Synopsis

- The cover changes from time to time. The current cover features the protagonist, Bai Xuechao -

[Part One is complete. Part Two is available for pre-order in my author’s collection. Please add it to your library]

[Extras are being updated slowly and irregularly]

As Bai Xuechao was about to die from illness, he became bound to a System claiming to come from a “high-dimensional world comics website.”

He learned that the world he lived in was a comic, and that a major villain had died unexpectedly half an hour earlier. After running its checks, the System determined that he was the best fit to take over the villain’s role.

As long as he completed the villain missions, the System would arrange for him to fake his death and obtain a healthy body.

To stay alive, Bai Xuechao agreed.

Night fell, and the city lights blazed.

The sickly youth sat on the edge of the hospital rooftop. The wind stirred his snow-white hair, and a smile appeared in his ruby-red eyes.

“At last, this boring world has become a little interesting.”

Supernatural Powers × Food Chain is currently the hottest urban supernatural action manga for boys.

After the new character Bai Xuechao appeared, his popularity soared.

He shot to fame with his sickly, beautiful-boy persona, white hair, and red eyes. Then his unhinged, fun-loving personality and genius-level intellect, as if he had the script in hand, propelled him into the top ten of the popularity rankings.

But no one knew his true identity: he was one of the four executives of a dark organization, and had fabricated a false identity to get close to the protagonists for his own purposes.

Readers who had no idea what was going on: [My irresistible wife! Prrrr~]

System Xiao 6 only meant to bind itself to a Host. It never expected to get a total menace.

First, he stole 20% of the male lead’s personality in the story, becoming the first character the author ever addressed directly, with the author begging him online to please show some mercy.

Then he even struck a deal with the author to turn the manga into a mega-hit, and made sure to negotiate bonuses and benefits for it too.

Xiao 6: What do you mean, a menace? He’s my real dad!

[Reader’s Guide] [See the author’s note in Chapter One for details!]

① No romance. The protagonist has no romantic interest and no one has unrequited feelings for him. The story is very over-the-top and chuunibyou, and the plot builds slowly. The first few chapters lay out the setting. The System is a supporting character, not a tool: it has a major role and talks a lot!

② Both real and fake tearjerkers. Includes comic comments, forum-style chapters, and comic readers shipping characters.

③ Don’t mention other authors’ works in my comments, and don’t mention my work in other authors’ comments.

Theme: Be yourself, keep striving, and change your fate.

Great Finds with No Romance

Specifically, stories where the protagonist has no CP! I couldn't give them five stars, so they are all four-star reads. Most feature male protagonists without CP, with a small number featuring female protagonists without CP. They also avoid made-up terminology, so enjoy without worry v
