Black-Frost
What if your reward for years of overwork wasn't a vacation in Bali, but waking up inside the most miserable novel you ever translated? No palm trees. No cocktails. Just blood, angst, and a plot so allergic to joy it might as well sue anyone who cracks a smile.
This is an isekai, yes-but not the kind where the hero gets cool powers, loyal companions, and a destiny that makes the universe applaud. Instead, Kim Sunoo, literary translator extraordinaire, gets tossed straight into Oathbound in the Abyss, a book he hated so much he nearly invoiced for emotional damages. And to really rub salt in it, he's not the protagonist. He's the villain. The scandalous noble brat everyone despises, complete with family neglect, public drunkenness, and a face just begging to be punched.
Because fate, apparently, has a sense of humour.
