I'M INSIDE MY NOVEL?! | No longer Just A Hero (HIATUS)
What will you do if you accidentally transmigrate into the novel you wrote? ______________________________________________ From the moment she realized she had transmigrated into her own story, she initially decided to do nothing but watch. It was a chance to relive Detective Students (Detective Squad), a Japanese high school detective story she had written when she was just eleven years old. However, she soon noticed that the plot had begun to shift in an unexpected direction. Everything changed the moment she met him-the second male lead. He was destined to die a tragic death, sacrificing himself to protect the woman he loved, all while seeking justice for his late sister. Because of this, her plan to simply observe changed. She found herself wanting to help him, but she didn't know why... Was it out of guilt? Or was there something more? Did she just want to give her character a second chance at a happy ending? Was it her mission? Or was it because she had truly fallen in love with him? The moment she decided to intervene and change his fate, she joined the main characters to help solve the case and bring justice to Shinji's younger sister. As she grew closer to them, she eventually forgot that she didn't truly belong in this world. Now, she is left with a difficult choice: Should she prioritize her mission to save his life? Or should she stay and remain by their side forever?Complete
Hold Me Tight, For I Am Unlovely
Imagine this: you're a perfectly ordinary office worker, stuck in the usual cycle of emails, coffee breaks, and daydreams about living in a fictional world-when suddenly, you wake up after a disturbingly vivid memory of... well, dying. And if that's not strange enough, you find yourself in the body of your all-time favorite villainess from a third-rate novel you read to escape reality. That's exactly the predicament Natalia's found herself in. After her untimely death, she opens her eyes to discover she's now inhabiting none other than Leticia Medicci-the infamous villainess destined for a tragic end in her favorite light novel. A character who, despite being written off as a one-dimensional villain, always captivated her with a strange sort of charm. But now, facing a pre-written demise and with a deep knowledge of Leticia's world, Natalia realizes she has one advantage: she knows exactly how the story's supposed to go... and exactly what she needs to change if she wants to survive.
Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia Part 1
"Why are my hands getting warmer?" As far as Alicia was concerned, she was the daughter of a rich businessman attending high school. Then, she feels off and at the same time, she's not. One week later, her best friend brought her to another world(s). This is Alicia Bell's tale. --- Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a multiple worlds and protagonists isekai web novel series about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and call themselves 'Court Wizards'. They embark on many worlds in the mission to make them better places whether it'd be covertly in the shadows or out in the open working together with the many kinds of people living there all while having an adventure unlike any other. These are their stories. Basically, it's isekai to MULTIPLE worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like JoJo. --- Note: A bug was triggered which caused this book to be split into two. Check my profile for both parts. --- 2nd place winner in the Star Gazing Awards fantasy category in 2020. --- Cross-posted in WordPress, RoyalRoad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu.Complete
I'm a Villainess, But So What? Fuck Off.
Honestly, I don't give a rat's ass about anything from the storyline. Those fucking capture targets are so damn stupid, falling for an idiotic birdbrain heroine. Actually, they probably only fell in love with her for their egos. Why should I ever feel that they're a threat to my life? I'm a duke and duchess' daughter of a powerful kingdom, I'm smart, beautiful, and powerful. I'm just generally better than them. Yeah, I'll just focus on my work as the heir of the dukedom, spoil my brother, improve my magic and swordsmanship, play around, and kill annoying people. This shall be my new life as the prodigy of the century! This is my own story, not fanfiction. All my characters are original. Yes, like all of the other villainess novels out there, we have transmigration in to a villain. And yes, this is like all of the other novels out there, we do have a Mary Sue as our protagonist. Edit: Okay, I'm done, I think. Is there going to be another book? YES!! PS. Changed the cover pagelolComplete
