Synopsis:
Xue Ling is a nine-tailed fox who has been cultivating for thousands of years but lost all his tails in a moment of capriciousness.
Tails are easy to self-destruct, but not easy to recover. In order to restore his human figure, he must struggle to destroy the plot, forcibly change the protagonist's fate, and be the cannon fodder in the first line of attack.
But why are these plots more and more irrational? The setup is getting more and more weird, and what is with this person that is showing up in every single world?
It seems that before going through all these worlds, he has forgotten some very important affairs?
Su Xuanyan: Yes, you've forgotten me.
Xue Ling: Get lost! (▼皿▼#) Clearly every time you are the one that doesn't remember anything!
Su Xuanyan: Oh, this is purely an accident.
Impressions: Taking a rest from MTL so chose a completely translated novel~~ This is quite good, very easy to binge read. At first, MC would try to complete the mission on his own, but on the later arcs, after he finds ML, MC would just cling on his golden thigh. There were also missions with high degree of difficulty before where his identity makes it hard to counterattack, but laters, System and author-sama seems to favor MC and just gave him simpler missions which could basically be completed as long as he gets together with ML. (Some arcs, the 'protagonist' was even completely buried by MC & ML lovey dovey life and slowly faded away/no longer being mentioned.) Its easy to tell that author-sama is trying to introduce new things to spice things up (like the plot defender or where ML would recognize the wrong MC) but in the end, it wasn't followed through and MC couldn't bear to abuse ML too much. (Hohoho~~ I think I want to read abuse-the-ML novels next.) He was just being tsundere~~ Overall, this was a good QT novel to pass the time, although it won't be one of my faves.

Favorite arcs: the CV/Audio drama arc - ML was particularly shameless here. Also, the wrongly married princess arc. Lol. ML was also tossed a lot on this one; and the abandoned Princess arc, ML was too OP!
