With the filming done, I faced the real challenge—editing on this budget phone. I'd barely started when my stomach growled. "Right, food first."
After a quick meal of instant ramen, I dove back in. Three hours of fighting with the lagging interface later, I finally had my finished product.
I played it back one...
I might upload Tycoon Actor and Greatest Idol a few hours later. The update schedule will be irregular, with updates for Lord of Entertainment and Tycoon Actor potentially spaced a few hours apart. Subsequent updates for other novels will follow later.

The Autumn Film Festival had always showcased low-budget but emotionally resonant films. This year, however, one particular entry commanded unprecedented attention - Arthur's latest work which diverged significantly from his usual style.
Unlike previous years where major media outlets from Kanat...
I sighed in resignation. What's done is done. The contract was signed—Lux and I were both masters of each other. At least I'd avoided becoming his "puppet" entirely.
Changing topics, I voiced another concern. "About this viral video—if it's such a success, why am I only 'average' now? Shouldn't I be more... desirab...
I decided to channel my experiences as an "ugly" person into content—all those painful, demeaning moments. The question was whether to play it for laughs or lean into the raw emotion.
But ultimately, it didn't matter if people laughed or cried. All that counted was generating enough Fame Energy to feed Lux and myself...
Generating 'Fame Energy' seemed simple enough in theory—just become famous.
The paths to fame in 2019 were numerous: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube... but TikTok caught my attention. The platform was still growing, making it easier to gain visibility and build a following quickly. Perfect for someone desperate...

Nothing. Despite my mature mind, these crucial details seemed to have been stripped away.

"Oh God..." I feel my life slowly ebbing away, like a balloon releasing its final breath. The end draws near—I can sense it, thin as a strand of silk between my fingers.
Though my days have been spent confined to this bed, the solitude has taught me something unexpected: a beauty in living alone, even as the world mo...

I may not be able to upload for the next few days, or possibly up to a week, as our house is about to be rebuilt following a fire. Thankfully, our family and community have received tremendous support from the local government and many kind-hearted people. Thank you for your understanding.
2024-12-13 12:04:50 +0000 UTC View PostHeartbreaking news. My family and I are gonna experience a sorrowful Christmas this year. A fire broke out in our neighborhood, and while I’m unsure of its origin, it seems to have started at a neighbor's home. The devastation is overwhelming, and I’m at a loss for words or emotions right now.

Watching John's excessive reverence, I reconsidered my plan to erase his memories of my divine identity. Despite his annoying behavior, I owed him - if he hadn't randomly started praying to me, I might never have discovered my System's "Divine Feature."

Lucas watched the news footage with an amused expression. "The whole hair thing is hilarious - I hadn't even slept in that bed for months."
"Those kids probably found old hair from when you still used the room," Jennifer suggested, trying not to laugh. "Or maybe they planted it themselves to make it look authentic."
