Never Enough Otaku

Cameraman Never Dies

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

Otaku Grind: Rise of the Reluctant Hero

Kai, an unmotivated Otaku, spends his days and nights lost in the world of anime, barely connecting with reality. His latest obsession, Eldren’s Wrath, is a dark fantasy series that explores themes of power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world of fearsome creatures and relentless warriors. One fateful night, he dies unexpectedly while halfway through the series, only to awaken in its universe—reincarnated as a lowly, unremarkable NPC merchant in a rugged, hostile village on the outskirts of civilization. It doesn’t take long for Kai to realize he’s hopelessly out of place. Surrounded by adventurers, knights, and monsters straight from Eldren’s Wrath, he knows his days are numbered unless he finds a way to gain strength quickly. Just when despair sets in, a mysterious System activates, presenting him with a harsh ultimatum: level up every day or face relentless penalties. The penalties range from losing his meager resources to physical punishments, with each missed requirement bringing him closer to a permanent death. Reluctantly forced into grueling training regimens, Kai must now engage in daily quests, battle deadly creatures, and learn combat techniques. As he grows, he discovers that the System tracks his achievements through "Protagonist Points," hinting that if he collects enough, he may unlock the rare “Protagonist Rank.” Reaching this rank is the key to returning to his original world, but it requires him to embrace challenges worthy of a hero. Twist: Every action Kai takes towards becoming a hero brings him closer to the fate of the series’ true protagonist, with whom he shares a mysterious connection. To truly earn his “Protagonist Rank,” Kai must not only surpass the original hero of Eldren’s Wrath but also unravel a prophecy that foresees a dark force linked to his past life. As his abilities grow, so do his responsibilities, ultimately pushing Kai to confront his deepest fears, forge alliances, and embrace his role in a world he once dismissed as fantasy. Now, his lazy days are behind him as he battles for survival, allies, and the ultimate prize: a way back home. But will he still want to return when the time comes, or will he find a reason to stay in this world he once admired from afar?
