"Villain? Me? Nah—I’m just a guy who refuses to die for someone else’s story." Noah D. Romero was born with nothing. No talent, no strength—just a noble name that meant little in a world ruled by power. Then he found the Book of Sin. And in its pages, he read his fate. Betrayed. Hunted. Killed. The author had already written his death. Too bad. If fate wanted him gone, it should’ve never let him see the script— ***

They Weren’t Just Hot Aliens—They Were Beast Men Too. And Now? The Universe Was Breaking Apart. ——————————————————— Hot Alien Lords. An Apocalypse. Strange Universes. A Glitching Storyline. Secrets, Betrayal, and a Fight for Survival. ——————————————————— She was just an overworked, underpaid author who fell asleep mid-chapter—only to wake up as a maid in her own novel. The bad news? She was trapped in the castle of three devastatingly attractive alien lords, brothers whose power could crush her in an instant. The worse news? In a world where females were plain at best, she’d somehow become the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous woman alive. Now, every jealous (and horrifyingly ugly) female wanted her dead, and the lords? They wouldn’t stop looking at her like she was their next meal. Her insider knowledge of the plot should’ve been her golden ticket, but the story? It was glitching. She’d written them as hot aliens who could transform into beasts—snakes, lions, and jaguars, to be exact. But seeing it firsthand? Terrifying. Their movements blurred the line between man and monster, predatory gazes locking onto her with an intensity she never typed into existence. Was this how they’d always been? Or was the world twisting into something else? Then came the real horror. An apocalyptic infection was spreading beyond the castle walls. People were mutating, becoming something... inhuman. The world itself was fracturing, opening doors to unknown universes that were never part of her original draft. One brother craved her like an obsession. Another wanted to break her. And the third? He carried a secret that could destroy everything. Thalina thought the lords would be the only males she’d have to mate with. Now? She wasn’t so sure. Between a castle full of murderous women, the dangerous desire of three alien beastmen, and a storyline spiraling out of her control, survival wasn’t just a goal anymore—it was the only thing keeping her from becoming another twisted piece of the story. Can she escape her own creation, or is she fated to die in a world she never meant to live in?

Kim Lee, an avid web-novel reader, suddenly awakens in an unfamiliar world—one filled with magic, danger, and hidden secrets. Trapped in a realm where fiction becomes reality, he must navigate treacherous landscapes, unravel ancient mysteries, and defy fate itself to survive. But as he uncovers the truth behind his existence in this world, he realizes he may not just be a visitor—he might be the key to something far greater.

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter. Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed? Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money. Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

"I woke up in a fantasy world… only to realize it’s the unfinished novel I wrote, filled with plot holes, overpowered villains, and side characters I never developed. Worse? The protagonist I wrote is out to kill me. Now, I must end my own terrible writing by fixing the story, before it destroys me..." This is the story of Char, the author, as he suddenly enters his own novel, and realizes something - or someone - has been filling in the gaps left in his bad writing. Now, he's nothing more than an extra, unless he can find a way to escape the nightmare of his new reality. [Disclaimer: You might get addicted reading this story.]

For eons, the multiverse has known an unnatural peace. Chaos, destruction, and the cycle of new beginnings have all but ceased—because the god who embodies them, Larry, has been erased. Well, not erased, but vanished. Tricked by the god Faceless, Larry had his name and identity stolen, forever forgotten by the other gods who once feared and knew him, which all but reduced him to an anomaly—an undefined being unrecognized by both mortals and gods. Larry has been forced into hiding at the edge of the multiverse, deep within the Great Darkness from which all the primordials emerged at the beginning of time, for if he is found, he will be erased, as he is no longer something that should exist. But survival is not enough. To reclaim his name and identity, Larry must earn the favor of the Goddess of Literature, the only deity with the influence to barter a debt with the Goddess of Faces, the one being capable of undoing Faceless's curse. The Goddess of Literature has grown tired of being cast and viewed as worthless, and because they both want something from each other, he figures that to stay alive, he must craft a story so powerful that it forces the gods and mortals alike to acknowledge him once more. Yet many deities fear the arrival of Larry, who threatens the balance within the multiverse that they had so carefully crafted after the God of Destruction and Chaos had all but vanished. As forgotten gods stir, eldritch horrors shift in the void, and the balance of existence teeters on the edge, Larry must decide two things. Is he simply trying to regain what was stolen from him, or is he just a selfish bastard who's trying to live?

