antihero

Men turned themselves into living weapons. Each one, an instrument of unending war. In a fractured world ruled by benefits and bloodshed. Cain Roosevelt is nobody. His upbringing might be a cut above the rest, but that means nothing without personal strength. Men aren't chosen by prophecy or fate. They carve out a name through contracts, strategy, and the right tools. This is a world where power is bought, friendship comes with a price tag, and death is a profitable business. He’s not here to be a hero. He’s just here to make money. But as ancient cultivators stir, demonic legacies awaken, and even the old gods rise again. Cain starts to wonder. Can a man still profit when everyone’s chasing the same prize?

Ever had that nightmare where you're trapped in a badly written fantasy novel? Yeah, that's my actual life now. Hi, I'm Kiriti Kolluru, professional author with 320+ chapters of reader-manipulating webnovel success under my belt. Or I was, until I had a heart attack while writing the most sincere line of dialogue in my career (the irony is not lost on me) and woke up as a scrawny teenager in Fantasy RPG World #7492. The good news: I understand narrative structures better than anyone. The bad news: My stats are so pathetically low, I wouldn't qualify as a background character in my own novels. STR: 1 AGI: 2 VIT: 1 INT: 3 LCK: 1 TOTAL: 8 That's right—I'm officially G-Rank, also known as "dungeon fodder," "monster bait," or "statistically irrelevant" depending on which bureaucratic euphemism you prefer. In a world where your worth is measured in numbers and nobles have stats in the hundreds of thousands, I'm what we writers call "dramatically doomed." Did I mention the only way to improve is killing monsters (for a measly 0.25 points) or murdering fellow humans in duels (for up to 1 whole point)? And that G-Ranks are systematically sacrificed to activate dungeon monsters for the higher ranks to farm? But here's the plot twist: I've spent my career manipulating fictional worlds from the outside. Now I'm going to hack this one from within. After all, every good story needs its villain. Or maybe its anti-hero. I haven't decided which role offers better statistical outcomes yet. Statistically Speaking, I'm Screwed is a darkly analytical take on the isekai/LitRPG genre that asks: What happens when the person who knows all the tropes becomes trapped in the most clichéd one of all—with the worst possible stats?

One Move; One Legend! In a world without boundaries, can he rise to the top on an irreversible path? Or will he fall into the abyss of oblivion? Where will the winding journey of Chiantai Wuji end? .

"Stop following me!" Asher yelled, his patience running thin. He had let it slide for too long because she had done a lot for him. But now she was everywhere, suffocating him. "I’m only trying to protect you," she responded. Asher sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I need some space, alright? I can take care of myself." She didn’t budge, and just kept staring at him with that same obsessive look, like she had no intention of leaving. "Is it because you’re strong now? Are you going to leave me because I'm no use to you anymore?” Her voice had turned cold, sharp enough to cut through the silence. “Of course not, you know that’s not the reason…” “Then why do you want me to stop following you?” “I’m just going to the restroom, for God’s sake!” He massaged his temple, clearly at his wit’s end. “Oh, you should have said that earlier.” She giggled, the earlier tension melting away. “I did,” he sighed in defeat.

"Surrender now, and you may live. Resist, and your soul may burn for eternity more." - The Wraith, a.k.a. Blaze Singer. In the morning, he's nothing more than a promising A-rank Awakened with his trusty sword, Sun Bird. In the night, he was the Wraith of Vengeance, the Butcher of Akansa, the Killer of All Evil. Blaze Singer was not a hero nor a villain. He only fought for who he believed in. He killed the stepfather that abused his mother. He wrecked the human-trafficking organization because they dared to take his friend. He resurrected the only good cop he knows and murdered all the remaining corrupt cops. What he did, he did not do for justice nor for the goodness of all. He killed them because he knew in his heart that it was the right thing. And slowly, the unhinged killer, the self-proclaimed Wraith, the shadow of the night, became the fearsome symbol that everyone was afraid of. Spoilers: - Mature story of violence, death, and gore. - MC is OP to an extent. His soloing power is average, but has the power to create clones and enslave souls -> He has lots of OP subordinates/henchmen. - MC will stay OP from beginning to start and has challenges here and there for realistic purposes. - Romance? Yes. Check the female supporting character. Side focus of the story only. - Harem? I haven't decided yet. - NTR? No

In a twisted, otherworldly competition, hundreds of humans are forced into a brutal survival game where death is real — and permanent. Trapped inside a nightmarish realm ruled by demonic forces, players must complete deadly challenges, form uneasy alliances, and face monsters far worse than death itself: each other. Among them, Sasuke, a disturbingly unpredictable player with a dark past and psychotic urges, walks the line between hero and villain. Orimya, Kinetsa, Rotina, and others try to survive not only the game but Sasuke's increasingly unhinged behavior. Meanwhile, powerful demons like Koir, Ris, and the fearsome King Kratos treat the game as sport — a chance to hunt humans for their amusement. But beneath the chaos, something deeper brews: old rivalries, human darkness, and the true meaning of power. As blood spills and alliances crumble, the question remains... Who will survive “The Game”? And at what cost?
