African American Detective Protagonists

I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending. Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden. Someone every reader hated! “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending! “I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.” ...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way! And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!] There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!] [He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them. “I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…” Chapters are long, 1500 ~ 2000+ words.

America, 1980. No sooner had Xu Yi transmigrated than he was put on the dissection table; then he gradually came to understand the true nature of this world. "Studying medicine can't exorcise undead demons; I must become an exorcist!" he resolved silently to himself. On a misty, rain-soaked night. "Miss Evil Spirit over there, the night is cold and damp; be careful not to catch a chill! Come over here and warm yourself by the fire!" Xu Yi said, holding a lighter, as the pale gold flame slowly approached the other. The Evil Spirit shrank back, looking at Xu Yi with fear. "Don't be afraid, I just want to warm you up..." Xu Yi's face broke into a warm smile, "by setting you on fire!" Ding dong! Ding dong! "Sign-in at the Land of Fear successful, Resurrection Coin awarded!" "Synthesis pathway requirements met, do you wish to combine the following entries?" Psychic + Scholar + Painter = Psychic Painter! Saintly Offspring + Gunfight Technique + Revolver Mastery = Holy Gunslinger! Undead + Revelation + Holy Nation = God!

Liu Xun has lived a tough life for the past 25 years but he never complained about his hardships. However. When he was suddenly brought into a cultivation romance novel after he had just received his hard-earned promotion he finally lost it. "F*ck! Laozi was such a model citizen, Why are you doing this to Laozi?!" To make matters worse, both protagonists were cold-blooded murderers, especially the male lead, Wan Yu who was a bit of a psycho. He seemed to be at odds with everyone and enjoyed torturing people, especially the big villain, Wu Jing who was particularly miserable at the end. And he just happened to be that Wu Jing. Liu Xun: vomit blood jpg. Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining and this new life of his is not beyond saving yet. Filled with determination, Liu Xun swore not to cross paths with the protagonists and lay low as an Outer disciple. Unfortunately, Heaven seemed to have another plan for him. Liu Xun put on an unfriendly face and turned to glare at a certain little boy, "Why are you following me?" The little boy timidly spoke, "... Can't I stay with you?" Liu Xun immediately replied, "No." Even though he decided not to be involved with him, as a normal grownup adult he still couldn't turn a blind eye toward the child abuse in the end. As a result, he ended up helping the little male protagonist a few more times. After some time passed, looking at the fair-faced harmless little boy, Liu Xun tiredly sighed like an old father. Never mind, I will raise him during my stay as the Heavenly Sect's Outer disciple and we will go on our ways in the future. Unbeknownst to him, in a place where he couldn't see, the little boy's eyes turned cold while silently observing him. Wan Yu who came back to the past a while ago dangerously narrowed his eyes. Who is this person? ... Should I just kill him? After some time passed, looking at this not-so-bright and foolish person, Wan Yu pinched the space between his eyebrows and gave an almost inaudible sigh. Nevermind. As long as this guy doesn't betray him he is willing to take him under his wings. A comedy-romance story with a model citizen (?) transmigrator shou x a black lotus reborn gong, no dog-blood drama. The cover doesn't belong to me. Everything is fictional and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Transmigrating with a system into a sadistic romance novel is a bit overwhelming for Paige at the age of 34 and being a Hikikomori. "You are the protagonist of this world." She stated while the system directly shocked her left and right for disclosing the storyline to the male lead on her first day. A system trying to satisfy the creator, a shut-in that can't take care of herself, and a teenage male lead catching himself infatuated with the wrong person. The more time passed, the more everything went out of control, as apparently nothing had been as it seemed. A dark version of the typical system trope.
