Shou Atami always admired heroes.... more>>

Masked heroes who defeat monsters are admirable. Gigantic heroes who battle kaiju are great, too. And heroes who wield swords and wear armor to defeat evil creatures in a classic fantasy setting are simply the best. They fight, save, and sometimes even win the hearts of beautiful girls they rescue. They struggle against evil, lose their way, and despair over the meaning of it all...

Yet they still charge ahead, advancing into the future. Shou always admired such classic heroes. But his first life ended without ever stepping onto a path toward a bright future.

"We deeply apologize for the error this time."

"As compensation, your next life will be in a world of your choosing. Yes. Huh? Um... what?"

"So, you want to become a 'hero,' right? I see… that's an unusual request."

"Understood. In the world you'll be reborn into, you shall have that... yes."

"Well then, off you go."

"Phew, that could have been bad... Wait, what? Oh no. Are you telling me that he didn't mean a character named ‘Hero' (Hiiro), but an actual hero, like a protagonist?"

"...What? No way. The character he's being reincarnated as is a villainous mob character, not even remotely close to the protagonist. Wha-what should we do...?"

In a certain sword-and-magic turn-based RPG world, famously called a "depressing game," a mob character attached to a minor noble villain group gains consciousness. Despite having reincarnated into a side character with villainous inclinations, he is convinced he's the story's protagonist. With the mantra "I'm the hero, so everything will work out!" he unintentionally and recklessly disrupts the grim plotlines, villain evaluations, and the mastermind's schemes with zero awareness. <<less

"I Seduced and Abandoned the Heroine’s Older Sister."

I was transmigrated into a female-oriented romance simulation game as the second prince, a capture target who only flirts with the heroine out of an inferiority complex toward the first prince, Edward.... more>>

I don’t want to get killed by Edward.
I don’t want to interfere with anyone’s romance.
And I definitely don’t want to be hated, either.

“You’re the one who likes her. I don’t feel anything.”
“Good. You’d better not. You’ll never end up with her anyway.”

Please Note: The protagonist often speaks about Joffrey as if they were different people, so he sometimes changes to third person. <<less

After being reborn and living for 30 years, I realized that my life was actually a romance fantasy novel?... more>>

...Where are you looking?

Becoming a wizard's s*ave, living as an experiment subject, then as an assassin, from a mercenary to a soldier, and finally becoming a knight.

This is the story of a man whose life spans across different genres by himself. <<less

People keep assuming I’m some kind of evil mastermind.... more>>

But seriously, I’m just a son-in-law freeloading off my noble wife’s family.

…Why does everyone look so suspicious?

Wait—don’t tell me. Is it because of my squinty eyes?! <<less

God: “I’ll lie to this guy and tell him that I reincarnated him as the protagonist, when actually I just reincarnated him as cannon fodder (LOL).”... more>>

A high school boy who longed for the protagonists that appeared in fiction got hit by a truck and died. He was then called before God, who told him that he will be reincarnated inside a game based on a novel. Our boy was happy to be told that he was going to be reincarnated as Protagonist… However, he was actually reincarnated as mere cannon fodder inside utsuge!! (T/N: Utsuge translates as “melancholy/depressing game” and that’s basically it.)

And so, the guy was played by god’s scheme … Well, such a thing didn’t happen though. He firmly held onto his belief and the vision of his ideal which then changed the world. <<less

A strange game suddenly appeared in Li Si's phone, then while walking, he met a fateful accident and died.... more>>

Li Si was reincarnated in the world of the \”game\”, where there were children with bloody eyes, inhuman creatures that devoured human lives.

A virg*n civil servant with no girlfriend is reincarnated into the world of a dating sim game, where he is forced to play by his sister. To make matters worse, he is reincarnated as the unpopular, worthless character that the protagonist had never attempted to pursue. However, as a dating sim character, he is handsome and has a respectable social status. Naturally, the men in this world only think about being popular with women and desperately try to be popular, but the protagonist, who doesn't want to be involved in the otome game, quietly stays out of it. However, his unexpected behavior catches the attention of the heroines in the game, who notice his uniqueness... more>> in this world.

Gradually, the heroine starts talking to him, but he ignores it. Why? Because he never even considers the possibility of being popular. Therefore, the protagonist doesn't even notice the beautiful girls in front of him.

“I know you won't pay attention to me. But if you could just look at me for a moment...”  

The protagonist becomes more and more like a distant flower. The rumors spread to the center of the game...!?  

This is not just a romantic comedy, so not for the faint of heart. <<less

As a director for the game Tyr One, I thought it'd be a great to create a gag character a super handsome man who uses only a spoon and annoys the protagonist at every turn.... more>>

Get the female protagonist to wake up at 6am for a duel. Check

Forget my tablet in class so I can annoy her more. Check

I'm not doing this to torment the protagonist but for her own growth as part of my quests... Hair loss as a penalty has nothing to do with it. <<less

After failing hundreds of times, Kang Yoon only thought about wanting to save his favorite character, who died over and over again—and suddenly found himself transmigrated into the strategy game ‘Tritales.’... more>>

The only way back to reality was to conquer the empire and ascend the throne.

To become emperor, marrying one of the target characters was mandatory. Transmigrated as Dante, the weakest starting character and the 14th imperial prince, Kang Yoon finally managed to become the crown prince after countless restarts. He then decided to get engaged to his favorite character, the tragic princess Evien.

But when he arrived in Evien’s homeland, El Fran, for the engagement ceremony, he was caught off guard by a surprise attack—and upon returning to his own country with the young Evien, he faced an unexpected truth.

“Your Highness… the princess is actually a boy.”

Shocked by the unbelievable revelation, Dante resolved to raise Evien like a beast on a leash—to use him as a tool to claim the throne.

“If you want to live, act like you’re worth keeping alive. Then I’ll help you get revenge on your uncle.”

“……”

“I need people. Be my sword and limbs—swear loyalty to me, and I’ll help you take back your stolen crown.”

He tried to treat Evien purely as a means to reach the ending, keeping his emotions out of it. But Dante couldn’t help growing attached to the boy who had no one else in the world. Unaware of what consequences that attachment would bring.

“You were planning to toss me to the princess of Kiha and return home? That won’t do, now, will it?”

Just when Kang Yoon thought the ending was near, everything began to unravel— At the hands of the one he trusted most.

“I’m the only fiancé His Majesty ever chose himself. The loyal little bastard he raised with his own hands. I may not have a tail, but I’ll wag everything else to please you.”

Can Kang Yoon ever break free from Evien and return to his world? <<less

The immensely popular VRMMORPG [Crest Online], commonly known as [Creon], is an action game where players use the crest they selected during character creation as a weapon to battle various formidable foes.... more>>

One day, I, who was ranked world number one in Creon, was suddenly reincarnated 1000 years into the future of the game world.

Reborn as the second son of the Marquis Sylphid family, Zeros, I was given the so-called 'outlier gift' [Crest of Nothing], which everyone dismisses as 'useless.'

Disappointment from my family and mockery from my older brother were my daily reality. Yet, with the memories and knowledge from my previous life, I alone knew the truth: that this [Crest of Nothing] was, in fact, the 'strongest gift' capable of mastering all skills.

"It's decided then. I'm going to aim to be the world's strongest once again in this world!"

Using my game knowledge and the [Crest of Nothing], I rapidly gained strength. Eventually, having surpassed even my former self, I became an unstoppable force in this world— <<less
