Writing Novels in the Interstellar Era

[The super-popular new found-family story, Atypical Found Family, is now updating!] Novelist Yu Mian accidentally transmigrates into a down-and-out mermaid and arrives in the space age. Yu Mian tries to return to his old career: Friends from the stars, want to learn about groveling exes? Fantasy leveling adventures? A redemption story about transmigrating into a book? From that day on, a mysterious new author emerges in the stars, publishing stories that are both fresh and exhilarating. At first, the people of the stars, who had never read stories like these before: Ugh, how weird! What kind of nonsense is this? …Let me read one more page. Later on: [Frantic daily thread: Has the ex started groveling yet? Can we hold the funeral banquet now? Has the author updated…] [Cliffside warning sign: There are caves, but no secret manuals, and no mysterious old men! Please queue up for an official cliff-jumping slot. You are responsible for all consequences!] [Interstellar orphanage crisis statement: Please leave the poor children with tragic pasts alone… Stop asking, they really are all ordinary people!] * Until one day, the identity of an author who had repeatedly stirred up bloody storms is accidentally exposed. The address points straight to the Huo residence, and the whole universe is horrified: Holy crap, the aloof big shot is secretly…?! After the inexplicably “defamed” Huo Ting opens the study door, he discovers that the little fish he raised in the aquarium is gone. In its place is a young man typing at his desk, with a golden tail swaying behind him… #Yu Mian, caught freeloading on the Wi-Fi and writing to start a business: Sure, I borrowed your fancy aquarium, but the pearls you put by my pillow were obviously rent! QwQ# ● Completed works in the author’s column: The Chubby Little Birdie, A Guide to Raising Mermaid Babies, and Monster Caretaker. All nice and hefty, ready to binge! ● Please take home the completed work Monster Caretaker! Lin Ran binds himself to a game that’s said to let you raise little babies with your own hands. Strangely, every creature he picks up is missing something: a baby bat with one wing missing, a fierce little leopard with one ear missing… and a bad-tempered, bald lion cub? But that’s okay. They’re adorable, too. Grab them and ruffle their fur, watch their ears twitch. Such good little things. Let’s fatten them up! So the number of strange and ferocious little creatures around Lin Ran keeps growing. * Lately, all the monsters have been talking about a new human NPC in the Demon Realm game. He’s incredibly handsome, smiles so gently, and ranks first in the popularity poll. Everyone wants to draw an interaction card with this NPC! In response, the golden-maned lion gives a cold snort and arrogantly presents an S-rank golden romance card. Lin Ran: Oh? Of course you can pick me up and kiss me. Shao Mian: …! * But the next day, all sorts of strange interaction cards are piled up outside the kindergarten. Lin Ran, instantly buried under them: Uh… brushing fur? Washing paws? Rubbing bellies? Shao Mian: ?▼-▼ (angry) After Shao Mian bristles, scowls, transforms, and carries Lin Ran away in his mouth, all the monsters waiting patiently nearby are stunned. Huh, even the great Demon King secretly plays the game! Worst of all, he’s CHEATING! [Furious mob, pointing fingers] Theme: Build cultural confidence and create a strong cultural nation.
