I'm More Than Just an NPC in Her Youth

(A new writer's story about ordinary life, secret crushes, and being "seen.") Chen Jian has no past life, System, or underdog comeback. He's just an invisible nobody at an ordinary high school in 2014: average grades, an ordinary face, and convinced he's an NPC in "Earth Online." Then he falls for Xu Jianing, who sits by the window in the third row, and for the first time, someone really sees him. Years later, when they meet again, he learns that his secret crush, unknown to anyone else, had once been returned.
