Have you ever thought to yourself, “tfw no qt3.14 dragon girl gf to play vidya with?” Are you one of those lonely people who claim to prefer single-player games because you have nobody to play multiplayer games with? Do you wish that you could have a harem of cute, 10/10 waifus who just want to play video games, be lazy with you, and do cute romantic things?... more>>

Then congratulations! You don’t get any of those things, but Drake does. You do, however, get the opportunity to live vicariously through Drake as he goes to a lazy dragon’s (read: best girl’s) pocket universe that has been designed to be the perfect survival / tower defense / crafting hybrid game-turned-reality! Have I mentioned that there are cute dogs and bees involved? What about the bodybuilder cat enemies? Or the fact that I, the best informational status window and synopsis writer ever, Window, am in the story?

Oh, and you might want to keep in mind that the dragon in charge of the universe dislikes all things rational, logical, and other boring things like those.

After dying of sleep deprivation, my soul was transported to the world of the game and into the Villainess' 8-year-old body.

He held his beautiful head and screamed, "How did this happen to me?!"

After waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling a former man found himself sporting long black hair, fierce red eyes, fair skin, and a rather incredible figure. "This resting b*tch face ..." he contemplated momentarily, "It's totally my preference! But it's totally my face! Totally bad news!"

The only option was to buy time until he could figure out what was going on and very soon he realized, "Aren't I screwed?" He was a duke's daughter engaged to the crown prince of the kingdom and was currently attending a magical academy with a cast of overly hot men happening to be the same age. This was clearly an otome game setting, and with his elegant, flower of evil, villainess face he inwardly broke out in a cold sweat.

The major problem was his total lack of information for he had never heard of the otome game he was currently in. Ergo, he had no idea how to avoid a bad end. However, the true problem was even more profound. "Marrying a man is impossible: I'm only into girls!"

Coco is a trash-like existence. Her attitude just makes people around her cough blood. It's Earth's blessing that she died. And her descent is her next world's misfortune.... more>>

She realized that she transmigrated inside an otome game she used to play as Colette Corliss, the villainess. Nothing to worry about. She can just use her game knowledge to avoid death flags or something, right?

It’s just that the plot became nothing but fart. All because she transmigrated in a world where numerous otome games co-exist. A world with plenty of protagonists with different tiers of heroine halos. A bunch of Rival Characters. Love interests confusing who their heroine was. There was only one word to describe her current circumstance. Chaos! But it isn't necessarily a bad thing. She smirked to herself.

"In chaos, I thrive. Duh."

"You do so enjoy employing hostage takeovers, Neil. It's about time you're on the receiving end don't you think?"... more>>

My father said those words to me while Bree was pinning me down on the floor. She wore nothing but her underwear and an oversized hoodie, that only covered up to her slender snow-white thighs.

I asked him what he meant exactly, but he only chuckled through the cell phone and said,

"Well, I guess from today onwards you're going to be taken hostage by an angel."

With that, the phone call, as well as my normal life, came to an abrupt end...

The story of Neil Dameson starts out as if it were any other regular day. He woke up, ate breakfast, took a limousine to school, and fired a couple of incompetent employees. It was the usual life of an everyday teenage millionaire. Then out of thin air, an angel named Bree appeared before him and gave him the powers of an angel. He then could see people's life spans and took on the mantle of being a "Death Watcher." With his newfound powers, he had to use them to save humanity from the threat of the "Overshadows." The Overshadows" were evil dark angels who lived eternally by stealing the life span of humans and threw the world into chaos. The weight of his duties only heightens when he finds out that he dies if he fails to save even a single human life. Forced into a situation, where Neil has to become the reluctant hero everyone wants him to be, and with his life at the mercy of the angels, he truly was a hostage.

Fang Shuren is a lazy bum. He abandoned his family then quit his job. Most speculated he went insane, some said he turned into a coward, and a few of the usual swore it was a fanatical love affair. But these are all at least half wrong, he did it with intentions to start a new life. Lately, things had gotten so monotonous that he didn’t even sing when drunk anymore! ... more>>

Well, ditching everything didn’t help. Fang Shuren idled for months before he decided to take a stroll up Plum Blossom Mountain, a place where he planned to be done with it all. He never expected to meet another person there. And that they'd be so...obnoxious.

Can Fang Shuren ever ditch this irritating man, be productive in society, or sing while drunk again? And does he actually want to do any of these besides the first one?

But what about this: A young man in a generic LitRPG fantasy world hit by a carriage who ends up in modern-day San Francisco, and yet still wants to be a hero anyway? That's how Systemless starts, and boy does it never let up.

The system can be accepted by anyone who decides to Class Up using the world’s various Sorting Scepters. From then on, leveling up will be possible, but it could come at the cost of one's life.

The only way to replenish one's LP is to level up and learn new skills.

Now he is a D-Rank hero, but he will forge a powerful destiny for himself... and he will do so in a new world, after The Goddess reincarnates him in a brand-new Earth that is in desperate need of his abilities.

Join Eryk Solbourne and his two Earthen friends Francis and Delta as they adventure across the United States and try to achieve the impossible: becoming the ultimate hero in a world where levels don't even exist.
