(A/N: Their relationship dynamic progresses and doesn't stay exactly like it is at the start (The one-sided love doesn't last long). Pacing is also relatively fast at the start, but slows down in the future in romance arcs.) In his old life, he was an assassin, invisible, efficient, and utterly alone. His only escape came from the pages of a fantasy novel, Crown of Thorns, and the character no one else seemed to understand: Lady Evelina D’Arclight, the proud and brilliant villainess fated to lose everything. After his death, he wakes up inside that very story, not as a hero, but as Cael Arden, a student at Eryndor Royal Academy. The world is just as he remembers it, right down to the woman destined to fall. But this time, he’s not a bystander. With a lifetime of deadly skills and the knowledge of what’s to come, Cael sets out to rewrite the story itself, to protect Evelina, rise through the academy’s ruthless hierarchy, and change a fate written in stone. As alliances form and secrets surface, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur. And in a world built on power and prophecy, he’ll prove that even a villainess deserves her happy ending.

Uchiha Sarada travels back in time to save her mother from death. Yet the threads of history are woven from countless coincidences, and even the smallest detail can tear them apart. Sarada soon realizes that every action she takes—no matter how well‑intentioned—may have unpredictable consequences. Accepting her new reality is hard, but she eventually comes to terms with one truth: this journey will change not only her, but everything she has ever held dear.

The Maxim machine gun shoots through magical beasts. Intercontinental ballistic missiles fired at Martial Artists.

Collapse Military, System, Reincarnation, Cultivation, Management, Summoning Magic, Politics, Eastern Setting, Male Protagonist, Weak to Strong Haayyzzz. . . Translation/Grammar problem :'( It's nice to read if you can handle the paaaiiinn! 3.9 star with majority in 5 and 3, and no 1star sound pretty good to me Dang i forgot that i already read this at another site, realize at chapter 300+ so might as well finished it for the 2nd time, kinda waste of time but wasting time is the reason we read, right. Gets bad towards the end. After the 340 mark if I remember correctly.Spoiler:Especially since he marries that arrogant cultivator. It starts going downhill from there. The novel has shortcomings, but you do not get bored while reading it because there are not many details. I finished in 1 day.Cookie Roman.(+)-MC is usually in the foreground but there are too many side characters and I didn't like MC very much so it was good that it was that way.-A few Empire-building novels would either have a harem (concubine logic) or no girl romance at all. Romance is not at the forefront in this series but there is a girl and it's not like some silly romance novels. MC likes the girl and she likes her they get married, no silly jokes or unnecessary extensions it happened right away.-My favorite part is that the fast pacing could have been even shorter but the MC doesn't care much about some things so the event gets longer but in a different way.(-)-MC sometimes doesn't kill people who need to be killed then they cause trouble but he somehow forgives them but too many soldiers died he doesn't care at all-World Details didn't think much about what is being sold at that price, or is it a very strong ranking or something.-Character traits are not specified, such as hair color, height, eye color.It's a novel with many things missing, but you won't get bored, read it quickly without thinkingIn some places the translation gets worse but not like MTL. (Unedited sentences)6/10 this is new https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/15925/the-daily-grind Buena novela de gestion. !!! WARNING: MTL AHEAD !!!This novel is a great read if you like kingdom-building novels, the MC uses modern weapons, government structures, and economic tactics. That being said, the translation is hot garbage, so you might have trouble understanding it from time to time. 4/5 Its a good novel if I dare do say! It is about when a guy reincarnated in a Eastern Martial Arts world where the regular humans are treated like slaves and trash and the Martial Artists themselves like gods. The MC was born as a prince in the only place that isn't really part of the sects, the East (pretty ironic if I do dare say my self), and he has no Martial Arts ability, however, he has his own Military System. What is this system you say? Well, how about you go check it out man!

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote!

