RE: The Extra's Dominance

'My life is boring.' Cole thought when he was 14 years old. He thinks that there's nothing special about him or his life. And he thought that the only reason he was alive is because he was not dead yet. But then, at the age of 16, Cole developed a hobby. And that's reading novels. When he's reading, he feels emotions he normally wouldn't feel! Cole feels like he's been brought into a different world! And reading novels made him forget about the boredom he's feeling! So he really enjoyed and liked novels! To the point that he even started making one! Yes, Cole became a novel author and his works were seen and read by many people around the world! And seeing people talking about his work and supporting him made Cole enjoy writing too! But after reading and writing novels again and again... for a long time. Cole started to feel less excitement and thrill in doing them... Nevertheless, he didn't stop. Cole feels like he would be bored to death if he stop, so he just continued. Ting-! "Huh?" Then one day, while Cole was reading through the comments of his novel. He received a mail... The sender was anonymous and the content of it didn't make sense to him. "My work had been chosen...?" "They will grant my wish?" "What kind of bullshit is this?" So Cole didn't pay attention to the mail. ... "Eh?" Though, he suddenly woke up in a different body and a different world! Cole was sent inside his novel! And he became Raven Obadiah...? Who's that? The protagonist? No. The villain? No. One of the major characters? No. I don't know who the fuck Raven is too! Cole doesn't know him too! In short, he's just a fucking extra with no importance in the novel! But there's something weird about Raven's life that Cole doesn't know... And Cole, receiving a chance to have a life he could only dream of in the past... "Hiding strength?" "Staying an extra?" "Letting the main characters handle everything?" "Those sounds boring as fuck!" Cole, or should I say, Raven—decided to live a life full of excitement! He will do whatever he wants, and he wouldn't let anyone stop him!

This Extra Hates Bad Endings

Matt is an ordinary young college student with an addiction to the pages of The Golden Weaver’s First Apprentice. This novel wasn’t just a hobby for him, it was his lifeline, the one thing that kept him feel alive when the rest of the world felt unbearably dim. Page after page, chapter after chapter, he followed the journey of the Finster, a character he cared for more fiercely than anyone else, even his family or himself. When the long-awaited final chapter was released, Matt devoured it with trembling anticipation. The writing was flawless, every thread tied together, every arc resolved with masterful precision. It made sense. And yet, when he reached the final chapter, his world collapsed. It was a tragedy. A selfless sacrifice. One life given to save countless others. A "Bitter-Sweet" ending, the community called it. Matt was devastated. He raged at a world—both fictional and real—that could demand such a price from a character he loved so deeply. “I hate bad endings,” he whispered through clenched teeth. As though responding to his grief, his phone flickered. A soft light bloomed across the screen, forming words he had never seen before, yet somehow he understood it. How do you think it should have ended? Stunned, confused, barely conscious of his own voice, Matt answered from the depths of his heart: “I would be there for him. I’d support him, be his anchor—his start and his release. His companion. His ally. I owe him at least that much.” The light paused for a long, breathless moment. Then it replied: Don’t fail this time. And Matt’s world began to change.

Apocalypse: Zombie King is the Female Lead's Younger Sister

Zerra Sylvaris, a celestial nine tailed fox and disciple of a famous celestial ancient beast, was transmigrated as a zombie in an apocalyptic world. She became a mindless creature with rotting flesh and an unpleasant smell. After spending most of her life solely based on zombie instinct, she emerged as the zombie king. Thus, she gradually remembered who she was. She fought to survive, fighting against superpower humans who were trying to get rid of her. She wanted to go back to her celestial world. Until she found out that the world was actually just a novel. She was a cannon fodder, the temporary zombie king before another one replaced her. The female lead was her sister, and the scumbag male lead was her fiance! And she, the annoying younger sister, was merely a stepping stone to bring their relationship closer. After countless reincarnations, she found it hopeless to go against them. Her ending was always the same, definite death.  However… she looked at the male lead in confusion. This time around, everything was weird. To quickly end this round of reincarnation, she intended to go directly jumping to the densely packed zombies, but he stopped her. Instead, his increasingly intense gaze frightened her! In her process to become a zombie king, she thought that her flesh would turn like those rotten zombies, but this time, she awakened special powers instead. Not only she kept her original fair skin, she also could control zombies. The best thing? Her supplies for several reincarnations magically remained intact on this life! It was just that, she sometimes turned into a fox. And the male lead, coveting her soft fur and cuteness... always kidnapped her. (Content warning: gore and violence) P.S. The male lead might not be who you think he is. The author loves doting and devoted male leads ~

Merit Zero: The Quiet Hierarchy

Echelon Institute is an elite academy where students are ranked not by grades, but by merit—a constantly changing score that determines status, privilege, and survival. Every action is measured. Every mistake has a cost. Those who fall to zero are erased from the system entirely. Kairo Vale enters the academy with an unremarkable score and an even more unremarkable reputation. Quiet, observant, and deliberately average, he avoids attention in a school where Echelon Institute is an elite academy where students are ranked not by grades, but by merit—a constantly changing score that determines status, privilege, and survival. Every action is measured. Every mistake has a cost. Those who fall to zero are erased from the system entirely. Kairo Vale enters the academy with an unremarkable score and an even more unremarkable reputation. Quiet, observant, and deliberately average, he avoids attention in a school where ambition is rewarded and weakness is punished. While others compete openly for higher rankings, Kairo studies the system itself—and the people trapped inside it. As rivalries intensify and alliances fracture, the academy reveals its true nature: a controlled environment designed to test obedience as much as intelligence. Charismatic leaders rise, desperate students fall, and the pressure to sacrifice morals for survival grows stronger each week. Behind the rankings and rules, something is wrong. The system is flawed—and Kairo may be the only one who understands how. In a place where power is invisible and control is silent, survival belongs not to the strongest, but to the most aware.
