A woman, doomed to live the life of a fantasy romance novels villainess again and again. Decides that this life she will simply be lazy, allow the story to drag her where it may However, the other main characters are acting rather strange this time around. They simply will not leave her to laze about in peace. This is my first book, and also incredibly self indulgent. Created mostly for my own enjoyment. Featuring: an mc who gives no fucks, obsessive male leads, and gratuitous use of fantasy tropes. What more can a gall ask for. (There is no weird sibling stuff, and there is very little of the miscommunication trope. Mostly because I personally dislike that sort of thing.)

Our protagonist is a hillbilly from West Virginia that finds themself in the middle of a summoning between some Necromancers (heavily based and inspired on D&D5e) and a Great Old One. Hijinks ensue. They are genre-savvy about D&D but ignorant about the Xianxia/cultivation world they ends up falling into. You can consider this a somewhat non-traditional Xianxia story, where the MC's "special advantage" that often exists (golden finger in the tropes of the genre) is being a patient low-level Wizard from a D&D campaign. Can our MC cultivate the dao while trying not to go insane due to contact with Great Old One? Can they combine magic and "this newfangled Qi business"? We'll see!

It is a common trope in Novels for heroes to wake up in another world, thrust into a situation where they must fulfill a prophecy or help defeat evil in their world. However, there is a notable absence in these stories: a character who arrives by mistake, with no clear goal or desire, and no one who wants them there.

To make matters worse, the residents are reluctant to assist her in returning to her home, claiming that her presence poses a threat to them.

Transmigrating with a system into a sadistic romance novel is a bit overwhelming for Paige at the age of 34 and being a Hikikomori. "You are the protagonist of this world." She stated while the system directly shocked her left and right for disclosing the storyline to the male lead on her first day. A system trying to satisfy the creator, a shut-in that can't take care of herself, and a teenage male lead catching himself infatuated with the wrong person. The more time passed, the more everything went out of control, as apparently nothing had been as it seemed. A dark version of the typical system trope. WARNING: BLOODY, GORE, ANIMAL ABUSE, MENTION OF RAPE, DRUGS, YANDERE....

This is basically a little angel!"