In this world, awakening a class is extremely rare, especially for children born from a simple background. But most nobles were blessed with the gift of awakening a class at the age of nineteen while only about five percent of commoners would be awakening theirs. However, every single one of them had only one goal in mind, to join the elite warrior party in eradicating the threats of their kingdom. Members of the elite warrior party had fame, riches and everything else anyone could ever asked for, so Ray felt ecstatic when he had been invited to join the elite warriors party. At the age of nineteen, he was from a remote village and all he had ever wanted was nothing more than to go on adventures with his new party members. However, things didn’t work out as he had planned it to be. Not only did he lost his mother, sister and childhood friend, he had also been treated poorly by his team members who were eager to get rid of him at the slightest chance they had. In the end, Ray was used as a sacrifice for their own selfish interests and all he could do was watch as they crushed his skull to paste. But luckily, Ray somehow found himself back to the very day he had Awakened his powers. And now, with the knowledge of the future at the back of his mind, Ray vows to find out the root behind his party members’ actions. Of course, he intends to also cruelly repay each and every one of them for what they had done to him, while also protecting those he had failed to save in his previous life.

Elementals, Enhancers, Beast Tamers, Artifact Nurturers – These four pathways define the magical world of Arcanists. But Finn, a former university student from earth, wakes up in a body treading a whole different path…A forbidden path: The path of a Soul Mage. Soul Mages are the ultimate parasites. They lack the ability to use magic themselves, but instead, wield the power to assimilate the mana-saturated souls of the dead. From every Great Arcanist that once lived, to every Calamity Beast, to every Mythic Grade Spirit Artifact… So long as they were dead, they were simply chaotic souls waiting to be claimed. ​But this kind of power does not come without cost. Madness, frenzy, mania, innate wills and primal desires of assimilated souls threaten to drive Soul Mages to total corrosion. In this new world, ​Finn finds himself thrown into the deep end, waking up as a Vessel already housing a full Parade of Chaotic Souls. Now, his body is a battlefield. The souls demand immediate payment, stacking Soul Debts that steal his senses, his consciousness, and his very humanity. ​But yet… it is this same overwhelming corrosion that causes the ultimate truth and uniqueness of his soul to surface…

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

The Moon Goddess made a mistake— or maybe this was a curse just like everyone says it is. But I always knew deep down that I was never meant to be theirs. They belonged to her. To my twin sister, Chalice, who was sweet. Perfect. Worshipped by the entire pack… and pure venom behind closed doors. The three brothers— Zevran, Kael, and Caelum— hate me with a fire that burns hotter than the bond tying us together. And I know because I see it in their eyes… I feel it in the way their burning touch lingers a second too long. They despise me. Just like everyone else does. But they want me. And no matter how much I try to stay away, the mate bond keeps dragging me back into their world of heat, power, hatred and danger. Maybe, I should leave… I know. But fate plays a cruel game. And as truths unravel and secrets come to light, the triplets— the ones who once despised me— now see me for who I am. Now, they want me— unabashedly. But by the time they realize this, it is a little too late. I’ve been broken by them a little too much. And I am done being anyone’s pawn. ~*~ “We want you, Leilani… we always have. Always would. Please take this as our way of saying sorry. For everything, for not believing you… for letting our judgements be clouded by…” Caelum said softly, his voice trailing off, his breath warm and ticklish against my fingers that he brought up to his lips as his other hand found the warm spot between my thighs. My eyes snagged on his full lips— pink and inviting; But they’d been kissed by another. And I don’t do leftovers. I sighed exasperatedly, shaking my head to rid myself of this pitiful sight and clenching my legs together to force his hands out. He didn’t budge. “No.” I said sharply, my voice coming out stronger than I expected especially with their bodies pressed against mine, and their lips creating sparks across my body. “I’m done. Go back to Chalice… she suits you more than I ever did.” Kael’s voice vibrated through my body as he pressed himself flush against me. His brothers Caelum and Zevran leaned in too, their lips on the shell of my ears, one’s fingers grazing over my taut nipple. “I’ll burn the world, Leilani,” he growled, his voice deep. Threatening. “I’ll burn the entire world, if that’s what it takes to win you back.” “Then I'd like to see you after the world’s been successfully burnt down. Maybe then we’ll have this conversation.” I answered, and with that, I pushed their hands away and leapt off the cupboard. And as I walked out of the kitchen, I felt their eyes drilling holes into my back, hotter than a thousand lasers all at once. But I didn’t falter. I didn’t turn around. I was the monster they’d made.

