[Group Transmigration] I'm Stealing the Spotlight in a Pet-Taming Anime

A peek at my upcoming novel, “My Golden Finger Is Infinite Possession” (some promotional copy at the bottom)

Pokemon-inspired, fairy-tale-style beast taming + group transmigration + transmigration into a comic + competing for popularity + forum posts

To fulfill his wish to “Bring my best friend back to life,” Lin En transmigrates into a beast-taming anime alongside nine other transmigrators, kicking off a fierce battle for popularity.

His goal: to rank number one!

Lin En is a superstar, a master at riding the wave of trends, and a natural in front of the camera. He can deliver a passionate speech about bonds and put on an award-worthy performance, or venture through mountains and seas to unlock new areas. Online, he chats with the production team; offline, he pours money into buying traffic.

His rivals include an edgy teen with painfully awkward lines, an introverted geek who only wants to travel, a lucky, popular guy who chose the wrong career, and a narcissist named Jiahao with ridiculously overpowered cheats...

Will he win? He will!

The production team, under pressure from the System: What a classic character setup, what a reliable old formula. It feels reassuring. The male lead is yours.

But wait, weren’t they supposed to scheme against each other and fight for popularity? Why do all his rivals think of him as a friend?

The introverted geek: Lin’s been looking out for all of us this whole trip. He seems really dependable.

(Lin En: That’s just my character setup.)

The narcissistic Jiahao: He’s got talent. Maybe he really could give me a worthy fight!

(Lin En: No, cheat king, stay away!)

The edgy teen: Brother Lin inspired me!

(Lin En: I’m just forcing a smile for the cameras.)

Lin En, horrified: Don’t corrupt an adult’s heart of cold, unyielding steel with friendship and dreams!

And even if you say all that, I’m still not voting for you!

The beast-taming anime “Seal Ring: Journey” became an overnight hit as soon as it premiered. Every character has their own appeal, and the popularity poll is fiercely contested...

The snarky, edgy teen, the incredibly strong narcissistic senior, the scheming catlike girl...

But there’s no doubt who the audience’s number-one favorite is: the male lead, who...

helps the Starter Pokémon develop new forms,

helps ordinary beast companions break through their limits,

and never gives up, even after suffering setbacks...

[Working stiffs need to watch something like this to find the strength to keep going.]

[Sorry, I just want to see an ordinary person succeed.]

[The kid least likely to create a miracle created the most impossible miracle of all!]

System: You’ve become the most popular character. How do you feel?

Lin En: ...Thank you, everyone. (Please stop inexplicably making me out to be such a saint.)

Luo Qi, his best friend: Lin En has always been the best!

1. A heartwarming, fairy-tale story. The biggest conspiracy revolves around all the ways Kitty sneaks snacks from the can.

2. The love interest is his best friend, the Phantom Spirit Yao Yao. They’re together from Chapter 10 onward.

3. I, Xiao A, love chatting, so please leave comments!

4. Please point out any typos!
