Wasting Time with Britane

Ten-year-old!Tim intercepting Nightwing on patrol: hi

Nightwing: Hi there buddy :) you lost?

Tim: no

Nightwing: Do you need help?

Tim: no

Nightwing: ? What do you need then?

Tim, shyly: can you do a somersault for me?

Nightwing: Oh! I can do that :) which one?

Tim: the quadruple somersault please

Nightwing: Okay-

Tim: the one that only Flying Graysons could do.

Nightwing: ...Is that right?

Tim: i know you're Dick Grayson. adopt me and I won't tell anyone

Nightwing:

Nightwing, squinting: You're the Drake kid. When did you become an orphan?

Tim: i didn't

Tim: but I can if that's a requirement

Nightwing: Are you suggesting you would kill your parents?

Tim: ...no?

Nightwing: Kid-

Tim: my name's Tim

Nightwing: Tim, you can't kill your parents.

Tim, stubbornly: you can't parent me until you adopt me

Nightwing, remembering how much he put Bruce through: This is karma.

One month later

Bruce: Dick! I didn't know you were visiting! Not that I'm upset, I'm really glad, it's just a surpise-

Bruce: Whose kid is that.

Dick, exhausted: Mine apparently.

Tim: hi :D

Bruce, assuming Tim is five because he's small: You got someone pregnant at sixteen?

Jason, at the same time: You stole a kid?

Tim: I know you're Batman and Robin :D

Dick: What part of this looks like I had a choice. He was planning to kill his parents.

Tim: they just handed over custody so I didn't have to :D

Dick: I'm sorry for being a difficult kid, but please fix this, he's not eating

Jason: Have you tried peanut butter or potatoes?

Bruce: He knows our identities? And planned to kill his parents?

Dick, ignoring Bruce: Tim's not a dog.

Tim: i like peanut butter. and potatoes

Jason: See, Dickhead? I know stuff.

Dick: You're the smartest person ever, Little Wing, now how do I make that into a full meal

Bruce: Why does a murderous child know our identities?

Dick, frowning: Let the kid eat first, Bruce.

Jason: Yeah, Bruce. Why do you want the kid to starve?

Bruce: I didn't-

Tim: you want me to starve? i'm sorry :(

[incoherent screeching bc qqgk’s jiuhuo is one of my top 3 fav danmei in terms of cp and story]

LINKS ARE HERE | So we call it QQGK for short which stands for quanqiu gaokao (global university entrance examination / 全球高考which was written by musuli (木苏里). (look at the super pretty manhua art!!!)

SETTING/PLOT. The setting here is that people are getting “dragged into” a world where they have to pass series of tests like in a uni exam which is ruled by a System — the catch is that the exams have been twisted making it into some sort of survival game as wrong answers will take your life or [redacted]; that, and the questions have been designed to fuck you up and make you fail. The goal is for you to “pass” the test as an examinee which they believe is a way to get out of the place. And of course, since there are examinees, there are also invigilators (ones who preside and watch over the tests) and everyone in this world are under the rules of the System.

CHARACTERS + CP DYNAMICS.

Our MC is named You Huo (i love him!) and the first chapters start off with him and his cousin and uncle getting dragged into the exam. He’s kind of cold but really very intelligent as he find ways on how to twist the System’s rules to beneift the examinees and ensure their survival. He has a chunk of his memories forgotten and his only clue is his earring.

Then we have the ML whose name is Qin Jiu (he’s my fav!) and is the Head Invigilator code named Invigilator 001. He’s also extremely intelligent like You Huo. He and his team (922 and 154) were dispatched by the System initially to punish the ones who “broke the rules” in one exam which actually is You Huo. Despite supposedly being an extension of the System, he’s actually very chill about rule breaking and tiptoes the lines himself.

On their “first meeting” (wink wink), sparks fly — You Huo considers murdering this invigilator and said invigilator is having fun teasing the other. A lot of bickering from them is reaaaally good and fed me well haha We also find out that Qin Jiu’s memories were wiped by the System due to a big incident before (wink wink).

Things happen and we see a lot of action from You Huo and Qin Jiu basically fucking up the System and the System being so petty against them. Both of them are chaotic powerful individuals in their own rights so imagine how much of a power couple they are once teamed up. And what makes this better imo is that despite that kind of individuality, they’re actually really soft to each other once they got together. It’s amazing to see how they twist the System’s own rules against it and being so brazenly chaotic shameless about it and it’s kinda like —

System: This is a Maths test. If X and Y are twins whose parents left them in the house and gravity stops while Neighbor plants pizza but only on winter and there’s chocolate in the table while Channel A is on the television. How much can the twins eat?

JiuHuo: *looks at each other* *shrugs* *makes the twins eat each other*

(istg even if i made that up, the exams are that weird and fucked up lol)

Personally, QQGK is very well balanced on plot (explanations were good, little to no plot holes) and CP dynamics (jiuhuo is so good!!! please it’s literally one of my top 3 alongside weilan that’s how much i legit love them).
