Dragged into the world of a tr*sh-tier light novel, I figured my new noble title would let me coast through life and dodge the tragic fate that originally awaited me. ... more>>

Step by step, I’m being pushed toward a future I never asked for.

Sweet words from the author before you dive in:

1. The story is written entirely in first person, but the “I” will switch between characters as the plot demands (the author is on the verge of a split personality).

2. When the protagonist gets knocked around, please cut him some slack. He’s just a regular guy and can’t always pick the perfect option. His late-game self will look very different from his early-game self.

3. Early chapters revolve around campus life and character drama. Fights are scarce; this isn’t a grind-for-XP adventure. Think of it as a Japanese school gal-game wearing a Western-fantasy skin.

4. The manuscript has already passed the one-million-word mark. Doesn’t that prove the author is now a properly trained digital author? <<less
