Raising a National Boy Band

Coming soon: “The Villain Is Always Coveting Me [Quick Transmigration]” and “Making the Darkened Male Lead a Dad [Quick Transmigration]”

Blurb:

On their debut day, Hi-Five got overshadowed by news that a top-tier star had been exposed as dating someone. Their debut promotion made no waves.

Industry insiders called it: “A flop from the very start. This group is bound to be done for before long.”

Even Qi Lin, Hi-Five's leader, didn't think the group would last.

But later, he became a superstar with top national popularity, and their group never disbanded.

Hi-Five's five members grew from inexperienced rookies into stars in their prime, from nobodies into national sensations, and from struggling to get along into a perfectly in-sync team.

Their nickname “Little Losers” went from an insult to a fond joke their fans wore with pride.

What never changed was that whenever they appeared solo, they always included the group's name in their introductions.

And when they appeared together

“Hi, everyone! I'm Yan Zhiyi/Zhu An/Qi Lin/Duan Xingye/Jiang Qingyue. We're, ”

The entire audience shouted along with them: “Hi-Five!”

#Using twelve years of youth to make a dream for you#

What makes a boy band a “hidden gem” (or a “weird bunch”)?

❤️ Leader, lead singer, and visual:

He became an idol to get a guaranteed base salary, and became leader because it meant an extra thousand a month.

💙 Eldest member, songwriter and instrumentalist:

He practices because it lets him summon armor, and firmly believes he never became a summoner because his name wasn't chosen well.

💜 Second eldest, an all-rounder with no weak spots:

He thinks the group would be exactly the same with or without him, and maybe they should have called it Hi-Four.

💛 Straight younger brother with the height of a scummy male lead:

When he heard he had never topped the leader, he stayed up all night and paid someone to commission fanfiction.

💚 Youngest member and rapper:

He stuffs his plushies in the closet and adamantly denies being a sweet little Northeastern boy...

[Bonus scene 1]

Zhu An looks like a well-behaved boy, but he's actually a little devil.

He likes giving people nicknames. One set goes like this: leader Qi Lin is “Big Paste,” Duan Xingye is “Little Paste,” Yan Zhiyi is “Dark Soy,” and Jiang Qingyue is “Light Soy.”

Question: “Why is the leader called Big Paste?”

Zhu An: “It's a pun on ‘big stubborn guy.’ At his very first evaluation, he dared to argue with the director. That's basically talking back.”

They asked Qi Lin, the person in question: “Was it because you didn't know the ropes yet? Did you get into more heated arguments with the instructors after that?”

Qi Lin shook his head.

They asked, “Did you start behaving yourself?”

Qi Lin: “I debuted right after that.”

[Bonus scene 2]

Question: “I heard you five are so close you could share a pair of underwear?”

Jiang Qingyue: “It's not that exaggerated. I'm the only one who's worn underwear belonging to all of them.”

Question: “Huh? You're idols. Are you allowed to say that?” (Eyes sparkling, voice excited.)

Jiang Qingyue: “Why not? Idols wear underwear too!”

The fans made up rumors online: That's right, they're a comedy boy band!

“The Villain Is Always Coveting Me [Quick Transmigration]”

I haven't written danmei in ages, and I'm itching to, but the collection is too small. I need to build it up first... (aggressively hinting.jpg)

⭕️ Blurb:

All of its Hosts have failed, and it doesn't have enough energy of its own. The System can only exchange its energy for a physical body and carry out the missions itself.

It needs to stop villains from committing evil and maintain the stability of the small worlds.

So, can't it just eliminate the villains outright?

Yet in the end, every time, it becomes the great villain's chains and the one and only weakness.

[Spiritual Qi Revival]

Many people with special abilities think they're superior, killing indiscriminately and even trying to establish a new order.

While the government department is overwhelmed, a ruthless ability-stealer appears as well.

As everyone hunts him down, he's cornered a schoolboy in uniform and is offering him a gift: “Which ability do you want?”

The System, confused during its first mission: ?

[Beastfolk World]

A human woman from another world becomes the object of desire for countless male beasts.

The evil dragon should have used her to sow discord and spark a war between the beast tribes. Instead, he wraps his tail around a male snake, his golden slit-pupiled eyes full of murderous intent. “Do you want to join them too?”

The System, whose body in this world is a male snake: ?

[Mecha World]

A mecha gains self-awareness and wants to lead the mecha in overthrowing humanity and taking control.

But now it uses its mechanical tentacles to pull someone out of the mecha wreckage and wrap him up tight.

“Why are you piloting another mecha? Am I not strong enough?”

The System, bound in the control room: ?

[Ancient Court]

A ruler lives in extreme luxury and does whatever he pleases. He takes pleasure in killing and watching others suffer.

Yet the tyrant asks the newly crowned top scholar, “My dear subject, would you be willing to enter the palace as my empress and urge me every day to be a wise ruler?”

The System, who became top scholar and planned to help someone stage a rebellion: ?

[ABO World]

The only Enigma at the top of the pyramid originally despised this world steeped in pheromones.

Later, however, he repeatedly sinks his sharp teeth into a Beta's neck. “How can you not have a gland?”

The System, who chose to be “disabled” so pheromones couldn't suppress it: ?

[Cultivation World]

The Heavenly Ladder has broken, and cultivators can no longer ascend to immortality.

All sides are fighting fiercely over the limited spiritual veins.

Meanwhile, the Demon Venerable has built a nest in the Divine Tree that Reaches the Heavens and is coaxing the phoenix: “Wouldn't it be nice if we became gods together?”

This time the System isn't left with a head full of question marks. It says coldly, “I refuse.”
