(*The Batfamily has one-sided crushes on the protagonist. A touch of a harem vibe. Gotham politics with a gacha-drawing mastermind behind the scenes!*)
(The central premise is unchanged. The blurb is still being revised and updated...)
Every superhero story needs a character like this:
Ordinary people who serve as [intermediaries], connecting heroes and helping them get in touch. Their work is intense, but they barely register and never get raises or promotions. They even have to die regularly to motivate the heroic protagonists.
They're side characters, cannon fodder, old hands, nobodies, Agent ○○, Senator ○○, Director Go○, the mentor... Finally, after years of obediently doing their jobs, they snap and quit.
Bad Boss: "This is your assignment. It's urgent, so get to Gotham and go into politics right now!
Anyway, as a [top-tier player], just be yourself. Recruit some subordinates, maintain a positive image, remember to [give the superheroes some emotional reassurance on schedule], and [make sure you die on time]!"
Stardew Valley's top-tier player, ragged and rehired across departments, Lin Nansen: "...Huh? Me?"
The street battles in Gotham's winter are heated, but they can't warm Lin Nansen's heart, chilled by his forced transfer and overtime. I just farm, you know. Do I look like someone who can do politics?
Lin Nansen diligently and cautiously followed the System's suggestions. His top priority was to use the "Homeless Gacha System" given to him by Linus, a friend he'd met in Stardew Valley, to summon some homeless companions to help him.
He did a ten-pull and got subordinates. The only problem was that the System seemed to have a slightly odd definition of "homeless"...?
Lin Nansen: "Hi, everyone. We'll be working together from today! Gotham is a dangerous city. Our job is to govern honestly, stay upright, counsel the superheroes, and then die on schedule!"
Gin, homeless after his organization went bankrupt: "...I'm supposed to govern honestly? You're the new boss?"
Professor Mori, left homeless after being swept away by a waterfall: "I am to provide you with spiritual guidance? As you wish."
The assassin, who came looking for his runaway younger brother: "Kakakakaka... (Who did you say should die?)"
From that day on, Gotham, already a city in deep trouble, somehow saw one strange incident after another, and became even more tumultuous...
Batman, his gaze growing increasingly dangerous: "..."
The Robins watching alongside him: "…"
Lin Nansen: "..."
"...Wait, I really haven't done anything! I'm an honest, ordinary guy. All I do every day is farm and rummage through trash cans!"
"...What do you mean, it's all a cover? Stop! Stop! Don't put me in handcuffs! I'm really not a crooked politician, a criminal, or a mastermind behind the scenes!"

Reader's guide:
1. Misunderstanding comedy and feel-good wish fulfillment. The down-to-earth protagonist hasn't done anything, but everyone mistakes him for an evil mastermind villain with sinister schemes (in that kind of voice). The characters drawn from the gacha come from a chaotic crossover of anime, manga, and American superhero franchises. Anything can happen.
2. A light ensemble cast. Everyone has a one-sided crush on the protagonist, with a slight harem vibe and a very mild romantic subplot, but the protagonist is completely straight and won't reciprocate anyone's feelings. No pairings in either the main story or the extras.
3. I've tried to research everything as much as possible, but the setting and timeline may still turn into a chaotic mashup. Please forgive any oversights qwq.
