No, wait. It`s worse. It's otome isekai. And I`m the villain.
Of course, there must be some kind... more>> of cheat to make up for it. It's that kind of story.
And my cheat is... being a shoggoth. Which apparently includes being a genius with setting up all sorts of production. Because "engineered to be universal labor" backstory for that race, I surmise.
So... Screw it, full steam ahead. Let's see what I can make out of this world and it's ikebana-based magic. <<less

Summary: Noah's life sucked. He had no job prospects. All he did all day was play video games and watch porn. Worst of all, he... more>> lived in a home with six annoying sisters and a naggy mother. However, all that changed when he hit his head, only to find that the genders of the world had suddenly swapped. Women had become the leaders in charge, full of sex, violence, and shamelessness. Men were valued for their looks and pursued and taken advantage of by horny women. Now living with six horny perverted teenage girls and his soncon mother, can Noah rise up and take charge of the house or will he yield under this new society's standard? <<less

On a random day, at a random place… I died. ... more>>

And by the grace of gods, got reincarnated in a world that has put a label over my head of Otaku.

'Rise of the Thunder Emperor. '

Same clichè dense hero and harem of beauties involved in an Academy setting.

I would have accepted my fate if I had gotten in some mob's body but no…I had to be a villain who was destined to taste the awakened power of the protagonist, firsthand.

I planned to manage my life through this whole mess and if possible get that milf teacher on the way too.

But why the heck this hero is behaving like he knows what I am going to do?

Why are these heroines not performing their roles and turning yandere for me but not the protagonist?

And the milf I tried to trap is now flirting in the middle of the whole school?

Why did things turn out so hectic?

"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche (...probably?)... more>>

How would you react if one day you found yourself in an environment running on tropes and clichés?

For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this rhetorical question became uncomfortably real on the day he woke up on a strangely pristine island country in the middle of the Atlantic. Without memories, surrounded by characterless placeholders, and with a classic harem protagonist and his various love interests for friends, he tries his best to fit in and figure out what's going on.

That would be difficult enough already, yet his investigation into the rules governing the world, sabotaging the harem tropes, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes, ends up drawing the attention of the world's nebulous narrative...

Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters. <<less

A million years ago, the Western Continent was forever changed by the establishment of Yi City, the largest nation in recorded history. Split into many districts, it was the greatest accomplishment of its creator, but its glory did not last long.... more>>

Now, it is separated, and even those connected to the ruling families may be reduced to servants. Yi Wei is one such servant, but even when she isn't being ordered around by the likes of her aunt, she struggles to make any progress in her cultivation. Her own talent seems subpar, and the strange, inert characters floating around within her dantian don't help in the slightest.

However, her life will be changed by a simple accident that will set her onto the path of growth and discovery. The Planar Continents hold many mysteries, and the path she has chosen gives her no choice but to investigate them, for that is the Path of the Ascendant.

(Sexual content will not appear prior to Volume 2. Futanari will not appear prior to Volume 3. The main content of the story is already complete and chapters will be released daily, with exception of bonus chapters, which will come out alongside main chapters. Bonus chapters are being written right now, and once they're done, I will move on to a new novel which will feature more sexual content and futanari, in case that's what you're interested in.)

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

Combined, they will have both means and status.

Armed with advanced knowledge from a strange world, will Prince Corco be able to cut through the injustice, regain his birthright and bring enlightenment to the country of his ancestors to create a paradise of true peace, equality and prosperity?

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

…that’s a maybe then.

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.

After I died, god asked me, "what do you want to incarnate into?"
I thought about for a good while, "god."
Why wouldn't anyone want to go for the god route?

Before I could protest, he snapped his fingers and here I was, reincarnated as a strawberry plant.

Warning: This story contains explicit sex scenes and subject matter which some people may find offensive or traumatizing Reader discretion is advised.
Note: Some story arcs may not have back-to-back smut scenes (happened twice so far with a gap of 20 chaps, no less in Ch 36-Ch 50 & Ch 52-Ch74) due to plot constraints.

But there is something wrong with his mind, and she'll have to work hard to keep him from getting himself killed.

Oh, and the universe seems to function like a litrpg.

