Mars was finally having a good mental health streak when he choked on lo mein and died. At least The System is there to give him a second chance. Unfortunately, many transmigration novels involve a system glitch, and this one is no exception. Rather than hopping into the mind of the hero's best friend, like he intended, or as a fish, which would at least be funny, he's stuck in the body of the story's main villain. Worse, the original villain is there with him! And fully aware! And in complete control! Also, it becomes super gay so stay tuned for that. TW: Main character has depression. Story will tackle suicide. There will be no graphic depiction of any suicidal acts. other TWs: Graphic descriptions of violence and torture, lack of autonomy, body dysmorphia, unethical experiments, profanity, explicit depictions of sex (eventually) pls comment if there are any TWs I missed

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.

A young college student gets killed and accidentally saves the world. As thanks, a group of gods decide to give him a second life. They send him to Elrich, a world with monsters, demons, and where adventures await. However, his goddess liaison is a bit of an airhead and messed up his reincarnation. What sort of place awaits him in this world full of danger and uncertainty? This world is harsh, not at all the fantasy fluff and harems he'd imagined. Will he be able to keep his sanity with death around every corner? This story has LGBTQ friendly themes. It touches on drug use, child molestation, rape, children committing murder, death sentencing as a form of punishment, and questioning one's sexual identity. There are some harsh themes, since this is meant to be a harsh world. Some themes touch upon the MC directly, the others happen to secondary characters. I try not to go into too graphic of detail and I believe that this story is 16+ friendly. I promise that these themes tie together in the end to make a cohesive whole and are used to provide back story for later developments.

She had a very perfect life as she was a perfect girl. She had everything she could ask for, a brilliant mind, wealth, and many other things, hence death never really crossed her mind. Waking up inside a novel is an unusual but very cliché thing, but the young brainiac didn't intend to lay low and hold herself back. "Make way for the protagonist? Hah. I lived my life pleasing no one other than myself. And I prefer it stays that way." The plan is to take everything she wants for herself. And in everything, she meant... Everything.

Identity crisis? What's that? ---- An earthling's soul was born into an incompatible, human body. Their muscles misbehaved, their skin and body felt like a rigid shell, and their weak constitution left little options for any activities outside of paperwork, books and anything on a screen at home. Then the divine beings tried to correct the mistake and removed the mismatched soul from its unfitting body, slinging it to a distant world with a new body to control. The human flesh-prison replaced with the unlimited options of a shapeshifter, the soul has now a magic-filled world to explore. Grow fur for a mountain hike, grow gills and fins for a deep dive. It's time to catch up on decades worth of missed travels and activities. But who wants to deal with the flesh-craving predators called shapeshifters? Another global purge could start, if the freshly transferred soul shows its abilities too much. ---- The rankings are a mystery to me - especially after this story made it to No. 1 under the shapeshifter tag (and others). Welcome to fantasy amateur hours! This is my first time writing that kind of novel. Hopefully there's a bit of improvement along the way. Feel free to tell me what works or not! Occasionally drowning in irl-work, so chapters will be published semi-regularly, whenever I find some time to write. (Usually updated at least once per week.)
