How to Become a Popular Character in a Comic

[It's a sweet little treat, ovo] [No secret identity reveals] There's an exclusive bonus-story collection on my profile, "If You Had a Jar of Candy." Come on over for some sweets~ The villains: They come charging at me, shouting about friendship and bonds. [The Serious Synopsis]: Mo Xuanji always thought he was an ordinary human being, destined to live an ordinary life. But the arrival of the world-saving System shattered that illusion. And so, one night, a powerful figure named Yuheng burst onto the scene. He was mysterious and mighty. Just standing there was enough to make everyone feel safe. His origins were a mystery. People could only catch glimpses of his tragic past through scattered words. He was the protagonist's team’s rock, yet he was destined to fall before dawn. Readers on the comics forum adored him, went crazy for him, and banged their heads against the wall over him. [Watching old friends die or turn evil, he was already running on empty, but still chose to hold on until the very end. Sob, sob, my love, listen to me, let's go home.] [He had everything arranged, but never once considered his own future, because he never expected to survive :) ] [You heartless old bastard!] [He cared so much about the protagonist's team. He must have seen his past self and his old friends in them. Seriously, I'm crying so hard.] [Yuheng, my new beautiful, strong, tragic love.] Huh? Beautiful, strong, and tragic? Who are you talking about? Mo Xuanji, wearing Yuheng's secret identity, enjoying hot pot and singing while playing chess with his friends, fell into deep thought. He cared about the protagonist's team because they were his buddies! He was part of the protagonist's team too, okay? Sure, Yuheng looked miserable, but that was all the System's doing! He was perfectly fine! (System: ? Don't drag me into this.) What he didn't know was that after his explanation, the readers cried even harder, and even his friends started looking at him strangely. "You... So you've been silently shouldering all of this while we had no idea." "Don't always bear everything alone. Please try relying on us, senior!" "No matter the cost, I'll bring you back safe and sound." "Ask Not of Heaven's Secrets" is the latest hit comic by popular artist Liuhe. It tells the "heartwarming" story of a passionate young man and his like-minded friends supporting one another as they pursue their dreams and save the world. But readers on the forum had one thing to say: this is messed up. About the setting: 1. A secret identity is always just a secret identity. It never develops a will of its own. 2. There is a System, which appears as the protagonist's guide and doesn't get much page time. 3. The protagonist's team: a cool guy, a sunny and cheerful young man, and a reliable big-sister type. 4. There aren't many secret identities in the early part. Most of it is the protagonist and his friends spending time together. The secret identities appear more often as the story progresses (especially in the Millennium Arc). 5. This is a fictional world unrelated to reality. Now accepting advance reservations~ "The Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic One's Guide to Self-Cultivation" [Interstellar] [No CP] Good news: You're in a full-dive game, and the logout button has been disabled. Bad news: The planet beneath your feet is going to explode in seven days. Not wanting to die without knowing why, the player casually put on a character template and started living it up. But for some reason, the more NPCs he met, the stranger they looked at him, as if they were full of pity. The player, using a pitiful little character template without realizing it: ??? Wait, are you serious about the counseling? And why are you clinging to my leg and begging me not to die? The new-generation full-dive game "Journey to Find the Stars" is now in a hot closed beta. Click the link below to claim your test access~ Version 0.10.0 ★ The current version's [Star of Eternal Night] map is now open. ★ Survival system testing ★ Combat system testing ★ Smart system testing (Link? What link? The cat ate the link.) Reader's guide: 1. The game takes place in an interstellar setting, with a fourth-disaster premise. 2. At heart, the protagonist is a sunny, cheerful young man with the sparkle removed from his eyes. He's carefree and doesn't do angst. 3. There are supernatural abilities and beast transformations, but this is not an interstellar beastfolk setting. 4. Regarding future technology and social structures: the author's knowledge is limited, and most of it is made up, with no scientific basis or theoretical foundation. It only applies to this world. Theme: Make the world a better place by exercising human agency.
