Synopsis
___________________

Viretta Medlit is a hopeless braggart.

One day, she casually boasts to a young man she meets about her unfortunate arranged marriage, only to discover that he is her fiancé. To make matters worse, her exaggerated claims stir something within him.

“Are you prepared to face any hardship?”
“Of course. If it's for the one I love, I’d even hunt a dragon!”
“Then let’s go hunt a dragon. And break off the engagement afterward.”

Thus begins Viretta's journey to hunt a dragon…
All in the name of breaking off her engagement with a fiancé she actually finds quite agreeable!

I was reincarnated as the heiress of a conglomerate in the novel. However there was a problem, this world was about to be destroyed by a virus monster.

All I have left is money, I quickly bought in the countryside and built a shelter to avoid monsters…The world went down much faster than I expected, f*ck!

And somehow, even the male leads are trapped with me in my house. But it doesn’t seem like these two wanted to leave. Why is it as if you guys have no intention of going to the female lead?

“What the hell are you?”

“I think she knew about the fact that the world would be destroyed.”

They had a lot of questions for me but I couldn’t answer them. It’s not like you’re going to believe me anyway, right? Now, in my eyes, they just look like good manpower resources.

“Now let’s get to work, pay as much as you eat!”

If we manage to find a cure for the virus, the cause of the world’s collapse, our hellish times will be over. So, let’s roll the male leads until then and hold out!

But there’s one problem. This old mansion I bought turned out to be quite suspicious. What the hell is going on in my house?

It's been a year since everyone's beloved heroine was possessed by a jealous villainess. She was tired of dealing with the male leads who came to her and told them not to bother the heroine, and the angel-type heroine, who was completely oblivious to her, was exhausted. All human relationships are useless.

“No matter what happens to the original work, I will live with cats for the rest of my life and then die of old age.”

So I decided to stay home. The so-called Emperor Self Imprisonment. Why do you leave when you have so much money?

In order to live a comfortable life in confinement, they spend a lot of money making tape recorders, phonographs, and other magic tools, but something is strange. The wizard who makes magic tools is too handsome to be an extra.

“… “It’s strange because I don’t see you.”
“I thought wrong.”

Meanwhile, the original male leads are in trouble because they have a strange misunderstanding. Please just let me be a homebody.

I complained that the play script in this other world was terrible.

But then they told me, ‘If you don’t like it, write it yourself.'”

I got so mad that I plagiarized the lives of famous people and made them into scripts.

?Your Highness, I still have twelve battleships.?

?The die is cast.?

……But it ended up being way more popular than I expected.

Somebody, help me!!!

I found myself reincarnated into a game where you raise pretty girls to prevent the world’s destruction.

But wait, what are the guys doing while the girls are busy saving the world?

As it turns out, it’s a world where women are strong and men are weak.

In a world that disregards men, I have to survive as a ‘man who wields a sword.’

But… I’m incredibly strong, you know?

The story follows the protagonist, who wakes up one day to find himself in the body of Licht, a villain from a novel he was reading. Licht is a notorious villain who is known for his cruelty and ambition. However, the protagonist soon discovers that he has a natural talent for villainy. He quickly rises through the ranks of the evil organization and becomes a powerful force in the kingdom.

The novel ?? ????? ??? ??? ?? (I Have a Reason to Hate Streamers) is a unique blend of the TS (transformation) and esports genres, written by the author using the pen name "???" (Myojigi). The story features a protagonist who, despite possessing significant gaming skills, cannot become a professional streamer or gamer, which leads to feelings of frustration and resentment towards those in the streaming industry.

The novel explores themes of envy, personal limitations, and societal pressures, with the protagonist's journey of watching and critiquing popular streamers while excelling in the gaming field. It delves into their inability to compete in the same realm, both as a streamer and professional player, driving the narrative forward. Despite the dark undertones of the protagonist’s envy, the story also incorporates humor and sharp commentary on the streaming and gaming worlds.

Readers have noted that while the novel carries some grim elements, it doesn’t become overly bleak, maintaining a balance with its character-driven plot. The story’s appeal comes from its blend of personal struggle with the overarching world of esports and streaming, making it relatable to those familiar with the online gaming scene

Summary

A city of academies where high school girls converse with swords and spears in hand.

A comedy character who loves macarons and a cup of tea.

Yet in my heart, a man’s fighting spirit still boils like lava.

“What a cutie. Ohoho?”

I created a game character.<br>
Instead of taking several perks, I added restrictions.

?Restriction (I): “Curse of Sensory Seal”<br>

?Choice: Sight, Taste, Smell

?Restriction (II): “Curse of Short Life”<br>
?You are born with a body doomed to a short life.

?Restriction (III): “Curse of Silence”<br>
?Speaking causes you pain.

When the next day came, I couldn’t see anything.

T/N: [R-19] Viewer discretion is advised.

“…Excuse me?”

“What?”

“…I’ve come to tell you about the good news of our Lord.”

Ahn Seung-hyun, a college student who lived hiding his identity as a gay man. While on his way to meet an acquaintance he met through a gay dating app, he discovers that the acquaintance is a college classmate trying to out him. He tries to run away but gets into a traffic accident. Just when he thought he had died, he finds himself possessed by ‘Han Seung-hyun’, the villainous character from the novel he was reading, and continues living that life. However, there’s a problem: ‘Han Seung-hyun’ is someone who has been given a life sentence with a time limit. Feeling wronged for a moment, Seung-hyun thinks, ‘Since I’m dead anyway, can’t I fulfill my dream of being a rich unemployed person for a little while?’ and resolves to do everything he wanted to do with his remaining life. Can’t he have s*x at least once before he dies? With that thought, Seung-hyun boldly goes to a gay bar to find a one-night stand partner, but ends up getting involved with the one person he absolutely shouldn’t have.

