I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

Today, at a crucial juncture in the comic, he snatched the female lead role, which garnered attention from the comic's readers and boosted its popularity.

As popularity increases, they will detach from being NPCs and begin to become passersby, cannon fodder, and slowly level up, but...

"This comic has so few readers! Its popularity is terrible?"

Could it be that I've been transported into a manga about eunuchs?

If a comic book is abandoned for too long...

Wouldn't I never be able to accumulate enough popularity in my entire life?

"Whatever, who cares?"

"Let's give it a try first!"

...

So, for the next few days...

He Zhou appeared by Jiang Dai's side very frequently.

They've stuck to the romance anime genre.

I deliberately ran slowly during physical education class today to strike up a conversation with her, and I'll bring her breakfast tomorrow.

The result was that Jiang Dai didn't say a word, and even stared at him warily like a kitten, running away as soon as she saw him.

Before He Zhou could even utter a single word, he received a slap on the back of his head and a flustered, angry reaction from his deskmate.

It ran off incredibly fast, like a Chinese pastoral cat.

When He Zhou's eyes swept over it, she was surprised to find a deep and long scratch mark on the wall at the end of the corridor she had run through.

It felt like being slashed by some giant claw.

A sense of crisis quickly spread through my heart.

I don't know if I'll really die in this world.

I used to complain that I wanted to die from work, but that was just me making things up! Who wants to die when they can live?

...

Nowadays.

A smile spread across He Zhou's face.

"Jiang Dai, classmate."

"!"

Jiang Dai stared at him warily, her hands gripping the edge of the table tightly.

She looked as if she wanted to crawl into the table; she was visibly tense.

Before He Zhou could speak, his deskmate instinctively reached out and grabbed his arm.

The hand was slender and soft, but the force was strong, yet it felt like being touched by a kitten's paw pad.

He Zhou paused for a moment, then looked up.

Jiang Dai stared at him in horror, and subconsciously breathed on him.

His breath was so strong it made him grimace.

Her fair complexion, black pupils, and bright, sparkling eyes, along with her slightly chubby cheeks, gave her a fierce yet adorable look.

The face that was finally revealed was breathtakingly beautiful, and the Nine-Lives Cat Demon seemed to finally have a face.

He Zhou was immediately charmed by the innocent and naive look of the girl, who was gripping the desk with her hands like claws and instinctively hunching over in a tense and defensive posture.

Depend on.

The way you drew the female lead is trampling on my fantasies.

...

suddenly.

A large number of negative reviews, just like those in the book review section, appeared above Jiang Dai's head.

Doesn't this NPC know that the female protagonist is a black and white cat? And she's a stray cat who's never had any friends; cats usually experience stress when they're in a new environment.

[This female comic artist is that old eunuch! Judging from her previous styles, this is already considered long; she should probably just abandon the project.]

"..."

Not only did its popularity not increase, but it also lost that single 0.0001.

He Zhou remained expressionless.

Can not be done.

Changing the plot won't work.

We can't really go into battle, can we? People will die!

What terrified He Zhou the most was the comment containing the words "old eunuch".

A female comic book artist and an old eunuch.

That buff is fully stacked!

Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger!

Chapter 2 is finished! I've transmigrated into an old eunuch's comic!

Over the next few days, He Zhou kept trying to find the boundaries of the city and also kept reading the comments on the comic book.

What is certain is...

Their world isn't their original one either.

It's a world where comics are all the rage, and readers are talking about comics they don't even know.

The island is very large, and most of the northern part of the city is inaccessible due to road construction.

Because students are not allowed to go out at night on the island, school ends very early.

He skipped class for a day, and when he got to the vicinity of the beach, He Zhou finally saw the boundary of the island.

From a distance.

A layer of gray fog shrouded the edge where the sea and sky met, mysterious and dangerous.

Just looking at that layer of gray fog is enough to make one's heart tremble.

The bad thing is...

After observing for several days, He Zhou vaguely sensed that the layer of gray mist seemed to have moved.

...

He Zhou had been somewhat anxious ever since he observed the area around the island shrouded in gray fog.

The more I observed, the more alarmed I became.

And every night.

The entire Kirishima Island fell into complete silence, much like a strange tale of rules.

When I couldn't sleep at night, I could vaguely hear a chilling whistling sound coming from behind the window through the curtains and window.

I couldn't tell if it was the sound of the wind or the panting of a wild animal.

It was terrifying.

I didn't want to go to class.

What kind of classes and exams are held in such a gloomy place?

Isn't that a sign of illness?

Two days after skipping class, the teacher came to see me and said meaningfully, "In Kirishima, maintaining a stable pace of life is maintaining your social identity as a human being."

"Humans are social animals."

"Being alone at home and facing the unknown fears is not necessarily safer than being at school."

...

He Zhou was persuaded.

This can't go on.

During class today, I couldn't help but drift off and think about solutions.

While thinking, I unconsciously drew a cow-cat on the page of the book.

It's easy to change the plot in a comic book world, but you need readers to read it.

Even a romance anime wouldn't work. I've been observing for a few days now, and the female lead, like a little cat, looks like she's about to retaliate whenever someone gets close, as if she's about to give them a good beating. Nobody dares to approach her.

This author labeled it as an action-packed anime, but I doubt people will accept the romance elements.

Acting in action-packed anime is even worse.

There's a protagonist's immortality law!

As an NPC, how many lives do I have? Do I dare to challenge the protagonist's immortality?

So what can be done about the popularity of this comic? How can he increase the popularity of this comic?

...

The gray fog is probably related to the popularity of the comic.

When no one watches anymore, the whole world will probably disappear.

What about yourself?

Will it also disappear?

"Hey…"

"Difficult to handle."

He Zhou sighed and looked down.

The black and white cat drawn on the paper is a very simple line drawing.

To complement the simple cow-and-cat drawing, he also casually drew a black cat police chief next to it.

...

Swish swish swish...

As I was engrossed in drawing, a gaze suddenly shot over.

He Zhou stopped writing and turned his head curiously, just in time to see his deskmate Jiang Dai staring at the simple drawing of a cow cat and a black cat she had drawn.

Realizing belatedly that she had stopped writing, she blinked and her moist lips moved slightly: "Continue."

He Zhou: "!"

Does this cat like watching cartoons?

He suddenly remembered his pet calf cat, who loved to sit beside him while he worked and watched cartoons together; she was very clingy.

"You like it?"

...

Jiang Dai remained silent.

But their pupils seemed noticeably dilated, staring intently with dark pupils.

He Zhou was just sketching casually, but seeing Jiang Dai's curious look, he immediately continued to refine the character image in his hand.

soon.

A cat wearing a hat and a police uniform leaps off the page.

"This is Chief Black Cat."
