Xia Zuoyi traversed and became a beautiful and delicate little lord in a fictional Western medieval fantasy novel. His gender was male, he loved males, and the role was cannon fodder. Under the shining halo of the Mary Sue heroine, in order to promote the development of the plot, he was constantly mentally disabled. He was, eventually, convicted and hanged to death. ... more>>

After passing through, Xia Zuoyi touched his white and tender neck and thought, 'I don't want to be gay. I'm going to do infrastructure. It was better to do infrastructure than to fall in love! Please let me be beautiful alone! Thank you!'

Pope/Duke/Leader: Did we agree?

Here, the upper class was distinct from the lower class. The hierarchy was strict. Here, food was in short supply, medicine was backward, and city-state disputes continued. The prosperity of the nobility and the depression of the common people flourished together. Here was the romantic capital, but also the wild world.

There were rumors in the Western Continent that the Pope had the favor of God, the Grand Duke had more power than the king, and the leader of the chamber of commerce took over the wealth of the empire. However, Xia Zuoyi, in the name of Lord Rose, promoted the civilization and economic development of the whole Western Continent, unified city-states, and created a powerful industrial empire. He was the glory and the most vivid rose of the empire. Rumor had it that the Pope, the Grand Duke, and the Leader all bowed under his pants, but Lord Rose was dismissive.

Let’s snatch the items from the jar beforehand. Oh, and also the heroine candidates, right?... more>>

The protagonist, Tsunaka Hajime, was reincarnated as the son of the demon duke, Zaus Jarmel. It seems his memories from his previous life have awakened. In his past life, he was a corporate s*ave, worked to death from overwork.

He was reincarnated as the mid-boss that appears in the Brave Sword Quest, commonly known as Breque.

In the beginning, his father, the demon duke, is killed by the hero, and he seeks revenge against the hero. And thus, it’s a scenario where he gets killed by the hero.

Moreover, Zaus’s position is strictly that of a mid-boss. He’s just a checkpoint, not the main boss or anything. In terms of the game, it’s like a tutorial. While it makes you think the max level is 99, the scenario actually has a max level of 999. The mid-boss demon duke Zaus, who is defeated within that level 99 range, is the one.

Isn’t it kind of pathetic for the mid-boss to be defeated by the hero protagonist? And what’s up with being fated to be defeated! My previous life wasn’t great as a corporate s*ave, and it was a terrible life!

Zaus is currently 15 years old.

He will be defeated by the hero at the age of 20.

Only 5 years left.

He made the choice to avoid the bad ending. He will strengthen his own army and weaken the protagonist using his knowledge of the game.

He stopped hitting his subordinates. The monsters are valuable assets. Training them is more important than hitting them. They will be provided with ample food, and medical care will be thorough. It’s to create the strongest army to defeat the hero.

“Master seems to have changed… He might have become kind of gentle…”

Not hitting the subordinates is inefficient. Injuries to valuable assets will result in a decrease in combat effectiveness.

Everything must be done efficiently! Efficiency is paramount!

That’s right, let’s snatch the contents of the dungeon’s treasure chest beforehand too.

The protagonist’s scheming begins.

What will happen in 5 years? Will Zaus be able to defeat the hero?

The curtain rises on a thrilling fantasy of avoiding the bad ending. <<less

"Xu Ze, I hate you for abandoning me! But I also love you. So I'm locking you up by my side so you can never leave!"

"Xu Ze, do you like me, or Big Sister? You certainly like me, right? After all, you told me that you would love me until death do us part."

"Xu Ze, I know why you abandoned me. It's because of this man, right? Then, I will kill him right now, so don't leave me, okay?"

The protagonist: "Brother Xu save me! I'll give you the system, I'll give you all of my treasures, so please don't send your woman to kill me."

Xu Ze, who was tied up, shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

My brother, it wasn't that I didn't want to save you. Even I cannot protect myself. <<less

After transmigrating to the crossover world, Lu Yu became a rich second-generation villain?... more>>

Was he not only obsessed with Bai Qingzhi, the female lead, but also despised the woman from the wealthy family who adored him?

Hehe, a ret*rded cliché plot!

The male lead already had a certain amount of influence and the woman from the wealthy family who adored him had already turned toxic?

Damn it!

At the banquet, looking at the cold woman with a long black dress and smokey makeup pouring white powder into a red wine glass, gazing at a woman in a white dress in the center of the drawing room, Lu Yu couldn't help but think to himself...

APOCALYPSE SAGA... more>>

Haruto, burdened with the task of continuing the game that had become a relic, was a Dungeon Master known to all within the game. However, that was in the past.

‘Anyhow … I think I transmigrated into a romance fantasy novel.’... more>>

The problem is—I opened my eyes in a wake room. Within a coffin. At the funeral of this body’s owner. To make matters worse, I had read so many novels that I couldn’t remember which one I was in.

