Even a Socially Anxious Otaku Needs to Fall in Love!

[Complete] My darling little angel was born to be kissed to death by this crocodile! =3= [Next up: Who Says Old-School Otaku Can't Get Married!] Socially anxious Ruan Cunyun only dares to let loose in the world of anime. His three favorite things in life are: 1. Staying home and gaming, 2. Cosplay, 3. Collecting every doujinshi drawn by Artist Egg. If his coworkers found out how hopelessly otaku he was, his career would be over! On his first day at work, a coworker asked about his hobbies. Ruan Cunyun gave the fake answer and fake smile he had practiced in advance: “Sports, travel, music.” As soon as he finished, a man in a perfectly tailored suit entered his field of vision, radiating an intense air of professionalism. His coworkers greeted him deferentially: “Good morning, President Qin.” Ruan Cunyun broke out in a cold sweat. Damn, I think I saw him at a convention four years ago. Am I going to get exposed on my very first day? - Qin Fanglü, cofounder of a rapidly rising company, had built his success from nothing. His fondness for fictional characters was buried deep beneath his mature, elite exterior. None of his employees knew that this meticulous young entrepreneur had been an otaku for ten years. He had hundreds of thousands of followers online and was revered as Artist Egg, a god of the doujinshi scene. Qin Fanglü considered himself an extremely rational fictional-character-sexual. He had never fallen for a living person and had no idea how to. But then a new hire unexpectedly caught his eye. A baby face, with a cool vibe. Every now and then, he would smile and show a pair of little tiger teeth. His self-image as a fictional-character-sexual, held for over twenty years, came crashing down. How were normal young people supposed to date? The longtime otaku started learning about romance from scratch, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't seem to get it. - Ruan Cunyun & Qin Fanglü: He absolutely can't find out that I'm an otaku! ★ Two otakus both pretend to be extroverts, hilariously crash and burn, and stumble their way into a relationship. ★ Otaku who learns to love x baby-faced, incredibly cool bottom ★ 90% of the novel is behind an advance-reader paywall. ★ Reader's Guide 1. One-on-one romance, sweet, happy ending. 2. The bottom cross-dresses. 3. There is a secondary couple, but the main story focuses on the main pairing. 4. Girl, don't tell me if you're dropping this! (glares fiercely) [⚠️No reversing the pairing, breaking up the pairing, self-insert fantasies, or controlling the characters⚠️] Coming soon: My Master Took Off His Prosthetic Arm, Who Says Old-School Otaku Can't Get Married! ★ My Master Took Off His Prosthetic Arm 1. After a thousand years of reincarnation, Tang You finally opened his eyes. The world had changed completely while he slept. Human bodies were routinely enhanced with machinery. Neon lights glimmered along the streets, and people in outlandish outfits passed by like a procession of ghosts. The Immortal who had seen countless ghosts thought: Well, fashion really does go in circles. 2. The world's finest mechanic was an odd fellow. He had helped countless people with mechanical enhancements, yet refused to alter his own body. With his unadorned, natural body, he seemed out of place in this era. When people asked why he didn't get an upgrade, he said he was waiting for someone. He was afraid that if he changed himself, that person wouldn't recognize him. 3. Tang You stumbled into the shop, half his body battered and broken. He tossed a copper coin onto the counter and declared, “My hand's wrecked. Put a mechanical arm on me.” The plainly dressed mechanic looked up in surprise. After a long silence, he softly called out: “Master?” [In an age of mechanical ascension and rampant gods and demons, this suffering has endured for a thousand years. You are the only one I believe in.] [Cool, reserved disciple defies all bounds x Domineering master becomes a bottom for love] - ★ Who Says Old-School Otaku Can't Get Married! Song Fuzhi is the strictest homeroom teacher at the best high school in the city. In his early thirties, he is composed, handsome, and stylish, yet the students scatter whenever they see him. No one would guess that strict Teacher Song is secretly an old-school otaku. He watches anime, writes fanfiction, buys figurines, and is a huge fan of an old-school cosplayer called Octopus. With his powerful top energy, Octopus is known as the top of the cosplay community. That's what Song Fuzhi loves most about him. What saddens Teacher Song is that Octopus recently announced he would retire from cosplay and return to ordinary life. Song Fuzhi looked down silently at the ring on his finger. Marriage had forced him to hide his interests, and Octopus's retirement had made his already barren spiritual life even worse. - Shi Zhang and Song Fuzhi married after being introduced by their families, and everyone said they were a perfect match. A gentle, refined botany professor and a handsome, elegant math teacher made a lovely couple. But Shi Zhang knew he had struck it incredibly lucky: he had married someone he had been longing for for a long time. - Later, their peaceful married life, in which they treated each other with perfect courtesy, was thoroughly upended. Shi Zhang discovered that the cabinet that had always been locked in their home was filled with every cosplay photo book he had ever made, from his debut to his retirement. Song Fuzhi discovered that his gentle, scholarly husband, as tender as a plant, had an unbelievably dominant aura once he took off his shirt. He was so alpha that Song Fuzhi's legs went weak, as if he had stepped into one of his many dreams about Octopus. - Later still, Octopus made a comeback, accompanied by a mature, aloof man. Fans: Is this Octopus's new boyfriend? He's so handsome! Shi Zhang: This is my husband. (proud face) Theme: Cherish the people who love you
