>Here he actually gets to stop the ntr guy, but not in a heroic or in some cool way
So like every protagonist? That's not very "background character"-ish
The character you're describing is just a generic anime protagonist. Nothing about your story so far actually delivers on the "he's not the protagonist of the world he's living in", because you've got a bunch of exceptional situations happening to him specifically. Why is he sitting in the typical protagonist seat with the typical childhood friend love interest and bully villain to face off with and even heroically defeat? This is all "protagonist of an anime world" shit, not anything that would happen to a background character.

Anyway like always you want to establish as quickly and as clearly as possible that the person we're following in the background character in an anime world. Open with something that makes that obvious, not just the character sitting around aimlessly waiting for something to happen. He has a life, shit to do -- show him just trying to live that life while crazy shit is happening around him. Don't make him unflappable about it, otherwise you're just telling a story about somebody remarkable who isn't bothered by exceptional situations. Don't make him have to actually rise up to these situations, because that's something for an anime protagonist to do. At most he could try to fight the monsters or whatever but be instantly cut down because he's nothing special, like all the faceless civilians that get eaten by monsters in anime/manga to introduce them. Anything that doesn't paint him as special or heroic. You can make him brave, but don't make him able to actually back that bravery up because then you've just got a hero character.

You spent a lot of time and effort whining about some bullshit so I agree with your pic, you're pretty fuckin stupid.

How does one go about painting environments without the help of texture brushes/texture pictures?
