“Go Yohan, you really are a terrible bastard.”... more>>

“I can’t help it. Bullying is more fun than being bullied.”

Despite his outer appearance of a kind model student, Kang Jun was filled to the brim with an inferiority complex.

As he advanced into his second year, he grew closer to Go Yohan, who was in the same class as him.

“I’ll treat you especially different.”

At some point, as if it were only natural, Go Yohan claimed his seat at the very summit of the pyramid inside the school.

He, whose second nature seemed to be ignoring and suppressing others, showed interest in Kang Jun.

Kang Jun, who was subtly ignored by his friends for being weak, didn’t dislike Go Yohan’s interest, but…

Eighteen, the period where one’s pride took the lead and held fear of crossing the line.

Kang Jun had to make a choice to survive.

A very wise choice. <<less

I’ve transmigrated into the body of a maid who gives her heart and soul to a villainous duke, only to be used and then killed.... more>>

Originally, Roselia’s fate as a maid in the duke’s household was to serve as his pawn, get caught by the male lead Crown Prince, and be executed.

To avoid the villainous duke’s attention, she decides to disguise herself as a man.

'But wait... why...?'

'Why is he still taking me along even though I’m in disguise?!'

Somehow, she ends up becoming a servant, not a maid, in the duke’s household.

"Your Grace...?"

She could feel his heated breath on her forehead. Her heart raced wildly, fearing he might discover the chest tightly bound in layers of fabric.

"I told you, Antonio. I'm excellent at finding things people try to hide."

The way he spoke made it seem like he was talking about her concealed chest, sending a cold sweat down her spine. Klaus's warm lips hovered dangerously close to her ear.

"I need to find out what you're hiding."

The heat of his breath against her ear and the press of his thigh against hers felt scorching. She met Klaus’s piercing navy eyes, her confusion mirrored in his intense gaze.

It felt like an invisible thread, taut with tension, precariously connected them.

Inwardly, Roselia screamed in distress at her precarious predicament.

She had been living an ordinary college student’s life, but now she was thrown into the era of the Three Kingdoms.

“Um… which country is this?”

“It’s Han (漢). Were you not even aware of where you were?”

As if surviving as a woman in this harsh environment wasn’t difficult enough, a crow named Jao informed her that, as “Alice,” she must kill her nemesis, the “Queen,” to survive.

Determined, Dongbaek disguised herself as a man, entered the household of the powerful Zhang Rang as his adopted son, and began gathering talented figures from the Three Kingdoms one by one, eventually earning the emperor’s favor.

People with the ability to hunt mutants, Mansaengjong.... more>>

One day, they suddenly found themselves isolated in Naraka.

Seowoon was once called a highest-ranked and known for his excellent combat capabilities, but he suddenly lost all of those abilities after being isolated in Naraka. Instead, he gained the ability to detect the emergence of mutants through the “Messenger”.

To escape Naraka, a by-product of mutants called wu ore was needed. However, Seowoon would die even if he just brushed against a mutant, let alone hunting them.

Upon learning this fact, Cahaya made a proposal to him:

“Cha Seowoon, from now on, be my mutant searcher?”

With Cahaya’s help, Seowoon was able to travel back and forth to Seoul, but he found it more and more difficult.

Love is like Jenga.... more>>

Even if it looks perfect at first,

gaps begin to form, and eventually, it collapses.

Cha Seon-woo, a promising announcer at TBC

had always believed that.

But when Kyu-won, who once claimed to have fallen for him at first sight,

reappears before his eyes as a journalist at TBC,

showering him with an intense yet suspicious courtship,

he finds himself drawn into this precarious game…

"Ha, what exactly is it that you want to do with me?"

"Jenga. Burning hot."

A Brief Excerpt

“I asked if you’ve ever been in love. Have you ever started building something, from design to construction, and completed it?”

“Why is that so important to you?”

Seon-woo turned his back on Kyu-won. He seemed parched, searching for a water bottle. His fingers fumbled several times as he twisted the cap, and even after finally managing to open it and pouring the water down his throat, his thirst remained unsatisfied. He frowned. But when he looked back at Kyu-won, his smile was as smooth as ever, just like when he stood on stage.

“I feel like I’ve begun constructing a building.”

“Ah, I see. That’s wonderful. Congratulations.”

“I love you, Cha Seon-woo. I fell in love at first sight.”

Love at first sight.

Seon-woo, sipping lukewarm water, wrinkled his brow as if in regret. <<less

“I want to have a romcom-like experience.”

Haven’t all romcom lovers who enjoy light novels thought this before? Being all lovey-dovey with the heroine, and leading a fulfilling high school life with the best of friends.

