April 6, 20XX
8:12 AM
"I'm a mob character, which means I barely have screen time and no one notices me so I can speak out my thoughts."
Note: Kibe is longing for attention, so he does this so that somebody may notice him.
"First off, the easiest and simplest protagonist of all is... The Shounen Protagonist! He's got the power of friendship, plot armor, unmeasurable amounts of power, and as a bonus... He gets lots of girls. Perfect!"
I scratched my head at the problem at hand.
"But how do I become a shounen protagonist? So, parents dead? Do I kill 'em? Nope, no way, I'm not a heartless b*tch, but I am scum."
"Besides, I'll become a murdering protagonist which would make me a villain. No thanks, I'd rather be a hero than a villain."
"But a protagonist of that kind does get hurt a lot, right? I don't want that, but for the girls, I'll do it!"
Note: Scum...
Let me study Kase Yoshio, the shounen protagonist.
I latch my eyes on my target and follow him around the school.
Note: And so, the idiot continues to stalk the hero... to the cafeteria... to the bathroom... and to the classroom...
I stopped in my tracks.
What I can say is... I GOT NOTHING! I DIDN'T GET ANYTHING FROM STALKING THE SHOUNEN PROTAGONIST! WHAT THE HELL?!! Hey, wait a minute...
"Don't they start their shounen activities after school?"
Note: Face palm moment...
…
..
.
4:00 PM, After School
I continued to follow the protagonist after school. And as expected, he moved more suspiciously than usual, and as I kept following him...
At a park, a few blocks away from school, a young boy jumped out of the corner to prevent the young hero from walking further.
"And so you appear... Yoshio Kase," the boy stated.
"You? Who are you? And how do you know my name?"
They muttered utter nonsense and talked about trivial matters.
Can you two stop talking and just get to the fight already?
…
..
.
Note: A few minutes later...
"Four-headed Spear!" the boy chanted.
Four yellow see-through spears surrounded Kase from the ground.
"What? How?" Kase asked in a panic.
WHOAAAA! COOL! BEAT HIM, STRANGER BOY! BEAT THAT CLICHÉ PROTAGONIST!
The right spear attacked him and Kase managed to dodge it.
The spear hit the ground.
Two spears, one from upfront, and one from the left attacked him simultaneously. He somehow dodged the spear upfront but was hit by the left in his shoulder in the same direction.
"Ouch..."
What's with that acrobatic skill? He has inhumane reflexes for a high school student. Well this is shounen, they tend to make the protagonist a monster even before they get their otherworldly powers.
…
..
.
They kept on clashing with each other. To summarize the whole fight, it was usually Kase evading the attacks with barely any scratches as he yelled the most overused lines ever. He kept going on about ‘hope’ and his newly-acquired ‘friends’ who came out of nowhere.
This is getting boring... I'm gonna leave their fight. I stepped out from my spot and went to the other side to avoid getting caught up in their frolic.
I prepare to head back to my home.
So, the question is... did I get anything? Nope!
Hold on, how do I turn into a shounen protagonist in the first place?
"IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT FIRST? I TOTALLY WASTED MY TIME! AHHHHHHH! "
So based on my in-depth knowledge, one becomes a shounen protagonist by encountering a strange being or something along the lines or having a special ability in your lineage, in which in both chances are… 0%...
I look up to the sky. It’s afternoon.
“I should've known from the start... that it was impossible for me to become a shounen protagonist.”
…

