WSA 2025 participant in the New trope (please try it): Micheal von Shelb, the lazy yet brilliant Duke's son, discovers he’s a disposable side character in a series of romantic dramas where the authors gleefully kill off his family and even his unborn kids. Unwilling to accept his footnote status, Micheal sets out to rewrite his destiny. Armed with his brain, wit, and slightly impractical inventions like man-bras, he vows to save his wife, Magda, restore their lives, and revolutionize the Empire. But fate's got other plans. Between dodging political plots, equipping beastmen, and launching horseless carriages, Micheal's quiet life dream spirals into chaos. As the multiverse meddles, Micheal proves that even a side character can upstage the main plot, one sassy retort at a time.

The sun was setting over the bustling streets of New York City, casting a warm orange glow over the crowded sidewalks. Amidst the chaos, two strangers crossed paths in a fleeting moment that would change the course of their lives forever. Samantha, a bright-eyed and ambitious young woman, was rushing to meet a friend for dinner. Her heels clicked against the pavement as she dodged pedestrians and hailed a taxi. Jude, a charming and introspective artist, stood on the corner, lost in thought. His eyes were fixed on a nearby street performer, mesmerized by the beauty of the music. As Samantha rushed past, her purse slipped from her shoulder, spilling its contents onto the sidewalk. Jude, caught off guard, instinctively reached out to help. Their hands touched, and a spark of electricity ran through both of them. They exchanged a brief, shy smile before Samantha hurried away, leaving Jude wondering if he would ever see her again. Little did they know, their lives were about to become forever intertwined.

In a world stripped of its colors by the ravages of war, 19-year-old Jean and his 10-year-old sister Damichii find themselves standing amidst the ruins of their once vibrant lives. Their family is gone, their home obliterated, and the memories of peace fading into a void. With nothing but each other, they embark on a harrowing journey across a desolate, war-torn land, searching for safety, hope, and a place to belong. As Jean shoulders the burden of protecting his sister, Damichii’s childlike resilience offers a fragile spark of light in their bleak reality. Together, they navigate treacherous landscapes, dodge the shadows of conflict, and face the haunting emptiness of loss. Each step forward is a test of their humanity, forcing them to question if they can ever reclaim a world worth living in—or if their future will remain as blank as the shattered walls around them. "Blank" is a poignant tale of survival, love, and the unyielding bond between siblings, set against the stark backdrop of a world where everything has been erased except the will to endure.

Guys here is my pitch..... In the sprawling world of fantasy, we’ve often been treated to tales of heroes reincarnated with divine blessings, legendary powers, or cheat-like abilities, thrust into magical lands as shining saviors—or chaotic terrors. But what happens when the very concept of reincarnation becomes a curse? When the divine boon is a big fat joke, and the "cheat system" doesn’t quite… cheat? Enter John, the unluckiest reincarnate. Blessed by a god and thrust into a fantasy world, he dreams of glory, power, and adventure—only to wake up as a normal, utterly powerless bird. Not a mythical phoenix, not an ancient thunder eagle. Just… a bird. To make matters worse, this world is no ordinary realm. It's a land scarred by the devastating legacies of past isekai’d heroes and villains, whose reckless exploits piled skeletons into mountains and turned their cheats into harbingers of chaos. Fed up with these unruly intruders, the ancients of the realm banded together to create a world-shaking seal: all reincarnated souls are trapped in the bodies of harmless animals, confined to isolated sanctuaries that function more like fantasy zoos. Here’s the twist: this isn’t mercy. It’s a resource grab. The powerful beast tamers of this realm have turned these reincarnated souls into exotic pets, prized for their cheat-like potential. John finds himself at the bottom of the food chain in every sense. His cheat doesn’t work. His human form is gone. And his world is filled with predatory cultivators who see him as either a snack or a tool. But John isn’t one to give up so easily. What starts as despair quickly turns into cunning survival. With wings and wit as his only tools, John must navigate layers of misfortune, dodge fate’s sharp talons, and cheat his way through a world determined to keep him grounded. Get ready to join John on a wildly unconventional journey—one where reincarnation isn’t a ticket to greatness, but a death sentence he’s determined to rewrite. His story is one of humor, wit, and persistence, as he explores a world where he is the joke and his survival is the punchline. Main tags: reincarnation/isekai, beast taming cultivation system, comedy, action, adventure. Of course No-harem!

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of 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 heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! 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, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed 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 at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now 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, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.

Jim was an undeniably ordinary boy. He was neither athletic nor particularly skilled at anything, and while he wasn't ugly, he certainly wasn't stunning either. In every conceivable way, he was unremarkable. Yet, he embraced this reality without hesitation; he was entirely comfortable in his skin. Indifference defined his attitude toward the world around him, including his existence. The popularity and social status dynamics held no sway over him; he didn’t care. His primary desire was to unwind and enjoy life. However, fate dealt him a powerful blow—he acquired an ability that would significantly impact the one thing he cherished most. True curses always come disguised as gifts, and Jim was about to discover that the hard way.

"Reclaimers" 10 years ago, the world fell. The red moon rose, shattering the earth and unleashing monstrous beings known as Reclaimers from its depths. Cities crumbled, humanity’s weapons proved futile, and survivors were forced into hiding. The once-dominant species became prey.

But the red moon’s secrets run deeper than anyone knows, and the siblings’ survival will force them to confront not only the monsters outside but the ones within. Will humanity rise from its ruins, or has the Fall only just begun?

As the streets fill with the undead, Uma and Edward, tough and smart, must navigate their way through a city on the brink of collapse, joined by a group of survivors in search of their loved ones.

