100 days of enemy recs: 81. The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System
It's about a man who was addicted to pornographic online novels (relatable) and was particularly obsessed with this particularly terrible one about a hunky Destined Hero who went around saving the world, having a lot of poorly-justified tropey sex, and building a massive harem. Then the man dies suddenly when reading, and wakes up in the body of a character in the novel. Unfortunately, it's the body of the evil lord who tormented the hero throughout his childhood and is later horribly killed by him. Our Hero has to figure out how to save himself from this terrible fate - without throwing the general course of events too badly off, or acting remarkably out of character, or he'll face a different terrible fate. He settles on just not being a dick to the hero. Unfortunately, he overshoots, and the hero falls madly in love with him instead.
Later there's a subplot wherein the original author of the terrible novel also gets transmigrated in. As far as I can tell his main dilemma is that when he was writing the book, he wrote the Great And Terrible Ice Demon Lord to be his perfect man, and now that the Great And Terrible Ice Demon Lord has met him, he? might have to actually follow through??
So there is definitely some enemyslash stuff in here but it's. Kind of a mess to figure out *where*? And I haven't really read enough fic to really know what is going on in the English fandom for it either. But here are some fics that I read? And like? And managed to at least sort of follow what was going on in them?

Summary:Shang Qinghua is not stupid.
It does not take a genius to know what it means when you ask a servant where your lord has left to and they readily supply the name of an exclusive brothel in between the two realms. Especially when it's after your utterly disastrous first time together.
So he goes away for a bit to clear his head. And promptly gets kidnapped.

Series: Part 1 of Six Feet Under
Summary:Yan Xiyan - Binghe's 67th conquest - never lived up to the expectations placed on her shoulders when the long-awaited Celestial Fox Demon arc started in the novel. The readers and the author quickly forgot about her the moment the wedding was finished and she was never mentioned again.
This should have made Shen Yuan's transmigrated life smooth-sailing, allowing him to disappear into anonymity, to live his new life freely in the safety of Binghe's harem. But life is full of surprises, eh?

In any case, I think that some of the Liu Qingge stuff may be closest to enemyship, because he hates original!Shen Qingqiu?

I feel like the real enemyship here should be Cucumber/Airplane because there's no love/hate like the relationship between a WIP author and their readers.
no subject
lol yes airplane-bro/cucumber-bro is a pure and beautiful enemyship and I love it very much
no subject
I think you are correct that nearly every relationship and possible relationship can be construed this way, due to nearly every character having the emotional intelligence of a nematode.
Even Binghe, who is pretty in touch with what he wants, still swings wildly between wanting to throttle Shizun or rail him, for periods of canon.

lollllllll too true!
