I'm just a humble Natural Dyer. Stop Calling Me Sage

Khun Ming was never a hero. He was a natural dyer who spent his life working with plants, cloth, and dye vats. His greatest concerns were water temperature, fiber preparation, and whether a batch of marigold would produce a stable yellow. Then one day he died while trying to save a drowning puppy. Instead of the afterlife he expected, Khun Ming met an ancient ancestor who offered him a new life in another world. He asked for only a few simple things: A peaceful life. Good soil for growing plants. Complete knowledge of natural dyeing. The skills to build his own home. And enough strength to defend himself if necessary. Now living quietly on a cliffside bamboo cottage, Khun Ming begins again as a humble craftsman. But this new world does not understand color the way he does. Here, pigments come from spiritual stones controlled by powerful guilds. Cloth is dull, expensive, and lifeless. Khun Ming simply grows flowers, dig roots, chop barks, pluck leaves. Through careful washing, boiling, and dyeing, he slowly brings real color back into the world. Meanwhile, cultivators, sect elders, spirit beasts, and even immortals begin noticing something strange. The land around his cottage becomes unusually stable. Spirit energy flows smoothly. Tribulations weaken. Ancient beasts gather nearby. Yet Khun Ming remains completely unaware. He believes he is just a humble natural dyer trying to complete his next order of yellow cloth. Unfortunately for the cultivation world, dyeing done properly can change far more than fabric.

My Love Game That Is Doomed to End in Death with Them

By a twist of fate, Narumi Tōru obtains a Romance Simulation System. As long as he earnestly plays various roles within the simulations and successfully clears NPC routes, he can earn rewards and overturn his life as a nobody. But the premise of the game is simple and cruel: he is guaranteed to meet death at the ending. He elopes with Yukinoshita Yukino, who is suffering from a serious illness, escaping the hospital and driving along the highway toward the sea—only to give his pancreas to Yukino in the end, letting her live on alone. He stars in a romantic comedy of body-swapping with his “little sister” Eriri. At the height of a midsummer fireworks festival, they are forgotten by everyone, and in an empty town, they embrace beneath a rain of falling meteors. He stands directly opposed to Kessoku Band. The villain who bullies a socially anxious girl collapses and dies suddenly in Yamada Ryō’s arms on the eve of the band’s rise to fame—only then do people realize that everything he did was merely to bring Gotō Hitori into the spotlight. He gradually drifts apart from his childhood friend Sakurajima Mai. When she is afflicted with a curse of reverse growth, he takes it upon himself without hesitation. From that moment on, the two who once shared fleeting days—gathering the morning flowers and recalling them at dusk—find their timelines crossing in opposite directions… Yet after pulling himself out of the game’s fatal endings, he can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t quite right… Lover, big brother, childhood friend—weren’t those just settings inside a simulation game? So why are you all taking it seriously?

This Extra Hates Bad Endings

Matt is an ordinary young college student with an addiction to the pages of The Golden Weaver’s First Apprentice. This novel wasn’t just a hobby for him, it was his lifeline, the one thing that kept him feel alive when the rest of the world felt unbearably dim. Page after page, chapter after chapter, he followed the journey of the Finster, a character he cared for more fiercely than anyone else, even his family or himself. When the long-awaited final chapter was released, Matt devoured it with trembling anticipation. The writing was flawless, every thread tied together, every arc resolved with masterful precision. It made sense. And yet, when he reached the final chapter, his world collapsed. It was a tragedy. A selfless sacrifice. One life given to save countless others. A "Bitter-Sweet" ending, the community called it. Matt was devastated. He raged at a world—both fictional and real—that could demand such a price from a character he loved so deeply. “I hate bad endings,” he whispered through clenched teeth. As though responding to his grief, his phone flickered. A soft light bloomed across the screen, forming words he had never seen before, yet somehow he understood it. How do you think it should have ended? Stunned, confused, barely conscious of his own voice, Matt answered from the depths of his heart: “I would be there for him. I’d support him, be his anchor—his start and his release. His companion. His ally. I owe him at least that much.” The light paused for a long, breathless moment. Then it replied: Don’t fail this time. And Matt’s world began to change.

Thank you very much! -0- Chess players have no future in Indonesia! That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him.
