Welcome to the future, where the line between reality and gaming has blurred. In this brave new world, Rosalind Grey is the queen of code, the architect of XP: Experiential Points, the first video game to take place in reality. But as launch day approaches, she is unceremoniously fired and her meticulously crafted game is let loose on an unsuspecting world. It's a worst-case scenario come to life, and only Rosalind and a crew of misfits can put the genie back in the bottle. They must navigate a world overtaken by the game, uncover the culprit behind the sabotage, and save humanity before the tropes and set-pieces usually found in JRPGs destroy them all.

Born to Be a Pacifist, Forced to Be a Villainess [Otome Isekai]
Mira, an avid player of otome games, suddenly finds herself in the world of the otome game she's just finished. As if that on its own isn't bad enough, she's become the game's villainess, Blythe Ridge, destined for execution once the heroine attains the good ending of whichever love interest she chooses. As a connoisseur of isekai web novels, she's convinced that all she needs to do to escape from certain death is to turn over a new leaf and stop bullying Daisy Willoughby, the heroine of the otome game. Easy peasy. Unfortunately for her, she soon finds out that she has no say in the matter-her body moves of its own will whenever certain game events have to take place. Everyone around her is bemused by her frenzied scrambling to claim that all her malicious actions, and even some of her speech, are a complete and total accident. Mira--no, it's Blythe now--just wants to escape from the 'villainess' label to keep on living! ----------------------------------- "Born to be a pacifist, forced to be a villainess. Such is the story of my life!" "What in the world are you talking about?" "It's a meme, a meme!" ----------------------------------- (third person, past tense, slowburn clean romance, LOW fantasy) ----------------------------------- Note: An otome game often refers to a romance visual novel, targeted at women, with a female protagonist and male love interests. Some include stat-raising aspects. ----------------------------------- Updates Tuesdays and Thursdays. Read 20 chapters ahead on Patreon! ⭐️ (Cover art by ME. I illustrated it.)
