Willow Astor is, or at least was, a completely normal guy. That is, until he went in a forest, started a fire, and ended up transmigrating. In a bl novel. It would've been somewhat alright if that certain novel didn't have a fujoshi narcissist sister who transmigrated with him, an obviously smitten male lead, over the top characters and the things his sister made him do 'for the sake of the plot'! Can a straight guy survive in a place where every single person is a stereotypical bl character? Or would he be bent and forced to give in to became a typical bottom?

A new world. A new reality. Something straight out of the novel huh? Well then, let's see what this new world have to offer? Shall i be a good guy?..... Meh. Lets just play it my way. Lets be a freaking villian.

My family is full of A-Holes! Ridiculously powerful A-Holes who have views of the world so twisted that they could literally burn all of the known world to the ground. I am the strongest of them all, yet... I'm tired of it all. That’s why I left. Being stuck with those same people for years got really bland. I needed a breath of fresh air, away from the Narcissism, Hedonism, Sadism, Masochism, and general Gotham asylum vibes that each one of them exuded like some kind of messed up perfume. Six deranged family members hanging on your back all the time gets really annoying after a while. Especially when you are just as insane as they are. Unfortunately, after five long years of bliss, I am being pulled back in. Family Drama to the rescue. A threat that can't be punched away for very long has arrived at our doorstep and I'm forced to return to help solve it. Yippee... --- Free Chapters will also be available on Royal Road under the name Shade Arjuun. --- For those interested in discussing about this novel and several of my other works...

When ruthless judge and executioner Kian Mathis is betrayed and left to die by his partner, he believes his life is over. But instead of fading into darkness, he awakens in a strange, endless void and is offered a second chance—a chance to be reborn in a world that desperately needs someone like him. Kian is transported to Gotham City in the DC Universe, a place teeming with corruption, masked heroes, and villains who wield powers beyond imagination. Unlike the heroes who walk the fine line between justice and mercy, Kian is given a singular purpose: to be the judge this world lacks. Granted powers that amplify his physical and mental prowess, he gains the ability to see into the hearts of others, delivering his brand of justice without restraint. As he carves a path through Gotham’s underbelly, Kian finds himself crossing paths with both allies and enemies—from Batman, whose strict moral code clashes with Kian’s lethal methods, to crime lords and supervillains who recognize in him a new and unpredictable force. While some see him as a dangerous vigilante, others recognize him as an executioner willing to do what others won’t. But in a world where power and corruption are in constant battle, Kian must decide how far he’s willing to go. His past life taught him that survival means ruthless pragmatism, but the stakes in Gotham are higher than ever, and he begins to question whether his role as judge will consume him or force him to redefine his sense of justice. Judge of Shadows is a dark, gripping tale that follows a man from another world who becomes a merciless enforcer in the chaotic heart of Gotham. Faced with heroes who fear his methods and criminals who dread his wrath, Kian must balance his mission against the shadows threatening to engulf him and decide what kind of judge Gotham truly needs.

Astra was a gay man. A solid top, a seme, the real deal. Unfortunately, he transmigrated into a BG harem novel. The Journey was a popular web novel based on an intergalactic setting. The whole book was filled with the straight romance between one male lead and his harem of beauties. The male lead of the novel was actually over 30 years old, but after consuming a secret medicine his body regressed back to that of a teenager. The male lead was the perfect mix of shy and mature, passionate and innocent — all at the same time. No other person could unify all those conflicting traits as well as the male lead did. Needless to say, the male lead was exactly Astra’s type. If only Astra could, then he would. But the author had told Astra: There’s no way for you to un-transmigrate yourself, this is a harem novel, the world setting doesn’t even have ‘gay’ in its vocabulary and on top of that, you have to remain in character at all times. And what kind of character was this Astra from the book? Nicknamed ‘Sunny’, known for being sweet but kind of dumb, the male lead’s best buddy, a loyal little underling for the mighty male lead. And worst of all – straight as they come. And so, every time he witnessed the male lead’s domineering aura while wiping out the bad guys, Astra would pay his due respects and act along with the rest of the crowd: “You’re so awesome!” But in his head, Astra would definitely be thinking: Damn this slutty little thing, everytime he cooks he’s gotta wear that apron and tie it so tight around his tiny waist. A waist that was small enough for Astra to wrap his hands around. … For a gay man, Astra has always had pretty good luck with the ladies. In a bar: Wen (ML) watched as a woman with heavy makeup flirted with his best buddy. His face darkened as the violent storm of emotions in his heart threatened to burst forth. For a moment, Wen wondered if his controlling and possessive instincts were getting a little out of control. It took awhile for him to realize that he was actually jealous of that woman. But Astra, the one who turned him so weird in the first place, was actually an idiot who didn’t understand a thing — how could the idiot Astra know of the effect he had on Wen? ______________________________ Tags (from original author): #After making the male lead gay I’m pretending that I’m straight and that nothing happened between us# #seme’s POV# #seme likes to leave uke hanging# #possessive lover# #not a rebirth novel_male lead’s body became biologically younger# ----##---- PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS NOT MY STORY!

Destiny unfolds before me as two straight paths diverge. One leads to a palace and city consumed by flames, where kingdoms are overthrown, the earth is scarred with suffering, and living beings endure torment in eternal darkness.

"I used to think that a girl who seemed straight out of a manga would never have anything to do with me. I assumed that romance was something that would never come my way. I believed that my life would pass by in this ordinary manner. Until I met them, though, it wasn’t exactly a stroke of luck. The women around me started looking at me differently, their eyes filled with possessiveness, yandere tendencies, and domineering affection. But I don’t see it as a big deal; after all, I’m the kind of person who’s absolutely certain that such things will never happen to me.” —— A Dumb Man, Satoru.
