Avoiding the plot, Raising the villain

An introverted girl finds herself transmigrated into the world of a romance novel she once read. She awakens in the body of a weak, pampered, and wealthy young lady—a supporting character whose fate in the original story was cruel and tragic. In the original novel, this girl was overprotected by her parents, sheltered from the world, and raised without the ability to defend herself. Because of her naivety, she was easily manipulated and used as a pawn by the story's Villainess to harm the female lead. After mistakenly offending the villain, her family was ruined, driven into bankruptcy, and she ultimately met a horrific death. Knowing this future, the transmigrated girl resolves to avoid the main plot entirely. However, fate intervenes when, on her way home from school, she witnesses a young boy being relentlessly bullied by his peers. Initially, she considers ignoring the situation to avoid unnecessary trouble, but seeing how pitiful the child is, she decides to help him. From that moment on, the boy begins to follow her everywhere, addressing her affectionately as his elder sister. Two years later, her family relocates, forcing her to say goodbye to the only friend she has made in this world. What she does not realize is that the bullied child she saved is destined to become the main villain of the original novel. Unlike the original story, however, his obsession does not develop toward the female lead. Instead, it is her—the girl who showed him kindness—who becomes the center of his possessive devotion, setting the story on a completely different and dangerous path.

Beyond Dark

A young man awakens inside the world of a strategy RPG he once played obsessively—only to realize he’s transmigrated into the body of a minor villain doomed to die early in the story. Worse still, he is the official fiancé of Helena Astraea, the Second Princess of the Empire: a brilliant, cold-hearted prodigy fated to become the game’s true final villain. According to the original storyline, Helena will personally kill him during their academy years, an act that marks the beginning of her descent into tyranny and ignites the Great Three-Race War, pitting humans, demons, and beastfolk against one another. The war eventually consumes the world, leaving Helena as the enemy of all existence. Now trapped in a role despised by nobles, students, and even commoners, the young man must attend the Imperial Academy alongside the very woman destined to murder him. Branded a corrupt aristocrat and villain’s lapdog, he survives daily hostility, assassination attempts, and political traps—all while secretly monitoring Helena’s every move. Armed only with his knowledge of the game’s future events, he walks a razor’s edge: if he antagonizes Helena, he dies early; if he supports her too much, he risks accelerating her transformation into a monster. To survive—and to save the world—he must subtly alter key events, protect characters who originally died, and uncover the hidden truth behind Helena’s future betrayal. As bonds form, destinies fracture, and the academy becomes a battlefield of secrets and schemes, the young man faces an impossible question: Can a villain fated to die change the heart of a princess fated to destroy the world—or is he merely delaying the inevitable?

Logging 10,000 Years into the Future: the Battlefield Arc

Welcome, fellow readers. This is not yet another "raw MTL" English version (raw MTL means unedited, automatic, hard-to-read Machine TransLation). Enjoy :) Where to start? As of January 28th 2026, the manhua is currently in the first half of the Battlefield arc. Chapter 291 of the manhua corresponds to chapter "551. The third option" of the webnovel. I posted 32 chapters out of the 60ish chapters in this arc, and in the next days I'll try to post the rest of them. You can find other English versions online, but beware, they are mostly if not all raw MTL translations. This arc starts on manhua chapter 278, webnovel chapter 530 "The Battlefield is open!". It ends around webnovel chapter 592 "Out of the battlefield". Logging into the Future is initially a Chinese webnovel which has unfortunately been on a hiatus for a while: chapter 663 was posted on faloo.com in March 2025. See https://wap.faloo.com/1129789.html Here is an abstract for the manhua from mangaupdates.com: 300 years after mutated beasts ravaged the world, humanity began to lose ground, with only martial arts as their last line of defense. Lu Sheng mysteriously gains the power to journey 10,000 years into the future, only to find humanity has disappeared. However, he acquires the culminated martial arts wisdom to fight back against these monsters, honing his skills to the pinnacle. Armed with this new-found knowledge, can Lu Sheng emerge as the final beacon of hope for humanity's survival? Note that there is another English version posted by Transcedence on this site, webnovel.com, but it is hard to read raw MTL, and 11 chapters are missing, in the middle of the Alien Battlefield arc, between chapters 539 and 540.

