"When you think everything is going well, the world will flip you the middle finger." __ A successful author. After living an ideal life ... a loving family, amazing friends, a stable job, and a bestselling novel that made his name known across the world .. he suddenly finds himself reincarnated inside his own story, written by his very hands. And worst of all... inside the body of the weakest villain ... Frey. A third-rate villain doomed to die in the earliest chapters. A worthless scumbag with trash talent ... hated by every other character in the story, with no redemption in sight. But he refuses that fate. He rejects the entire world. This author doesn't need the cliché of a second chance — he already lived the life he always wanted. "Spare me the second chance nonsense. One chance was enough. I’m the one who created this world… and I’ll be the one to destroy it if I have to. I will return — to my world… my family… my life. No matter the cost." Driven by a burning desire to return home, Frey begins his journey through a merciless world, one where his fate has already been written by godlike beings. And as if the world hadn’t played enough cruel tricks on him, it granted him a strange system .. one that toyed with him endlessly. Complete knowledge of every event in the novel, and the ability to create any talent or power he wished. They seemed like overwhelming gifts... but were they truly? how far can he go… and what will become of the world he once created? ... ... discord: https://discord.gg/uNrXRgS3Xb

[From the Author of Author's POV...] Emotions are like a drug to us. The more we experience them, the more we become addicted. The hardest part is not letting them consume us. But it's already too late for me. I've already been swallowed whole. *** I had no knowledge of the game. I was meant to have died. And yet, I found myself in this situation. A game I had never played before. A character I was unfamiliar with, and... A world that seemed to want to swallow me whole with every move I made. What the hell is going on? ...and who am I? *** Discord : https://discord.gg/PEbN7fc2ww

O POV do Autor A pessoa em torno da qual o mundo gira. A pessoa que derrota todos os seus oponentes e, por fim, conquista a bela garota. A única existência que todos os vilões temem. Esse é o protagonista. E quanto a mim? Como um autor fracassado que teve apenas um sucesso em toda sua carreira, eu reencarnei em meu último romance. "É isso" Pensei, enquanto apertava firmemente meu punho. Eu acabei de reencarnar no meu próprio romance? É aqui que eu reencarno em um romance e me torno o protagonista? Não. Infelizmente não é esse tipo de romance, já que reencarnei como um personagem secundário. O mundo não gira em torno de mim. As garotas não vêm em bando na minha direção. Os itens trapaceiros não vêm até mim. "Ufa" Deixei escapar um suspiro de alívio. "Graças a Deus não sou o protagonista" Gritei alegremente enquanto lágrimas escorriam pelo meu rosto. Espera, você está curioso para saber por que não quero ser o protagonista? Esqueci de mencionar a coisa mais importante quando estava descrevendo um protagonista. Isso é... Eles são ímãs de calamidades. Eu acabei de morrer. Se aprendi algo com isso, é que realmente não é uma experiência agradável. Se possível, me deixe viver uma vida longa e estável. Obrigado, quem quer que tenha me feito reencarnar. Eu mais tarde me arrependeria dessas palavras...

[Warning!!! Contains Explicit Scenes, extreme gore, heart-pounding fight scenes, and an extremely combat loving MC!] Two millennials ago, Earth underwent an earth-shattering change. The gods were slaughtered by an unknown terrifying existence, and their potent blood spilled through the entire solar system, corrupting all life on various planets along with Earth. As a last resort, the gods created the Galactic Tower. Their inheritances, strength, and relics were placed as rewards for those who cleared each floor, proving themselves worthy. … Lucian Morningster, the golden boy of the city. He had a perfect life, had the prettiest girl, a good best friend and a very bright future. However, everything changed when he awakened an F-rank talent instead of the expected S-rank talent. “It must be a mistake?” “See? I told you he would awaken a trash talent.” “All that potential, for an F-ranker?” His girlfriend who awakened a C-rank talent, “What a waste, Lucian. My father took you in for nothing!” His best-friend who awakened an A-rank talent, “You know, seeing you so weak and vulnerable is kind of refreshing. She always hated your endless confidence, so do I. It’s no wonder she comes to me after being done with you.” Lucian, who was respected and envied now turned to a joke to the entire school and town. “Boom!” Those who he called friends attacked him, leaving him for dead in the Galactic Tower. … [Ding!] [Congratulations! 100,000x Reroll has been triggered!] [Self Regeneration (F-Rank) has evolved into Extreme Ungodly Regeneration (SSS-Rank)!] ──────────────────────── [Ungodly Regeneration] ▪ Class Rank: SSS ▪ Class Perk: — +∞% Vitality | x300% Mana (SSS) ▪ Class Skills: ➤ (SSS) Ungodly Regeneration: Instantly regenerates from any injury.

