I’m a proud NEET who’s devoured every romance novel, manga, webtoon, and otome game out there. Just when I thought I’d conquered it all, a black bunny appeared in my dream. “Congrats! You’ve been chosen to help villains win across multiple worlds!” “Like a game?” “Uh . . . sure.” “Great, I’m in!” And just like that, I became an agent of the Villain System. Time to rewrite some happily-ever-afters—villain style. **[NOTE!]** This novel features multiple short arcs, each exploring different tropes such as ancient China, the modern world, beasts, werewolves, vampires, fantasy, school romance, idol groups—you name it! The twist? Each arc focuses on our MC making the villain (male) triumph over the male and female leads. The story is written primarily in 2nd and 3rd person POV for a dynamic and immersive experience. || Excerpt || [WARNING! MATURE Content Ahead!] “Then serve me . . . properly.” The command was both sensual and authoritative, and Xue Li’s pulse quickened under his intense gaze. The air between them grew heavy, her trembling hands faltering as she began to run the sponge across his chest, her touch featherlight against his scars. “Y-yes your majesty.” Xue Li’s hand trembled slightly as she dipped the towel into the warm, fragrant water, her breath catching as she squeezed it out over Han Feng’s shoulders. The water cascaded down his chiseled frame, tracing every ridge and contour of his muscles. She swallowed hard, focusing intently on her task, though her heart raced like a drum in her chest. She began at his shoulders, her touch gentle as the towel glided over his skin. His scars, a mix of old battles and untold stories, caught her attention, and she hesitated for a brief moment before continuing. The warmth of the water mixed with the heat radiating from his body, and the intimacy of the moment sent a shiver up her spine. Han Feng leaned back slightly, watching her through half-lidded eyes, his expression unreadable. “Slower,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that made her pulse skip. Xue Li obeyed, her movements becoming more deliberate as she ran the sponge across his chest, down the defined lines of his abdomen. Each stroke felt unbearably sensual, her fingers brushing his skin as she worked. She tried to maintain her composure, but the proximity to him, the sheer physicality of his presence, made her feel as though the air had thickened. When she reached his arms, he extended one lazily, letting her clean him as though it were his divine right. Her hand moved carefully, trailing down his forearm to his wrist, her touch so soft it almost tickled. Han Feng’s silence was oppressive yet charged, the pressure of his gaze pinning her in place. As she lowered the sponge to his torso again, her hand faltered briefly near the sharp line of his hipbone. The water ran over his skin like liquid fire, and her breath hitched when she noticed the slight curve of his lips, a hint of satisfaction playing there. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice velvet smooth, making her flinch. “I-It’s the steam, Your Majesty,” she stammered, though she knew it was a poor excuse. Han Feng chuckled softly, the sound deep and rich. “Hmm . . . Is that so? Then you have no problem cleaning my cock right?” Xue Li's eyes trembled, on the verge of tears, which seemed to please Han Feng. His smile grew wider as he urged her on. "Go on. You're going to serve me properly, aren't you?"

Dying right after passing his college exams wasn’t exactly how he planned to start his new life—but fate had other ideas. Instead of moving forward, he wakes up inside The Eternal Rose, a bestselling novel in his world. Worse, he’s not the hero, not even a side character—he’s Lucius Everaine, the infamous villain doomed to die at the hands of four powerful male leads. In the original story, Lucius refused a political marriage between his family and the royal family, forcing his father to adopt the heroine as a substitute. His cruelty toward her led to his downfall, making him a hated character. But now? He has no interest in playing the villain’s role. Instead of following the script, he accepts the engagement—securing his place as the crown prince’s fiancée. The only catch? He has to pretend to be a woman. Everything should have changed. He should be safe. Yet, the male leads, who once despised him, now refuse to leave him alone. The prince, his supposed enemy, treats him with unexpected warmth. His rival—one of the male leads—fixates on him with an intensity that borders on obsession. Even the heroine, who should hate him, shows no fear. He knows the novel’s ending. He was supposed to be hated. Feared. Killed. So why are they all looking at him like he’s the one thing they can’t lose? And more importantly—can he truly escape fate, or is he only rewriting his own tragedy?

