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?

Welcome to the story of my genderbent life!

Note: This story is *not* ecchi! Make sure you read the tags! The story starts out quite dark! <<less

Due to her bullying the Heroine, Velestina Novaldein had been punished and was ordered to head to the New World, a newly found continent across the ocean. However, a civil war stuck her motherland and she was ordered to oversee their Nation's colonies across the New World. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever which lasted for three days. Everyone thought that she wouldn't make it but miraculously, Veleina survived but alas, what everyone didn't realized was that something came inside her while she was unconscious.

Something new, primal and unknown. <<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

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

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.

...What? You want me to go on an adventure or something? Build a harem? Become an ashen specter? None of those activities are economically productive! Well, technically, if you kill a dragon and sell its materials, that makes you a "producer" and— But I digress! The point is, there's no way to enjoy a fantasy life if the nobles hog all the resources and technology is at the point where "flush" and "toilet" would never end up in the same sentence.

Suck it Rockefeller, Lipton, Rothschild, and Krupp: you’ll never get the chance to industrialize a fantasy world! Glory to Adam Smith!

—Author’s Note:

As a voracious reader of the fantasy genre, I’ve found a sort of unfilled niche for economic matters. No, not microeconomics like Spice and Wolf. Macroeconomics. Banking and government policies and the like. Most of the time you just see the paperwork, but never the details. Perhaps they aren’t touched upon for a reason, but I guess we’ll see.

Also, this story’s progression is rather slow with long-ish chapters, so it’ll read like a slice of life fantasy story a good bit of the way and will probably extend to during when the economics hit too, or so’s the plan. Oh, and this is my first novel so… please treat me nicely!

Selene is halfway through her eighth century of life but will forever remain sixteen, in appearance. And also in mind.... more>>

Vampires in this reality are a thing; after being so long hidden in the shadows, all sorts of fantasy creatures are revealed to be existing. Some of them, even things which go 'bump' in the night. But it's not all bad; those human scientists have formulated a 'cure' to take the bite out of so many creatures ― and, for those who resist, or are too much for the 'normies' ... there's Solitary.

Having undergone some number of centuries kept within the Solitary block, Selene is once again out in the world. But since she first went in, a large number of things happened to her: summoned to another world and had her race changed to an elf, becoming a hero for a kingdom in that world, and given birth to a number of children too. She had people who cared for her; but also the humans hated her, and made her dead.
Then to come back 'home' at the end of it, just to be back in her cell.

Also since being taken into Solitary, Earth has changed. A lot. Like, exploring space, meeting other humanoid and other races, creating this vast interstellar community ― all of which Selene didn't get to witness. But for her time alone, she's given enough credits to start a life in this new galaxy.

First, she's gonna buy a starship; maybe get a crew and also search for passengers and crew. Then she's gonna just fly away-

AN: I hate writing synopses, so I'd recommend reading a few chapters before making a decision. Also, it's tagged as an isekai but those tropes don't appear.... more>>

Warnings: I mention them, but there are a few chapters that are really gruesome. Furthermore, the innovations and advancements don't come into play until a lot later, though the framework for it all is built up early.

Inspirations: South Asian history, Tales of a Reincarnated Lord and some of the histroical and kingdom-building stories on RR are inspirations for this work. If you enjoy politics, clever strategies, nation-building and technological advancement, then this story might interest you.

Schedule: New chapter every Saturday at 3PM PST. <<less

Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia.... more>>

Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you?

This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!

About the chapters:

I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :)

I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD

If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance):

Extra info (Might get spoilery):

As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure.

(Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.) <<less