April 7, 20XX
I was right back in my classroom, seated in my chair.
What now??? What am I supposed to do now? I suppose it's time for me to hunt down a brand new protagonist...
My eyes shot from student to student.
Which one is next? I wonder.
"AHH... This is very frustrating! Why can't I just become a protagonist? Not only that, I'm not even a side character..." I yelled as I scratched my head.
I scratched it further, and some of the hair strands fell as I did.
"THE WORLD IS MEAN!!! GOD IS MEAAANN!"
Wait, God? Wait a minute, if this was a manga world, then there must be an author! I’m sure of it!
What should I do? I feel so hopeless at this point that I wanna talk directly to the author of this manga! Wait, what if this is a W*****n? Manhua? Manhwa? Am I being deceived that this is a manga? The heck should I care? If I were to talk to the author, then I'll talk to him in the bathroom. That’s the place where I could get real personal.
…
..
.
Note: In the men’s bathroom...
I knocked on one of the bathroom stalls and clasped my two hands together as if praying to the infamous legend of a spirit trapped within the stalls.
"Author-kun, Author-kun... WHY THE HELL ARE YOU MEAN TO ME? JUST GIVE ME THE ROLE!" I ranted as I banged my fists on the locked stalls.
I sighed and let my thoughts process the events… rationally. I turned around to see the wide window in front of me.
"Huh? What's this written on the side of the window?"
The font is so little, it's barely legible... there are small letters spaced evenly apart.
"N… O… P... E…"
I read it aloud for another time.
"Nope."
"THERE IS AN AUTHOR!" I rejoiced.
"WAIT, THE HELL YOU MEAN NOPE?!! TURN ME INTO A PROTAGONIST!"
Ring. Ring.
The bell rang.
Oh, break's over. Time to go back to the classroom.
I left the bathroom and went into the hallway.
Darn it. Why now?
As I hurriedly ran to my classroom, I bumped into someone with books, and both of us got pushed back from each other.
Ouch... Wait, this is an encounter, no, not just any encounter... THIS IS AN ENCOUNTER A ROMANCE PROTAGONIST MAKES! THANK YOU AUTHOR-KUN!
Let me help the one who tripped...
I stood up and tried to see who I bumped into.
"Are you okay pretty lad-"
Note: However, he thought it was a lady, but it was a young lad.
"Uh, yes," the boy answered bashfully with blushes on his cheeks.
"Doki-doki! How handsome!" he said to himself, admiring Kibe’s ‘manly’ features.
And so again as I was about to confirm my fear, more people with books also bumped into me... and the fear instilled into me was worsened... I knew what Author-kun was planning from that moment... these are all guys and they are blushing…
I gulped.
…for me.
"H-Hello..." another boy greeted with a drool.
"L-Let me help you!" another offered.
"Such a face!" another praised.
I stood up… and made a run for it. I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"A BL PROTAGONIST!!! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAKS!!! AUTHOR IS A RETARD! DON'T KISS ME BASTARDS! WAHHHH! I DON'T WANNA BE A BL PROTAGONIST!!!"
Note: Author is not a retard. You got what you wished for, yet you run away from it, how cowardly.
…
..
.
I arrived at the classroom unscathed.
You think I'm gonna give up easily, author? I'm taking the easy way out! If you don't wanna give me that role, then I'm gonna make you!
"I should start preparing for an all-out war with the author of this story! I'll get you back at this! BRING IT ON!"
Note: Bring it on. A war with the author, how bold.

April 8, 20XX Note: Let the 4th wall breaks begin! If you won't give me the role... "I'll force you myself, author! I bet you even used a name generator in creating my name, give me some screentime, dammit!" In order to force the author into giving me an MC role, I have to blackmail him. Yes! By means of COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! And all I have to do is say the name of a certain company. "Dithney." Huh? "DITHHHNEY!" My tongue... it won't say the word. How dare you... "DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! DITHHHNEY! Walt Dithney!" That ain't gonna stop me! I looked around and searched my surroundings. I stumbled upon my bag and I found what might possibly be… my key to victory. PAPER! Yes, I have some in my bag! If I'm not gonna get MC, I'm taking down yer story with you! TAKE THAT! I took some paper sheets and place them on top of my desk. I drew a circle, then another circle tangent to the circle to the top left. Now for the top right! IT'S THE END OF YE
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 4 - Romantic-Comedies
April 12, 20XX 8:13 AM Second week, first day. Yeah, I hate the author, and I hate the viewers too. Anyway, bear with me. Shounen protagonist, nope. Rom-com protagonist is next. Rom-coms are probably one of the most common besides shounen made solely for people thirsting for love or diabetes. However, nowadays, they are so predictable, so predictable that I can indeed guess who is the endgame girl and I'll do that by using the rules I have learned throughout my journey. Let me analyze the rom-com protagonist, Tamaki Kazuhiko, and the girls who are head-over-heels for him. Rule 1: Tsunderes have a higher chance of winning than other love rivals. Rule 2: First girl almost always wins. Rule 3: Girls late in the running would most likely lose. Rule 4: Childhood friends almost never win. Rule 5: Girls with bigger cups would most likely lose against girls with smaller cups. These are 5 powerful rules, I'd list extra rules once needed. "So, Tamaki Kazuhiko, handsome, brown hair, b
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 5 - A Certain Magical Context
"SENPAI! ANY SENPAIS AVAILABLE?" The usual treatment, but this time no one actually comes to go close to me or even look at me. Senpais are much more brutal. Well, I mean I'm taking the role of the kouhai, who are usually assertive. Let's see how this goes. I grabbed the arm of a girl. I tried my best to be assertive. "Senpai, let's go home!" It may have ended up being cheesy and cringey instead, but I can manage. The girl was startled and let go of my grasp. "Um, who are you? And why are you touching me?" she asked. "But...I'm your kouhai, right? Gimme the nice treatment." My face shined brightly. "Eugh!" Her face turns into a hint of disgust, "NICE MY A*S, WHO ARE YOU?" she asked. "NICE CURSING! YOU'RE DEFINITELY MY TYPE! NOW COME HOME WITH ME!" People began to look around us, giving us suspicious glares. "Hey, choose your wording..." she told me. "Man, that would be a nice experience, especially since we're gonna be all alone..." "HEY! WORDING!" I'm cultured enoug

