(My new story, Escape to Survive [Esports], is now open for submissions. The synopsis is below. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites!)
(Upcoming story: My Archrival Is My Wife, a story about two powerful rivals who love and fight each other.)
Wen Luyu is an otaku who lives by the motto, “Merch first, food second.” Luckily, his family is well-off and gives him plenty of spending money every month, so he can eat his fill while collecting countless merch items.
He never expected to transmigrate one day into the body of a university student with the same name in a distant star system, someone who genuinely couldn't afford food.
On this unfamiliar planet, Wen Luyu discovers that although the people have plenty of entertainment, they don't produce merchandise. So, to support himself, he decides to open up a new entertainment market for them.
Of course, it's also to satisfy his own cravings. The novels and anime here are so good, it would be such a waste not to have figures to admire every day!
Livestream a merch shop and show people in the distant star system the power of Earth's otaku culture!
Popular novels with huge fanbases, hit anime, top-tier games: he'll partner with them all! Figures, standees, badges, art cards, holographic tickets, blind boxes: he'll make them all! Snack shops, bubble tea shops, electronics stores: he'll collaborate with them all!
Fans recover from their initial confusion of “What even is this??” and discover the joy of all the different merchandise, then enthusiastically place their orders, shouting “One more!” in the livestream.
At the same time, an author with a modest following, a narcissistic celebrity, a controversial illustrator, and an entertainment company CEO... all turn their attention to Wen Luyu, the young man behind the merch shop.
The sunny boy with the little tiger teeth who show whenever he smiles beams at the wall full of merchandise.
He seems... kind of cute.
Sunny and lively, seems like a silly rich kid but is actually perceptive and clever bottom (Wen Luyu) x appears cold and mature but is actually gentle and jealous CEO top (Yu Zhiyin)
Escape to Survive [Esports]
Escape to Survive is a 1v4 asymmetrical competitive “cat-and-mouse game.” During the summer break in the home region's ESL, a major event takes place:
The star player of last season's championship team, the number-one “Butcher” pro, Xiao Feichen, announces his transfer and says he's starting his own team.
As everyone spreads the news like wildfire, they speculate about which players this top-tier expert will choose as teammates.
Who could have guessed that after winning the Butcher MVP at the world championship, he would switch roles and say, “I've won enough Butcher championships. I'll try playing a Human.”
Everyone: ???
Even more astonishing, Xiao Feichen's new team turns down applications from a host of excellent players and picks an unknown nobody along with several controversial players.
The online mood shifts instantly: If this team can win a championship, everyone else might as well retire on the spot!
Xiao Feichen: Who says I'm arrogant? The guy who named his team The Eternal God has no right to say that about me!
Xiao Feichen: My team is a one-man show? What about the famous esports equivalent of Hengshui High School in our game? Come out and show everyone!
Xiao Feichen: I'm washed up after switching roles? Why don't you open your eyes and see how many streets ahead of you your old man's understanding of the game is. I'd still be one of the top commentators if I switched to casting, OK?
Everyone agrees: He's the number-one Butcher King in the game, after all. No wonder he talks with such confidence.
When asked about the youngest kiter on the team,
The man, usually so irreverent, finally lets the careless look fade from his eyes. His gaze turns gentle.
“He was my first choice.”
When Team MI disbanded, its mechanic, Ning Weiyu, wasn't even eighteen yet.
His parents talked with him about going back to school, getting into a good university, and living an ordinary, peaceful life. The quiet young boy looked up with bright, sparkling eyes and said yes.
His teacher walked him to the gate, and they agreed he'd start classes the next day.
A man who had been waiting at the entrance took off his sunglasses.
“No need. He's got to go to work.”
Ning Weiyu looked up. Xiao Feichen stood there leaning casually, giving him a roguish grin that made him look like bad news.
And so, the player who would one day make every Butcher in the ESL keep their distance appeared.
The former nobody became an all-rounder every team wanted.
Butcher King turned Human King, a laid-back, roguish top (Xiao Feichen) x a mechanic who played like a kiter, so he switched to kiting. Tough, few words, quiet and reserved bottom (Ning Weiyu)
Note: 1. The game is based on Identity V, with changes and explanations. The matches are described simply, so you can read without knowing the game.
2. The general gameplay is unchanged, but the maps and characters in the game have all been adapted. Details about the professional scene's finances, transfers, and match schedules are fictionalized. The later world championship focuses on the ensemble cast.
3. The top, bottom, supporting characters, and teams are all original! No real-life models at all!
Theme: Work hard to start a business and open up a new market
I can't stand it anymore, I always mispronounce Baji as jiba [laughter and cry][laughter and cry][laughter and cry]
Is this almost over?
I've seen the little volleyball ball that's 58 centimeters big. It's really about the same size as a manhole cover.

Come on (???ε???)
Okay? (???ε???)
Virtual idol?! You capitalists, point your fingers.
Songyue is Song Qing, right?
Song Qing and Lian Heng seem to have some content?
Save, this way of saying it feels like the painting style jumps from the second dimension to middle-aged and elderly people.
