The Feel-Bad Manga Ender

[A quick note: Please try not to post spoilers in the early chapters qwq. I'll clean up comments that might contain spoilers in a bit. I'm sorry in advance to anyone who gets caught in the crossfire.] (If you see someone guess a later plot detail correctly, please try not to comment things like “no spoilers” underneath. That would let them know they guessed right.) (If you really can't resist, you can stack five comments in a row before venting. Please don't post it in the paragraph comments. Thanks, everyone qwq.) Bad news: Hu Shuhan has transmigrated into a dangerous comic where people can die at any moment, and he has no idea how to get back. Good news: He's been following this comic for a long time and knows the setting well, so he should be able to stay alive for now. Even better news: Hu Shuhan has a cheat ability that lets him see comic updates. Best news: Hu Shuhan is a huge fan of one of the characters in the comic! And he's an over-the-top superfan!!! Hu Shuhan, who just escaped being killed from the start: “Aaaah, I can't believe I finally get to meet my fave in person! Aaaah, the godlike Hailiu, here I come!!!!!” After the popular ensemble comic Mirror City, hailed as “healing” and “heartwarming,” was named “Scam Comic of the Year,” a new character suddenly appeared, completely at odds with its otherwise depressing atmosphere. The new character was called Bai Niao. He had white hair and blue eyes, with vivid red highlights at the ends of his hair. No matter what he did, he never felt out of character. When the “Prophet” was about to kill himself because his sanity was too low, Bai Niao called over his girlfriend, delighted to watch the drama unfold. “All right, all right, Meiyu, go ahead and die! Your girlfriend will come join you afterward!” The “Prophet,” Meiyu Jiji, who was hopelessly love-struck: ? When the “Magician” was preparing to put himself in danger and defect to the enemy in search of clues, Bai Niao encouraged one of his teammates right in front of him. “Duckie, your wife's about to run off! What are you waiting for? Go get her!” The “Magician,” Xiang Cangsha, who had been too afraid to confess to his beloved for years: ?? When the “Time Looper” was about to use his own death to activate his ability and correct the plot, Bai Niao threw himself at him. “Hailiu, my darling! How am I supposed to live without you?” The “Time Looper,” Chui Hailiu, whose ability temporarily stopped working whenever someone touched him directly: ??? Readers who had been emotionally scarred by the comic's relentlessly depressing plot, where one character died every chapter, wanted to put Bai Niao on a pedestal: [Bai, the flag-pulling superhero dedicated to killing the writer's plans! He pulled everyone's death flags down single-handedly. Hurry up and thank Bai!] [Are you telling me you don't ship Hailiu and Bai Niao? I'm shipping them first!] [Please, the new chapter has to include Bai! Bai has to get them a HE!] Hu Shuhan, who had accidentally become a popular comic character while playing “Bai Niao”: “A mere HE? Leave it to me!” The male lead has no romantic pairing. His relationships with everyone else are platonic. The flashbacks may pack a lot of angst, but it's fine. Our Bai will make sure every tragedy-loving bad-ending warrior gets taken out equally, then drag the whole team onto the HE route :) Japanese-style horror-exploration RPG Theme: Long live friendship!
