Kingdom building, slow burn but engaging and non-romantic type book (check review) Lucian thought he was doing the right thing—fulfilling an old man's dying wish. It wasn't much, really. He deleted the old man's browser history and, as a final touch, even placed a couple of R-18 magazines in his grave for good measure. You know, to make sure the old guardian had a peaceful afterlife, free of shame. The reward for his good deed? He got killed by a ghost that very same day. No, this isn't some twisted horror story. Lucian just had the misfortune of being reborn as the worst kind of character—a terminally ill, third-rate villain. Not even a true villain, honestly. Calling him a villain would be giving him too much credit. He’s more like an extra in someone else's grand story. Now, stuck inside a body that will eventually kill him, Lucian has to figure out how to survive, dodging life-threatening situations left and right... Will he be able to make it through?

[Participant in the Royal Road Writhathon Challenge] NOTE: Please support in Royal Road. Every like or comments goes a long way. After a painful breakup, a 28-year-old literature teacher is unexpectedly transported to a mystical medieval world with his loyal college assistant. In a land where words have the power to shape reality, their literary knowledge becomes their greatest advantage. As they explore this strange new realm, they uncover a dangerous secret: the godlike creator has lost control, and now the characters are alive—and free to make their own choices. ______________________________________ What to expect: 1. Narrative Driven, the story may be a litrpg but the focus is less from the stat blocks and more to the characters and plot. Although, the stats are still very much significant.  2. Conflicts are real, this means that the main characters don't just get better and move on from past traumas right away. Improvement is gradual. If you don't like waiting, or feeling pain before having the strength to overcome it, this might not be for you (sorry, I've decided to take it to the unconventional direction) 3. There is a potential slow burn romance subplot and potential love interests depending on plot progression and audience interaction. But, I'd like to make it clear that this is not a harem. 4. A whole lot of literary allusions, if you enjoy popular and classic literature, you're in for a ride! 5. Explores the struggles of a modern day teacher in depth. This story is a quest for redemption,  6. The main characters are human, this means that they aren't the typical Mary Sue or Gary Stew kinda characters. Capable of making good decisions as much as they're capable of making mistakes. ______________________________________ Sidenote: It isn't excessively violent, in fact, it's the opposite. Just wanted to put the warning since some chapter has mild descriptions of violence. Erring on the side of caution would be best. ______________________________________ This journey is a quest for redemption, a confrontation of past regrets and the reimagination life and love in a world as fluid as ink on a page.

Upon awakening, finding myself in the world of a novel I once read – "The Birth of a Hero." This story chronicled the adventures of Choi Han, a high schooler ripped from Earth and deposited in this fantastical realm alongside countless other heroes-in-the-making. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those heroes. Instead, I landed smack dab in the middle of the story as a member of the despised Count's family. This family just so happened to rule the territory where Choi Han encounters his first village. The problem? That village gets obliterated by assassins, leaving Choi Han deeply traumatized. The even bigger problem? This idiotic, good-for-nothing character I'd become had no clue about the village's destruction and ends up provoking Choi Han. Needless to say, I got flattened. "...This," I groaned, "is a serious predicament." But hey, at least it's a new life, right? Here's hoping it's a bit less... destructive. ------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This is an unofficial translation of the novel "Lout of Count's Family."

I'm not aiming to come across as arrogant, but I do want to warn you that PATO will draw you in and refuse to let go. But first, you have to be willing to take the leap and read it! If you pride yourself on being a reader, then I challenge you to dive into PATO's world and see where it takes you. (Be warned, though: once you start, it's hard to escape!) My inspirations for PATO are rooted in the incredible works of Hajime Isayama, specifically Attack on Titan, as well as the captivating world of Japanese manga and anime. I have immense respect for Isayama's masterful storytelling and complex character development. Additionally, I draw inspiration from the unpredictable and often twisted nature of Tatsuki Fujimoto's works. So, I ask you: Are you ready to embrace the PATO experience?"

Ever pondered what chaos would ensue if Guts from Berserk stumbled into a "Slice of Life" anime? Or if Solo Leveling unfolded in a medieval landscape, complete with knights and courtly intrigue? How about the most divine irony: God reincarnated as a lowly slave? Welcome to a novel born from the depths of my most twisted and outrageous imaginings. It's a journey that spares no punches and offers little comfort to the faint-hearted or easily offended. But hey, if you're here for the ride, buckle up. To set expectations: I am not the literary offspring of J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter) or Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes). This tale may be somewhat unrefined, sprinkled with typos and moments of grammatical rebellion. Yet, what it lacks in polished finesse, it delivers in unrestrained absurdity and wild, unpredictable fun.

