A Solo Fan's Dream Come True

[Solo stan fans rejoice (not really)]

[Coming soon: The Haitani Brothers Confessed to Me After I Cross-Dressed [Tokyo Revengers]]

[For details, see below the blurb.]

Blurb:

Haruna Kanade is an ordinary high school student. One day, he gets bound to a livestream System and starts streaming his high school life.

The first thing he does on stream is promote his classmate Kawakami, who is extremely popular, beautiful, aloof, and sharp-tongued.

Kawakami is the one and only favorite of many people, and he's Haruna's favorite, too. As a shallow person who loves pretty faces, Haruna plans to stan him until graduation.

But he never expected Kawakami to be targeted by a murderer and brutally killed!

Looking at Tomie's funeral photo, Haruna Kanade transfers schools with tears in his eyes, leaving behind a place full of painful memories. But he never expected to run into a boy who looked exactly like Tomie, and the boy was also named Tomie.

Great. As a man who loves pretty faces, he'll keep stanning him and stick to his plan.

But before long, that one died, too.

Unwilling to give up, Haruna ran into another Tomie at the hospital. He hadn't even officially started stanning him, and Tomie ended up being brought to the hospital the next day as a corpse without a breath left in him.

Haruna began to question his life. “What's going on? Is Kawakami so prone to misfortune?”

[Instead of wondering why he's so unlucky, shouldn't you be shocked by how many people are named Tomie?]

[There's no need to be shocked. There are lots of beautiful people in the world. It's a blessing bestowed on them by the world.]

[Well, there's no point looking into it now. They're all dead.]

[Don't be sad. If you can't stan Tomie, you can stan someone else.]

[But is there anyone more beautiful than Tomie?]

The people in the livestream couldn't come up with a single example.

In the end, the world took back these beautiful masterpieces and made them face the bleakness of life.

He only had to endure that bleak life for a few days before a new Tomie appeared.

Haruna Kanade: “Did my stan power move the gods?”

Tomie, who had heard Haruna speak, didn't humor him at all. “You call that stanning me?”

Haruna Kanade: “I've always stanned Tomie. From that perspective, I'm a devoted solo stan.”

[One stan, one death. Haruna's taste is consistent, and so is Tomie's death rate.]

[Is Haruna the Grim Reaper? Should we warn Tomie to stay away from him?]

After discovering the secrets behind Tomie's death and rebirth, Haruna Kanade got cold feet. “I don't think I can keep stanning Tomie anymore.”

[One stan, one death. One dies, a whole crowd comes back to life. SOS!]

[New Tomies appearing anytime, anywhere?]

Tomie: “Am I really that easy to get rid of?”

Haruna Kanade shook his head.

No. There really were too many Tomies now.

His solo-stan-fan-ecstatic mode had switched to solo-stan-fan-exhausted mode.

Today, he still wanted to quit being a fan!

*

Tomie never lacked people who liked him. Haruna Kanade was just one of them. Whenever he saw Haruna's gaze, he felt provoked.

That was because Haruna's eyes held no crazed infatuation or sense that he had to have Tomie and no one else, yet he claimed that Tomie was his favorite.

And the facts proved it. Haruna stanned countless Tomies, and afterward, his eyes remained just as they had before.

It annoyed Tomie. Haruna Kanade's affection was so shallow.

“Actually, I was only going to stan Tomie until I graduated.”

“I want to end my solo-stan career early now.”

Haruna Kanade's words made Tomie even angrier.

“Am I really that easy to get rid of?”

Coming Soon: “After Long Lian of The Story of Saiunkoku Spoiled That I'd Have Bad Luck”

[I Seem to Have Reached the Pinnacle of Life]

[Also known as: “Promoting the Lan Province in Saiunkoku” and “It Doesn't Matter Where I Promote the Lan Province”]

[Before reading a BL novel, check the POV! This one is primarily from the bottom's point of view!]

When my childhood friend Long Lian was about to take the imperial examination, I was stunned.

Looking at his free-spirited outfit, I couldn't imagine what he had to do with the imperial court!

But if he was taking the exam, then I'd go with him.

It's what a childhood friend should do.

I thought he would be moved by what I did,

but instead, he told me I was going to have bad luck soon.

Long Lian's predictions... rarely turn out to be wrong.

I got nervous and grabbed Long Lian, telling him that if I had bad luck, we'd have it together.

But Long Lian said it was my fate and that I should accept it.

I told him our friendship was over!

I waited for misfortune to come knocking, and then

I got bound to a livestream System.

Seeing people from another world watching my daily life,

I was delighted. How was this bad luck? It was like the Eight Immortals of Saiunkoku themselves had come to bring me happiness!

After starting the livestream, my daily life became all about promoting the Lan Province and discovering its beauty! Special note: pandas, the Lan clan leader (the triplets), and Long Lian's flute playing are all top-notch! Honest and reliable, with no personal bias! I stake my reputation and Long Lian's flute playing on it!

The livestream viewers who heard Long Lian's flute playing: “...” (They've passed out. Please help.) Also, Qing Pinjing's character isn't that great either. He often lands a devastating blow on them, SOS!

Eating food made from recipes shared by the online MasterChef fans, I felt so happy.

I thought I could stay happy forever, but then Long Lian actually ran off after placing second in the imperial exam.

Me, after my parents and older brother told me to be a good official: “?!”

Me, assigned to work under the Minister of Personnel, who hates people from the Lan Province: “...”

I feel like I'm going to die young, but then I remember I still have the important mission of promoting the Lan Province, and I can live another hundred years.
