Do Comic Book Nobodies Not Deserve Names?!

[Slowly polishing the novel. Bonus chapters make up 80% of the content. Please leave a five-star review!] Yu Ci lived the same life as every NPC in every world: going through the motions of elementary school, middle school, and high school, then taking the college entrance exams. Oh, wait. College was assigned automatically. The day his acceptance letter arrived, a potted plant dropped out of nowhere. Thud! Bull's-eye! Soil showered down. The gloomy-looking young man wiped his face and said flatly: “Shit.” - Before starting school, Yu Ci accidentally learned that this world was actually a comic. And he was nothing but an anonymous background extra, a disposable bit player with no face. His assigned roles included, but were not limited to: Mocking the main cast, egging people on, kicking them when they were down, showering them with praise, becoming one of their many admirers, and literally risking life and limb for them... That's right, he did all the good and bad stuff. In short, he ran all over the set but didn't even get a name. Yu Ci was furious. Did being a background extra mean he didn't deserve basic rights? Sure, he was pretty ordinary, but he'd ranked first in his year for ages. And now he'd become a brainless cannon-fodder character just because he was going to an esper academy!? How dare they! Most importantly, the comic had a terrible ending. The author went completely off the rails and gave it a finale where everyone died together. When Yu Ci read that: ... Fine. :) - On the first day of school, Jiang Yubai noticed the boy sitting in the very back corner of the classroom. His black hair fell over his eyes, and he had a gloomy air about him. His face was impossible to make out, but he exuded such an oppressive presence that nobody sat near him. The moment Jiang Yubai stepped into the classroom, the boy seemed to sense him and looked up. Across the crowded room, their eyes met: deep black eyes, seeping with bloodlust and malice. As still as an ancient well, yet enough to make his hair stand on end. The boy silently curled his lips into a sinister smile and mouthed a few words. Jiang Yubai recognized them by reading his lips: “It's finally time we met, World-Ender.” - The comic Record of Espers was flooded with furious readers after its terrible ending. With the forums full of furious fans, the author, Shuya, announced: “The remastered edition of Record of Espers will begin serialization in three months. No promises about the ending. After this, the comic will never be revised again.” The comic's plot proceeded as usual. Just as readers thought the tragedy was about to repeat itself, the story changed. A character who had never appeared before showed up, draped in the heavy aura of a villain. At first, everyone thought Yu Ci was the new villain boss. Only at the end did they realize he'd been the savior bearing the world's burdens through the eternal night. But the one who shields others from the fire is destined to freeze to death in the snow. Amid the forum's wails of despair, Yu Ci fell just before dawn. But at that moment, Yu Ci was digging himself out of the earth. Holding his diploma and his savior's severance pay, the young man happily prepared to retire early. “Woohoo!” Yu Ci: Villain aura maxed out, terminally obsessed with being number one #The protagonist won't make an effort, so I have to do it myself!# #Move aside, let them see who's really strong!# #Damn it, never underestimate the power of a background character!# #Who put this villain filter on me... Hey, hey, stop crying and look carefully. I'm a villain!# [Reader's guide] 1. No major character deaths, happy ending. 2. Written for my own amusement. Please don't offer writing advice, thank you! 3. The author has a very fragile heart, so there's no need to tell me if you drop the novel. Hope everyone finds something they enjoy! 4. Written with my face on the keyboard. Mountains of personal worldbuilding, no logic or common sense. Please go easy on me. ( ) 5.

[Blurb saved on January 17, 2025, with a screenshot] Another completed novel of the same type in my collection: How to Become a Popular Comic Character Coming soon: my next no-romance novel, BE Script Guide Xie Chichun is a ginkgo tree that has lived for thousands of years, transformed into a human. By chance, he binds himself to a BE cannon-fodder System and is sent to play the humans whose lives have been toyed with by fate gone awry. Xie “Old Antique” Chichun: “Huh? Sure.” Having gained a spirit as a plant, he can observe people's hearts but doesn't understand human nature. He follows the original host's wishes, but... This doesn't seem to be what he imagined? Looking at the faces full of grief and regret before him, Xie Chichun smiles helplessly. “Don't cry.” – [The naturally pain-insensitive general suffers every bitterness and grievance] Accused of leaking military secrets and fleeing the battlefield, the man is demoted and sent to Jiangnan, far from the northern deserts. Following the general's temperament, Xie Chichun listens to opera, lounges on his bed with a jug of wine in the hand that can no longer lift a spear, and gazes toward the frozen north. No one knows that the pain, arriving too late, seeps day and night into the young man's shattered limbs. The emperor's suspicion, his closest friend's betrayal, and the people's curses. But in the end, it is this man who mounts his horse with sword in hand and turns the tide. After the battle, people raise their cups around the bonfire and celebrate their hard-won victory. They take it for granted that their commander feels no pain. His pale expression suggests only minor wounds, so they wait for the man in the tent to come out. The young general dies on the road, before the imperial edict and rewards can reach him, carrying with him the emperor's and his friend's self-righteous forgiveness. “He spent the first half of his life carefree and untroubled by sorrow, hatred, or pain. Then he endured pain, chains, and confinement, never knowing a single day of peace or happiness before he died.” Someone raises his sword, eyes red. [The carefree, brightly dressed young man has his pride broken and learns to play along] “Don't be sad.” The once-vibrant, bright-eyed young man cannot hide the exhaustion in his eyes as he clumsily comforts his friend. [The refined, untainted leader is cursed by the masses, worn down and gaunt] The young man shatters the chains binding everyone. The genetic restrictions are broken, and from then on, the wind and moon endure. The man falls alone before the cameras. “All lives are born equal.” [The coward who fears death most falls before everyone else] “Dandelions are plants that scatter wherever the wind takes them, yet spread hope as they go.” “Next spring, this place will be green as far as the eye can see.” – When the truth is revealed, people fall like leaves. Those wounds remain forever out of reach. They are the springtime they regret losing, too late to reclaim. System: ...What have you done? Xie Chichun: Hmm, learned how to be human? Theme: We shape our own destinies.
