This is a world where supernatural abilities have erupted everywhere. Before reaching adulthood, everyone has a fifty percent chance of awakening an ability.
Chu Wangzhou was one of the lucky ones. He awakened his ability early, and his combat talent was unmatched. But he was a transmigrator, and he knew that even a salted fish that turned over was still a salted fish. So on the day he came of age, he packed his bags and left for distant lands.
Good news: He was accepted into the largest ability academy in the Southern Territory.
Bad news: When classes were assigned at the start of term, his top-student obsession kicked in.

The Southern Territory's First Academy may have "First" in its name, but it has been a solid runner-up for ten thousand years. The problem is that every year it produces a few troublemakers, each more reckless than the last in individual combat, but completely silent when it comes to team battles.
This year's freshmen were even more astonishing.
Troublemaker No. 1, Chu Wangzhou: He started with a black spear and the ability "Blazing Flames Across the Plains," slaughtering the training grounds clean in the novice village and scorching the instructor's face black. He was immediately assigned to the troublemaker class.
Troublemaker No. 2, the cool, poker-faced guy: With "Analyze" in his left hand and "Reassemble" in his right, he aimed to become the new leader of the natural sciences. His behavior wasn't especially outrageous, but most teachers couldn't teach him. At the beginning of the second month, he moved into the troublemaker class.
Troublemaker No. 3, nicknamed "Sweet Little Incubus": Male. After making inappropriate remarks in public and trying to usurp the principal, his misdeeds came to light. Afraid he'd be murdered, he voluntarily applied to transfer into the troublemaker class during the second month.
Troublemaker No. 4, a rare bloodline: a cute, delicate, explosive-tempered little loli. Everyone else saw her as a support and healer, but she considered herself a tank and was especially fond of blood-soaked spinning windmills. After repeatedly throwing classmates into the air, she was kicked into the troublemaker class at the end of the second month.
Chu Wangzhou, after hearing about the other three troublemakers' antics, at first: "Hahahahaha!"
Then, after meeting them:
"The comments have come to life!!"
*
This is a comic.
The main characters are the three big troublemakers (geniuses). The original author is probably a big name in the comic industry, and the readers' comments are incredibly heartfelt.
At first, whenever Chu Wangzhou appeared, the comments surrounding the main cast would go wild:
[Ahhh, male lead, do you see that handsome guy behind you who nearly beat you up the moment he appeared? He's either your underling or the future villain. Either way, take him down!]
[Wifey! Wifey, say something! Don't go quiet just because you got slapped! Come on, use that super-incredibly-handsome face to charm him! If we win him over, we'll have someone to do our dirty work!]
[Our girl! Our girl, run! We can't beat him... Stop spinning like a windmill, waah!]
After Chu Wangzhou started carrying his black spear around and picking fights everywhere, the comments changed to:
[What the hell, is the level of these pursuers too high? Is the male lead going to die here... Woohoo, I see Big Bro! Quick, male lead, call him Big Bro. Staying alive matters more than saving face!]
[Black spear, kill, kill, kill! Blazing Flames Across the Plains, burn, burn, burn! In all the world, I alone reign supreme... Wifey, I haven't forgotten you. Let me join Big Bro's fan club first, then we'll talk.]
[Our girl is spinning her windmill again? Let her spin. Big Bro gave her permission... Holy crap, Big Bro and the Incubus Bro, why are you spinning too... Wait, male lead! Cool Guy, don't give up the struggle!!]
[By the way, Big Bro is so damn powerful and popular. According to the usual plot, he's either the white moonlight who dies early or the future boss who turns evil and becomes an enemy halfway through... Oh no.]
Chu Wangzhou, secretly following the comments the whole time, said: "What? I'm having a great time. I'm in perfect health, body and mind, and I can still pick three more fights."
Many years later, one day.
Chu Wangzhou: "Which comment was it again? Pah, pah, pah! What a jinx!"
The comments, by contrast:
[Big Bro, go easy on him, ahhhhh!]
1: The protagonist is an optimistic battle maniac with a top-student obsession, and a very reliable Big Bro (thumbs up).
2: The protagonist can only see the comments, not the comic itself or the forums.
3: I'll never escape my destiny of writing hot-blooded, chuunibyou stories.
Theme: May friendship last forever