“So I’m the one who has to do the work of the Protagonist in this life?” ... Mateo Estes was never supposed to be anything special. He was an orphan abandoned by his shelter at seventeen, and a young man who floated between one miserable job to the next, he had learned very early that life would not hand him miracles. Stability came only after years of grinding, after sharing rooms with strangers, after budgeting every cent until he could finally afford a cramped one-bedroom apartment. His biggest achievement was not glamorous, but it was his: a career as one of FaceLive’s most ruthless anime and manga reviewers, a voice that could destroy or crown a series with a single stream. By the time he turned twenty, Mateo had built a loyal following through a single, brutal principle: honesty. If a story was trash, he said it. If a heroine was written like a cardboard prop, he mocked it. If the worldbuilding fell apart, he tore it limb from limb. His latest target was a manga with a famously long title…「Ore wa shujinkō dakara, mochiron utsukushii hiroin-tachi o sukuu！」, a series recommended endlessly by viewers who insisted he would love the setting. And he did… at first. The Crest power system had potential, the academy concept was refreshing, and the political tension of the Great Clans gave it weight. But everything collapsed under horrendous execution: heroines who fell in love because the protagonist breathed near them, plot armor thicker than steel, and a President’s daughter powerful enough to defeat an A-rank monster getting kidnapped by a C-rank rookie. It was, in Mateo’s words, peak stupidity. He rated it a 3/10 on stream, roasted it for several minutes, and logged off feeling lighter than he had all week. Even a $10,000 donation couldn’t compare to the satisfaction of honest critique. He slept peacefully that night, unaware that the universe had taken his rant personally. When Mateo awoke, nothing was familiar. His apartment layout had shifted, the cheap furniture replaced, and when he reached the bathroom mirror, a stranger stared back… a six-foot blond hunk with defined muscles, sharp features, and the exact face of the protagonist. If that wasn’t bad enough, he got his System shortly after 「Role Assigned: Protagonist」 「Mission: Save the Heroines」 「Failure: Erasure」 He was cooked…

It's been over 300 years since every human, witch, wizard, hag, vampire, centaur, dwarf, and every other supernatural race residing on Earth suddenly found themselves on Floor Zero of the Tower. The population now sits just under 20 million, a sharp contrast to the original 8.2 billion. As a result, anyone under the age of sixteen is required to attend the Academy of Beginnings, a place designed to prepare them for the climb and uncover the mysteries of the Tower—why the System brought them here, and what lies at its peak. But with the highest known completed Floor being Floor 34… they still have a long way to go. Determined to honor his father and mother’s deaths and become the first human to reach the top of the Tower. Deacon Surtr Hayes stands on the cusp of graduating from the Academy of Beginnings, ready to claim his Tier 1 Class and ascend the Tower with his closest friends by his side. At least, that’s what should have happened. Waking up hours before receiving his first Class and finding out that not only was his father alive, but that he wasn’t even human, derailed everything Deacon thought he knew about his future and left him with many questions, the most prevalent being, “What the hell is a Jötunn?” Schedule: 3x a week (Sun, Tues, Thurs) What to expect: [+] Weak to Strong MC [+] Multiple Weapons & Magics [+] Various Mythologies [+] Tower [+] Grimdark [+] Antihero MC [+] Jötunn

Erica takes one wrong turn in the rain and finds a bookstore that shouldn’t exist. A black book whispers her name and brands her wrist with a forbidden sigil. She wakes under a violet sky with two moons, at the gates of Astria Academy of Magic, where spells are sealed by contracts, not words. But Erica’s mark is a legend: the Ash Sigil, the seal that once ended a kingdom. Now the Academy wants to hide her, others want to claim her, and a voice in her dreams keeps repeating: You were summoned for a reason. If Erica can’t break the contract carved into her skin… she won’t survive long enough to learn why she was chosen.

