[Abandoned. Don't read.]
Blurb:
As an ordinary person who is neither beautiful, powerful, nor tragic, Ming Yu gets bound to a manga popularity System. How is he supposed to survive?
Ming Yu sincerely asks his friend, who draws manga.
His friend replies, "There's no hope for you. You wouldn't even get to die and become someone's unforgettable white moonlight."
Ming Yu: 0-0
Unwilling to give up, Ming Yu spends all night discussing it with his friend. They realize that his only option is to ride on popular characters' coattails and force his way to the top by playing up ships.
So Ming Yu frantically farms friendship points with the popular contenders, sticking close to them to mooch off their popularity.
Popular contender number one is an arrogant little wolfdog.
At first, he lifts his chin and sneers at Ming Yu: "Have some self-awareness. Stop deluding yourself and trying to get close to me."
Later, the wolfdog lies across his lap, clutching his clothes as Ming Yu strokes his head, clinging to him with obsessive devotion: "I'll live up to your expectations, whatever they are."
Readers are confused: Huh? Where did he suddenly come from? Don't get the wrong idea, everyone! This is definitely friendship!
Popular contender number two is gentle and kind, but hard to get close to.
At first, he smiles politely and says coolly to Ming Yu, "What are you trying to do? You're in the way."
Later, he smiles and says, "You've done so much, and still you haven't achieved your goal. Why not try an easier way, like making me yours?"
Readers lean back in alarm: Fu Qiu, do you hear yourself right now!?
Popular contender number three is indifferent to the world, with only one goal: becoming stronger.
At first, he can barely conceal his hatred. "Ming Yu, I'm going to kill you!"
Later, he kisses Ming Yu's fingertips and says, "You're happy, aren't you? You've tamed me."
Readers cover their mouths and cry: What... I checked the cover, and yep, it's labeled a boys' manga! [Despair.jpg]
Ming Yu: I only wanted to farm some friendship points. No need to panic.
In short, by mooching off other people's popularity, this nobody finally manages to become someone readers notice.
But things don't go quite as planned. When powerful people interact ambiguously, it's called mutual admiration, salvation, or a meeting of souls. Without any strength of his own, Ming Yu's interactions with popular characters can only be called parasitism.
Half the manga forum ships the couples, while the other half mocks Ming Yu for haunting them relentlessly.
To survive, Ming Yu has no choice but to keep going down this road. But while he's busy trying to save himself, he doesn't notice that everyone is looking at him more and more strangely.
Finally, after his increasingly outrageous behavior, the number-one popular contender confesses to him.
His friend is horrified: "No! People just ship them for fun. Boys' manga doesn't have real gay couples. If it becomes real, you and he aren't evenly matched, and it'll backfire on you."
So, now that I've won over the number-one character, how am I supposed to hide our relationship from the readers?
Manga forum: Why do I feel like number one is acting weirder and weirder around a certain guy?
Ming Yu, using an alt account, earnestly insists: It's friendship, all friendship. You're seeing gay romance everywhere!
Content warnings:
1. The protagonist is cool on the outside but secretly flirty, a heart-stealing thief. He's imperfect and has all the worst parts of human nature, with more flaws than virtues.
2. A wish-fulfillment harem light novel with a self-indulgent tone. This is my first serious attempt at writing romance, so my ideals may be grander than reality. I'm a terminal chuunibyou, so feel free to call me out if it's cringey, but please don't argue. In short, please bear with me.
3. I've tentatively chosen the male lead in the outline, but I can't guarantee it'll be him. I also can't guarantee the protagonist will only have one boyfriend. My outlines often go off track. I'll try to stick to it, but it may change, and I'll do my best to make it work. We'll see how the story goes, so don't bet on anyone.
4. A dark-sweet story (a sweet little story that will make your vision go black). You're welcome to take the plunge.

Ah, alas, what a pity. I really like this theme, superpower + business. I'll get a refund after waiting...
I'm so stunned. It's so good. I saved it when I didn't open this article at first. I saw in the morning that it had reached chapter 30, so I read it in one go. I feel so sick, so sick, I suddenly fell into a trap, I was caught off guard. Can you mark it on the copy next time if you get scammed? If you say in your essay that you have been cheated and your copywriting is not up to standard, isn't this a trick to get people in? I can't stand it
Hug everyone, thank you for your understanding!
Friends, is there any article similar to this one? I can't find a meal replacement. I'm really sad. I feel so itchy that I can't help but cry.
I always fall in love with the same author's novels, but usually, damn it, I know it's a scam but I still fall for it, I really don't
When I first read the title, I thought it was about teammates in the entertainment industry, but I didn't expect it to be about this kind of supernatural subject! A new world view, a fairy tale!
Isn't the author updated? This article is really good, I would have paid at least 70,000 to 80,000 yuan for writing it! The important thing is that Mingyu is really good at fishing! He's seducing me!
The most interesting article in the world. . . After many years (?), I came back to visit my grave. . . . .
Still got points back...
Hug, if you feel tired, it's okay to stop and rest. Your body is the most important, and adjusting yourself is the most important. Although I am also looking forward to continuing to write, because this story has just begun, I think it can continue to develop. After all, the story is really exciting, and I also like it very much, but I don't want my wife to have too much pressure because of it, so, see you again when I am destined.
