The Art Of Getting Rich Again
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.
The Nest Witch
I died for some ridiculous reason and woke up in another world. In a universe where women who are not nobles are considered worthless objects, I was a peasant woman. In a universe where all witches had already been burned, I was a witch. The most beautiful curse I could find to express myself turned into praise. ✏️ This is not a literary work. It was written just for fun. 🙈 ✏️ The descriptions are weak. 🙉 I'll go back and correct the writing errors once I hit the 100th chapter. ✏️ There are parts where light novels are mocked and parodied. 🙊 ✏️ A casual language has been used. 🦋 ✏️ Oh my God, this story contains 16+ violence and includes scenes of inappropriate behavior. 🐷 ✏️ I hate advertisements. ❗️🚫🚫🚫 ✏️ The main character claims to be an atheist, but she is not; she's just a teenager on a quest for identity, swinging from one place to another. (Thank you, Captain Obvious!) 🕌⛪️🏛⛩🕍 ✏️ The genre is isekai and RPG. 🎡 (In other words, the universe was written with a game logic. If you want to read more works like this, I recommend searching for the tags 'RPG,' 'game elements,' or 'system administration' on a site called novelupdates.) ✅ I'm a fool too. The fool wishes everyone a good show. @all rights reserved @swear it's reserved lol @seriously reserved, watch out lmao
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
Reborn As The Unknown Bride

Clash of Worlds
A portal between Earth and a fantasy world is discovered near a small town in Central Italy. How will the two worlds coexist? How will the scientific community react to the existence of magic? How will a world stuck in a middle age/renaissance like era react to democracy and technology? Read to find out! The story is inspired by the anime Gate, various Gate and The Familiar of Zero Fanfictions (Operation Marteau de Justice and Fate of a World in particular) and by a lot of isekai anime. Ps: english is not my native language so there could be grammar and spelling mistakes.Complete

I'M INSIDE MY NOVEL?! | No longer Just A Reader (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 begin 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? ___ Ps. You might see other canon characters of MHA and CCC, but we won't be focusing on them in here. They're also older here, 17 years old, I guess since they're on their second year.Complete
