It begins as a usual isekai story.
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

Alright, so you've been reincarnated. Neat, right? You got a hot mom, a cute sister, and to top it all off you're a handsome Noble with the stats to match. All's good in the world. Then you discover this isn't any normal isekai story, it's also a world from that cute otome game you've played before. No big deal though, eh? Except your sister is the villainess and only has bad endings.... more>>

Now, if you're the standard protagonist you realize this and bravely decide to smash all the bad ends to save her from destruction.

But if you're this story's MC?....You decide to do that, sure, but you also go out and kidnap Kings for a night of wild partying before somehow acquiring a Holy Sword and ending up in the middle of a desert stealing drugs from a Dragon.

Oh yeah. The vanilla otome game world setting this is not.

Join us tead on the grand misadventures of one Damien Claybrook as he leads holy crusades, seduces sexy tree spirit milfs, and journeys through the great starry sky to slap arrogant young masters. All while being high as balls when doing so.

Don't let the title and cute loli fool ya, lads. You'd best buckle in, because this story's gonna get wild. <<less

You've probably heard this sort of story before.... more>>

Once upon a time, blah blah blah a boy and a girl fell love and everything was beautiful and perfect, except for this thing called life getting in their way.

He was this cool foreign prince and she was basically perfect. Really it's a very boring run of the mill story. I'll even spoil it for you, they kill the villianness at the end.

Not the type of story I'd read personally.

So where do I fit into this?

Apparently I'm her older twin sister and the very very lucky fiance to the foreign prince. You know, the dead villainess? Sucks I know.

Now I get to do it all over again from the beginning.

Curse my life

------
Let's get the worst of it out of the way first: This is a boring story, very tedious, mundane and downright just boring. It's too slow, the characters are too confusing & make possibly retarded choices. It's an isekai/reborn type Slice of Life novel that plays on the villainess noble girl trope but the MC gets no OP cheats, no magical powers, not even some satisfying face slapping or such self-fulfillment fantasy. Wow, I'm doing a terrible job advertising this thing.

This is an awkward novel, the pacing is slow, and there are no time skips. For some reason still, I really love this little story I'm making.

After an accident involving a truck, Liz wakes up in a world she once thought existed only a video game, as the Evil Dragon Demon Queen no less. She no idea what to do, where she is, or what's going on. She's not the brightest, or the bravest, the coolest or the most cunning. But she cares, deeply, truly and powerfully, and she's not stopping until she's done everything she can for everyone who needs it.... more>>

Demon Queen is a love letter to fantasy, and a damning indictment of how we don't question a lot of fantasy tropes.

It's also a story about accepting yourself, seeing your flaws for what they are and what they aren't, about vulnerability as a superpower.

It's a story about being trans, about what it means to not know who you are when all you've known is denial and fear.

It's also a story about queer love, about non-traditional relationships, and about expressing your affection to your loved ones without reservation. <<less

The villainess of ‘Resonant Hearts’, Liliana Gracia Remington, was a person as poisonous as her nickname, ‘the Poison Lily of the Capital’. Her miserable life ended when she committed suicide after her fiance, the First Prince, broke their engagement and fell in love with the heroine. The character deserved her ending but that is a big ‘no thanks’ for me!

To avoid a bad ending, I guess I will have to start by preparing myself for life after my broken engagement!

When she finally understood, she was already too late. The protagonists had already fallen in love with each other and planned for a marriage. Maybe she was still lucky though, for she narrowly avoided a situation of certain death. A long, painful and agonizing death. However, she couldn’t let this be. There was inside her a growing anger that had yet to disappear. She had yet to vent. It was a need. One that may lead her to death’s door too, but if she died by this person’s hands, certainly, it would be in a quicker way.... more>>

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked. ... more>>

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live freely as she likes!

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.

Of course, there aren’t many who I consider a bastard... Perhaps one person.

My fiancé, the Crown Prince.

