1. 1 年 Can the Elderly Type Become a Popular Character Too? 年老系也能成为人气角色吗 Fang Hengjue方横绝No CP1.0M WordsOngoing Qiu Lin transmigrates into the wildly popular supernatural action manga Bu Du. He's a notorious hater of the manga, a formidable debater who cites sources when writing takedown posts and can recite every detail by heart when arguing with people. Good news: He can probably "see the future" and avoid all the dangerous plotlines before they happen. Bad news: He accidentally transmigrates as an incredibly annoying character 34kFavorites33.2kClicks/ch76.8kGifts

   The writing style could be improved, but the concept is quite novel. I'll have to give it a try just for the old man skin at the beginning. The current 50 chapters or so are going well. If you read them all at once, the pacing is okay and you won't feel like there's too much forum content. However, if you follow the serialization, the word count limit for updates can make it feel choppy and frustrating, but it's not a big deal. The main character, Narcissus, is absolutely delicious—I love you so much! And the pure and hateful CP with the original author is a must-try (gestures).

   The guide plays the role of the author's new novel, which is delicious but might not be as popular as a typical shonen, action-packed, cute slice-of-life story. Personally, I feel that the dark and brutal storyline genre is already overcrowded. Instead of being overwhelmed by clever ideas, why not go back to being a cute person and appreciate the chaotic mix of bonds between the five characters? This classic recitation is the most satisfying!

System: Sweetie, here's the exciting life you've been asking for. Yi Bai: ...Thanks. This is a little too exciting. He hasn't even done anything and already owes the System ten million popularity points.

   A rather rare, reliable adult protagonist who usually slacks off and doesn't actively cause trouble, exuding the air of a seasoned office worker steeped in the atmosphere of a typical office class, but who is reassuring. The main characters are numerous and have quite distinct personalities. The pacing is a bit slow right now with few climaxes. I'll wait and see how things unfold, and then give a full review after it's finished.

   This is a lighthearted and relaxing read. I personally don't enjoy the factional infighting and backstabbing parts; I get annoyed by rotten oranges (a euphemism for infighting). However, it's finally reached the point of "flipping the table," which is great news. I'll give a more detailed review after it's finished.

   The behind-the-scenes mastermind storyline. Some people might mind the BL content on the alternate forums, but I really enjoy it. I just haven't had enough of the forum content. Immersing myself in the female lead's perspective brings me a lot of joy (the reason is that BKing has captured my heart). Those who like to pick up random things are in luck (please welcome the legendary, beautiful, strong, and tragic Heige).

   I usually find it hard to accept original protagonists falling in love with characters from the original work, but I really love this one! (Sounds loudly) In terms of plot, Director Tang's writing skills are top-notch, and the characters on both sides are also intelligent. The choice between the three in Scotland is just the prelude to a huge plot. In short, both those who like to use their brains to find foreshadowing (myself) and those who just want to look cool (my best friend who was recommended this) who have tried it say it's great. The romance is seamlessly integrated into the plot, especially the wonderful Anata (whispering). It's a pure, age-gap romance of national banquet quality, and the amnesia trope is so charming that I've read it repeatedly. Reading it with the extra chapters elevates the experience even further! You can tell that Gin and Director Tang weren't forced into a relationship (some authors are ordering you to sell BL now), they're genuinely in love and a perfect match!!! I'm begging for a side story or Director Tang 2.0, I really need this kind of food.

   This is one of my absolute favorite books. The protagonist is a very fresh and reliable adult, with some beliefs that transcend life itself. The overall vision is there, and it avoids the overly sentimental and morally manipulative tactics often found in similar works. It's very popular and reassuring. Thumbs up! The portrayal of the protagonist, Li Yuan, is a particular plus. He has his past, and it is this past that has shaped him into who he is today. He is not a simple but empty collection of trendy characters, but a warrior with flesh and blood. The handling of some of the original episodes by Ke Tong is also very innovative, such as chasing Hiro, fooling Zero, threatening Xiao Ke, etc. The scenes between the reliable adult Li Ge and the intelligent Xiao Ke are super interesting. Of course, smart people will carefully dig into the identity when they see the disguise, right? And this delicious meal is free!!! Come and try it!!!

   It has a touch of Bungou Stray Dogs but connects well with the world of Detective Conan. Natsuki bullying everyone is hilarious; the Fourth Calamity can be this capricious. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it up to the movie version. The part from the time of the death ruse to the final battle was a bit boring (maybe I'm not a fan of Prince of Tennis). Overall, it was quite exciting, and I especially liked the non-alcoholic coffee part.

Their actions would be drawn into a manga, and anyone whose popularity fell too low would be killed off. The System gave Lin Yuesheng two pieces of news.

   The protagonist is a rare pure red character, and the early plot is worth praising. When I was really into it, I cooked a lot of meals. However, the update frequency is a major drawback. Enter at your own risk as it is not yet finished.

    I spent half a day mindlessly rushing through it, and it was enjoyable from beginning to end. There weren't any particularly novel developments, but it was good because it didn't involve any inexplicable twists and turns. The male protagonist of the comic book and the little girl he picked up trusted each other completely, which made it very easy to watch. The ending was peaceful and settled, making it suitable for people with high blood pressure to clear their minds.

    The RPG has a horror element, and the first few dungeons might be a bit unsettling for some viewers. Watching the protagonist, Shiratori, navigate through the dungeons gave me a strange sense of déjà vu, like watching a video game. The later revelation of foreshadowing was really good (and easy to pick up). I'll give a more detailed review after it's finished. Post-completion update: The world-building is pretty good, it all comes together nicely. I won't spoil anything, but I feel like a sequel with the same world-building would be very interesting. I'll definitely read it since I wrote it. The final battle was a bit conceptual, but it's not a big deal. It's a delicious happy ending! Fans of CB and those who enjoy random pick-up games are in for a treat!

    Curator note

    This is a fantasy novel with supernatural abilities, satisfying the needs of fans who enjoy stories about older men with younger partners. It seems to be in the foreshadowing stage at the moment, so I'm still observing. Part Two: Not fully subscribed; I skimmed through it after it was finished, so there may be some bias. The advantages are that all the foreshadowing has been resolved, the old villain has been brought to justice (especially good), and the plot has been wrapped up. The only slight drawback is that most chapters are rather bland. The first hundred or so chapters are quite close to everyday life and the reading experience is not bad, but after a bunch of behind-the-scenes manipulators are revealed, maintaining this tone feels a bit too relaxed. However, the information density is consistently present, so it's not padded, but it doesn't create much tension while reading. I feel the author could improve their chapter segmentation technique. The last point is purely my personal opinion: why are there so many obscure characters in the character names of your book? They include characters from the main characters' names in both narrow and broad senses, even those of the older generation. Even those without obscure characters are hard to remember. Although they are indeed very handsome, foreign names are easier to remember than these (bows down).

    A dedicated actor + a knowledgeable adjutant + a cool and adorable female protagonist + a bodhisattva-themed comic artist = I absolutely love this fading corpse spot! The depiction of the comic's cover page is Louvre-level, and the amount of detail and metaphors is exactly what every female fan of doujinshi dreams of. At least, that's how it is when I'm mentally cooking. God owes me a pink star to fill my stock with official doujinshi (I'm sure of it). The forum atmosphere is very friendly and not chaotic at all. Everyone just picks out styles and levels, or a variety of creative ideas, or a whole lot of wild and inappropriate comments. In short, the author has three female fans of BL (yeah).
