In revenge stories, there is always a group of dutiful cannon fodder whose sole purpose is to torment the protagonists physically and emotionally, humiliate and oppress them, and push the plot toward its climax. In the end, the protagonists slap them in the face and send them offstage, leaving their good deeds unacknowledged.
Awful stories are doomed to flop!
The Hosts, dragged in by the System to play cannon fodder, tutted and gave the brainless plots the finger.
-
System 444 had no idea what was wrong with the protagonists.
The Hosts clearly followed the plot, yet the endings always veered miles off course.
The Host who diligently stuck to his character settings got facial cramps every night because he had to wear a sinister smile that was three parts aloof and four parts distant all day.
The Host often had an aching back because the ridiculous script said he had to lug 100,000 in cash around in the pockets of his custom-tailored suit.
The Host’s throat kept getting inflamed because he had to scream with bloodshot eyes: “You’ve successfully caught my attention!” “Call me hubby and I’ll give you my life!” “How dare you refuse me…”
The Hosts were so devoted to their roles, while the protagonists
At their first meeting, the protagonist fixed him with a fierce glare and held up a shard of broken porcelain. “Take one more step and see what happens.”
A month later, the protagonist was still ice-cold, keeping his distance from the Host at all times.
Later, the protagonist burrowed into the Host’s arms, the corners of his eyes red. His muffled, tearful voice came wrapped in a cloying sweetness. “You idiot. Can’t you tell I like you?”
[Rich Family Substitute, Followed by the Crematorium]
In a story where the male lead is replaced, you are an extremely selfish, overbearing CEO. Because the protagonist looks like the person you’ve loved from afar for years, you threaten and tempt him, then force him into marriage.
In the end, the protagonist personally drives you into bankruptcy, and you can only watch as he and the person you’ve loved from afar live happily ever after.
But now, the protagonist corners you, jealousy in his voice, and demands:
“Why haven’t you kissed me lately?”
“…Are you worried he’ll get the wrong idea?”
[Interstellar Harem ABO]
In an adults-only love-triangle story, you’re one of the devoted pursuers of F1 at an aristocratic academy. You hate the protagonist. He’s nothing but a lowly commoner from a colony planet, so why does he get to steal everyone’s love so easily? Full of malice, you slander him, vilify him, and defile him.
So why is the protagonist ignoring the other male leads, A, B, C, and D, and using his pheromones to seduce you instead?
[The All-Conquering Cultivation Saga]
In a power fantasy, you’re the protagonist’s fellow disciple. You’re jealous of his natural talent, so you do your best to suppress him. To destroy him, you set a trap in a secret realm and poison him, planning to use him as a cultivation furnace and drain his power.
…You did increase your cultivation, because the genius protagonist clung to you every night to cultivate together.