“Ju-, Ju-, Ju Jae-young-ssi.”

“Yes. I am Ju Jae-young.”

What will happen to Seung-hyun’s terminal life after spending a night with Ju Jae-young, the sub-male lead in the novel who dislikes Seung-hyun?

In life, the most important thing is appearance.
To compensate for his lack of good looks, he worked hard for years to reach the peak.
However, the reality waiting for him at the end was nothing but betrayal and despair.

[The system has been activated.]
[You have obtained the 'Handsome' attribute.]

On the brink of death, he gets a second chance at life.
Now his goal is clear.

[Quest Completed]
Reward: Talent obtained through the 'Handsome' stat.
[New Quest]
Task: Become more handsome.

"I will become handsome."

I possessed a minor character who marries the prince.

I’m not thrilled about it. The prince is a scumbag who flirts with the heroine despite being engaged and eventually gets defeated by the original male lead. In the epilogue, all he does is apologize to his fiancée and marry her, with barely a line to his name.

Well, his personality is twisted, but at least he’s handsome. And since he’s the third prince, he doesn’t have to shoulder the burden of ruling the kingdom. That’s decent husband material, I suppose.

Go ahead, make a fool of yourself. You’re going to marry me anyway.

I’ll just sit back and enjoy watching your embarrassing history unfold.

“Doris Redfield. Don’t expect me to ask you to dance at this ball. Maybe not at the next one either. Or the one after that.”

“Yes, Your Highness. As you wish.”

“Even though we’re engaged… wait, what?”

“It’s just a joke proposal our parents once tossed around, isn’t it? You don’t need to take it seriously, Your Highness. I’m really fine with it.”

“…Is that so? Yes, that’s… fine, right?”

Why are you panicking, prince?

You started spouting nonsense first. Where’s your conscience?

But then, this guy really has the audacity to ask something outrageous.

“…Do you, perhaps, have another man?”

The guy who flirted with the original heroine is saying this now?

Calm down. He’ll regret this later. All I need to do is remain a devoted fiancée until then.

“What are you talking about? A woman like me… plain, not beautiful, with a gloomy personality, what man would even—”

“What? Who dared to say that about you?”

…You did, in the original story.

This guy is acting weird.

But he’s not the only problem.

“My dear little sister Doris, that dress you’re wearing today is dreadful. No wonder there are rumors His Highness has abandoned you.”

“Well, it can’t be helped. His Highness is too good for me anyway.”

“…Hold on. Too good? Who said that? Wait, were you really dumped?”

The original villainess, who also happens to be my older sister, Natalie, is suddenly interested in my love life.

Why are all the original tr*shy characters growling at each other over me now?!

I was transmigrated into a work I liked and finally came back.

But after, I was dragged into an Academy Romance Novel, which I skipped over after only reading the prologue.

There I found a half-broken possessors who regressed endlessly.

Li Tianyan accidentally found himself in the Hengwu Continent as a Concubine’s son from a family of warriors. Not only did he lose all his cultivation, but he also became a waste bastard with five spiritual roots.

Since the accident, Li Tianyan had an aunt and uncle who were eyeing him, and brothers who wanted him to fail. There was an ugly wife in the house who was married back.

I made a character gacha game with constellations that people from other worlds can relate to.

I was worried about what would happen if the constellations got angry, but…

[The King of All Demons complains that the Demon King character’s pick rate is too low and begs for some fan service content.]

[The First Elven Hero asks when their episode as the protagonist will be released.]

[The Master of the Night fidgets their fingers, wondering if their character’s jaw could be made a bit more slender.]

They… unexpectedly like it?

Jiang Qiuqiu, a food blogger in the 21st century, has traveled to the interstellar era.

To make ends meet, a food anchor named Jiang Jiaoyu in the Federal Food Live Zone was born, attracting countless local tycoons and hundreds of millions of Federal fans!
#Shock! The fan rankings of a certain anchor in the food live category is simply a Federal press conference!#

Jiang Qiuqiu originally only wanted to cook and make ends meet, but she unexpectedly became famous, enlisted in the army, saved a legion, and picked up a husband.

Countless people are screaming for this beautiful love!

The six prefectures of Zhongbo were offered to foreign enemies on a silver platter, and Shen Zechuan was taken into custody in the capital, reduced to a drowning dog* loathed and condemned by all. Xiao Chiye followed the scent of the furor and made his way over. But instead of setting others on him, he kicked Shen Zechuan with his very own leg, rendering the latter an invalid. Who would expect this invalid to turn around and bite him in a counterattack until he was all drenched in blood? That was the start of an epic feud between both men who tore at each other every time they come face-to-face with one another.

“Fate wants to bind me here for life, but this is not the path I choose. The yellow dust submerged my brothers deep under. I have no wish to bow in submission to an illusory fate. The imperial edict can’t save my troops, and the imperial court can’t fill the stomachs of my mounts. I’m no longer willing to lay down my life for this purpose. I want to surmount that mountain. I am going to fight for myself.”

Note : a ‘drowning dog’ is someone who is down and out, having lost favor or power.