Despite being engaged, it seems he’s been too busy spending too much time with a girl who isn’t me as rumors are beginning to spread. I don’t care about him or the girl he’s been seeing, as if they’re going to be flaunting their love and affection together for others to see, then I might as well do the same as well now, right?

And I know just who to choose.

She manages to escape her death sentence via a last-minute intervention from her loyal little sister, but now she must adjust to being stripped of all her titles and exiled. Though it is a sudden turn of events, she had thought she would be fine. She was just happy she managed to escape with her life intact...but what is this?

Why is she suddenly waking up on a ship, surrounded by women who are crying? Wasn't she just supposed to be transported to an old rural village just outside the Kingdom to be exiled in? That is when she notices the brand around the women's neck, the ones that mark them as merchandise yet to be purchase. It is then that the realization hits her; Her exiled had just been a facade to shrowd the sly workings of someone who wasn't happy about her avoiding the death sentence!

Will this newly aware villainess be able to survive the cruel fate that has been forced on her? Will she be able to hold onto her life long enough to return and seek vengeance on those who cursed her to a fate worsed then death?

“Death by Love”... more>>

Just like any other visual novel, the villainess shall suffer—in the name of “justice”—for trying to obscure the relationship between the heroine and her man. Although in this certain game, mercy wasn’t ingrained into any of the members of the developer team’s vocabulary and she doesn’t simply leave with a scratch. In fact, she doesn’t leave anywhere with an exception for one path—a road to pure destruction. Be it the happy endings, or bad endings, she suffered a devastatingly horrid fate all the same; only befitting for a game rated +18—if the title didn’t already give away its grim nature.

Even with this knowledge, our villainess continues to look for the meaning of a “fulfilling life”—this time, one she doesn’t regret.

Life was hard and... Cruel.
That is how Rue Sweet Lee saw the world.... more>>

From young age, she already faced death...

Once.

But, now?

It's coming to take her again.

'Truthfully I really wanted to laugh at her reaction that time, but I wasn't able to, because everything hurts, every parts of my body hurts so badly.

I just then realized, that I was really dying. It was really my end after all, but I told myself,

"Well, at least I won't need to endure, and suffer with this family anymore."' She thought.

All her life she was alone and pained and burden by the misery of being alive.

The only thing that was keep her on going, was her almost finished Otome Game, titled 'The Strings Of Love' that she considered as her only 'friend'

But, death was like a gum stuck to her

"BAAAM!!"

While laying on the floor, dying the only thing on her mind that time was.

'Oh no!! Is there any hidden target!? No!!! I wasn't able to know if the rumored Hidden Target do actually exist!? ...'

A story of a girl, who face death once, now twice, and even now waking up and found herself reincarnated and given another chance in life again, was once again still forced to face death once more.

"Death! You know what!?? If you keep hunting me!! You'll really be the death of me!!"

This is her story when she decided to bow down to her fate and bow down to face her death.

And be the Main Villainess of her favorite Otome Game, which whose death was already predestined.

So, What can she do now?

"I have decided to be a Sacrificial Villainess, to give them a route to their happy end…"

"But…"

"Hmm?"

"How about your happy ever after then?"

"My happy ever after?"

"Yes"

"Ohhh… But, I'll be having none."

"But, Why?"

" I'm not worth it. Besides I'm nearing death's door anyway"

A girl who saved everyone…

"You're not alone."

But, who...
Will save her?

"Goobye... Everyone"
She walked away

Like a dream, she silently faded…

Out of their life…

Out of 'his' life.

Reincarnation: Villainess' Chosen Path <<less

Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect.... more>>

Brief Synopsis:
American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities.

The release schedule will begin on Dec 1st. The schedule is 4 chapters/week (Tue-Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series.

Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know.

I want to do this the right way.

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!"

I poured my heart and soul into the illustration (my first digital drawing) and using a mouse with Gimp makes me never want to do it again! I'll try again next week.

P.S. This is my attempt to join the supreme race known as authors, whom I hold the greatest respect for. And let me tell all the fine people of culture that otome game novels are my element and noble villainess girls are the blood coursing through my veins. Ohoho.
