Honkai: Withered White Camellia

[Also Known as: Honkai Unofficial History: The Valkyries Are Breaking Down?!] The white camellia, scientifically known as "Camellia japonica alba", is a flower native to East Asia, where it grows in temperate forests and shaded gardens. First cultivated over a thousand years ago in China and Japan, it became a symbol of purity and admiration, celebrated in art, poetry, and tradition. Often gifted to honor someone beloved, the white camellia's pristine petals are revered for their flawless beauty. Despite its elegance, the flower is notoriously delicate. Sensitive to harsh conditions, its petals bruise easily, and it wilts quickly when removed from its stem. Beneath its perfect bloom lies a quiet fragility, a silent reminder that beauty and purity often come at the cost of resilience. ... ??? what? Doujinshi artist Li Wu transmigrated into the Honkai world, but the plot seemed a little off. "System, why doesn't this plot match the game's storyline?" [Rest assured, our history is absolutely canon. It has nothing to do with unofficial lore.] "Then let me ask you, what's Kiana's character setting?" [Aloof, misanthropic, a loner, and totally indifferent!] "And Raiden Mei?" [A terrible personality. She loves being manipulated, scolded, and verbally abused!] "Bullshit! I drew this dark and edgy doujinshi myself, don't you think I'd know?!" "System, I really like the 'Return by Death' ability you gave me. But this setting where I *also* regress if the heroines die? I'm not a fan." ... As time passed and the plot unfolded, the Valkyries' personalities broke down even further. Raiden Mei kneeled on the ground, gripping his and Kiana's hands, saying things like, "We have to form a Valkyrie squad for the rest of our lives," and "I'll do anything." Fu Hua, without another word, shoved a half-eaten chocolate Pocky stick and a cigarette at him, saying, "A little bro should listen to his big sis. Do it right, and you'll get a reward." "Are there any normal people left?! Why is everyone completely OOC?!" [Isn't Elysia still around?] "She's the most twisted one of all!"

The Prince is Crashing Out Again!

It is a truth universally acknowledged among readers that a man in possession of a villain must be in want of survival. And it is a well-established fact that a third-rate villain, a mid-boss or even the end-game boss are always destined to die, as the plot demands. Therefore, they must struggle with everything they have just to live. Now imagine such a person, fully aware of these tropes, wakes up in the body of a crown prince doomed to fall. This prince, spoiled by debauchery, will soon lose his heir status and die a grim death. To survive, he must cling to his heir apparent status at all costs. Summer break has just started. He needs to convince the aristocracy in his weak faction not to abandon him before break ends. His camps are filled mostly with ambiguous weak earls. His one high aristocrat ally is Lady Margarett, the acting Duchess of Carpathia as well as his mistress. She's in his camp for now, wanting a minting rights to counter her cadets' family, who have been interfering with the usage of the duchy's reserve funds. But helping her with the minting rights is also another death Flag. His siblings have it easy with powerful backers: - Cardinal Darcy-the Lord Chancellor, for his youngest brother. - The majority of high aristocracy for his eldest brother. - Bankers and merchants for his sister. Worse still, the only other powerful aristocrats in his camp is the rich fiancée. Her family is richer than everyone, including the dukes, because of their gold mines and rare mineral mines. The problem is that the original prince politically betrayed her before. They are to end their engagement the moment his status is revoked. To hold his faction together, the prince must: - Deny Lady Margarett's minting rights without losing her loyalty. - Keep Lady Margarett's cadet famillies in check. - Win back his fiancée's trust before she leave. - Rally his weak earls without triggering civil war. Beside this there are many more things that he must deal with. Can this guy with superiority complex achieve it all? Note: The story is written in a pace extremely slow, I recommend not reading it if you can't wait. The protagonist may be manipulative, hypocritical, narcissistic potentially racist with the elves and other species.

Lord of the Rings: Kingdom Builder

After dying from cancer, Oliver Smith wakes up in the freezing Weather Hills of Middle-earth as Aldric, a minor Dúnedain noble with nothing but a rusted sword and a group of forty-six starving refugees. However, he isn't just a survivor—he is the host of the Kingdom Restoration System (KRS). In a land of fading magic and rising darkness, Aldric must use the system to rebuild the lost kingdom of Arnor from the ground up. From managing granaries and planting orchards to training a military capable of standing against the shadow, he must transform a band of desperate refugees into a continental power. The world thinks the age of Men is over, but with a system for civilization building, Aldric is about to prove them wrong. The System: Kingdom Restoration (KRS) Territory Management: Allows the MC to "claim" land. Once claimed, the system provides a map overlay showing resource nodes (ore, fertile soil) and structural integrity of ruins, making it easier to rebuild ancient bastions like Amon Hen-dîr. Population & Loyalty Tracking: A HUD that shows the exact number of followers, their health, and their loyalty levels. It calculates "Prosperity" and "Stability" scores, warning the MC of potential rebellions or starvation before they happen. Civilization Skill Trees: Points earned from quests can be invested into trees like Agriculture (increasing crop yields), Masonry (speeding up construction), or Military Reform (enhancing the combat stats of his soldiers). Quest & Reputation System: The system issues "Restoration Quests" that provide essential rewards for growth. It also tracks his reputation among other factions (Elves, Dwarves, Rohan), unlocking unique trade or diplomatic options as his fame grows.
