The Restricted-Fiction Writer Becomes a God in a Horror World
1.
Shu Yunmo was an ordinary person. As a broke guy, his hobbies were just as low-budget: after work, he relaxed by writing some unusual stories.
One day, he was pulled into a massive, globally livestreamed qualification exam for appraising the paranormal, becoming the worst candidate in history.
Weak, useless in a fight, and only good-looking.
His teammates thought he was dead weight, the audience bet he wouldn't survive the beginner round, and Shu Yunmo himself thought so too. Until he realized the plots of the exam's instances seemed oddly familiar.
...Wait. Aren't these the stories he wrote?
But the problem was, every damn one of them was explicit!
2.
System announcement: [The ancient altar has long stood empty. Only a sincere offering can earn the god's forgiveness. If its patience runs out, everyone will suffer heavenly punishment.]
To escape the instance, his teammates offered fruit and vegetables, livestock, jewelry... but everything was returned untouched.
Just as everyone was at their wits' end, Shu Yunmo stood up and placed a small box on the altar.
That was... a condom!
As everyone stared in shock, the secret door behind the altar slowly opened. Holy crap, it worked! They cleared the level!
Huh? You want to know why?
The only one who could explain, the author himself, Shu Yunmo, sneered.
The ancient god had just forcefully taken a human man as his husband and was about to get down to business. This was the only thing he was missing. He was practically dying of impatience!
The Appraisers' Ladder was a global ranking of candidates by points. Everyone was desperate to meet the No. 1.
One day, someone got the chance to meet him. They asked just one question: What exactly did you do to stay at the top?
No. 1 was silent for a moment.
Then he answered, "...High-salt erotica."
3.
Shu Yunmo had another secret.
Of the dozens of stories saved on his computer, a few were actually written in memory of his ex-boyfriend, who had died young.
Now his ex-boyfriend had crawled out of an instance and was begging him to get back together.
Shu Yunmo: "I'm not getting back together with you."
His ex-boyfriend curled his lips coldly, bound him to a chair, and gripped his chin, forcing his head to turn toward... the laptop.
His ex-boyfriend deftly dug up those unspeakable stories and threatened, "If you refuse, I'll read all this stuff on your computer aloud, with all the emotion I can muster, right next to your ear, for three days and three nights."
Shu Yunmo: "...!?"
What a vicious move!!!
1. Both are virgins, one-on-one, happy ending.
2. A wish-fulfillment story with everyone falling for the protagonist. You can tell from the blurb how unhinged it is. The leads are also in excellent mental health.
3. Top: His wife wrote him as a disposable villain, but he fought his way to becoming the strongest ghost king. "He wrote me into his novel, so he must still love me."
Bottom: His golden finger is ridiculously powerful, and the instance bosses dote on him, so he breezes through every level. He's rather troubled that his ex-boyfriend keeps getting jealous and the bosses keep sticking up for him.