Reincarnation, fantasy, and magic, in my past life world there was no such thing yet I read some literary works for a spare time. There were even jokes that one's potential can even grow further if there's those factors around. Reincarnated in another world as one of the royals in a fantasy world in a country called The United Covenant of Chevalynthea, it indeed hit a jackpot as I started setting my plans and desire to motion while throwing in my contributions under the different alias, and enjoying the presence of magic. The best part? The country's classified component and all the living founders of the country approved it as per practice and tradition for a royalty to know the ways of the world itself, and to train and get stronger. While it remained that way ever since in that arrangement of training, I watched things unfolded with a merging of the worlds phenomena that had myself encounter new individuals and new information during my adventure out from it. "MwahahahahaI I know what you will say next as befitting of your stature and personality in this scene you and your lackeys created. I got many ways to deal with imbeciles such as yourself just as I had done to a certain laughing stock of a disbanded political party from Segliora." "It's not my fault your former fiancée enjoys my presence and my insights about the roles of royalty in a country and what should be their stage in the world itself, and magic. You got like what? Your engagement broke off and led in this situation. Speaking of which, your former country and world, you know the terms simp and generic male harem MC? If that is so, then you don't really get things here including her very own homeland in this changed magical fantasy world because this country is a constitutional monarchy state as such the monarch and the royal family must be strong and be there for their subjects as per the creed and the factor of this world having magic. In other words, you're an imbecile." "Another day of a member of nobility being a frog in the well at matters and discrimination because of this country's magic system. Allow this passing errant ehrenschertmagier to say hi." "Using religion to fatten your pockets and running away from the act? Mwahahaha! Let this errant ehrenschertmagier have you 'sing'." "Mwahahaha! Surprised? That's one of my personal creation spells." I ponder to myself, "Is it wrong for a reincarnated royalty in this fantasy world of magic to go incognito and seek out adventure? I guess not." P.S. Also published in Wattpad and Scribblehub.

The MC is genuinely a villain and you can expect him acting as a Lawful Evil. Sarcastic toned writing style with slow flowing worldbuilding where you will come to understand the world as the story goes. It's a medium paced story filled with heavy topics, politics, war and tight plot points, sandwiched with romance-comedy breathing spaces. One female lead only, no romantic drama. But caution, this fiction may contain more romance than you can handle. You can also expect classic high fantasy tropes, mixed with science fiction similar to modern isekai/gate/space styled story, there are both magic and mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, insane and manipulative characters, character developments and connections, Seinen magazine demographic, kingdom building and military, world invasion and apocalyptic tone, with legends, myth, world lore, and fairy tale spices. Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked wide open, revealing a portal. Out poured thousands upon thousands of spaceships from a so-called superior realm civilization, intent on invading this "lower" realm. But their grand plan? A spectacular flop. The invaders were stopped single-handedly by a man, King Burn of Soulnaught—the genius of the century and a notorious tyrant. Yeah, right. Despite the grand defeat, they didn’t pack up and leave. The crack remained, a celestial eyesore, while more spaceships continued to flood in. Divide et impera, indeed! Now, they'd turned to trading shiny tech trinkets with the locals, sweet-talking their way into hearts and minds. Colonization? It was practically knocking at the door. Burn, once again said, "Hell nah." War. All-out war! Because if anyone’s going to conquer the world, Burn would rather it be him—not some intergalactic interlopers. *** THAT WAS THE PLAN! Conquer the world under him, then the invaders, then whoever was behind them! But… The seventh loop started, and Burn returned back, awakened before the apocalyptic war started, cursing—“This stupid bi—witch!” His march came to a halt when a woman suddenly appeared before him and took her own life while shouting his name. Burn only blinked before realizing he had returned to the time before HIS CONQUER began. That witch of a woman had reset all his hard work! "Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" the witch asked. "It's not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" *** Apparently, the witch wasn't all that bad. “But aren’t you glad to see your worst enemy able to understand your point of view?” the woman smiled softly. “You should also be glad that I’m a rational and considerate type of person.” Even to her worst enemy. Resetting time for her own purposes? Apparently, she was including him in her considerations. Now Burn, ever the pragmatic, practical, and cold tyrant, found himself in a quandary. Was she a friend or a foe? Was she his worst curse or his greatest blessing? Well, let’s find out.

After being deceived by a scumbag and left penniless, Qian Duoduo decided to use her remaining savings to maintain a contract marriage with a young and handsome husband. So, she set her sights on Chen Shu, who couldn't even afford a train ticket. Firstly, he looked handsome, which would let her maintain her reputation when she took him out. Secondly, he was so poor that he would be easy to support. Gathering her courage, she said to him, "Hi, do you remember when we were on the same train, and I paid 600 yuan for you?" The man's cool eyes remained calm as if he had no emotions before replying, "I remember." "I urgently need to get married. Will you marry me?" The man glanced at her coldly. Just when Qian Duoduo thought she must be crazy to propose to a man she had only met once, he replied, "Okay." But as the days went by, she gradually realized that something was off about this contract husband. The fake diamond ring she used to show off turned out to be a one-of-a-kind luxury brand ring that could only be custom-made once in a lifetime. The wedding car they used was a luxury car she had only seen at car exhibitions. Even the furniture he claimed to have bought from the second-hand market was made from precious golden silk and wood. One day, she saw a photo of the wealthiest man in their city being interviewed by a certain magazine, and the man casually sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, discussing the electricity and water bills for the month, was... her husband!
