While Others Became Female Leads In Romantic Fantasy Novels, I Became A Closet Monster.

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

When others were reincarnating as beautiful people or adorable animals, I ended up in the body of a creepy monster living in the male lead’s closet.

…Why?

Not only that, but I also became the nasty monster that torments the male lead.

According to the original story, the male lead was supposed to fear me.

But—

“Your horns are more beautiful than roses.”

“Can I give you a name?”

The male lead doesn’t seem to be scared of me at all.

I thought it was fortunate that I, now a tenant (?), was able to get along with the male lead, the owner of the room.

“I’m scared to sleep alone. Let’s sleep together.”

But I didn’t expect us to get this close….

***

Dedrick stared at the monster sleeping soundly in his closet.

This monster, who had suddenly appeared one day, had saved him from his hellish life.

The corners of his lips curled up in satisfaction.

‘My very own monster.’

Something that was only his, something he would never let go of.

Ahh!! This is such an adorable childcare story, except it's about two children trying to take care of each other while the adults around them eventually get their act together and start adulting properly.

Our heroine is a Wardrobe Monster in the household of the local Duke. (Or so we believe... as of chapter 40, we have some foreshadowing that throws this into doubt.) Her only memories of her past life are of the novel she's now living in and some hazy ideas that she used to be excessively sick, which... more>> leads her to revel in the (limited) freedom she now enjoys with a healthy body, albeit one bound to a piece of furniture passed down to the male lead from his mother. She can leave, but for a limited time, and she can teleport to any other wardrobe in the house, giving her the full run of the house except for the areas where the Duke, himself, resides.

The only one who can see/hear her is her male lead, Dedrick (the son of the Duke and his fave concubine), and the Duke himself, although our (unnamed) heroine hasn't mentioned to Dedrick that the Duke can see her, yet. There is some mystery there. Others can see our Wardrobe Monster if she is currently in contact with Dedrick at the time. Thus far, this has only happened with one person, by accident. To everyone else, she might as well be a ghost. They can see the items she holds as if they're floating, she can punch and trip people, turn lights on and off, steal items without being caught, and basically get into ALL kinds of slapstick-style mischief, which she weaponizes against everyone who does her Dedrick harm.

Dedrick is SMITTEN. With the Duchess having killed his mother while he was a baby and the Duke being an apathetic, absentee parent, Dedrick has exactly one true ally in his home: his Wardrobe Monster. (He's working on a name for her but it's taking a while because he feels the pressure.) Over time, he is gradually pulling other allies to his side but, with the entire household mobilized by the Duchess, the only person he can trust in the estate 100% is our local Wardrobe Monster. She steals food and medicine for him, undoes the vicious schemes of his two half-brothers, eavesdrops on all sorts of juicy gossip to relay to him, and even lets him sleep in the wardrobe with her, away from prying eyes. (If you've ever made and gone to sleep in a closet nest, you know exactly how comforting this can be.)

I -love- this story to bits. Thus far, there are only 40 chapters (VERY WELL) translated and I'm left wistfully wishing that this wasn't a Naver Exclusive series so I could go find them myself but, alas, I am left waiting, hat-in-hand, for more breadcrumbs about this adorable duo!!! Thank you SO MUCH for picking this up!!!!

This is unexpectedly good & unlike any typical romantic fantasy I've read so far. Every chapter is sweet & engaging especially the interactions between the leads. They're both very adorable in their own ways. I look forward to more updates to this amazing story!

Edit: We got a ML who doesn't mind becoming a Princess & getting saved by the FL... uwwuwuuu soooo precioussssss😭😭😭

Thank you for the translations & picking up this novel🫶

For the first time, a female protagonist is a closet monster. It doesn't mean that she is hiding in a closet on purpose, but rather she is forced to be in the closet, it is practically her heart and her home.

Marilyn (Our female protagonist) is a sweetheart, she's bold, energetic, with a very particular appearance (horns and silver hair), she wants to be friends with the male protagonist and she wishes that he (Dedrick) can break free from his psychopathic older brothers and his despicable Stepmother.

Dedrick (Male Protagonist) is the... more>> illegitimate son of the Grand Duke, he is an unfortunate boy who suffers the loss of his biological mother, he is a victim of his older brothers and his stepmother. His life begins to improve with the arrival of the FL, also known as the closet monster.

For some mysterious reason, his father doesn't help him, I mean, words aren't enough for him, he wants proof, even if it's false, but he has an obsession with seeing things with his own eyes (strange guy).

I must say that I love the powers of the FL, she can enter and exit any closet, no one can see her (except Dedrick (ML) and the Grand Duke), she is like a ghost, plus, if she is hurt or poisoned by a scorpion, she just enters the closet and comes out cured. Well, that doesn't mean there aren't disadvantages, she can't spend much time away from the closet and if that closet was destroyed... she would die. She said it herself, that closet is like her heart. <<less