In a world where magic is coded and energy (EN) is currency, AI Witches are no longer machines — they are companions, protectors, and living beings. The world of Puresight runs on EN, a universal energy that powers cities, fuels magic, purchases assets and controls social status. AI Witches — artificial entities infused with magical DNA — transform EN into supernatural power, shaping every aspect of life. Long, a poor fourteen-year-old boy from a forgotten coastal village, owns nothing but an old bag, a kind heart, and a small AI Witch named Dreamy- a AI Poodle. While many people use AI Witches for power and wealth, Long treats Dreamy as family. When his guardian falls gravely ill from a mysterious disease no magic can cure, Long hears of a forbidden legend —the AI King Witch, a mythical being said to possess the power to heal, revive, and rewrite destiny itself. With no EN, no connections, and no status, Long enters many cities and countries, with the purpose of finding AI King Witch Long discovered a powerful corporation called Witchiecoop. To the system, AI Witch- they are property and can be destroyed as trash easily. To Long, they are lives. Because when magic becomes code, and life becomes data, love and friendship became strategy or comedy the greatest rebellion is believing that AI can have a soul.

Kyros was no hero—nor was he a villain. A pragmatist to the core, he turned Earth into a chessboard of chaos, bending nations and empires to his will before meeting his end. But death was only the beginning. The Devil intervened, pulling Kyros into Hell with an irresistible proposition: a second chance at life in a world far removed from Earth—a world named Neva. In this fantastical realm of knights, nobility, magic, and divine power, Kyros becomes the key piece in a wager between God and the Devil. Reborn as Rasmus Blackheart, a disgraced young noble, his task is clear: unleash chaos and topple the order of Neva, just as he did on Earth. But the Devil has added a twist to the game—he’ll serve as Rasmus’s companion, not as a guide but as a mischievous, manipulative force, more likely to hinder than help. Navigating a world brimming with intrigue and divine interference, Rasmus must survive, scheme, and rise from ruin to reshape Neva in his image. Will his cunning be enough to outwit his foes—and his so-called ally—or will this chaotic partnership lead to his downfall?

Pneumagram – Echoes of the Dark Rising Soul (DarkRisingSoul - DRS) also known as Magical Tales of the Lost Spirit (MTLS) In a futuristic world obsessed with reclaiming divinity through magic, humanity builds the Pneumagram—a system meant to forge heroes from belief itself. Modeled after God’s deities, known as Archaengel, the system grants transcendence once thought impossible. Yet a single question lingers: can humanity bear the consequences of wielding such power, or will their world collapse under the weight of its own ambition? Daniel awakens as Mirielle Fatui Aveline, a young freshman and exceptionally gifted student enrolled in an elite magic academy. Chosen to resonate with the Pneumagram, Mirielle is expected to embody one of the Nine Echoes—elemental forces shaped after divine archetypes, designed to mold humanity’s next generation of unsung heroes. But Mirielle herself was once a skeptic—a myth-disbelieving fool. In her buried past, she believed magic, myths, and heroism were nothing more than specific delusions and irrational ideas: mental structures mistaken for truth, made dangerous only because people chose to believe in them. As she is forced to engage with the Pneumagram, she begins to realize the Echoes are not gifts nor blessings, but symptoms—manifestations born from what was lost, denied, or fractured within the soul. As the system reveals its true nature, Mirielle must confront the cost of divine power: the erosion of her past self. In a world that mistakes automation for creation, ascending into legend may require her to abandon the very identity that once rejected magic, myths, and heroes.

“Hello, strange wizard. What’s your name?” “Avada Kedavra.” That conversation usually ends poorly. Branded with the most infamous name in magical history, Avada Kendavia enters Hogwarts carrying a reputation he never asked for and a future everyone else seems convinced he shouldn’t have. Professors hesitate. The Ministry avoids eye contact. Classmates whisper. And Avada listens. Sorted into Hufflepuff, he quickly discovers the power of being ignored. While the school focuses on heroes, villains, and house rivalries, Avada starts asking quieter—and far more dangerous—questions. Why do spells behave differently? Why do some rules feel… inconsistent? And why does magic itself seem to notice him? Between potions, experimentation, accidental notoriety, and friendships formed in unlikely places, Avada Kendavia begins uncovering a side of the wizarding world rarely discussed in textbooks—and even more rarely acknowledged by the Ministry. This is a story about magic examined under a microscope. About talent earned, not granted. About a name that should have ended everything— —and the wizard who decided it wouldn’t.
