I will preface this by saying, the "gender bender" and reincarnation bit is entirely irrelevant. Seems to be something tagged on to draw an initial audience, since it is basically only mentioned in the first couple chapters of the first volume. ... more>>

I really like the setting for this one, you might think it's a Youjo Senki rip from the title and some reviews, but I can promise you it's not. It MAY have gotten some ideas from from Youjo Senki but this is another beast entirely. Surprisingly enough, it'll tug on heartstrings if you let yourself get immersed and you have any leftover to be tugged . This story will NOT make you feel good, but the story it tries to show is done VERY well. Translation is solid, at least to the point where I've read it. <<less

This is literally just what if during WW2 instead of the Japanese Empire we had the Korean Empire, their governments and policy are nearly identical) Their alliances and wars are the exact same, the only difference is that for some reason (presumably Paradox players) the author was like "yeah, it makes sense to send a volunteer force to fight in Spain".  No idea where the tragedy is.... more>>

I'll be entirely honest, I just wanted something with some politicking in it, since the pseudo French Revolution one got tr*shed. Hoping this will be it. <<less

Note: Likely to drop if I ever find a Reverend Insanity translation that isn't horrible.... more>>

f*ck me this was great, scratched my itch for a bad guy MC. For this one, keep in mind that it vanished off the face of the earth. I forget why it did, something to do with the author, but I still think its worth the time to read. Guy dies, is absoloutely horrified by the nothingness, I'm talking fear to the point of driving a person to the brink of insanity. Guy becomes so afraid of everything he focuses his entire new existence on trying to become immortal and eliminating ANY possible threat to his life.

Brainwashing, s*avery (not the good "oh he's misunderstood and they care for eachother as people rather than viewing the other as an object" kind, the go die for me or you'll suffer a fate worse than death kind) forcing surgery onto people, mind control, mu*der, sacrifice, human experimentation. You get it all, though largely hidden away from you.  He is, objectively, the bad guy. Not even a sympathetic one, which is WHY I liked the story. <<less

Pretty good, translation is leaps and bounds ahead of average. I did like the old site more, but hey it is what it is. Not exactly great at summarizing stories myself but I'll give it a go.... more>>

Basically, guy has to act evil in order to strengthen himself because of a system (don't worry, it's not as generic as that seems) and in his second life he will actually be able to make use of it to defeat the BBEG. Heroines remember, misunderstanding ensues.Now, normally I'm not into "oh woe is me, my life is awful even though I have women literally throwing themselves at me" which is what I THOUGHT I was going into but it's not exactly like that and it is VERY well written even when it goes into the tragedy part.For my Christian friends, I would reccomend averting your eyes because for a couple chapters there is SOME, a very SMALL, amount of NSFW in this story. You're good for the first 200 chapters or so if I recall right, and it isn't actually integral to the plot outside of just KNOWING that it happened though. <<less

SCP but MOSTLY slice of life (with hints of an overarching plot that hasn't actually started fully rearing its head yet), everyone knows about them... more>> and private corporations are allowed to manage them basically. I dunno how else to explain it, I can say the translation qualityt is good though <<less

Ignore every single word of the title. Sure, it is technically true and YES the story is objectively not that good but I mean, everyone... more>> has a guilty pleasure or two. Right? <<less

A totally petty criminal with absoloutely nothing special about him gets arrested for illegal gambling and thrown into what amounts to any well known South-American prison (no guards, just prisoners) that can and WILL kill you at the slightest provacation. Ok, so the "petty" and "nothing special" part about him was a lie, and THAT'S the draw of the story. The main character is a walking bundle of unknown, even to the reader he is an unreliable narrator. The first half of the story is steeped in foreshadowing, light manipulation and of course a constant stream of lies that made the readers constantly guess the next events in the comments as it released.... more>>

Now, here's why it is somehow below that piece of garbage above: the story can't make good on its foreshadowing, at least not yet. Don't get me wrong, it is by no means bad and ties off the ends neatly. It is still totally serviceable after the prisonbreak but it just doesn't meet up with the expectation set by the first half. I 100% reccomend reading the prison part, but as for the freedom part that'll be hit or miss up to you. On the plus side, you wont likely be left on a cliffhanger or in suspense if you start looking for a good place to close off your reading of it. <<less

You ever play CK3 and decide "man I think I should make a Genius, Strong, Giant, Herculean, Beautiful, Athletic, Viking and raid the everloving sh*t out of Europe"? I know I do, and that's why I read this novel. I'll quite possibly drop it when the "romance" gets involved, but as of chapter 27 I haven't seen any and can reccomend it. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's for the best. Just read it as a Viking story.... more>>

Also yes, I said CK3. CK2 is  an objectively better game but the UI makes me want to throw myself into a vat of industrial acid, desppte CK3's godwaful pop-up notifications. Don't @me on this. Fix your shit, Johan. <<less

I don't normally go for Academy titles and the translation and formatting oif the website on this one IS definitely lesser quality than the rest on here but I am finding some moderate enjoyment.... more>>

There is no point in the gender bender tag at all, just another author trying to make use of it to draw more people filtering by tag. Plot is roughly this, MC is a monster that needs to eat people to avoid going berserk from hunger. Their ultimate goal is to end the story they are in, or their role in the story, one way or another BEFORE whatever humanity (emotions, memories, etc) they have  left is slowly  whittled away. Story starts a year after the initial situation, so MC is already pretty far gone and is masquerading as a human in the academy by the story's start.

This one will likely get removed from the list if it doesn't make good use of the mystery element it promises, which it may. This is also one of the few stories I think would benefit more form perspective changes, but beware the formatting doesn't always make it obvious with the few that occur. <<less