I arrived at the doorstep. I turned the knob and I welcome myself into my house. "I'm home!" Beep. Boop. I heard video game noises from upstairs. A voice of a girl and a boy came along with it. "I win again!" the girly voice cheered. "No fair! One more!" the voice of a boy replied. What are those sounds? I took a step into my house and the whole atmosphere changed immediately. This... aura! The aura of romance! DISGUSTING! PWEH! I spit on the trash bin to my left. This sweetly sensation... is… weakening me... SICKENING! "Blech!" The door leading up to my room for gaming was open. A bright line shines through the gap. I took a peek inside the room filled with noises. I saw two people playing on my gaming console. WHO IN THE WORLD HAS THE AUDACITY TO TOUCH MY WIFE, MY PLAYSTAT-... damn you author... I had to revise my statement, even in my thoughts, or the author would shut me up for referencing a copyrighted brand. MY PLAYCAMP 4! That's a bad substitute. But there’s n

Note: The Slice-of-Life Boys. "Hey Ishimoto, tell us a dark joke," Hara requested. "A refrigerator with food is the same as a cannibal opening an air-conditioned room full of people," Ishimoto answered. "Woah, man! Too dark! Another one, but not too dark," Yoshida requested. "If a cat in a box filled with radiation is Schrödinger's cat, can a human-dog hybrid eating chocolate be considered the same?" Ishimoto answered. "Too smart!" Arata praised. I analyzed their antics. I can be a Slice-of-Life, but that's the lowest of the low. I'll have that as my last resort since right now, I'm in desperate need. Now, what genres and themes do we have? I'll start with what comes up to mind. I started listing out the genres and themes. Adventure. Nope, no chance. Action, that's for shounen, mostly. Comedy, I have a knack for this one, I'll leave this on standby. Romance, pshhh. "I ain't a mob character for no reason, eh?" Sports, as if. Parody... "I'm already mocking certain stereotyp
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 8 - Character vs Creator (Part 2)
April 15, 20XX 8:11 AM "I WAS GONNA TRY SCI-FI, BUT YOU PUSHED ME TO THE LIMITS!" If I can't be the main character, no one will... AND NO SHOULD BE! "I'll make it work this time, by using a different and smarter method." With my status as a mob character, I'd be most likely ignored by the main characters surrounding me. This is why my plan to make the rom-com vulgar failed. So in order to successfully cancel this sh*tty story, instead of being directly involved, how about I be indirect? "That way I ruin their progress and create unnecessary filler events. I really am a genius! Now, who to mess with? I shouldn't mess with the Shounen Protagonist, he protects us from enemies, so it would be bad if I messed with him." "How about I mess the rom-com again?" I laughed and snickered at the unfortunate soul. I'll mess with them first. … .. . Ring. Ring. The school bell rang. Class was about to begin. Morine was hugging Tamaki. I stared at them and smiled with evil intent. I ros

