Popularity is Everything: My Art Style is Too Eccentric!

Xia Ye transmigrates into a world where popularity reigns supreme, a reality woven together from various anime series and video games. In this realm, individuals who embody specific characters strive relentlessly to boost their popularity ratings, as social influence dictates one’s entire existence. Grasping the core mechanic immediately, Xia Ye declares, “So, all that matters is having enough popularity, right?” His journey begins with unconventional methods. In the anime “Psychic City,” he appears as a character rendered in crude stick-figure sketches, boldly claiming, “Who says I lack psychic powers? Mine are just overwhelmingly powerful!” Later, within the game “Villain Catalog,” he unsettles the protagonist party not by fleeing, but by advancing toward them with a bizarre, infectious laugh. Finally, in “Restarting the Hero’s Path,” he commands his companion, Ling, to act, famously asserting that “even a deceased hero will never break character.” With these eccentric exploits, Xia Ye makes a striking debut as the unrivaled King of Popularity.
