A Straight-Man Heartthrob Plays a Background Character to Win You Over

An apparently passive but clearheaded, rational love interest x a gentle protagonist who acts mischievous, with a dark, lovesick core

Character art drawn by a close friend, depicting the protagonist's original-world appearance (eternally grateful)

One second, he was hit and sent to the underworld by a driver who accidentally stepped on the wrong pedal. The next, he was offered a chance to come back to life in another world, at the cost of signing an employment contract and working for them.

His beginner-level task: play an extra and check off plot points.

The task wasn't difficult, but the love interest's preferences were a little dangerous.

World One: Everyday Life as a Campus Extra (Complete)

He diligently played an extra and checked off plot points, thinking he could finish the task without a hitch,

if only the two protagonists hadn't confessed to him.

World Two: Everyday Life on a Variety Show as a Pretty Cannon Fodder (Complete)

A resource-backed cannon-fodder character with nothing but good looks tries to get noticed on a hugely popular variety show.

The protagonists get both romance and plot development. Surely this acting task won't go wrong this time.

But do they have to make out even when it's a boy-girl script?

World Three: Everyday Life with a Zombie Lord and His Underling (Complete)

He beats up a future zombie lord and takes him in as an underling, then steals the protagonist away to be his cook.

When they meet again, the black-hearted dumpling who greets him with a smile and calls him "Teacher Gu" is the protagonist?

The underling has become a true lord, but he still hasn't forgotten his original purpose.

I admit you're the boss now. Just don't...

World Four: Everyday Life in a Cyberpunk Full-Dive Game (Complete) (The writing didn't flow well, so feel free to skip it if you don't like it.)

Top-tier star Gu Miao spends his day off trying out a newly released full-dive game.

His peaceful life soon becomes lively.

An intelligent AI android who looks just like him, a childhood friend he's close to, and a new junior colleague at his company all seem to be hiding secrets they can't tell him.

Several unfamiliar yet familiar faces appear in his memories, as if their lives have been intertwined with his in countless ways.

What are his incomplete memories hiding?

A love interest with nothing on his mind but going home x a protagonist with nothing on his mind but romance

P.S. He's popular with everyone, but not all of it is romantic; it just means people like him, including as family and friends. The protagonist pursues the love interest. The story won't deliberately make either of them suffer; events will follow the plot.

Upcoming novel: The "Pet" Lover in My Phone

Overworked office worker love interest x 2D character protagonist

Cheng An is an ordinary office worker with something a little unusual about him. He's had three unhealthy relationships, and the way he attracts abnormal people has made him wary of romance.

At first, he only played games to kill time at work. He thought it was a casual game, but it turned out to be overwhelmingly romance-focused.

If it's just a game, maybe he can have a normal relationship however he likes.

As he works his way through the character illustrations and affection levels, everything starts going wrong.

Loading game...

The game NPC comes home reeking of alcohol, carrying a gift: your favorite dessert.

You choose...

Did you buy this dessert especially for me? I'm so happy, thank you! (Affection +3)

His damp hair clings to his cheek. His clothes are soaked, growing thin and transparent. A chain hangs against his collarbone and chest. The sounds of water and breathing mingle, hot steam rises against your face, and you feel as if you're melting too.

A game menu appears before you.

1. Help him wash up and relieve his fatigue after a long day (Available if his affection is at least 75)

2. Have something to sober up with. (Drinks -1, 6 remaining)

3. Leave right away. Surely he can't get drunk from just this much. (Do you really want to be so cruel?)

Confirm selection. Drinks -1, affection +2

After drinking, he seems a little more sober. His misty eyes turn to you, pitiful and adorable.

He's a feast for the eyes, and the hunger rising inside you leaves you at a loss.

You choose...

1. It's mealtime. How about making a bowl of noodles? (Fullness +5)

2. He looks delicious. How about taking a bite? (Mood +5)

3. How should beastfolk meat be cooked? Sweet and spicy, of course! (Sanity -3)

The love interest has an ex; the protagonist doesn't. Their positions never switch.

They dote on each other, and the protagonist falls first.

The love interest tends to attract abnormal people, such as stalkers and peeping toms with mental problems and low morals.

Not everyone is a pervert; he just tends to attract them.

There are lots of gaming and office scenes, with plenty of dialogue and everyday moments.

Theme: He may be an extra, but he's the star of his own story
