A prince sent into exile, without the means to fight back.... more>>

A young man trapped in an unfair world, without the status to bring about change.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

Alex Walker is just your average Marbel American comic cartoonist when he suddenly died after saving a little girl from a truck accident. He Wakes up and finds himself as a useless hikikomori high school student in Japan Sapporo with a single mom and sister to take care of, pretty ordinary, right? haha!Outstanding haha! NOT! his father was a former washout legendary Mangaka Artist who quit the industry almost a decade ago but he just passed away leaving their family poorer than ever. Even his current mother had to work two jobs!... more>>

Alex decided to become a mangaka artist with the knowledge he has from his previous life to support his family and lift his family from obscurity and financial problems! but before he could do that, some shit happened, in this parallel world, none of his works or his predecessor's works exist in this world. In this world, Manga from his world doesn't exist. Reborn in a parallel world where famous works such as FragonbollZ and Card Camping Cactuar, Square box Spongeboxers, and Kyoto Ghouls DOESN"T EXIST! What would Alex do?

Alex would change the manga industry in this world and profit from it! by plagiarising! hahahaaha!
Famous works from anime?
Don't mind if I do!
Light Novel hits?
Don't mind If I do!
Expensive Merch like figurines? and plastic crap?
You know the drill!

Just so happens, he has a little system that gives me manga-related skills from his previous world. Noruto-style brush technique for the Mission reward? don't mind if I do!

hold up, something's not right.

Hey system, you're sealing all of my anime and manga skills behind a damn PAYWALL?! WHAT GIVES?! An Eldritch god is sponsoring me?! What the fuck is the dreamer?! Hey?! why is the world trying to stop me from changing stuff in this world?! The fucking Yakuza wants to kill me too?! Hey system, are you sabotaging me? you're doing this right? Right?!

Why is this system trying to sabotage my new Isekai life?! Screw it. I'll just do whatever I want. <<less

God is a pervert.... more>>

I decided that after I died and found myself in heaven.

Although I’m happy that God offered to grant my lifelong wish (to become a girl), the only potential bodies that he offered as options were beautiful bishojos with DDD-size boobs, jade-like skin, and porn-star like curves. He tried to convince me to take the one with the biggest ass and thus become the holy sex princess of some freakish isekai magic kingdom, but I immediately flushed a bright tomato color and punched God right in the face without thinking.

Ah yeah, whoops.

Anyways, I think I made God really angry at me, so now I’m reincarnated in this horrible traumatizing medieval setting as a genuinely unattractive and flat-as-a-washboard girl with some kind of weird autoimmune skin condition.

Every day is a struggle, and it’s taking everything I have to merely survive.

Is there a hope for a better life at all? Even amidst this jungle of darkness, can I find my way out of poverty, meet new people to love, and aspire to make my mark towards a better world?

Misaka Mizuki forced to stand and take responsibility for their family after their parents died from an accident. Together with her little sister and grandpa, they tried to live their best. Before she graduated from senior high school, one of her past time is playing the MMO RPG called New World Online.... more>>

New World Online an MMO RPG that was popular back then. Rei, one of the rankers in the game, was left alone by her friends and companions. After finishing the game alone, she sold her avatar and got scammed. She accidentally stumbled the New World Online 2, VR version of NW and from there, she started to play the game with the intention of earning money. 

Countless enemies were standing in front of her as she joined the battle between the people around the world. Asia, Europe, South and North America, Africa, Australia and Antartica, in these continents only one can gain the glory. Only one can create a legend through the whole continent of NW2.

This is the story of an avatar named Rei, who wants to gain money, wealth, pride, honor, authority, and power. All of this started in NW2... It was the record of greatest avatar Rei! <<less

Due to her bullying the Heroine, Veleina had been banished to the New World, a newly discovered continent across the ocean. However, a civil war struck her homeland and she was asked to oversee their colonies there. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever and ‘something’ even tried possessing her body to be reincarnated as her but Vileina is having none of it.... more>>

She is Velestina von Novaldein, and nothing will stand on her way.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she will fight and scheme her way into developing a poor backward colony into an Empire that can equally contend against her motherland as she makes allies, befriends locals and gathers the ‘Unblessed Ones’ who have otherworldly knowledge to create a modern Nation in a world where Magic is predominant.

This is the rise of the Villainess. <<less

When he came to his senses, Hiroshi Kishino, an ambitious highschool student, found himself in possession of the body of a game’s character. Except, said game character didn’t exactly leave.... more>>

Moreover, it was Harold Stokes, the story’s most hated character who was even given the title King of Trash by the players.
After a painful, mind-splitting lifelong process of sharing eachother’s memories, and the subsequent ripping apart and re-patching of their egos, how will the two work together to fully utilize Kishino’s knowledge aqcuired from his overly curious mind that also never stopped overthinking the realism of the various worlds he tried to write for his manga?
Oh, and maybe also avoid death using game knowledge along the way. Harold seemed particularly adamant about that one.

