

Lu Ze: “???”

Later, after awakening her supernatural abilities, Lu Ze sits high above the crowd with her legs crossed, leaning back at an angle against her chair, one hand propping up her face. She says calmly, “What should you call me now?”

The fanatical cultists shout in unison, “Our Leader!!”

“No. A god,” Lu Ze says, her lips barely moving. “I am your god.”

Note: 1. Due to her upbringing, the heroine has a flawed personality and is far from perfect. She is an antagonist-type protagonist who remains true to her nature from beginning to end.

2. No CP, a power-progression feel-good story, with a little bit of the side characters’ exaggerated worship of the protagonist and a somewhat dark friendship with the original heroine.

3. The plot focuses on the protagonist’s growth, with the manga forums and such as a secondary storyline.

4. The main characters are mostly women. I like writing stories about women.
