Short summary - A NSFW game addict, seeking a peaceful retirement, is reincarnated into one of the games, where the system forces yandere girls onto him. For some very strange reasons, I seem to be enjoying the Netori genre, but that was in a game.    I was never proud of it, but it had a strange kick to it, but like I said, that was in a game. Although I despise the antagonists for constantly stealing the MC's harem, what frustrates me even more is the MC's own insecurity, hesitance, and fear of being misunderstood. If you bitch out on every situation, you're practically inviting someone else to steal your girl. But there are some antagonists who cross the line—like kidnapping or forcing others against their will. Even though I still engage with the game, I'm not fond of characters like that.   Tragically, those games led to my demise, and now I've transmigrated into the very character I despise. But that doesn't mean I'm going down the Netori route. I'm going to focus on my studies and build a successful life with a loving wife and kids. ... Why does this stupid system keep pushing me towards a harem? I don't want that at all. I'm determined to live a normal life at all costs. (Disclaimer: this story is not netorare, Eric will not get cheated on, and is made from the hate generated from typical weak willed harem manga protagonist) updates are on Monday- Friday at 14:00 pm ______________________ here are some tags I can't find #yandere #mature #netori

Aryan has always been different. For as long as he can remember, he’s noticed small changes in the world around him—shifts in reality that no one else seems to see. A tree that suddenly has a different shape. A street sign that changes overnight. A building that vanishes, replaced by something else entirely. He’s learned to keep these observations to himself, convinced that no one would believe him. But when he wakes up one morning to find that religion has been erased from history, replaced by a tyrannical regime known as the Order of the Eternal Flame, he realizes that the changes are far more dangerous than he ever imagined. The world he knew is gone. The temple he visited as a child has vanished, as if it never existed. His parents and friends don’t remember praying or worshipping.

Guided by a mysterious voice from another dimension—the Observers—Aryan discovers that he is the only person immune to the changes in the timeline. His memories of the original world remain intact, making him the key to uncovering the truth. But the Order is watching. Their enforcers hunt down anyone who questions their doctrine, and Aryan’s unique ability makes him a target. As Aryan delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers the chilling truth: the Order of the Eternal Flame was created by a time traveler who arrived thousands of years ago, using advanced technology to pose as a god and manipulate humanity into submission. The time traveler’s ultimate goal? To create a “perfect” world—one where free will is eradicated, and obedience is absolute. With the help of a small resistance group called the Echoes, Aryan sets out to find the time traveler’s device and reverse the changes to the timeline. But the path ahead is fraught with danger. The Order’s enforcers are relentless, and the time traveler himself is always one step ahead. As Aryan struggles to piece together the fragments of the fractured timeline, he must confront the moral dilemmas of rewriting history: What is the cost of restoring the world he knew? And is he willing to pay it?

Love is inherently a complex emotion, so much so that even the gods grow weary of its endless cycle. To put an end to this chaos, Cupid decided to create a solution: connecting lovers with a red thread of fate.

Then, on a fateful day, Cassius saw the red thread appear once again. This time, it did not connect him to his mother but to a girl that he’d never met. Why had the thread appeared between them? And could this connection be a test of fate, or merely a cruel joke by the gods? ------- [No NTR][No Yuri]

The Isekai genre often highlights the fantastical adventures of male protagonists endowed with superhuman strength and surrounded by adoring companions. However, an alternative narrative focuses on the plight of "strays"—individuals transported from Earth who struggle to survive in a hostile environment where they are regarded as mere commodities, goods, or even trash. This perspective challenges the traditional heroic framework by emphasizing themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and resilience. Unlike the empowered heroes who dominate conventional Isekai tales, these strays navigate a world that is indifferent or outright antagonistic to their existence, thereby offering a critical commentary on issues of marginalization and the human condition. This nuanced portrayal underscores the harsh realities and ethical dilemmas faced by those who find themselves displaced and devalued in an unfamiliar and often unforgiving realm.
