Hi all! I've been reading a lot of novels lately, and there are some weird categories for stories that I want to find in manga format but unfortunately cannot seem to do so. I was wondering if anyone knows of manga that might have the following elements? I'd prefer BL, but not necessary.

All of these requests are related to what we'd call "cannon fodder" in Chinese, and it basically refers to any side character that eventually gets killed off or ignored once they've served their purpose in the story.

1. Professionally-hired "2nd guy/girl" or "evil side character". Their purpose in the main plot is to attempt to break up the MC couple either by being overly perfect or being evil, but in the end their effort strengthens the MCs' relationship. What I'm looking for is where the focus is placed on these characters trying to do this exact role professionally.

2. Professional cannon fodder finally becomes the MC, but does not realize it, so all the decisions they make are weird (I'm thinking 當職業炮灰穿越 成傑克蘇, if anyone has read that before)

3. Any story that talks about an entire story from the side-character / cannon fodder POV

4. Cannon-fodder "system" stories. Just like how there are a lot of those stories where the MC has a 'game system' where he can level up by doing XYZ, this one is all about being at being a cannon fodder.


Anything along those lines... thanks!
