[Ding! Host Shenli Yuhe has been bound.]

[Host, fill in for the missing key characters and play all three roles to keep the story moving.]

-

A supporting character with the same name? Shenli Yuhe didn't think there'd be any problem playing a character who shared his name.

But how was he supposed to play three characters?

And one of them was even a sweet, charming female lead!

To return to the real world, Shenli Yuhe gritted his teeth and changed between the male and female outfits, while the System helped him run back and forth between Tokyo and Yokohama.

He turned himself evil for himself, locked himself up, gained supernatural powers and cursed techniques for himself, and fought himself for himself.

For example:

Shenli Yuhe gained the ability "My Love Is a Sickness" after falling for Hashimoto Shiyue. He healed people with heart-shaped beams of light and earned himself the role of the healer.

Then Hashimoto Shiyue turned around and abandoned Shenli Yuhe, running into the arms of Xingye Che. Shenli Yuhe successfully turned evil, and his ability mutated into "Niu Gulu: My Love Is a Sickness."

Shenli Yuhe was supposed to kidnap himself according to the script, but suddenly found himself surrounded and cut off.

His friends from when he was Hashimoto Shiyue came rushing over.

"Hand over Shiyue!"

"Shenli Yuhe, don't make me shoot."

"Shiyue!"

His friends from when he was Shenli Yuhe said:

"Yuhe, it's okay. If she doesn't like you, there's no need to force it."

"How could Yuhe go and like someone else behind my back?"

"If Yuhe wants to kidnap someone, that must be the weretiger's fault."

No worries. Shenli Yuhe barely broke through the encirclement, immediately put on Xingye Che's secret identity, and followed the plot to go save himself (Hashimoto Shiyue).

Then he heard his beloved teacher speak to him with a bright smile.

"It'd be nice if Shenli and Shiyue got together."

Though...

But...

Why were these "background NPCs" looking at him more and more strangely? And they were interfering with the plot, too. How rude.

Shenli, confused JPG.

1. The protagonist is universally adored, with romantic interest arrows pointing at him from every direction, men and women alike. All kinds of pairings. Elementary-school-level writing.

2. Shenli is warm on the outside and cold within, with a bit of a chuunibyou streak. Early on, he treats people like Dazai as nothing but characters on a screen. His attitude changes later.

3. Purity fans, stay away! The protagonist may fall for people or get together with them along the way, but the ending may have no couple or may not end with anyone he dated during the story.

4. Shenli Yuhe's secret identity is the main character in Bungo Stray Dogs; Hashimoto Shiyue's secret identity is the main character in Detective Conan; Xingye Che's secret identity is the main character in Jujutsu Kaisen.

5. Canon pairings will be broken up.

Currently writing Making Friends Every Day

If not for his death, Ito Qi would never have realized that he was in a comic-book world. There were two ways to stay alive:

1. Make friends with popular characters to keep his life points from running out.

2. Ito Qi had to find the protagonist, befriend him, and max out his affection to put an end to his death once and for all.

But Ito Qi didn't even know who the protagonist was, so all he could do was keep making friends.

☆ The main story has no romantic pairing. Everyone gets a bonus story, and there are tons of people with crushes on the protagonist. The protagonist is a straight guy with a screw-loose personality.

Theme: Even fictional characters have feelings!
