Lee Jae-hoon had lived his entire life with a dirt spoon. When he reopened his eyes after briefly closing them in the library, exhausted from overwork, he found himself reborn as the eldest son of the wealthiest family in ancient Rome. A new life had begun once more. This time, he would live properly, spending money without restraint, to his heart’s content. Or would he... .... Hi, Shallowman here) I tried to use the precedented title "The Mad Tycoon of Rome", there is already a discontinued translation with this title on here, and naming slightly different wouldn't sit well with me. So I checked. It seems like the title going around is actually incorrect. And so here we are) You can glean my thoughts on the novel in reviews below

From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible, drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive, I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro, the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva, is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny, one disastrous choice at a time.

Summoner Guild Online was supposed to be the launch of the century. For millions of players, it was the ultimate escape. A world of endless adventure, legendary loot, and guild wars that would make history. But for Kai Grimer, it became a death trap. He doesn't spawn in the starting village like the others. Instead, he wakes up in the suffocating darkness of the Tutorial Dungeon—not as a player, but as the final boss. An NPC designed to be slaughtered by wave after wave of newbies farming their first XP. The logout button doesn't work. The system won't respond. And if he dies here, there's no respawn. Desperate and hunted, Kai activates his only skill, [Grand Summon]. It's a gamble: sacrifice XP to pull a random servant from across dimensions. He's hoping for something useful. A knight. Maybe a mage. Even a halfway-decent slime would do. What he gets instead is Lyra, the Abyssal Empress. [Rating: 9999 Class: World-Ending Calamity Danger Level: Apocalypse-Tier.] She's devastatingly beautiful. Unimaginably powerful. And completely, utterly insane. She despises humanity, mocks the system, and has enough power to crack continents in half. But thanks to the summoning contract, she has one unbreakable rule: absolute obedience to Kai. And somehow, that obedience has twisted into something far more dangerous—obsession. But Kai isn't running anymore. With each wave of players he defeats, he earns XP. With each summon he pulls, his army grows. Knights. Demons. Spirits. Beasts. And perhaps... more dangerous beauties who don't appreciate Lyra's self-proclaimed monopoly on their Master's attention. [You have defeated 47 Players] [New Summon Available] Trapped between overpowered summons fighting for his favor, guilds hunting his legend, and a game system that's starting to break under his existence, Kai has one goal: He won't just survive Summoner Guild Online. He'll conquer it. And if a few world-ending beauties want to fight over him along the way? Well, that's just part of being the strongest summoner.

​"Die with your majesty intact," he whispered before the blade pierced her heart. ​Evangeline Hart was the Tyrant Queen—feared by her people and betrayed by her King. In her final moments, her only ally was the man she never took seriously: Silver, the court Jester. ​Now, she is back. Two years before the fires. Two years before her execution. ​With the memories of her bloody end and a Joker hidden in her sleeve, Evangeline won't just survive—she will dismantle the deck and rewrite the rules of the game. This time, the Queen won't be a pawn in anyone's play.

Death was supposed to be the end. For Loyed Stoner, it was an invitation. Betrayed by the woman he loved and murdered beneath a moonlit skyline, Loyed awakens not in an afterlife but in an ancient tomb—face to face with Elisia Grandore, the sealed Infinity Witch. Bound by divine chains and bored beyond eternity, she offers him a pact not for his soul but for something far rarer: entertainment. Armed with power that has slain kings, demon lords, and heroes alike, Loyed is given a choice: fade into nothing, or seize a power capable of reshaping destiny itself. As Loyed walks a world of magic, monsters, and endless war eventually adopting the name Nova—he learns that power always demands a price, and the deeper he sinks into darkness, the harder it becomes to remember who he was before the blade answered his call. This is the story of a man who died weak… and rose determined to remake a world he knew nothing about—no matter the cost. Warning: Dark fantasy with violence, gore, morally grey characters, and supernatural themes. Reader discretion advised. [Nova Chronicles is not a rush-to-power story. It focuses on atmosphere, character psychology, and long-term buildup. Payoff exists, but it’s earned. If you’re here for depth over speed, welcome.] discord: https://discord.gg/G7rfAuFG4

The world didn't end with a bang. It grew. On the day of the "Great Expansion," Earth’s surface area expanded by 1,000 times. Puddles became oceans, hills became unclimbable peaks, and cities were torn apart and scattered across a new, savage wilderness. Physics changed. Technology failed. And then, everything started to evolve. A house cat became a saber-toothed phantom. An ant became a tank-sized siege beast. Humans... humans were at the bottom of the food chain. Enter Ronan. In his past life, he was a warlord who conquered the "Red Waste," only to die because he hit his genetic limit. He was strong, but he had evolved wrong. He had chosen the "Berserker" path, a dead-end evolution that consumed his life force. Reborn 24 hours before the Expansion, Ronan has one goal: Perfection. This time, he won’t be a brute. He has the [Archive of Species], a mental library of every evolutionary recipe in history. While others are terrified of the giant spiders, Ronan is hunting them to extract their venom glands because he knows that mixing Spider Venom + Blue Lotus + Level 5 Core = Unlock Hidden Lineage: Shadow Weaver. He doesn't just want to survive. He wants to build a sanctuary in this massive new world and evolve into a god.

Apologetic to the person whose body he took over and thankful for a chance to live again, Angel vows to achieve all of his dreams and, in the process, prevents the destruction of the world and figures out why he was giving this new lease of life.