April 19, 20XX 8:20 AM I'm giving this world three chances, after that... I sighed, "If only I could kill myself though…" However, I chose to ignore this notion and decide to plan. With my tip-top smarts, I could top at any time. And that's why I decided to join... A door opened. "Hello! I'm here to join the researchers of the future club!" I said enthusiastically. Three people stared at him, 2 boys and a girl. "Can you please quiet down, we're doing research here..." the first boy said to me. "Oh, Toshiaki-kun, you need to be more mindful of your kouhais," the second one replied to the first. He took a closer inspection of me. "Huh?" He stared at me. "Wait, aren't you in the same class as we are? What was your name again?" he asked. Ehehehe, they never noticed me, haven't they? "My name is Kibe Takayuki," I introduced myself. "I'm Yuu Kajiwara, I'm the leader here. You can call me Kajiwara-san. That guy over there is Toshiaki Sando-kun," he pointed to the other guy
A Mob Character Surrounded by Main Characters Wants to be MC EPISODE 10 - The Sacred Protagonist (Part 1)
I’m inside my room. WAHHHHHHHH! It's bad to get involved in time. I've never seen an anime or manga that did not involve psychological horror or thriller with time travel. One such example is St**ns;gate. I sighed. "I thought I finally had it, too bad. Now two more chances… Hang on, let me analyze this a bit more thoroughly." "Hmmmm... I GOT IT!" The main reason that I do not have the role of the main protagonist is that... "I do not meet the criteria... My personality doesn't meet the expectations of that of a main character, and because it didn't fit those even of a side character, I was set to a background character." "Aren't there people who have much worse conditions? Oh hold on, they are probably antagonists or villain protagonists. But I don't want either of those roles though. " I smirked and laughed. AND THAT'S WHY MY PLAN IS PERFECT! I can't believe I have to resort to this, but I have to… "I'll become the sacred protagonist, or in other words... a Hentai Protagoni

Guys, I really apologize for not updating for so long. My parents do not allow me to write, and it's a lot harder especially since I'm in high school, so I have to focus a bit more on my studies. However, that doesn't mean I'm abandoning this series or the other, it's just on hold. Please do expect an update somewhere around summer, perhaps June or July? Around those dates. Please continue to follow my series and follow my twitter if you can. You can simply search my author name and it pops up. Thank you for understanding! And that is all for now!

5:21 PMI was on a call with Arata."WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T GIVE HER THE POTION?!" I retaliated."Sorry, Kibe. I really am.""THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE HER THE FREAKING LOVE POTION?!""Kibe, don't you think trying to court her for a single rooftop is already foolish? More so with the love potion… even we have a line to draw.""DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY THINGS I HAD TO DO FOR THAT POTION?!"Aside from persuasion, I technically haven't done anything for that potion, but 'will'."I deeply apologize for my selfish actions."I sat on my bed morosely contemplating. I rubbed my fingers on my forehead.This is what I get for trusting other people… no, this isn't the time I should be doubting my accomplices. I know his progress is doing relatively fast but perhaps a week may have been pushing it to the limit."Fine, we'll have to start the challenges now," I declared."Even without you?""We have to move things somewhere.

The background became an eyesore once more because of the oversaturated colors. I decided to look down at the floor as I passed through the class to avoid seeing these painful colors, as well as avoid meeting anyone's gaze, as failure to do so, will give my own classmates a dinner known as me. To ease my hand, I tucked my phone into my shorts' left pocket.I took a short glance at the critters that I once recognized as my classmates. Their gazes shot everywhere. Their breathing was erratic. Most importantly… their faces were hungry, not for food, mind you. Even our teacher was losing control, he wasn't even teaching. He just sat silently.Everyone must still be short-circuiting from the sudden transition.I decided to ignore the scenery before me and tried to find Okada.I tried to find her everywhere but she just wasn't there. I turned around to see that she was the very first person to the door I just entered.Bro… Did I really just miss her because I looked down?I sighed in disapp

