[Third-person narration] [Updates may be irregular due to work. To make it up to readers waiting for updates, I'm letting them read new chapters for free right now (prostrating myself)] [Coming soon: My Fourth Calamity Knows No Bounds / After Dazai Stabbed Me in the Back Three Times.

As an NPC in Yokohama's urban-superpower manga, Morikawa Dan thought his work was done after the manga switched from serialization to a complete series. But when he looked up, he found that the set had changed?!
A grade-schooler wearing a red bow tie was staring at him suspiciously.
Morikawa Dan didn't panic at all. Morikawa Dan pulled out his phone. Morikawa Dan logged into the manga forum.
* * *
#That new character is so handsome. Is he a main character?!
Thanks. I'm the protagonist, and I'm about to blow up this set.
#He's dressed in black, so he must be a real whisky! Will the Black Organization finally get a reliable ally?
Thanks. I'm wearing black because I just came from a funeral, but I'm off to get tangled up with the Organization now.
#Don't you think he looks familiar? Isn't he just a tiny bit like that guy from the Mafia manga next door? A dream crossover?
Thanks. That's me, and I'm trying to get back to my original set to do some saving.
* * *
Morikawa Dan used to look forward to a life full of twists and turns, like a manga.
Now Morikawa Dan only wants the so-called manga protagonist's life to go up, then down, down, down, down, down.
* * *
My name is Morikawa Dan. I'm the XX that [Tan] was fished out of the Tsurumi [River] by [Mori] Rintaro.
Now my name is Patus.
Reader Tips:
1. The protagonist is in the Mafia. The story does not express any views about real life.
2. The story features a manga forum and a manga that updates in real time. The protagonist can see both the manga and the forum.
3. This isn't a mystery. The characters' intelligence is limited by the author's, and their combat abilities by the author's imagination. Some canon characters may seem weaker than in the original, but there will be no tearing them down!
4. The pairing is Kuroto, with my own take on the characters.
5. Canon pairings may be broken up as the plot requires (for example, Shu and Akemi). No secondary pairings.
6. The timeline is chaotic, all in service of the plot.
7. Kuroto setting (adopted by the Miyano family), Gin has blond hair that turns silver, and Uncle Mouri is hiding his abilities.
8. The Police Academy group doesn't need saving. Everyone is alive.
9. The main plot is Detective Conan, with Yokohama as a side plot, plus other anime crossovers (such as the Italian seafood family, the Ikebukuro chatroom, and the god of the 2D world). The Detective Conan world will not merge with worlds that are excessively supernatural. The Tokyo religious school gets less than 2% of the story, with almost no plot but some very important setting details.

·At first·
[GM] Is this player a newbie? Choosing such contradictory achievement goals, do they even want to earn points?
Zhen: It's a game. What's the point if there's no challenge?
-The player created a character, became a low-ranking member of the Black Organization, diligently completed a series of missions, and the day after receiving his codename, turned around and enrolled in the police academy.
"It's an honor to work toward the same goal as all of you," the black-haired young man said beneath the cherry trees, reaching out to his classmates in Onizuka's class with a sincere, radiant smile. "I hope we can all become excellent police officers."
·Later·
[GM] You treated the trust meter like an affection meter! Don't you feel guilty facing both the Red and Black factions?
Zhen: It's just a game. Why take it seriously?
-After maxing out his classmates' trust, the player graduated with top marks and went straight back to the Organization, carefully climbing the ranks until his position soared.
"Put down your gun, Rye." The black-haired young man cocked his Desert Eagle and aimed at the two men facing off on the rooftop. His cold gaze moved between them. "Scotch is my prey."
·At the end·
[GM] Dear player, congratulations on completing the Red and Black faction achievement challenges! Welcome to the next round. Your current points are XXX. Becoming an S-rank big shot is just around the corner!
Zhen: What's the next game? I can hardly wait.
-Amidst a sea of flames, the player grabbed the silver hair of the Organization's top killer. As the man stared in shock, he forced him to witness the destruction of this century-old organization.
"The game's over, darling." The black-haired young man stroked his lover's back and whispered a cruel farewell in his ear. "I had a wonderful time. Thanks for having me."

After Dazai Stabbed Me in the Back Three Times
[Third-person narration] [This story is entirely fictional] [Please don't apply fictional characters' behavior to real life]
Tsuno Dan thought of himself as a stray dog that Tsushima Shuji had taken in.
Once a stray becomes a pet, it should put away its fangs, tuck its tail between its legs, and devote itself wholly to its master.
But he didn't know that Tsushima Shuji had never liked dogs.
Perhaps cats and dogs were simply born unable to coexist?
In the final moments of his life, Tsuno Dan finally understood.
* * *
"So, will you leave the Port Mafia and join the Kiheitai?" After the superpower war, his long-unseen senior invited Tsuno Dan to join him. "We ought to work together and overthrow everything that's rotten."
Tsuno Dan thought it over, then firmly shook his head.
"What, are you still hung up on that man who stabbed you in the back?" His senior scoffed, clearly exasperated. "After defecting, that man joined the Armed Detective Agency. Are you still going to look for him?"
"Not exactly." Tsuno Dan's gaze darkened. "Actually, I just finished working overtime for the Decay of the Angel, and the boss of Millefiore is still urging me to hurry up and get the rings. Besides, the offer from the Time Vessel Association has come in several times, and I feel bad continuing to turn down the commission from 'Words of the Underworld', "
"Isn't that great?" His senior was a little displeased, but still pleased for him. "You shouldn't have confined yourself to this little port city for so long."
"But if I have too much work, there'll be no one to look after the cat at home." Tsuno Dan sighed, wearing a peculiar smile. "It took me so long to catch that one. It's my most precious pet."
Reader Tips:
1. The protagonist's position is explained in the blurb. The story does not express any views about real life.
2. The pairing is Dan and Dazai. Expect melodrama.
3. The worlds are merged: there is love and curses, gods and divine weapons, yokai, supernatural abilities, and flames, but no aliens.
4. The timeline is chaotic, all in service of the plot.
5. Many personal settings (for example, the battlefield of the JOY4 is the Island of the Night).
Theme: Even if the world is fake, the feelings we share with others are worth remembering for a lifetime. Don't give up on pursuing sincere feelings just because the world is fake.
Teacher, wow, wow, I really want to read the book about Dazai and Tan, wow, wow, I will work hard and live well, please, let me see it in my lifetime, I can wait no matter how long, I really want to read it, I really want to read it [continue][continue][continue]
Author, when will you finish writing this one and then write the one about Tan and Zai?
Wow, to be honest, I have never read this novel three times. Once I read it, I realized that it is really super good-looking. Although I was a little disappointed when I read it earlier, I clearly recommend Ling Ling and Zai Zai. Double recommendation should be double happiness.
[Laughing and crying] [Spreading Flowers] has been updated. It will be smoother if you have to watch it from the beginning every time.
Damn it, I've forgotten what I said before [covering face, laughing and crying]
It felt like a long time had passed, and when I was filling in the hole, I vaguely felt that the hole was getting bigger.
It's here, it's updated, but I don't remember where the plot is.
I went to update it, it's so brain-burning, so complicated, and I love it [poor]
The update is great, looking forward to the next chapter
Madam, do you have any plans to update the next chapter?