Since Dungeons began appearing around the world, things have changed. They are every single being on the planet, from the plants to the animals to the humans. The world has evolved, letting dungeons alter the genetics of humans, giving some of them abilities and powers that no ordinary person would have. These abilities were called magic, and the ability to use them or even control them was called having mana. Almost 80% of the world’s population has gotten this ability. When a person who awakens their magic is seen, he or she will be taken for evaluation. To see their strength, there were strong and dangerous warriors who had to be used to keep the dungeon at bay and make sure that nothing happened to the world. In the midst of all this chaos, Darius Winters, a typical loser trying to make sure he would make enough money to pay for his sister's treatment joins a guild on a raid. Where his life is changed, Darius gains a powerful system and he is able to get stronger than he was, the system makes him potentially the strongest warrior in the city. But he chooses to hide from the spotlight and take care of his sister. But how long can he keep up with that?

You can have a chat with me on discord. https://discord.gg/fTZRHuY4mX Mark Eisner is the greatest example of a failure. Unable to get his dream job, he resorts to writing a story, a story close to his heart, a story in which he expressed himself to the fullest. It was the delusional universe he created for himself. Unable to grasp the attention of readers, his book was deemed a failure as well. Heartbroken after suffering his crushing fate, Mark commits suicide, uttering his last words; proclaiming the end of his story. But was this the end of his story? Hell Nah! He is far from being dead. He finds himself, astonishingly, still possessing his consciousness, even though his existence is formless. What he then sees is unbelievable. The hero he created, the hero "he only" loved, the hero that reflected himself... His own protagonist. Reincarnated as the system of the hero of his own novel, Mark undergoes an epic journey with his unanticipated creation, helping him throughout, knowing all about his predicaments. There are a few rules to him - 1. RELAY ONLY REQUIRED MESSAGE TO THE PLAYER 2. DROP DESIGNATED REWARDS 3. EXPEL THE PLAYER IF PLAUSIBILITY REACHES LIMITS But.... Is that all? Does he really thinks events will take place just as he layed them? . . . Is he really that Omniscient ? Is he the only one.... . . .

Yuto Kisaragi was once an aspiring author who poured years of his life into writing Eclipsing Fate, a web novel he never finished. But after countless nights of struggle and obscurity, he abandoned his work—leaving its characters and world incomplete. One night, he receives a strange notification: [Your story, Eclipsing Fate, has begun its final chapter.] Before he can react, reality twists, and he awakens inside the very world he created. But something is wrong. The protagonist is missing. The characters are acting unpredictably. And the story is moving forward without him as the author. Branded as a nameless background character, Yuto quickly discovers a hidden ability: [Skill Unlocked: Author’s Perspective] • Can perceive the world as a written narrative. • Can glimpse “drafts” of alternate possibilities. • Can edit minor details at a cost. To escape this unraveling reality, Yuto must navigate his own unfinished story, uncover the mystery behind the missing protagonist, and reclaim his role as the true author. But as his characters begin to question their existence and seek to defy their fates, Yuto is forced to confront an impossible question: Is it his right to control their destinies… or should he let them rewrite their own fate?

Lyle Vance was once an author, the mastermind behind a classic hero’s journey—a tale of valor, prophecy, and the destined battle against the Demon King. But when he wakes up inside his own novel, not as the hero, nor the villain, but as a nameless extra, his carefully crafted world becomes his new reality. Armed with two powerful cheats—his knowledge of the future and a mysterious book that turns written words into reality—Lyle treads carefully. But there’s a catch: using the book drains an absurd amount of mana, making even the smallest change a costly gamble. Choosing to remain hidden, he dons the mask of a fool—an unremarkable background character who no one would suspect. While the hero embarks on his fated journey, Lyle sets his own plans in motion, gathering wealth, strength, and influence from the shadows. His goal is simple: ensure the Demon King’s defeat so he can retire in peace. But as he manipulates the world from behind the scenes, fate proves to be more unpredictable than even an author could foresee…

Akira Tsukihara was a romance author who despised love. Though she wrote best-selling novels filled with idealistic romance, she harbored nothing but contempt for the genre and the readers who adored it. Love, in her eyes, was a lie—an illusion that blinded people from the true forces of the world: power, betrayal, and ambition. One night, in a fit of frustration, she cursed love itself... and woke up trapped inside one of her own stories. Reborn as Aira, a nameless peasant girl in the Kingdom of Seraphis—a world she had meticulously crafted—Akira quickly realizes that reincarnation isn’t the fantasy dream she had written about. She isn’t a noble, a princess, or a heroine blessed with beauty and power. She is a nobody. A commoner, struggling to survive in the harsh realities of the medieval world she had once designed as a mere backdrop for her grand romances. As Aira, she faces starvation, endless labor, and the crushing weight of insignificance. But Akira was never one to accept fate. If she couldn’t escape this world, she would rewrite the story on her own terms. She would carve her name into history—not as the lovestruck heroine of a cliché romance, but as the mastermind who would bend the world to her will. In a land ruled by noble bloodlines and political schemes, where the romance tropes she once loathed play out before her eyes, Aira sets her sights on one goal: destroying the very ideals of love that had imprisoned her in this wretched world. Even if it means becoming the villain of her own story.
