The Bug Clan's Scumbag Attacker, but He Took the Wrong Script

As the Time and Space Administration's professional Scumbag Attack Acting Department, its employees are experts at playing scumbag tops. Whether it's a pretty boy living off his lover, a domineering CEO who forces love on his partner, an emotionless Daoist immortal, or a Phoenix Man who clawed his way out of a mountain village, they handle every role with ease.

But one day, the scumbag tops ended up in the right worlds and got the wrong scripts.

*

Scumbag Top No. 1 got the kept-man script.

You are an excellent pretty boy. You are handsome, have a striking physique, and dress impeccably. Unfortunately, apart from your looks and body, you are good for nothing.

You never work. You are a lazy parasite who lives off your wife and recklessly squanders his wealth.

So when the empire's youngest major general fell from grace and was forcibly matched with a low-ranking male of an enemy family, everyone thought the male would suppress the major general, devour his family and fortune, gradually strip him of his work, and finally break his wings and lock him away at home.

The pretty boy: "A husband's looks are his wife's glory."

With a flawlessly handsome face and a model's physique, the male followed the pretty-boy rule to the letter. Every day, he showed off his loving relationship with the major general, often bringing him home-cooked meals at military headquarters, but took no interest whatsoever in offering advice about his work.

As if! Why would a pretty boy care about work?

As for squandering wealth...

The scumbag top looked at the jewels at the auction, leaned close to the major general's ear, and asked with hopeful eyes, "That gem would look amazing on you. Will you buy it for me to see?"

The major general looked dazed. "...Buy it, buy them all."

Scumbag Top No. 2 got the forced-love ABO CEO script.

You are the domineering CEO in an ABO novel. You must disregard your wife's wishes, forcibly mark his gland, and take him again and again until he conceives your child.

So, at the end of his life, a prince whose rank was too high and whose mental sea was out of control, on the verge of turning into a violent insect, with no one able to soothe or mark him, and who could only apply to go alone to a desolate planet, was suddenly dragged into a cave by another insect.

The male bit and gnawed at his gland, inhaled his pheromones until he was dizzy, and marked him again and again.

When the prince saw how much younger the male was, he said with complicated feelings that he didn't need him to take responsibility. The male gave a displeased, cold laugh. "What, is being my consort beneath you? Too bad. You're going to be my consort whether you like it or not."

"You really don't like my pheromones that much? I've already filed an application for a forced match. The deed is done, so you'll just have to like me!"

The prince: "..."

As for forcing him to have a child...

When the prince tactfully explained that high-ranking insects had difficulty conceiving, and that he was no longer young, so if the male insisted on being with him, they might never have an egg, the male's expression turned utterly grim.

He kept going while getting angry. "Hah, do you hate me that much? Are you using this excuse to turn me down? I don't care! I want to have an egg with you!"

The prince stared blankly at the ceiling. "...Have one, have them all."

Scumbag Top No. 3 got the ruthless demonic lord script.

Scumbag Top No. 4 got the Phoenix Man script.

At the year-end performance review, the bewildered Administration asked, "Huh? Where did all those scumbag tops I sent out go?"

They're! All! Gone!

A preview of my upcoming novel: The Boss Really Isn't a Villain!

In all kinds of novels, all sorts of bosses are introduced to help the protagonist rise to power. They might be the cold, ruthless disabled CEO in an entertainment-industry story, the abyss that has devoured countless people in a cultivation story, or the evil god who demands sacrifices from the villagers in a horror story.

Early in the story, the protagonist is framed and offered up to the boss by their family, sect, or villagers. After enduring humiliation, they claw their way out of a mountain of corpses, finally kill the boss, and reach a new level of being.

The CEO, the Abyss, and the Evil God: "Is it possible that I only seem mysterious because I'm expressionless, socially anxious, sharp-tongued, and a loner? I'm really not a villain!"

*

A socially anxious abyss and a cultivation prodigy with completely shattered meridians

Legend has it that the abyss at the end of the world was formed from countless millions of resentments. Any living person who enters will have their sinews and bones torn apart, their soul plunged into purgatory, and never see the light of day again.

To keep their senior brother, whose golden core had been excavated, from returning to take revenge, the sect threw him into the abyss, hoping it would devour him completely and keep him from ever being reborn.

Clutching rocks as he climbed, eyes bloodshot and fingers stained with blood, the senior brother staked everything on pleading with the abyss:

"My lord, I'm willing to give you everything: my flesh and bones, my body and soul. Just take me in, and let me have my revenge."

The abyss let out a piercing shriek: "Aaaah! Don't die in my house!"
