The Comic Sequel, But the Protagonist of the Prequel Is Insane
One day, Li Ming, who was enjoying his relaxed university life, suddenly saw an "Exchange Forum" from outside the world. The users on the forum referred to Li Ming's world as a comic, his roommate as the protagonist, and Li Ming as cannon fodder.
Li Ming: ...Huh?
He didn't want to believe it, but after witnessing reality unfold exactly as described on the forum, he had no choice but to believe. So, after staying up all night summarizing the general plot from the forum, Li Ming concluded several points:
This is now the comic sequel.
The protagonist of the prequel is his roommate, Jiang Huai.
The prequel's protagonist went insane after a series of events and successfully destroyed the world in the end.
The world has reset.
All readers on the forum unanimously agree: If the prequel's plot repeats, the old bastard's protagonist will definitely destroy the world again.
Li Ming: ...
[But the old bastard hasn't announced the sequel's protagonist yet, and he only said he wanted to refine the protagonist's character through a bystander's perspective in the early stages.]
[Yeah, exactly. Refining through a bystander's perspective = rewriting the university student massacre through a bystander's perspective.]
[So the old bastard started a sequel just for us to watch the school get wiped out again?]
[Are we really going to watch the protagonist destroy the world again QvQ? This comic has become so messed up I can't understand it.]
[Damn protagonist meets damn world (Amen)]
Li Ming (screaming): ...No, the university students won't be wiped out, and the world definitely won't be destroyed!
Because—
From today on, I am that damn sequel's protagonist!
"Mist City" is currently the most popular urban hot-blooded shonen manga. In its early serialization, it received widespread praise from readers for its exciting battles and exquisite art style. But what truly made it famous and an undisputed contemporary hit was—
Its anti-climax ending.
The protagonist of a hot-blooded shonen manga ended up destroying the world, and he actually succeeded. Almost all comic readers expressed strong dissatisfaction with the ending.
So, when readers' dissatisfaction was about to reach its peak, the publisher urgently released the news: ["Mist City" timeline has reset, and the comic sequel will be released in early June.]
On the release day of the sequel, countless readers flocked to it. And what they eventually saw was—
A sequel protagonist who died at the very beginning of the prequel.
