I didn't die in a dramatic battle, nor did I wake up in some fantasy world as a hero. I got reincarnated as a book. A sentient, magical, panic-prone book.
Now I float, glow, and occasionally explode in chaotic sparks while being carried around by a determined mage named Lyra and her overly enthusiastic apprentice, Tavin. My life, or unlife, is a mix of accidental magic, goblin attacks, and the existential dread of literally being read aloud.
But things get serious when I form a magical pact with Lyra, unlocking powers I never asked for and a bond that makes me... important. Maybe even heroic. If I survive long enough to figure out how to actually use magic instead of panicking.
Join me, the Codex, as I navigate magic, monsters, and the hilarious hardships of being a book with feelings. Adventure awaits. And yes, I still hate Tavin's handwriting.

A Hero With/Out Time
"I'd kill him if it were the last thing I ever did. No matter who's in my way. The Hero or the Queen, I'd get rid of them, no matter how many times it takes." Up until now I had always thought I was normal, a little on the weirder side but at least normal enough. Then I died and well... I didn't. Dragged off by the Hero and her party to slay the Demon Lord I met my end to the Monster along the border forest only to wake up before it all began. I'm clearly not the Hero Lara with her dazzling smile. I'm not the captain of the Knights Ronalt. I'm not a Master Wizard or a Swordsman, that would be Ardent and Earnest. Nor am I the surprisingly violent priestess Marley. And though she was dragged along as well, I'm not the beautiful thief Taylor. No, my jobs outnumber theirs tenfold for I am... their cook, their driver, the baggage carrier, blacksmith, tailor, potions maker, bird tender and so on and so forth. In other words I was the extra taken from my small town home. No matter what though, no matter how many tries it takes, I will make it back home or die trying, literally.Complete
The Obsessive Villainess Vol. 1 ✔
"Don't touch that man." "Why not?" "He has a beast guarding him." I am that beast; Nora. I woke up as the villain of this book, destined to die after going crazy due to my love for the main lead. "I spent my last life wanting to die, and now that I've decided to survive, this world is after me?" No. I won't die such a pathetic death. I will survive this time. No matter what. But first, I need to survive these main leads. One won't leave me alone; the other keeps fighting with me; another is destined to kill me... Even my superpowers are so weak! Surviving in a world that hates me... Is kinda difficult. *** I got tired of reading about 'special' and 'pure-hearted' heroines so I decided to write about a character I could relate to. Writing gets better after first few chapters. [#1 Angst] [#1 Obsession] [#2 Yandere] [#1 Villain] [#1 Antagonist] [#1 Superpowers]Complete
Amyra
Reincarnation of an ordinary otaku girl into the world of her design; a book she made when she was 13. Facing the loss of her loved ones and this new fantasy life as an Over-Powered god-like person in this new world of Amyris, she started her journey of finding herself in that world and receiving a whole new family, although not related by blood. A journey of comedy, mystery, thrill, and in essence the life of an isekai book. Starting as a depressed teen, who due to sudden circumstances immediately got reincarnated into her book as her Overpowered character; the protector of Amyris. "Welcome to Amyris, Amyra" "where did that come from?", I thought as I looked around the area. " Giving all privileges, as well as, all passive and active skills". "It's in my head! Am i crazy?!". It answered, "No, you are not crazy". 'Now I remembered, I was now in Amyris the world I designed when I was 10. A crazy set of circumstances got me here and I want to forget them. I was and am the designer of this world Amyris and according to otaku knowledge having a system is the norm for a reincarnation', Amyra thought after hearing the sytems response. 'status' ' i should be able to access a status board as a designer if I remember correctly, Amyra remembered as it was the norm for all reincarnations. 'As expected...now I am..Over-powered!'
In A Corner Of The World
Reincarnated person here. Not a villain or a love interest or even a remotely interesting side character. Just a cardboard cut out of faceless NPCs in the background. The only thing notable about me is that I'm reincarnated, other than that my stats are average. I'm not the hidden boss or support character either, I'm really here just to fill in the crowd. That is my mindset especially when the protagonist of the game adapted to a specific series of novels was introduced into the classroom. Everybody crowded around the hero, either to make friends with him because of his looks or status. So tell me, why has he chosen me to hang out with? ****** Disclaimer: No pictures are mine Trigger Warning: Gore, sexual assault, and more.

(Kind of on hiatus.... Updates will be random) This story is pure chaos. You have been warned. I had always thought the world was too dull. I dreamed of a fantasy world filled with magic. I was an orphan and had no attachments to the real world. I should have specified my wishes more. Being the next target of truck-sama wasn't exactly on my bingo card. When I opened my eyes I was in a new body in a new world. And there was magic. It was a dream come true despite my painful arrival. But there was something suspicious about the all too bright world. And what was with the ridiculously good looking people? I was inside a novel I knew that much. But what novel I didn't know. --------- There might be a lot of typos. It's a reincarnation story inspired by the many reincarnation manhwas I've read so far but with my own twist. English is not my first language. I might not be the best at wording things.
Please spare me, Villain!
Imagine, just for a second, let's imagine you end up somehow travelling into your favourite book. Then you started working your magic and you cosy up to the male lead who was supposed to get you killed or you make the demon lord fall in love with you so he can protect you from your imminent death. And woah you got your happy ending. But now let's imagine a completely different scenario where you end up in a book you read like 10 pages of (including the ending). And you find yourself literally dropped into the lap of a psychopathic rival who enjoys just a teeny bit of bloodshed. He's also the guy who killed your favourite character and not to mention you. But then you hold on for a second because you realise you're not dead and he wants to use you as an immortal tool to sharpen his aim. Well that's the story I ended up living in. And I've got one request from Mr. Villain over there, please spare me!Complete