Reborn as the Psycho Villainess Who Ate Her Slave Beasts’ Contracts

At twenty‑nine, she was the youngest CEO in the tech industry—NetVault Security had gone from small startup to Fortune 500 in just six years. The media called her a prodigy. Her board called her unstoppable. Her therapist called her alexithymic. Unable to understand or describe her own emotions. The elevator chimed. Elara didn’t look up. Only one person had after‑hours access. “You’re late,” she said. “The investor meeting is in twelve hours. Did you review the—” “I’m not here about the meeting.” … “Ugh.” Elara lost her life that day at the hands of her mentor and adoptive father. By the next morning, the same people who once called her a genius and praised her to the sky were calling her a coward who killed herself to escape scandal. Then Elara woke up. Not in her office. Not in a hospital. In a different world. In a different body. She was now Elara, the Fourth Princess of this so‑called great kingdom—only to find that this princess was an utter pushover, completely useless in everyone’s eyes. No one feared her. No one respected her. Even her own palace was full of other people’s spies. How is Elara supposed to survive this palace battle, when seven princesses fight in the shadows and she’s known as the weakest one? And can she ever escape this place… or will she decide to win instead? … … “Your Highness, please… ugh…” The leash of light around Mahir’s neck—the head of the knights—tightened with a soft pull. His face flushed red, and not from pain. “Princess, here.” Ken, the strongest beast knight, knelt closer and held out a small pill between his fingers, guiding it gently to Elara’s lips. “Swallow it,” he said quietly. “You used too much power today.” On the floor below the bed, three beastmen knelt in a row, broad shoulders tense, ears twitching, their eyes fixed on her with dazed focus. Thin, glowing leashes of magic ran from their collars to the bands at Elara’s wrists. “Please…” Ken’s voice dropped, rough and a little hoarse. “Put your foot here.” He touched his gloved hand to his chest. “On me.” Elara sighed, half annoyed, half amused, and rested her foot lightly on his armored chest. All three of them drew in a sharp breath at the same time, faces turning even redder as the magic between them flared. Their eyes—gold, amber, and deep brown—looked up at her with the same lost, devoted gaze.

Reincarnated in a novel: I am the villain!

[System Alert: The Villain has logged in…] [Detection: The Script has been corrupted.] The world of The Hero Returns ended in ash. The Hero failed, the Gods abandoned their creation, and the Demon King erased humanity. Lin Ye, a reader obsessed with the novel, raged at the tragic ending. He cursed the author, the gods, and specifically Damien Voss, the cowardly mid-boss villain whose incompetence doomed them all. Then, he opened his eyes. He was no longer Lin Ye. He was a newborn infant, staring up at a lavish ceiling. He was Damien Voss! The same Damien destined to be framed as a traitor. The same Damien who would watch his family be executed. The same Damien meant to become the "King of Ten Thousand Monsters", only to serve as a stepping stone for the Hero. [Destiny System Activated] [Current Status: Cannon Fodder] [Objective: Rewrite Fate.] Armed with encyclopedic knowledge of the future and a System that rewards defiance, Damien refuses to follow the script. Does the plot say he dies early? He edits the event. Are his skills F-Rank trash? He rewrites the code. Do the Heroes try to stop him? He enslaves them using the forbidden Contract Gem of the Voss Bloodline. However, changing the story comes with a price. Grafting new abilities shreds the soul, and altering destiny draws the gaze of the Void Demon Gods. But Damien doesn’t care. He will save his doomed family. He will command beasts, monsters, and demons. He will tear apart the script written for him. He will walk his own path, even if the world opposes him! ................................................ discord server: https://discord.gg/5XSAhZc9VS