BTW: This is intended to be absolutely readable by itself as a stand-alone, but it is a fan rewrite of My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending by Izumi.
My original intent was to rework (I do love the original btw) some of the stuff I didn’t like, put a small twist on a few parts, and to go deeper into some aspects of the plot and characters that I felt could have been further explored. So, mostly keeping to the source material, but as a send off point and rough guideline. So obviously, it’ll have spoilers, but if you’re not going to read My Death Flags, you don’t have to worry about that.

NOTE: I am aware that many people would like me to finish this story through to the end. But please, if you feel similar, do keep the feelings to yourself.
If you’re wondering what I’m talking about, read the reviews. <<less

This story tells about an ordinary man named Ichibei Raven, an otaku who can mix well with normies; he is a man who aims to live comfortably without working in a country that upholds the Japanese work ethic. However, over time it was discovered that he had problems with his memory; at the right time, his parents came to see him and said that he was a person from another world. When a responsibility began to come to him, there was only one thing he said "if other people can do it, why should I?. Thus, it begins a story about the journey of a young half otaku and normies to achieve what he wants,... more>> be it an elf, a passionate, beautiful girl. Everything will be achieved if he is able.

This is a story where humans strive to contradict each other. Here, the main character keeps watching while acting for personal interests that might affect someone close to him or even the world. That's why I brought the reverse Sekai theme because it's something I've always thought about for a long time. There was an incident that seemed normal, but without realizing it, it will affect power, money, or anything desired in worldly desires. In the end, those who can understand the situation will win everything, just like a quote from history and the future will be written by the winner no matter whether they are good or bad.
It tells about a person who has no purpose in life, even though he always thinks that everything he does must have meaning.
Whether to be an ordinary person or an important person, these things will lead to one goal, namely personal interest. Therefore, in this novel, we will see how to become a person who can balance it, whether love, wealth, and desire will always move humanity.
I hope, it will be an interesting story.

What would happen if a developing country was transported to another world?... more>>

In South East Asia, there exists a nation of over 17,000 islands strategically placed between the Indian and Pacific Ocean. This country, named the Republic of Indonesia, is a regional power which has enjoyed the period of global peace in the early 21st century.

However, as Indonesia approaches its 80th independence day in 2025, the country is suddenly transported to another world much different from the Earth that the nation is familiar with. This developing nation now has to deal with new challenges and survive in this new world without any help from the developed countries of Earth.

With no satellites, a limited military force, and the lack of the more advanced technologies enjoyed by developed nations such as America and Japan, will this young and fledgling nation survive and establish its place in this unfamiliar world or be another nation simply reduced to texts in the history books?

DISCLAIMER:
This is a fan-made work of Nihonkoku Shoukan (Summoning Japan) written by Minorou. The Indonesia featured in this story will have slight buffs from the 2024 Minimum Essential Force (MEF) program, but its military capabilities will remain limited. The story will not be a complete copy paste of the original and will diverge after the Lourian War comes to its conclusion.

What if Jon Snow acted more like the dragon he was or even for that matter a god damn wolf!

What? You all don't know what a magician is? Do we need to start from there? ... more>>

Ok, ok, fine. But promise to pay attention.

In this world, magicians rule everything, and I mean it. People even become their slaves to have a better life... Yeah, I'm not kidding, slaves. The strangest thing is that they actually do get to that better life they want. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to starve to death, or worse, become the food of some hungry monsters... and those bastards can eat slowly.

But magicians also have a hierarchy. A starting sorcerer or sorceress is not the same as a proper mage. Remember that. You don't want to get it wrong in front of them, believe me.

Skipping to the top of the magic world, you can find the Archmages and Sages; I bet you have heard of those, at least. Archmages own their own countries. And I'm not talking about ruling; I mean actual property... Sages, well, they can create or destroy nations at will.

The gods of magic? Are you all messing with me? How do you know of that legend but not what a magician is?

All right, whatever... It is said that four great sovereigns of magic control everything we know... And that's total bullshit.

Why do I say that? Easy... well, okay, not that easy; I don't know two of them. But one is a total prick, and the last one is yours truly.

You don't believe me? I don't blame you. Let me tell you a secret. No need to hear my whole story; I'll tell you right now. I don't know any magic whatsoever.

So, why, when I wanted to remedy that and went to study magic, I ended up becoming the headmaster of the academy? Well, because apparently, I was the founder...

For you guys to understand my pain a little better, we need to return some years in the history of humanity, around ten thousand, I believe. When our world was still called Earth, and that damn goddess took everything away from me... with that, I mean mostly the internet.