1 chapter a week every Monday (each minimum 1.5k)

What to expect:

- An edited story cleaned up around chapter 235 and then reposted

- 2 protagonists, leaning more toward one at the start and with more added later, but only ever one plot thread

- A power set where the main characters are intricately linked with each other, one effectively a warlock while the other her patron even though they are at roughly the same level of power, causing them to rise and fall as a group

- A fast paced story without much extraneous fluff

- Intrigue and manipulation (Describing one of the main characters, one of my readers wrote: I think this might be the first time I see a "reincarnated" spy in a webnovel that actually feels like she does intrigue and manipulation, instead of just solving all her problems through brute force)

- Dragon Ball Z level power scaling, with the main characters able to blow up planets by chapter 250

- A very, very slow burn romance

- Common webnovel tropes normally done poorly twisted for the author's amusement to make more sense and work in the story

- Main characters without the best morals

Content Warning:

One lead in the story is suicidal at the start and undergoing a pretty bad breakdown, while the other is possibly even more messed up, only better at hiding it. Their need for therapy is a plot point, and, given the nature and length of the story, they mess up a lot before they get better. <<less

By some strange turn of fate, my soul travelled to another world when I died from stupid bravado. (I know, cliché, right?)... more>>

I woke up with a new body and an existential crisis, due to my soul merging with that of Raynold, the owner of said body and the youngest son of a duke, who was stupid to the point of being mentally challenged, was only good at swinging a sword around, and had passed out after seeing his erect dick for the first time.

However, although this world's pretty much a prime example of generic fantasy isekai, there‘s a catch. For the people here, fat means beautiful, at least when talking about females. Indeed, they like fat, greasy women, with huge noses, bulging eyes and puffed up lips.

So, what am I to do when I see slim, gorgeous girls being bullied and shunned by society? I save them, of course!

...I just didn’t expect them all to fall in love with me and be completely fine with sharing me!

From the endless Primordial Chaos, three Gods were born.... more>>

They eventually grew bored of the emptiness and decided to fill it with stars and worlds inhabited by mortals, and they were pleased.

Giving some of those mortals the opportunity to ascend to Lesser Divinity by specializing into a particular concept, they entrusted to them the mission to keep creating more worlds, and more mortals.

And thus, was born the Great Game of Creation.

Lilith, Goddess of Conquest, Lust and Domination, would be one of the Lesser Deities participating in the next Great Game. She only needed to select a few Champions to send to the worlds she would give birth to, where their actions would serve as entertainment and allow for bets between the watching gods.

And fate delivered a candidate to her very doorstep.

----------------------------------------------------

About this series:

It is a wish-fulfilment fanfic, but avoid the worst mistakes of the genre.

No, the protagonist won't receive absurd powers at the very start for the sole merit of breathing or being 'lucky'. He will start will only a minor heal on a long cooldown, and will have to train like a maniac and drop sweat and blood to get ahead. It will take him months to become significantly above average, and years to become the strongest.

No, girls won't fawn over him just because of his pretty face. Things will be more realistic and transactional at first.

The protagonist is benevolent, but also ruthless, and will often use underhanded methods to get what he wants. Or should I say, who he wants.

----------------------------------------------------

English isn't my first language. I hope this will still be readable enough not to be uncomfortable for you readers, and I welcome constructive criticiscm.

Tags: No Yaoi or Futa, but there will be a smattering of Yuri, especially in the third arc. There will be BDSM, a lot. A variety of kinks will be explored, but you can expect plenty of bondage, latex and pet play. If you dislike those, this one may not be for you.

Cover by Tim Gibbons. I will replace it upon request. <<less

Never underestimate the guy who has so much Mana it should kill him...... more>>

Nathaniel's bus ride was supposed to be just another boring commute. But now, he, 23 fellow passengers, and a corgi named Biscuit are stuck in a "Hell difficulty" tutorial, battling monsters and leveling up.

Easy difficulty, anyone can handle. Normal difficulty, you've got to put up a fight to get by. Hard difficulty is where only the tough ones last. And Hell? That's where you have to be a bit out of your mind!

With his terrifying talent for mana manipulation, Nathaniel decides to invest every stat point into mana. Attribute imbalance be damned. It will either kill him before the monsters and his enemies can, or turn him into one of the most powerful beings within the system.

New chapters are released 5 times per week Monday - Friday (CEST).

Aden...had an ugly childhood full of pain and abuse. It taught him how to fight and survive, how to run and hide and cut ties. It didn't teach him much else.

So Aden ran.

He crossed an ocean, grew up, and discovered the world. Made his life his own. Soul-deep pain notwithstanding, he fought to be happy. Aden made do.

Until the aliens invaded his neighborhood.

Smoking rifle in hand and still coming up short, Aden makes a life-ending choice...and is rewarded beyond his wildest dreams. Or, perhaps exactly to his wildest dreams...Tinea's dreams, come to life through DNA-changing Vanguard science.

