It's Actually Not Easy Wanting to Be a Supporting Male Lead by mijia

 Honestly, I spent most of this book wondering why the hell I was still reading this crap. The worlds are VERY short and only a cursory nod is given to any sort of worldbuilding. Most of story is played out, first in the drama of the ML, Xiao Xihe, being a complete asshole to the MC, and justifying it by saying he loves him so who cares if he screws him over, and the MC disliking him. Once the MC does start liking him and they get over the hurdle of he's going to be deleted because Xiao Xihe thinks that since the rules don't really apply to him they must not apply to anyone else either, the story becomes infinitely more boring. I did like some of the MC's witty comebacks to Xiao Xihe's bull and the best parts of the story were any time Xiao Xihe was not getting his way (rarely until much later) and the content warnings are real with this one.
Honestly, I wouldn't waste your time. If you've a hankering for a QT novel like I had, go back and read one of your favorites because this one is just an all around disappointment.
