Description
Li Zhiyu, as a minor supporting character in a romance novel, was set to secretly love Gu Chengyan for three years, relying on him to get through the boring high school. Just as she was about to confess her love to him in college, she found out that he had several other pursuers and quietly withdrew. Then, she overheard Gu Chengyan say to someone else, “Li Zhiyu? She’s neither pretty nor special. Why would I be interested in her?” After hearing this, Li Zhiyu seemed to have triggered a key and awakened. From then on, she went back and forth on the road of being invisible, fearing that she would become a cannon fodder. As a result, after graduating from college, Li Zhiyu and Gu Chengyan became relatives. She became Gu Chengyan’s sister-in-law. On the day of the engagement between the two families, Gu Chengyan’s brother Gu Chengze refused to entertain relatives and friends in order, and saw Gu Chengyan staring blankly at Li Zhiyu. Gu Chengze sneered at him coldly, “Why are you so impolite? Hurry up and greet your sister-in-law.” Li Zhiyu smiled and said softly, “It’s okay, we will all be family from now on, hello, little brother.” Gu Chengyan: Damn little brother. I just said something harsh, but how come the sky has changed. As a result, Li Zhiyu didn’t see the male protagonist and female protagonist in the book abusing their bodies and hearts, but was instead tossed by Gu Chengze.

My Thoughts on After The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Awakens
First Impressions
Alright, let's dive into "After The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Awakens." Going in, I knew this was a completed original story with ongoing translation, tagged as mature with a heavy romance focus. I was definitely expecting some steam, and a story centered around a female protagonist waking up to her role in a larger narrative. My initial thought? This could be a fun, escapist read.
What Works Well
The premise itself is intriguing. The idea of a character becoming aware of their "cannon fodder" status has a lot of potential for interesting self-awareness and subversion of tropes. The tags highlight a "beautiful female lead" and "handsome male lead" which is always a draw for the romance genre. The "love interest falls in love first" trope is also something I personally enjoy, as it can create some dynamic power imbalances and heartfelt moments. The "office romance" setting coupled with "older love interests" adds another layer of complexity that could be explored in interesting ways. The inclusion of pregnancy as a plot point also suggests potential for character growth and deepening of the relationship.
Areas of Concern
However, I can't ignore some potential pitfalls I noticed. It seems like the execution might not fully live up to the promise of the premise. I'm a little concerned about the reported brevity of the "smut" scenes. If the story is tagged as R-18, I would hope for more depth and detail in those moments. I also worry that if the storyline isn't strong enough, the romance might feel rushed or underdeveloped.
Final Verdict
Overall, "After The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Awakens" sounds like it has the potential to be a fun and steamy read, especially if you're a fan of the tropes it employs. However, I'm going in with slightly tempered expectations, hoping the storyline can hold its own and that the mature content delivers on its promise. I'll be curious to see how the translation progresses and whether the story can fully realize its potential. I'm hoping for a fun, engaging read, but I'm also prepared for it to be a bit of a mixed bag.
