The Devil Tries to Hide His Little Tail [Infinite]

[Requesting paywall removal, please don't buy] I've actually written over 7,000 more words, but no matter how I look at them, they feel wrong. I've revised and rewritten them, but I'm still not satisfied, so in the end I decided to remove the paywall. I'm very sorry for giving everyone a poor reading experience. (Bows.) Infinite-flow stories have always been my favorite genre, and this novel was an experiment for me. I kept getting stuck while writing the early chapters. Things improved after I'd written tens of thousands of words, and I thought I wouldn't get stuck again, but my writing speed dropped to 300 words an hour. It took me a whole day to squeeze out 3,000 words. Whenever I thought about starting a new instance, I felt hopeless. I had a rough idea, but couldn't get it down on paper. It's clear this genre is far beyond my abilities. On top of that, my head hasn't been clear lately. I wanted to write something else to relax, but I couldn't manage to write anything at all. (Wry smile.) After removing the paywall, I'll post those 7,000 words and, when I have time, finish the second instance for free. I'm truly sorry. Bows to everyone again. * Lu Huai was lazy and arrogant, a little demon from Hell on the run. As the designated pretty boy of a rookie boy band, he acted sweet and cute, adored by the group's members and fans alike, and thoroughly enjoyed eating and drinking at other people's expense. Then the Void Gate opened, and Lu Huai was transported into a death game, only to find himself surrounded by familiar scenes from Hell. As the monsters snarled, Lu Huai, soft and delicate, stared blankly and slowly spat out one word. Damn. - To keep his identity hidden, Lu Huai stuck to his persona and occasionally had to step in and help. The players soon noticed that any group with Lu Huai in it was extraordinarily lucky. When they encountered an enemy, a wooden sign listing its weakness would appear right in front of them. When they were almost caught and eaten, the ghosts would inexplicably trip and become unable to move. Lu Huai wasn't just dead weight. He was a walking lucky charm! Everyone: Huai, is it too late to start calling you Brother Lu? - They fought their way through one challenge after another. Victory was in sight, and everyone was celebrating when four dark blue wings unfurled in the black night sky, like ghostly flames. Lu Huai's face turned green. A tail was grabbed, and a dark blue demon hauled him out of the crowd. Lu Huai waved awkwardly. "Long time no see. You... got taller." "It's been thirty years, after all." The demon's voice was vicious as he said those words, his eyes roiling with dark currents. "So now, will you come home?" tips: The protagonist is irresistible to everyone, appealing to both men and women. Everyone dotes on him, with one-sided crushes all around. * Blurb for "Straight Guy Pretending to Be a Flirt Is Bound to Crash and Burn!" Chu Shi was handsome, but lazy and frivolous, and he never watched what he said. Just before he awakened memories of transmigrating into a book, he'd signed a contract after being framed. Not only had he joined a gay dating show, he also had to play the flirt, with his partner being Wen Zhao, his homophobic rival. Chu Shi: Anything acting can solve isn't a problem. Once the news was announced, the original protagonist took the opportunity to put him down, waiting for Wen Zhao to lose his temper and for the two of them to fall out in public. Chu Shi didn't care in the least. He followed the script, occasionally jotting down notes: [Suggested exercising, agreed. Suggested showering together, rejected] [Played a game involving touching abs, rejected. Tried to play with the assistant afterward, stopped] [Unexpected event: Opened the door after showering. Wen Zhao turned away in disgust. Affection score: minus 100. End the partnership immediately] Later, they filmed a kissing-forfeit scene. As expected, Wen Zhao couldn't bring himself to kiss him, and the shot kept getting interrupted. Chu Shi smugly lifted Wen Zhao's chin. "Why so uptight? I've dated dozens of men like you." As soon as he finished speaking, a hand roughly gripped his jaw. The famously cold and aloof Wen Zhao wrapped one arm around Chu Shi's waist and kissed him deeply, leaving the handsome young man unable to catch his breath, his ears bright red. Chu Shi: ? - Later, the show aired and became a huge hit. The original protagonist, who had once mocked him, went mad and tried to get back in touch by any means, completely unaware that Chu Shi was being kept in a hotel room, warily clutching a fistful of sticky notes. Wen Zhao's breath brushed against Chu Shi's ear, his voice low. "What about this? Do you find it disgusting?" Chu Shi kept edging toward the wall like a cat with its fur standing on end. Who said this rabid dog was upright and proper, like an old-fashioned official... and homophobic, too?! A lazy, gorgeous bottom who's great at acting and has no idea how attractive he is x a seemingly cold, upright top who's actually devious * Blurb for "The Frail Sniper God [Esports]" Reborn five years in the past, Jian Xi looked at the guilty faces of his biological parents and chose to leave the Jian family, taking the so-called compensation money with him. Since he had missed out on years of family affection and could never fit in with them, he might as well do what he hadn't managed to do in his previous life while his health still held up. As it happened, the popular new shooter game War Halberd officially announced its first world championship. Jian Xi joined an obscure team that no one believed in, bringing his own funding. He faced a medic who wouldn't follow orders, an impetuous young tank, and Bian Ji, an assault player said to have joined the team for his sake, so arrogant he'd been blacklisted by multiple pro teams. When the full roster was announced, every platform was full of predictions that they'd fail. Netizens sneered: [With that frail body, why play Esports? Go back to the hospital and lie down.] [I've never even heard of this ID. They parachute him in as captain, and he dares to play sniper?] But the first time they faced a powerful opponent, Jian Xi played while coughing, his pale eyes reddening at the corners from choking, yet his sniper skills dazzled the entire field as he led the team to four straight wins. Netizens: ...??? Later, the team won the world championship, and War Halberd became a sensation everywhere. The Jian family was shocked to discover: Since when had the shopping center near their home started hanging up promotional photos of frail Jian Xi?! Extra scene: After winning several matches in a row, the team manager could never figure out how Bian Ji had become friends with the cool, aloof Jian Xi, or why he'd been willing to give up the captaincy. Jian Xi's assessment: He's easy to get along with. Manager: ? The next second, Bian Ji walked in and asked quietly: "If we win the match, can I take a little bite out of your neck?" Their captain merely glanced at Bian Ji, his tone calm. "If you win, you can." Manager: ??? A crazy, possessive, straight-guy wolfdog top x a cool, straight-guy bottom who doesn't understand men being together at all and has let himself be taken advantage of over and over Yes, there are two straight guys in this novel. (Wry grin.) The top bends himself, then bends the bottom Theme: Keep your heart turned toward the light, and never give up
