After accidentally clicking a phishing link, Uno Suisei was selected by the System and transported to the supposedly peaceful Beika Town.
The System said that whatever she was holding at the end would become her golden finger. It was a volume of the Detective Conan manga.
Each day's experiences would be recorded in a comic and uploaded across the myriad worlds. By liking, reposting, and commenting all at once, she could build popularity and unlock the ability to edit the next day's content.
She was just about to see what would happen the next day. But as soon as she opened the book, she saw herself lying dead in the street, brutally slain.
Uno Suisei: ?
It was confirmed: this was a blessed place where you could choke to death just by drinking water or suffocate while eating. Getting randomly picked by a murderer and stabbed eighteen times while waiting for a red light definitely counted as bad luck.
The System told her she had one initial edit. By inserting a blank panel and drawing something in it, she could reverse her death.
Uno Suisei thought for a moment, then decisively chose to insert a panel before the murderer's raised blade struck her: Mickey Mouse.
Naturally, what came next was censored by the most powerful legal department in the Western Hemisphere.
She also got seven blank panels, which helped her survive the early stretch when her popularity was low. Otherwise, dying a little every three days and a lot every five, she probably wouldn't have lived to see the ending.
The System was amazed, but sternly warned her that no more copyright-infringing content was allowed. Any violation would result in her golden finger being taken away.
Uno Suisei hurriedly studied the most popular works on the market and finally figured out that the first requirement for becoming a hit was having complicated relationships, preferably involving grudges between two generations.
Complicated relationships were easy enough. But as for two generations...
Got it!
One sunny afternoon, an unwelcome guest arrived at 2-22 Beika Town. The moment she came inside, she threw her arms around the bewildered Ai Haibara and burst into tears.
"My child! Mom finally found you!"
The story of a high school girl who had a child out of wedlock and lost her way, only to find her son again years later: the father alone could keep them arguing for hundreds of episodes.
Uno Suisei cried even harder.
Professor Agasa, who felt he'd invited a wolf into his home, was so frightened by the crazy woman that he pulled out his phone and called the police.
Subaru Okiya, next door, heard the commotion and didn't even bother making an excuse. He grabbed his gear and went straight to help.
When Conan got the news, he feared the Organization was making a move and raced over on his skateboard.
At Café Poirot, Rei Furuya saw him through the window. He took off his apron, asked for leave on the spot, and followed him.
See? Now that's a hook.
The popular characters are all flooding over here on their own. Hey, let's talk this out, don't put me in handcuffs! I didn't kidnap a child!
