Yuta Shido woke up as the president of a dead-broke animation studio in 2006 Tokyo. In his past life he was a key animator who had watched over a thousand anime, but the transmigration fried his memory and left him with only one genre intact: tearjerkers. Armed with a mountain of debt and a head full of masterpieces, he set out to produce anime so devastating it would make entire audiences weep and drag the industry to its knees. Standing in his way are ruthless producers, corporate snakes, and rival studios that would love to see Starfall buried before it got started. None of it matters. He's going to force his way to the top of the anime world, one heartbreaking classic at a time. —————— [CLANNAD] [Code Geass] [AnoHana: The Flower We Saw That Day] [K-On!] [Shakugan no Shana] [And MORE] This is a translation of Chinese fanfic.

Liam is a sixteen-year-old boy trying to live what should be an ordinary life. But something about him is fundamentally different. In a world where emotions define human connection, Liam doesn’t experience them the way others do. Instead, he studies them — quietly and carefully — learning how to replicate what he observes in order to survive among people. A mask is not a choice for him. It is a necessity. When his parents decide to change his school, hoping to give him a “normal life,” he is placed into a new environment where blending in becomes even more crucial. But the deeper he integrates, the harder it becomes to tell where the mask ends… and where he begins. Because Liam isn’t trying to become someone else. He’s trying to become what people expect a human to be. And sometimes, even he can’t tell the difference anymore. In a world where being yourself comes at a price, Liam is forced to hide who he truly is. But as the weight of pretending grows heavier, one question remains: will he keep performing until he reaches what he wants… or will he collapse before he ever gets there? #psychological#no-harem#pragmatic-protagonist#neutral-protagonist

Alice Moretti was never meant to be part of the game. When her father gambles away everything, he offers her as a final move. An asset in a world where people are traded like currency. But Alice refuses to be claimed. She escapes, risking everything to elope with the only man she trusts, Jared. Only for her to discover that her freedom was the real trap. In a foreign land, Jared reveals his true nature: not her savior, but her captor. Bound to his ruthless criminal empire, Alice is stripped of her choices, her identity, and her future. But he underestimates one thing, her mind. Because Alice isn’t the kind of woman who breaks. She watches. She learns. She waits. And when she finally strikes, it’s not just for revenge, it’s for power. As she turns Jared’s empire against him, dismantling everything he built, Alice rises from captive to conqueror, proving that the most dangerous player in the game isn’t the one who holds the chains… …but the one who knows exactly how to break them.

Or at least, that's how he remembers it, now that he's woken up twelve years in the past. Back to the moment when he still had a chance to change everything he thought had gone wrong. Forget the incurable disease. Forget the mystery of how he regressed. Forget even the holographic screen flashing in the corner of his vision. What matters now is the quest he's on—and the girl he's running toward. She had stayed by his side even when he had nothing. She forgave him for the foolishness that had torn them apart.

Even if it cost him his life… or someone else's. [Warning: Contains Mature, Sexual, and Violence content.] This book will have a lot of mature and sexual content.

Raphael Lee, reborn and dead-set on conquering Hollywood. He already had the ultimate head start: killer looks and the kind of deep-rooted industry connections that practically guaranteed success. But his real edge didn't kick in until his eighteenth birthday. That was the day he unlocked the power to literally dream himself into the movies. Whenever he woke up, reality warped. He seamlessly replaced the original protagonist, taking over as the film's real-world lead. Better yet, he didn't return empty-handed. He could pull superhuman abilities and impossible artifacts right out of the silver screen. Hollywood had seen its share of rising stars, but it was nowhere near ready for a heavyweight like him.
