Can the Elderly Type Become a Popular Character Too?

Qiū Lín transmigrates into the wildly popular superpowered fantasy manga《Uncharted》. He’s one of the comic’s most infamous haters. His combat power in online arguments is terrifying—his critique essays are packed with references and citations, and when debating fans, he can recite obscure plot details from memory. Good news: He can probably predict future events and avoid every dangerous storyline before it happens. Bad news: He accidentally transmigrates into a nameless, extremely unpopular cannon-fodder extra who appears for less than half an episode before dying. …An old man. Bad news ×2: This is a high-risk superpowered world. Fireballs are thrown by hand, street-destroying brawls are a daily occurrence, and whether mu*der or arson is illegal often seems open to interpretation. Meanwhile, his own combat power is roughly 0.5 geese, and even a light jog leaves him gasping for breath and worried he’ll throw out his back. Old Man · Frail · Qiū Lín blacks out. Fortunately, one month after transmigrating, his golden finger finally arrives: A forum connected directly to the audience. As long as he successfully appears in No Crossing, earns discussion and popularity from readers, and avoids placing in the bottom three of the forum’s popularity polls, he’ll be able to extend his lifespan. Qiū Lín looks down at his body and attempts a salted-fish flip… He fails. He almost throws out his back again. So he lies flat once more. —He’s already at retirement age. Hot-blooded adventures and flashy heroics are for the young. Following the original script and quietly enjoying his retirement doesn’t sound too bad! …Just kidding. If he can struggle, he’ll struggle. While leisurely slacking off, Qiū Lín pokes a fallen enemy with a knife, drags the protagonist back from danger for reasons he doesn’t fully understand, and suddenly realizes: …Maybe this situation isn’t beyond saving after all? Who says old men can’t fight? Old men can be cool too! As for somehow turning from an “old man” into a handsome young guy through literal rejuvenation… Qiū Lín lets out an innocent whistle. “Come on. Wasn’t everyone a handsome young man once?”
