Do Cosplayers Have to Have Fictional Character Best Friends?

Check out my completed works in the author's column: You Got Stabbed, What Does That Have to Do with Me, a Cosplayer? Ongoing: I'm Not an Octopus. Watch an octopus girl boldly invade the Batcave! Yan Su has a huge group of friends, of course, the online kind. Each of them has their own talents, and they all seem to be rich. For example, he casually complained in their group chat that he wanted to cosplay but had no money, and the very next day he received a transfer, albeit in yen. It seems all his friends are Japanese. As the only Chinese member, he's the one everyone in the group dotes on. But after he cosplayed all the popular characters from the currently trending series Bungo Stray Dogs and posted the pictures in the group, some of his friends fell silent. Yan Su assumed they didn't like the show, so he cosplayed every character from the wildly popular Jujutsu Kaisen. Some of his friends fell silent again. Yan Su figured his friends must be out of touch, so he doubled down and cosplayed characters from the long-running series Detective Conan. Then the rest of his friends fell silent. Yan Su: ??? From the friends' point of view: During his student days, Gojo Satoru added an online friend. They chatted for a long time, and one day, the friend complained in their group chat about being broke. As the head of the Gojo family, he generously transferred fifty million yen to his online friend. A few days later, he saw that his friend had posted a picture in the group. Curious, he clicked on it. And saw... himself, beaten and bloody. Gojo: ??? The world's greatest detective met someone interesting online. They had a lot in common, and one day, he saw his online friend complain in their group chat about being broke. As a key member of the Armed Detective Agency, the detective generously transferred ten million yen to his online friend. A few days later, he saw that his friend had posted a picture in the group. Curious, he clicked on it. And saw what seemed to be another version of himself. The detective: ...?? An unnamed hard worker from a certain liquor company met an online friend he rather liked. One day, he saw the friend complain in their group chat about being broke. As an outlaw, he lit a cigarette and generously transferred five million yen to his online friend. A few days later, he saw that his friend had posted a picture in the group. With nothing better to do, he clicked on it. And saw... himself, smoking in a maid outfit. The hard worker: ??????? Reading Guide No romance. OOC is unavoidable. Six days on, one day off. No updates on Wednesdays. Updates will most likely be around midnight, though sometimes they may be late. I'll announce any missed updates. The protagonist takes center stage after Chapter 18. They don't get much screen time early on, so if you want to read about them, you can start from Chapter 19. Much love~ The early chapters have a serious tone, a serious tone, a serious tone, a serious tone. Things get lighter after the male lead appears. There are more people in the friend group than the ones mentioned in the blurb. Everyone who can appear will appear.
