The Sovereign's Awakening

When death is just the beginning of a worse story... Marcus Reeves, a burnt-out 28-year-old IT worker, dies in a truck accident and reincarnates as Caelan Ashborne—the forgotten bastard son of Duke Valorian in a cultivation fantasy world. But this isn't just any world—it's from a webnovel Marcus read, and he knows exactly how this story ends. In two years, his mother Elara dies of illness. Three months later, he's murdered by his half-brother. Both deaths are footnoted in a single line: "unmourned and unremarked." Refused to accept this fate, Caelan discovers he has the Apex Sovereign System—a power that lets him grow stronger through combat, achievement, and bonds with others. Dual cultivation with trusted partners accelerates growth exponentially. There's just one problem: the only person Caelan truly trusts, the only one who's ever loved him unconditionally, is Elara—his mother. As political schemes intensify and assassination attempts begin, Caelan faces an impossible choice. Traditional cultivation won't make him strong enough fast enough to change their fates. But crossing the ultimate taboo—becoming his mother's lover to save her life through forbidden dual cultivation—will make them outcasts even among outcasts. From forgotten bastard to rising power, Caelan must: Master the cultivation system before his enemies master him Navigate deadly family politics where siblings murder for favor Build a faction from the estate's other forgotten children Steal away his half-sister from a cruel arranged marriage Face the novel's "heroic" protagonist who's destined to win Make impossible choices between morality and survival In a world where power is everything and family means nothing, Caelan will forge his own path—even if it means rewriting the very story he's trapped in. Love. Power. Taboo. Survival. Some destinies are worth breaking. Some bonds are worth any price. Also Appeals To: Readers tired of generic isekai Fans of complex family dynamics Those who want harem done well (not just collection) People who appreciate dark fantasy with hope Readers who like anti-heroes with genuine love interests Anyone wanting fresh takes on familiar tropes Content Warnings (Transparency): This novel contains: Incest (mother-son romance, central to plot) Graphic sexual content (R18) Violence and death (cultivation world is brutal) Morally questionable protagonist decisions Dark themes (abuse, murder, political cruelty) Harem relationships (one man, multiple women) This novel does NOT contain: Rape/non-con (all relationships consensual) NTR/Netorare (MC never cheated on, never shares) Extreme gore for shock value Mindless edge-lord behavior Sexism disguised as "realism" Reader Discretion Advised: If taboo relationships make you uncomfortable, this may not be for you.

Celestial 'War God' Return

[First synopsis] In the distant future, the universe faced a great danger from a terrifying being with immeasurable power. Tang Xiao, his master, and all the cultivators of that era worked together to defeat the creature, but it was still too powerful for them. They managed to stop the creature at a huge cost, but they failed to kill it. All the cultivators who participated in the fight died, and only Tang Xiao and his master managed to survive. Tang Xiao sealed the creature using an artifact and sent it into outer space, but he knew that the creature would return one day in the future. Therefore, Tang Xiao made the most drastic choice by using his Primordial Divine Ark to travel back in time to change their future. Tang Xiao had prepared everything carefully to avoid changing too many past events, but fate said otherwise, and his decision to travel back in time altered many things and unintentionally created several other universes, better known as a multiverse. [Second synopsis] At first, Tang Xiao's life was joyful and peaceful, but everything changed when he was five years old. His parents were murdered before his eyes, leaving only him and his big sister, Tang Yin. When he was 17 years old, Tang Xiao was framed by several people. One of them was the person he really trusted, and he was forced to spend 7 years in prison. These people did not let Tang Xiao out of prison, and they sent several people to kill him the day before his release. However, Tang Xiao was fortunate because his future self saved him, but the events of that day changed his life and mindset completely, and he used everything in his arsenal to take revenge on his enemies. ============== #Small_Harem #No_Netore #Some_Netori #No_Yuri #No_Rape #No_S3X_Clone ============== This novel still features dual cultivation, but Tang Xiao doesn't focus solely on dual cultivation, and manual cultivation is his main focus, along with several other things, such as martial arts, etc.

The Broken Talent Agency

In a world where dungeon breaks are prime-time entertainment and Hunters are global superstars, fame is the only currency that matters. Kim Joon, a man with zero combat talent, awakens a power the industry never prepared for: the Manager System. While others see strength in flashy skills, he sees the hidden, bleeding potential in those the world has discarded. His targets are not monsters, but people. The fallen S-Rank heroine, her foundation shattered by betrayal. The retired assassin, her legend buried by her own guild. The cursed witch, her true power locked away as a societal shame. To the mega-corporations and ruling associations, they are worthless, broken goods. But to Joon, they are masterpieces waiting for their final brushstroke. With his unique ability to spend capital to repair broken stats, unlock sealed traits, and rewrite growth curves, he doesn't fight the apocalypse. He manages it. Building his clandestine agency from the ground up, Joon must navigate a cutthroat world of media manipulation, corporate espionage, and rival guilds who see his resurrected stars as threats to the established order. His weakness is his body; his strength is his vision. And the fiercely loyal, terrifyingly powerful women who would burn the world for the man who saw their worth when no one else did. Can a talentless manager, armed only with a system and shrewd contracts, build an empire that controls both the dungeon gates and the airwaves? The show is about to begin.