‘Ta-da~ you thought I was dead, right? I was not!’

On the other hand, I think I’m a villainess. My family is cold-hearted, and the servants shrink and shun me, often crying while looking at the air next to me. But it doesn’t matter! I’ll exploit my master in romance fantasy to get rid of my villainess tag!

But then, I found a strange pattern.

“What exactly is this?”

[How to summon •••]
‘Is it summoning formation to summon something like spirits or dragons? That’s good. A villainess needs at least one ability to protect herself.’

“Meow~”

‘But why was I chosen by a three-eyed leopard-patterned cheese cat, rather than spirits or dragons? Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s cute!’

A monster lives in Count Rohanson’s household. A creature lurking beneath the skin of the late Lady Evangeline.

“I’m Gabriel, commander of Paralos Knights. I’d like to know more about young lady Rohanson.”

‘Knight Commander, pitch black hair, azure eyes … Gabriel must be the male lead!’

“How foolish. You don’t even know your place. I’m not interested in you.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m just curious about you.”

‘How come? Aren’t I the villainess? Go find your partner, the female lead!’

My aim is to use my summoning circle to protect myself! I’ll also look after Pudding the cat and Jelly the werewolf.

“By the way … why does everyone keep trembling whenever they see me?”

I’m a fake bride.... more>>

Diello Argenta’s name engraved on my back indicated that I was his soulmate… but I was a fake.
One day, I possessed the unscrupulous villainess’ body inside an adult novel.

Is there any way I could survive?

…Contract marriage!

I’ll be his wife and act the part to protect his purity until the real one appears. So when the Duke of Argenta awakens his power, he will destroy my villainous family.
While becoming a fake couple with the innocent Diello Argenta, acting sweet day and night…

“If your soulmate appears, it’s time to end the contract.”

Hearing that, Diello, the Duke of Argenta, gave me a long look.

“When a Ferro dies, a new Ferro will be assigned.”

As he grabbed the tip of my chin, the distance between us shortened.

“…I’ll kill them until it’s you.”

What’s with him?

Out of nowhere, he started obsessing over me. Wasn’t he supposed to be a pure and sweet guy?! <<less

To experience love, the Japanese man Yuuto drank a love potion but was deceived and lost his life. He reincarnated as a Dungeon Master but was not enthusiastic about his role, which inherently involved forcing others to fight. However, Yuuto noticed something.... more>>

"Wait? Aren't these monsters kinda cute when you look closely?"

From then on, he abandons his duty of making monsters fight and, instead, finds purpose in life by raising 13 monsters to be as strong and beautiful as his students.

Ten years later, the monsters somehow transform into beautiful girls and are eager to repay Yuuto for his kindness. However, they've become highly obsessive Yandere fanatics due to the doting they've received from him for the past decade!

Furthermore, all 13 have become extremely rare and unique monsters, the strongest of their kind. Unbeknownst to Yuuto, their desire to repay him becomes a world-scale endeavor.

"Ah, I kind of want to go to the beach."
"As you wish, Master. It's difficult here... (I need to conquer the most beautiful beach on the continent right away)."
"Oh, that sounds good! (I have to bring the nearby monsters under my control too)." "Understood! I must prepare swimsuits (Ah! I must dedicate all the nearby beautiful women for my lord's beach outing)."

[Not Serious Version Synopsis]:
As soon as Lin Ze opened his eyes in this parallel world, he found himself holding a young man. Thinking he was dreaming, Lin Ze decisively devoured the person in front of him, who seemed enticing.... more>>

The next day, upon waking up, he realized that the “dream” was real!
It turns out that the young man beside him is his husband, using modern terminology…

[Serious Version Synopsis]:
Transported to a world as a destitute and foolish poor scholar, Lin Ze faces a fierce mother, a cunning younger brother, and a helpless original body that can’t shoulder responsibilities or lift a finger. Now, in order to please his “former lover turned future younger sibling,” he has to sell off his hardworking and capable husband.

In his previous life, he never found a suitable bride until his death, and now this original body wants to sell off his wife? And the wife is an obedient, sensible, hardworking, and exceptionally beautiful young man who is perfect in his eyes.

To sell off such a good wife, whom the original host doesn’t touch or like, is an earthly tragedy that he absolutely cannot tolerate!

From then on, the sour scholar from Heba Village transforms into a knowledgeable, money-making expert who dotes on his wife, while also being an ambitious rural man.

Villagers (whimpering): Oh no, we have to come up with a different compliment every day, without repeating, racking our brains to bully people…
Villager B (in awe): It’s over, it’s over! That Lin guy passed the imperial examination and has come back to our county to become the county magistrate. Everyone, quickly line up and clap your hands to welcome him, or else we’ll be beheaded!
