Depressive-style screenwriter

Doyenro
This is an Unoffical Chinese translated novel Author: Hua Fei ( 画飞 ) Translator: Doyenro(for fun) ---------- Su Yan has been reborn. In his previous life, he was obsessed with all things depressing—anime, novels, dramas—you name it. Now, in this world, his job is… a freshly hired newbie screenwriter who just went full-time at a TV station. At first, people thought he must’ve gone through a bad breakup or something to be writing such heart-wrenching stories. But later… Reporter: “Mr. Su Yan, would you say you’re naturally dark-minded? Do you enjoy destroying the beautiful things you create in your stories just to make your fans cry in despair?” Su Yan: “Absolutely not. I’m a 100% mentally stable, sunshine-filled guy who was born with the ability to love.” In reality... Su Yan silently looked at the skills he unlocked by harvesting his fans’ emotional breakdowns— Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu Swordsmanship, Flute Mastery, Violin Mastery, Piano Mastery, Natural Charisma... and so on. He fell into silence. “It’s not my fault. The system made me do it!” The vibe of this story? Think live-action adaptations of emotional gut-punch anime like: Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal, Your Lie in April, Scum’s Wish, Air, Clannad, Madoka Magica, Three Questions About the End, Violet Evergarden, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, Angel Beats!... Maybe even some story-driven games like To the Moon turned into scripts.

Hollow Veil

In a world where power determines your worth, being ordinary is a death sentence. Seventeen-year-old Michael Ozor is tired of everything. Tired of a life that feels like an endless cycle of disappointment. Tired of friendships that bring more chaos than comfort. Tired of love that leaves him more broken than before. And most of all, tired of being the fool who keeps hoping things will get better. With two girls pulling his heart in opposite directions, a past he cannot escape, and a future he has little faith in, Michael is ready to stop caring. No more chasing love. No more pointless expectations. If people want to bring chaos into his life, then perhaps it is time he gave them something to fear. Then comes Emox. A school promising to awaken the supernatural abilities hidden within its students, Emox offers Michael a chance to become something more. But beneath its promises lies a world far crueler than he could ever imagine, where power comes at a price, trust can be fatal, and survival demands more than strength. When an unexpected message from a girl threatens to unravel the fragile world he has built around himself, Michael is forced to confront the one thing he has spent his life running from: himself. But what if the darkness inside him is not something to overcome? What if it is the only thing keeping him alive? In a world where power defines humanity, how much of yours can you lose before you become something else entirely? Welcome to The Hollow Veil, where love can become a weakness, memories can become weapons, and the line between monster and human is thinner than anyone dares to believe. Not everyone gets to be a hero.