I have no younger step-sister, no childhood friend, no classmate who’s an idol, no mysterious senpai, and not even a male best friend character. That being the case, what can I do? Obviously, I have to put it together myself! For a romantic comedy, you need both data analysis and constant practice! As well as…

Smart, refined, and strikingly gorgeous, Alisa Mikhailovna Kujou, half-Russian and half-Japanese, is considered the idol of her school. Adorned with long silver hair, mesmerizing blue eyes, and exceptionally fair skin, she has captured the hearts of countless male students while being highly admired by all others. Even so, due to her seemingly unapproachable persona, everyone remains wary around the near-flawless girl.... more>>

One of the only few exceptions from such a norm is Alisa’s seatmate, Masachika Kuze—a relatively average boy who spends his days watching anime and playing gacha games. Despite his nonchalant demeanor, Masachika is the sole student to receive Alisa’s attention. Unable to be fully honest, Alisa is frequently harsh on Masachika, resorting to Russian to express her affection. Unbeknownst to her, however, Masachika actually understands the language yet simply pretends otherwise for his own amusement.

‘Anyhow … I think I transmigrated into a romance fantasy novel.’... more>>

The problem is—I opened my eyes in a wake room. Within a coffin. At the funeral of this body’s owner. To make matters worse, I had read so many novels that I couldn’t remember which one I was in.

‘Ta-da~ you thought I was dead, right? I was not!’

On the other hand, I think I’m a villainess. My family is cold-hearted, and the servants shrink and shun me, often crying while looking at the air next to me. But it doesn’t matter! I’ll exploit my master in romance fantasy to get rid of my villainess tag!

But then, I found a strange pattern.

“What exactly is this?”

[How to summon •••]

‘Is it summoning formation to summon something like spirits or dragons? That’s good. A villainess needs at least one ability to protect herself.’

“Meow~”

‘But why was I chosen by a three-eyed leopard-patterned cheese cat, rather than spirits or dragons? Well, it doesn’t matter because it’s cute!’

A monster lives in Count Rohanson’s household. A creature lurking beneath the skin of the late Lady Evangeline.

“I’m Gabriel, commander of Paralos Knights. I’d like to know more about young lady Rohanson.”

‘Knight Commander, pitch black hair, azure eyes … Gabriel must be the male lead!’

“How foolish. You don’t even know your place. I’m not interested in you.”

“It doesn’t matter. I’m just curious about you.”

‘How come? Aren’t I the villainess? Go find your partner, the female lead!’

My aim is to use my summoning circle to protect myself! I’ll also look after Pudding the cat and Jelly the werewolf.

“By the way … why does everyone keep trembling whenever they see me?”

The S-Class guilds, High Tower and Ghost Eye, are notorious archrivals, having battled for years in the Alliance’s dungeon crystal ore market.... more>>

High Tower’s little young master, Lance, is a black lotus—calculating and ruthless beneath a harmless, sickly exterior.

Ghost Eye’s eldest young master, Zhan Pingchuan, is a classic “white cut black”—outwardly lazy and nonchalant, inwardly sharp and unfathomable.

Both conceal their identities to enroll in Star University, only to be assigned as roommates. Their pheromone compatibility? 100%. They share a kiss on day one.

Lance’s father: “Use your break to go undercover next door. Know your enemy, know yourself, and you’ll never lose.”

Zhan’s father: “Hide your identity, head across the hall, and get the lay of the land.”

After a night of tasting the marrow and knowing the flavor, Zhan Pingchuan strokes Lance’s delicate back and messages HR: “My wife, Lance, comes from a humble background and is frail. Take care of him, don’t let him suffer.”

The next morning, Lance tucks Zhan Pingchuan in and calls his sister: “My boyfriend, Zhan Pingchuan, is strong but sloppy. Give him a top salary so he has money to date me.”

Soon, the two great guilds are set to negotiate. Rumor has it, the heirs will attend.

Hundreds of media outlets wait with bated breath.

On the fateful day, the two heirs meet at the negotiation table. Tension crackles, war is about to erupt.

After a long silence, Lance moves.

Face icy, about to sit, when Zhan Pingchuan suddenly commands, “Don’t move!”

Zhan’s father: My son has a powerful aura!

Zhan Pingchuan strides over, unbuttons his bespoke suit worth over 100,000 credits, and tosses it—under Lance’s chair.

Zhan Pingchuan: “You’re just going to sit on such a hard chair without checking?”

Lance: “……”

Both fathers: “?”

[The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent.

The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, is destroyed by assassins.

The bigger problem is the fact that this s*upid tr*sh who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp.
