The Theory of Conan's Popularity

Some people don't want to be saved, and they don't want to go to heaven, either. Kanda Junya is one of them.

He thought he would have to keep living in a daze like this, eventually becoming a pool of muck in the darkness. Then, by chance, he was bound to a System, and it seemed like there might be hope after all.

"Become the most popular, earn enough from manga merchandise, and I can grant all your wishes."

"Don't ask questions, and don't question me. You have no choice but to accept."

Warnings and disclaimers:

1. The protagonist is a bona fide criminal (?) Though he dislikes the organization, he's still a bad person at heart. Maybe I should call him watered-down liquor. He's not a virgin, and the characters' values in this story do not represent the author's.

2. There are some original settings. So far, this is a crossover with Kakegurui and Revival Man. I might heavily rewrite the modern AU of Code Geass; I don't know yet if there will be more crossovers. It all depends on what my brain comes up with that day.

This is a low-power, low-fantasy crossover with Detective Conan as the main setting. Akako can use magic, and Shi Huan can come back to life. Code and Geass abilities don't actually exist, but there are legends and research related to them (?). To be decided.

Lots of OOC. I've eaten all the plot holes. The author has no brain; if the characters seem stupid, that's not their fault, it's because the author can't think things through.

3. The protagonist has no heart, but he will push ships. Characters may develop feelings for him later, hence the "true love" tag.

I'm terrible at writing romance, though, so it probably won't be anything wholesome x

4. This is purely self-indulgent, purely self-indulgent, purely self-indulgent (important things bear repeating). The plot is freewheeling and capricious, and I may change the story at any time, so please click with caution. Thank you so much.

5. It's mentioned in the outline (see "Outline and Settings"), but I'll say it again: Xiao Chun will fake his death, and will really die in the end. No resurrection, possession, reincarnation, or deus ex machina for this. I love changing everything else, but I won't change this. Over.

In short, this is a brainless, self-indulgent story (I'm certain of it).

No guarantees I'll finish it. Updates whenever, purely self-indulgent.