As Elara juggles her secret modeling career and her undercover school life, her two worlds start to collide. The more she tries to hide, the more tangled things become.

[If you are looking for a slow romance, you can give it a check if not, you'll be disappointed] Aera, a young 28-year-old was about to make her dream debut by opening her own floral shop that could be shipped in and around. Nevertheless, things didn't go as she planned. One would say that transmigrating to a book sound like a fantasy, however to Aera, it became a nightmare when she woke up in an unknown world even when she hasn't died yet. With an unexpected turnout, her life was hanging by a thin thread. Aera was presented with an option-either she goes back to her world with her memory erased or enter the other world, and comes back with the memory intact to have her revenge. Never did she expect of choosing the worst villain of all. A character in a book where she killed the Empress and her unborn child. Worst, the male lead was reborn time after time with his memory intact. His grudge still hung on torturing the villainess. Even more worst, the ML was a split image of her long-time crush. ----- "Do you hate me that much?" As soon as the question was raised, a table lamp flew past through the said person, smashing against the wall behind him. "More than enough to kill you right now." The female figure responded with nothing but hatred and disgust in her tone. Her jewel eyes that glow under the dark never left her gaze on the other male person who was sitting on her opposite. ----- The male lead wasn't the only one Aera had to put a guard on but even other characters when one after the other began to make an appearance. The more the flow gets out of the plot the more twisted it gets. Her only goal was to survive so she could go back home.  P.S:- English is not my first language and I am weak in grammar. I'll be happy to receive either a critics or feedback or comments...^-^ Please do give it a read till chapter 3 or above to get the clear picture.

Keith, a regular office worker from Earth, suddenly transmigrates to the world of the novel he had been reading for the past decade. The new world, which was also called Earth, was slightly different. People with various powers existed who were called awakeners, making this world comparatively dangerous and also mysterious. While he was thrown into the novel's world, he was also given a mystical ability to grant systems to other people. Armed with his special ability, he slowly climbs up the power ladder by taking "taxes" from the people he would give systems to. The only question that remained, was what would a realistic normal man, when faced with a similar minded protagonist, do when their goals opposed each other.

WSA 2025 In every story, there exists the hero and the villain, the protagonist and the antagonist. And like every story, the hero always wins, and always gets the girl. But what happens now that I died and became a villain in the last book I read? Not even a proper villain, but one that the protagonist kills in the early chapters.

Un alma vieja en su desesperación por vivir comete un gran pecado. Escapando del ciclo de la vida, se ve obligado a reencarnar en un mundo similar pero extraño a lo que conoce. Una mascarada existente entre gobernantes. Peligros sobrenaturales se esconden en cada rincón y el mundo resulta ser mucho más vasto y complejo de lo que jamás pensó. Debiendo cargar con la marca del más grande de los pecados, se verá obligado a hacer lo único que sabe: luchar por sobrevivir. -- Resumen: Un alma vieja de nuestro mundo termina en una realidad alterna, donde las mujeres actúan como hombres y los hombres como mujeres. La mayoría de las mitologías son reales y también sus respectivos seres sobrenaturales. El protagonista lucha por equilibrar recuerdos que jamás pidió heredar de una vida pasada. Al mismo tiempo que intenta resistirse a que estos influyan en quien es. -- Notas: Esta es una historia que hice luego de leer algunas historias de reverse sexual morality. Quería hacer algo más centrado en la historia y no en lo sexual. Probablemente tenga algunos errores ya que escribo desde móvil y me apoyo en correctores para la gramatica. -- Advertencias: No self-insert, slow-pace, el protagonista es un niño genuino que se ve influido por memorias pasadas. Por lo que puede parecer mucho más maduro y también inteligente, pero sigue siendo un niño que puede tomar decisiones impulsivas (o, por lo menos, hasta que crezca más). También alguna que otra crisis de identidad, porque dudo de que la reencarnación sea tan fácil como acostumbrarse luego de uno o dos capítulos. Por lo mismo, no esperar romance temprano por parte del MC (al menos hasta que el protagonista cresca y se acostumbre). Mundo sobrenatural, mundo paralelo, sociedad matriaral (RSM) y otras añadidos.