It’s a fight for their humanity against corrupt forces, dangerous alliances, and an army of the undead. But there’s more to the outbreak than meets the eye. Rumours spread that the virus wasn’t just an accident, and the twins soon find out that the plague was made possible with the help of a foreign hand. As the world falls apart around them, Uma and Edward must face a bitter truth: the real monsters aren’t always the ones that hunger for flesh.

One quiet night, Luke Lorence awoke in terror to find his room filled with golden strings, eerily suspended above him. Instinctively, he dodged their touch, convinced they were part of a sinister attempt to control him. As he delved deeper into the mystery of the strings, he discovered that the city he lived in concealed a dark secret, and the people he thought he knew were not who they appeared to be. The truth is... the city is nothing but a stage—a play—a Marionette City!

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel. [The Birth of a Hero]. [The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent. I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located. The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins. The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp. “…This is going to be a problem.” I feel like something serious has happened to me. But it was worth trying to make this my new life. DISCLAIMER: I am neither the author nor translator of the story. Please support author on official site. Translation credit: Eatapplepies

Can a squishy blob survive being a ruler of the demon race, or will he accidentally become the most laid-back Demon King in history? Get ready for a laugh-out-loud journey full of crazy battles, wacky transformations, and one very confused black blob! Note: 1. Slow-paced story. 2. There is no female lead in this book.

In a dark alley, obscured from the prying eyes of people, the muffled grunts of a shadowy figure beaten to a pulp were barely visible. Four hooded figures were standing around the bloody figure on the ground as he looked up in hate. Kraign struggled to his feet, his face mangled beyond recognition. "All of you idiots shall pay. THE WORLD WILL BURN!! "Boss, I think he's gone mad, we should leave", one of the hooded figures said on a low voice. "Was thinking the same thing", the shortest hooded figure replied, retreating with his crew, leaving the boy in the ground, barely breathing. As death drew near, things all went wrong.

When Su Shu’s father went bankrupt, the once-pampered heiress was suddenly cast into hell. Her fiancé took the opportunity to betray her, immediately turning around to link arms with his “true love.” They flung the annulment papers in her face: “Your dad’s going to prison. Our family has no intention of marrying the daughter of a criminal.” Such is the fickleness of human relationships, cold and cruel. With an expression of icy calm, Su Shu said, “We can call off the engagement—just pay back the eighty million you owe first.” Her fiancé’s family panicked and kicked her out. They wanted to dodge their debt? But Su Shu is no fragile girl who has never had to lift a finger. Her father always groomed her to be his successor.

Kairo Solis was your average broke college dropout—well, if “average” includes accidentally blowing up his microwave with raw energy while trying to make instant ramen. Turns out, he’s got this thing called Aeterna inside him, a mystical energy that can either unlock his infinite potential or turn him into a human firecracker. No big deal. Enter Zephyr Ionis, a shady mentor who appears out of thin air and starts spouting fortune cookie wisdom like, “Your greatest enemy is yourself,” while stealing Kairo’s last slice of pizza. Armed with cryptic advice, zero patience, and a stick he keeps whacking Kairo with during training, Zephyr sets Kairo on the path to becoming a Synchros master. But mastering Aeterna isn’t as easy as meditating and humming "om." For one, Kairo’s got to juggle protecting his little sister, Lina (who thinks Aeterna is just a fancy word for him being a dork), dodging the Shadowed Council (a group of edgy villains who seem to shop exclusively at Hot Topic), and confronting Lucan Drayke—a guy so dramatic he makes villains from soap operas look subtle. Between epic battles that could level city blocks and arguments over who ate the last energy bar, Kairo learns that true strength isn’t about punching harder—it’s about harmonizing with his inner self. And maybe, just maybe, it’s about not accidentally setting his pants on fire when trying out a new ability. Will Kairo save the world? Will he unlock the mysteries of Aeterna? Or will he spend the rest of his life arguing with Zephyr over whether pineapple belongs on pizza? One thing’s for sure: the universe is in for an explosive ride, and Kairo is about to prove that sometimes, the best way to eclipse boundaries is with a little humor and a lot of heart.

After being unfairly judged in a military trial for the death of a corrupt officer—an indirect outcome of a sanctioned duel—Calidum Lupus, a beast man with the appearance of a white wolf, dodged the death penalty with the help of his former superior but was ultimately dismissed from the Army despite having substantial evidence and credible witnesses. Without many skills besides soldiering, and perhaps with a stroke of luck, he stumbled into helping Gideon Rek, a famous mercenary, during one of his missions and ended up joining his group, the Color Mercenaries, as an individual branch member, handling simple odd jobs. Grateful for the opportunity, Calidum settled into a quieter life, guarding caravans or making deliveries, leaving his military days behind. But his past kept popping up a few years later—former comrades urging his return to the army after a much-needed structural reform and troublesome old adversaries seeking rematches and payback. Resolute in his decision to sever ties with his previous life, Calidum consistently declined these offers with grace. Yet, when the daughter of the deceased high-ranking officer—whom Calidum allegedly killed—enters his life in distress, he is compelled to rescue her. Perhaps a cruel twist of fate, she falls for him hard despite the awareness of their intertwined histories. And just when he thought it couldn't get weirder, a former subordinate who had been persistently pushing for his return to the army discovers the daughter's affections and, in another sudden twist, professes her own love for him. Faced with the two’s unrelenting and overwhelming affection, Calidum must now navigate a wild journey of love, loyalty, and self-discovery amidst the shadows of his past in this tale of heart-warming romance and chaotic comedy.