"But how will I do that?" I asked myself, "Do I bribe Okada again?"If so, what can I even offer to her? I owe her for last time and hadn't even repaid her yet.I crossed my fingers."Got nothing else to do other than hope."I stood up and walked in circles."However, there is another problem that arises... I am supposed to be phoned in sick and since Okada is in the same class as I am... there is a high chance that I get spotted if I get close to her."Should I make use of the Overruling Statement again? But then again, a Slice-of-Life Protagonist regardless of gender has broad application over various genres and is included in almost all. Even if their role was diminished even for a slight second, they would remain a side character which only takes away their ability and frequency to interact but does not change their personality in any way."What I'm saying is if they see me, they're not going to forget it."Then should I ask Mieko once more for help?I scratched my head at the ide

We went down to the first floor where we took a break from the intense confrontation. "I can't believe that actually worked," Yoshida said in disbelief. "What did I tell you?" I responded in a smug manner. Arata went down the escalator and approached us. "Arata! Our hero and savior," Hara chanted. "Why didn't any of you pick up your phones?" Arata asked. "There was no signal here," I answered. I checked my phone only to see that there was now a signal. "There's a signal right there," Arata pointed out. "Look, I'm not lying. It just happens that there is one right now. Why don't we set aside all this for now and call it a day?" "Hmm, I guess..." "Hey, what about the subjugation plan? The plan to conquer Mari? Whatever happened to your progress? Inform us." "Things are... progressing. I was able to exchange messages with her since she accepted my friend request just earlier." I was baffled. I was overjoyed. I did not expect my seeds of progress to be growing at such a rapid

We went up the escalators and up to the 4th floor where the arcade was located."Woah…" Yoshida said in awe."Games!" Ishimoto said in a slightly higher yet still monotonous tone."Here. Now you guys go crazy," I told them."Woohoo!" they all cheered.We all went inside the arcade.…...The girls exited the clothing store. All of them held paper bags of varying pastel colors."That was great!" Ran cheered."It could've been much better if you hadn't kept pestering me," Mari told her."Why don't you just go ahead and tell us who the lucky guy is?" Rin insisted."For the last time… I never said it was a guy!""You wouldn't be as reluctant to share if it was a girl. C'mon just tell us, what's there to be shy about? Unless…"Ran gasped, "IT'S A BOYFRIEND! IT HAS TO BE!"Mari turned red out of embarrassment, "WHA?! STOP ASSUMING THINGS!"Yuka raised her arm, "Um…"They heard her and listened."Wh-What do we do next?""Good question," Rin answered."My energy is drained. How 'bout we go p

I and Yoshida were both gloomy.Ishimoto spoke, "You can borrow my money."Our eyes lit, "REALLY?!""Yeah, I've got enough money to support you two.""You're a lifesaver, Ishimoto," I praised."We'll definitely pay you back!"After all that was settled, Yoshida grabbed the menu and we took a peak. Minutes later, everyone sat back in their places."Alright, place your orders!" Hara yelled as he took out a piece of paper and pen and put it on the table.I started first and wrote down my order. It was passed down to Hara, then, Ishimoto, and finally, Yoshida.Ishimoto took out his money and stood up expecting to be the one to order.Yoshida held out his hand."No need, Ishimoto. I'll do it. It's the very least that I can do.""Okay."Ishimoto gave the money to Yoshida and then Yoshida headed to the counter to take out orders."Alright, I'll go straight to the point. We have to think of the next challenge," I declared, "But this time, please recommend challenges that are less luck-based."

EPISODE 28 - Slice-of-Life Competition (Part 9)
11:00 AM I was preparing my stuff. After I finished with that, I took a shower so that I wouldn't smell. I grabbed a towel and dried myself up. I went upstairs to my room and opened up my drawer. I scrolled through my countless clothes and uniforms hung on a wooden hanger. "Nope… Not this…" I finally stumbled upon a blue and white striped buttoned shirt. I wore short blue jeans and sprayed normal cologne instead of the manly cologne I save for special occasions. I went downstairs and grabbed my bag. From there, Nakatani caught the scent of my cologne. "Oh??? Onii-chan is getting all fancy and dressed up. Meeting a girl? A date perhaps?" she guessed. "Oh, I wish. But nothing special, just a hang-out with the boys." I say that but it's actually a multi-layered plan, specifically, to discuss the challenges with them, to eat a thing OTHER than curry, and to go out for a while. Sad to say that I'm becoming less and less of a shut-in because of them. After all of this, I'm gonna take
