The protagonist spent his entire life in misery, forgotten and unloved by the world. That all changed when a Demoness—a captivating and manipulative daughter of one of the most powerful noble families across all the realms—dragged him into hell. Thrust into a cruel and unforgiving society, he found himself mocked and tormented as a mere human among demons. The Demoness, however, had her own sinister agenda. She extended what seemed like compassion, shielding him from the horrors of hell and becoming the only figure in his life to offer care. Yet her kindness was nothing more than a ploy to gain his trust. She sought to reshape him into a submissive pawn—someone who would worship her, crave her approval, and bend to her every command. To ensure her control, she took the ultimate step: she turned him into a demon. But with this transformation came an unforeseen consequence. Freed from the limitations of his humanity, the newly-formed demon became fixated on her.

No longer her victim, he turned the tables, taking control of her life and binding her to his will. What began as her calculated manipulation spiraled into her own nightmare. The Demoness found herself trapped, her life carefully orchestrated by the very creature she had sought to dominate. His warped sense of love consumed him, driving him to possess her entirely, both body and soul. This is a dark tale of power, obsession, and manipulation, where the lines between affection and control blur. Witness the rise of a human-turned-demon as he transforms into a force that not even the Demoness could predict, determined to make her his in every way imaginable.

A good story with interesting characters and a mature, dominant, uncompromising MC. The system will be relatively light, meaning it won't be all-powerful, and the MC won't get bullied by it. If you enjoy a slightly overpowered villain MC using his unscrupulous methods to work towards a somewhat positive goal while having plenty of sex along the way, you'll enjoy this novel. I intend for Earth to be somewhat of a cyberpunk style, but that won't be the focus. Mainly because the novel involves multiple planets, and so far, I have only planned for Earth to be this way. I will probably do some Netori (meaning MC steals other people's women), but absolutely no Netorare. No Yuri, either. (By which I mean no intimate interactions between harem members without the MC present, but it might happen at his direction and with his presence.) I'll offer a bonus chapter for every review, at least for a little while. Of course, only one per person; bad reviews still count, but they should consist of constructive criticism.