Henry Lukas was nothing special. A loner. A failure. A guy whose biggest achievement was surviving one more day in a world that never gave a damn about him. Bullied, humiliated, betrayed; he’d stopped believing in dreams, people, or even himself. That is, until the day a goddess smiled as he died. Now, he's been selected by the Goddess of Mischief to become a Dimensional Journeyman—a wanderer across chaotic worlds filled with monsters, magic, and madness. Armed with only a random Aspect and the ability to choose his starting world, Henry’s second life begins with a twisted gift: He must pick one of five wildly different routes, each more insane than the last. 1. Dual Leveling in the Apocalypse: A ravaged Earth where monsters reign and only those who can level twice can hope to survive. 2. Heaven's Descent: Gods descend, civilizations crumble, and faith becomes a weapon. 3. Rebirth: Dual Cultivator: In a lust-fueled cultivation realm, power and passion go hand in hand. 4. Combat Slave Harem: A brutal world ruled by strength and conquest. The more you dominate, the stronger you become. 5. Re: Vampire and Dragon: A war-torn fantasy where immortals rule, and only forbidden bloodlines can challenge fate. But is this truly a second chance... or just another cruel joke? With no one to trust, memories soaked in pain, and a goddess who clearly enjoys watching him squirm, Henry will have to carve his own path in worlds more twisted than fiction. Revenge, power, women, freedom, purpose; whatever it is he seeks, he’ll have to earn it. Because this time, the fate destiny won't break him. This time… he’ll break free from his destiny. --- Tags: Isekai, Antihero Protagonist, Dark Fantasy, Slave Harem (Gradual), Revenge, Leveling Systems, Multiple Worlds, Emotional Trauma, Ruthless MC, Psychological Growth, NSFW (After 20) --- If You're a reader who enjoy brutal isekai with emotional depth, morally grey decisions, and worlds that push both power and sanity to the limit.

[Warning Mature Content - R18+] "System: Target identified. Species: Obsidian Panther. Seductiveness Rating: 98. Task: Secure a high-quality heir within 24 hours to unlock the 'Indoor Plumbing' blueprint." Mei Lin didn't ask to die in a freak interior design accident, and she certainly didn't ask to be dropped into a world of dirt, furs, and desperate, half-naked beastmen. But the Tribe Restoration System has made its terms clear: Rebuild the dying Broken-Horn Tribe, or perish along with it. For a woman who appreciates the finer things in life—namely silk sheets and incredibly fit men—the mission is a dream wrapped in a dusty nightmare. The tribe is on the brink of extinction, female births have ceased, and the males are as frustrated as they are fierce. They see Mei Lin as their "Divine Savior," a goddess sent to pull them from the brink of ruin. Mei Lin is happy to play the part, provided the candidates meet her standards. She has no interest in primitive chemistry or reinventing the wheel; she’d much rather earn a system-generated "Automatic Heating Nest" by spending a night (or three) with a pair of silver-furred wolf brothers. As the tribe grows from a collection of hovels into a sprawling, stone-hewn empire, Mei Lin’s harem expands with it. From the stoic Lion Alpha who can’t handle her teasing, to the vain Eagle Scout who begs for his turn in her bed, Mei Lin balances the demands of kingdom building, the chaos of raising high-potential beast babies, and the exhausting "duty" of handling multiple partners at once. In this world, survival isn't about the fittest—it’s about who can keep up with Mei Lin. ----- A/N: This is a REVERSE HAREM novel that will contain a LOT of SMUT and POLYAMORY with SEXY BEASTMEN! Yes, this is definitely an erotica!

Upon opening his eyes, Xu Ping becomes a spirit farmer in the cultivation world. By chance, he awakens the proficiency panel: From the Spirit Rain Skill that assists in the growth of spirit rice, to the earth-shattering Star Splitting Finger, everything is in his reach by constant practice. "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xu's Spirit Rain Skill to break through silently, truly a sudden accomplishment!" Old Man Lu wore a fawning look on his face. "Luck, just luck," Xu Ping said modestly. "This isn't just luck. If breaking through the Spirit Rain Skill were based on luck, countless people would have done it. Fellow Daoist Xu relies on talent..."

Ning Zheng has transmigrated into a cultivation world and is able to reap fortune the native inhabitants--ghosts and cultivators. After using a large amount of fortune he stores, he could now summon players into this world and exploit their fortune as well. He thought ghosts were the most dreadful thing he ever met before he sees what the players are doing. "This Sword Casting Manor reminds me of Paru Simulator." "Mining, smithing, moving bricks, building houses." "We live as blacksmiths, we die as material for casting and our souls could be used as Artifact Spirits."

A particle physicist with an eidetic memory is reincarnated into a world where magic is real. Born into the Empire’s upper nobility, Ezra Blackfyre quickly learns that power isn’t earned by talent alone—it’s negotiated through bloodlines, oaths, and brutal politics. As his family is pulled into rising conflicts and assassination games, Ezra must grow stronger fast… without becoming a pawn. Armed with modern scientific knowledge and relentless curiosity, he approaches magic like physics—testing, refining, and weaponizing it. To survive, Ezra will build technology, forge new methods of combat, and reshape his domain from the ground up—while the Empire’s great houses close in around him. --- Finally Got around to rebooting this. I have fleshed out more chapters, for those who have come across this before, yes I didn't drop this. It just really took time to organize the magic system, the world building and characters. The chapters that have been read before are mostly relevant still but there will be arcs in between the previous time skip. For those who are new, this is going to be a slow burn kingdom building novel. Please leave feedback or any comments, they are much appreciated.