***

This work is set in the universe of RavensDagger's Stray Cat Strut, but it ISN'T necessary to read that first. Further, Tinea and Leah has been recognized officially as canon by master Raven himself. Cheers!

I develop my own plot and characters. Thank you for reading. :)

***

What to expect:

Plot is discovered, not designed. Consequences shape events, rather than scenes being designed to push plot. Upside: characters, relationships, and setting are particularly strong, plot can get WILD in amazing, unexpected ways. Downside: pacing risks getting bogged down until the author finds the groove.

- occasional slowburn sections that may feel a little aimless

- gratuitous violence against unthinking aliens
- get points, buy gear
- cybernetic upgrades
- organic augmentations
- a perhaps more serious approach to transforming male to female, using sci-fi DNA morphing
- maturity from both female leads
- girls' love, from the soft and cuddly, to the (clearly marked) steamy and kinky explicit
- many, many chapters

Sucked into another world and tasked by Ysulla, the Goddess of Sinful Indulgence, to corrupt the impressionable Valkyrie students of Ravenwood Academy, Ivy is, understandably, a bit overwhelmed. ... more>>

She’s been given a smattering of tools, some magical and some not. To name a few: the ability to delve into dreams and coerce the mind, a busty, excitable, too-eager assistant as skilled at administration as she is deception, and most importantly, the role of Headmaster. And with it, a cover story as Iverius Drovelia, a world-renowned war hero.

More than enough to accomplish this perverted task of hers, to turn the young Valkyrie campus into a den of debauchery and intemperance. So long, of course, as the whole thing doesn’t come crashing down.

Oh, and she has a dick now – can’t leave that part out.

(Disclaimer: If the synopsis didn’t clue you in, expect problematic depictions ahead. Including but not limited to: mind control, blackmail, coercion, abuse of position and power, and invasions of privacy, both physical and mental. Reader discretion is advised.)

(It’s a porn story about the incremental corruption of a magical-girl campus; what did you expect?) <<less

Aaron hadn't had a good fight in ages. No one in the known universe could give him one, he was just too strong. So, he was going to search for it in the unknown parts of the universe.... more>>

That's when a portal appeared in front of him with a message: the dimension on the other side was in danger and requested his help.

However, inter-dimensional travel came with its own rules. One of them was that his overwhelming power needed to be left behind, that he must tread the path to power from the beginning all over again.

Not that it would truly hinder someone like him. Excited at the prospect of having found a worthy opponent, he stepped into the portal.

On the other side, he found a medieval world controlled by a mysterious system. Holographic panels appeared at a mere thought, defining each living being in numbers, determining their classes, and changing their very selves.

In a world where power reigns supreme, the morale is fluid and the enemies are diverse. But they weren't prepared to deal with him.

Witness Aaron's conquest of a world full of conflict, wild beasts, and magical items. <<less

When I was in Middle-High, I confessed to the first love of my life. I was confident to become her better half.... more>>

But I was rejected.

In the bitterness of being thrown by the girl, I started spreading nonsense about her and soon her school life became nothing but a pit of mud.

I made her life a depressing hell.

At that time I ran away but the nature of fate brought me back to that girl once again.

This time we weren't on equal grounds and like in the past I wasn't looking down upon her, but rather….

"So Haru-kun~ How does it feel to be treated like trash yet have no way to run away? I bet you must hate me down to the core, right?"

I might have said yes since you are the one who has hurt me the most, but when you give me a lap pillow like this while running your fingers through my hair, I couldn't help but…

…fall for you, all over again.

This is my story of trying to gain forgiveness from the most complicated person I have ever come across. My yandere Ojou-sama.

Frank Doyle was going places. He was popular. He was a star athlete at his high school, and had plans to turn that into a scholarship. He was somebody. Then he got marked, and his life was ruined. Sure, his mark gave him the power to teleport (sort of), but it meant he couldn't play sports anymore. It meant he didn't fit in. It meant he had to transfer to The School.... more>>

Now he wants to be a somebody again, but being a kid in a school where everyone has a superpower makes that tough. It turns out though, that he's almost as good at causing trouble as he was at baseball, and if the other kids don't like him, at least they know who he is. When a friend suggests a prank that challenges Frank's abilities, he ends up changed in a way he never expected. Will he keep trying to be a somebody, or will she embrace her true self?

Updates are planned to be weekly on Saturdays, but that may switch to every other Saturday, given the size of chapter that Frank prefers. <<less