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between annoyance and disappointment. "You can’t outsmart Scrients! They’re the most intelligent beings across the two realms!" "You’re right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I’m not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait! You can’t. I killed them all." --- My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become my reality? “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could. But I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR

Discord:https://discord.gg/VVhNsRjm "Who would have thought that one ordinary review could instantly fuck your life? Definitely not me" ****** Luke was your average teenage boy—with an unhealthy obsession for light novels. After finishing a new read titled “The Hero’s Obsessed Harem,” he jumped online to post a review. His biggest issue? The so-called “hero” kept stealing other men’s love interests, and somehow, the story praised him for it. Right after posting the review, he got an odd reply from the author: “You think my book is flawed? I’ll make you regret that.” Luke brushed it off as a salty writer who couldn’t handle criticism—until everything went dark. The next time he opened his eyes, he was in the body of Riven Von Grave, the fourth son of the low-ranking Grave baron family—an irrelevant extra in The Hero’s Obsessed Harem. Riven was a forgotten character, engaged to three duke’s daughters since childhood, only for all three to abandon him for the so-called hero. And to make matters worse, he was fated to die in a war against demons—utterly forgotten. But Luke isn’t having any of it. Screw fate. Screw the plot. And most of all, screw the author who threw him into this mess. Armed with a mysterious system and pure spite, Riven is going to rewrite his destiny, and win back his fiancées as well. But with every change Riven makes, he changes the story, and pulls a calamity bigger than the demons toward them. What will he do when he realizes the impending doom, will he be able to fix his own mistakes?

Arsh: The King, of a fallen world After a century of uneasy peace, the ancient balance between the human realm and the Netherworld begins to collapse. At the heart of this collapse lies a forbidden truth: the world is a shared realm between two ancient rulers—one human, one demonic—both born from the same cosmic essence. These two lords, one rising in the form of Arsh, a tactician king enhanced by AI and human resilience, and the other awakening through Rose, his half-demon sister and the chosen vessel of the Demon Lord, are fated to determine the future of both worlds. With humanity caught in fear and politics, and the demon world uniting under chaotic sin-commanders like Greed and Gluttony, the final war is not just about survival—but about deciding which reality deserves to exist.

Dante, an overworked game developer at Doomsday Games, has spent two years of his life debugging and perfecting MMORPGs. What started as a dream job has become a nightmare of endless hours, sleeping in the office, and being treated like a corporate puppet. While testing the company's latest game, "Empire Online" - based on a popular web novel - exhaustion finally overtakes him and he collapses at his desk. When Dante wakes up, he's no longer in his cramped office. Instead, he finds himself in a luxurious bedroom, trapped inside the body of thirteen-year-old Lux d'Branmere - the game's most hated villain character. Lux is the bastard son of a Marquis, branded as a "failed genius" and cursed with multiple debilitating traits. In the original game, he was designed to be nothing more than a stepping stone for the protagonist - a character everyone was meant to despise and defeat. But now Dante is living as Lux, with all of his curses, his terrible reputation, and his doomed fate. Armed with his knowledge of the game's storyline and mechanics, Dante must navigate this dangerous new reality. He knows exactly what's supposed to happen to Lux d'Branmere - and it's not good. The question is: can someone rewrite their own story when they're trapped playing the villain? Or is Dante doomed to follow the same path that leads to Lux's downfall?

A young man with a bright future ahead of him gets run over by a talking train, and is sent into a mystical, fantasy world filled to the centimeter with anything a man can think of. Uniquely interesting individuals to meet, grand locations to explore, and strange societies, with underlying mysteries awaiting to be explored. However... a good protagonist is always aided by an equally noteworthy, and possibly bizarre, cast of acquaintances. *** Tags: [Realism], [Isekai], [Cynical], [Dark], and [Slow-paced] (Or so I've been told). Disclaimers: 1. In spite of what Randall (the MC) says at the start, it is NOT a harem. 2. I will also shift POVs (and provide a clarification) whenever I consider it's worth it. However, the spotlight will be on the MC most of the time. 3. The MC starts off overpowered, but that will change after Chapter 40. I don't really like OP MCs too much. 4. Please read the first 3 chapters to decide whether it's worth reading. Finally, this is also my first time publishing a novel, so I hope it's not too bad. (PS: Cover is AI made.) PSS: Currently in hiatus (didn't know how to put it)
