Even If I'm Just a Background Character in a Manga, I'll Still Be Your Fan!

Gan Ye was the top employee at the transmigration bureau.

But after she was assigned to this comic world as a background character and tasked with keeping it running normally, her once-impressive performance rating plummeted.

The comic was called Otherworld. Its author was unknown, but one chapter suddenly shot to the top of the trending charts.

At the start of the comic, a young man with gray-and-white hair stood with his hands in his pockets. His lean physique was outlined in sharp lines, while a monster exploding behind him became her backdrop.

The hashtag #Otherworld Test Subject 3839 instantly started trending.

Gan Ye had no idea she was famous. She was still working hard to salvage her perfect record of five-star reviews.

Though Gan Ye didn't think she would succeed. The people around her always gave her looks that were hard to describe.

In this bizarre, surreal world, Gan Ye calmly crushed the grotesque monster in front of her. Its enormous body crumbled into black-and-white specks and disappeared, like the world itself was scattering glory around her.

That is, if you overlooked the fact that Gan Ye had once again saved up all her tasks and finished them in a single day.

Only when the world inside and outside the comic fully merged, and the twisted monsters began devouring the entire world, did the truth come to light. People finally realized:

She really was both powerful and pitiful!

Exhausted and constantly on the run, Gan Ye had to follow the comic's plot during the day to keep it on track. At night, she had to save the world from collapse, so it wouldn't be destroyed before the protagonist had a chance to grow strong.

Gan Ye was so focused on her performance rating that she failed to notice the way everyone's gaze toward her was gradually changing.

[You, silent and powerful, could have had a glorious future. Instead, you chose to bear the despair of an entire world for people who knew nothing.

Your silence concealed all your glory, but the dawn will bear witness to you.]

Outside the comic, countless readers wept in the comments, moved to tears by this character who silently bore everything and lost it all.

Gan Ye herself: Huh?

She was just following the plot! Stop making up stories that never happened!

Also, could the world's consciousness please give her a five-star review?

It really matters to her!
