Transmigrating only to end up in the body of a notorious and blacklisted dated movie queen? Accused of bribery, plastic surgery, being a mistress and diva, and even having sex for favors? The number one spoiled and domineering queen returns with a vengeance! To kick out the movie kings and queens and to dominate the entertainment industry! Nothing will stand in the way of the empress to get rid of that bastard emperor—not even transmigration! But… F*ck! What the hell? That darn husband of hers is the spitting image of that bastard emperor…

When the System descended and turned Earth into a dungeon-crawling death game, most people got combat classes—Warrior, Mage, Rogue. Takeshi got something different: Corporate Drone. While others gained flashy skills and legendary weapons, he received a briefcase, a tie that never wrinkles, and abilities like [Overtime Exploitation] and [Meeting Scheduler]. His employer? The Black Company, a ruthless interdimensional corporation that treats dungeon diving like just another day at the office, complete with quotas, performance reviews, and mandatory unpaid overtime in monster-infested hellscapes. But Takeshi isn't complaining. In his old life, he survived Japan's most brutal work culture, mastering the art of endurance, efficiency, and turning corporate BS into actual results. Now, those same skills that made him a salaryman legend are his path to power. Every monster killed is a KPI met. Every dungeon cleared is a project completed ahead of schedule. The Black Company doesn't care if he lives or dies. His party members think his class is a joke. But Takeshi has spent years climbing corporate ladders built on backstabbing and impossible deadlines. And while other adventurers burn out chasing glory, he grinds forward with the relentless, soul-crushing determination only a black company veteran possesses. Because in a world where everyone else is playing hero, sometimes the key to reaching the top is knowing how to work the system—literally.

This is a collection of reviews about the books I've read so far :)

Elijah lived in the magical world. He had no powers but his friend did. He had no parents as well. When he couldn't pay rent, he had to find a hotel. Other hotels were very expensive and asked his friends for help. They followed him to a hotel with no reviews. Just as his friends were about to leave, the door closed. They tried to find exits but couldn't find it. There were no receptionists, too. They knew their only way is... foward. *gulp*

"DANI! You need to come down here, I have something to tell you" Mom called while I was busy reading one of my collection books. I drop my book and run down the stairs before my mom decides to barge inside my room and take away my book. "Mom?" "Kitchen" She calls out "Whats wrong?" I asked the moment I saw her fidgeting, she looks to me and then she started tearing up. "Your father called" Just like always, this three words means more to our family than anyone else. My father was never with us, he was never around and the only time he calls us is if he wants something. But my Mom, well lets just say shes too nice that even if the guy has not showed up in years, she would still accept whatever his request is. "What is it this time?" I was annoyed "His coming back and he wants to see you" And just like that, my whole little normal slash crazy life went downhill. Who would have thought that a single person can stir my whole life into something else.

She desires to be crown as princess when she saw the Crown Prince. She fell in love with him the moment she saw him. She tried everything to have His Highness attention but then one day, he ignored her. "Crown Princess." She whispered.

"Es war ein Spiel des Überlebens". Im großen Reich von Alfaros herrschte Chaos. Prinz Regan war nach vier Jahren vom Schlachtfeld zurückgekehrt. Vor Jahren war er der schönste Prinz des Reiches gewesen. Ironischerweise war derselbe Prinz heute als "Der maskierte Prinz" bekannt. Es heißt, dass er eine riesige Narbe in seinem Gesicht hatte, einem Gesicht, das einst sehr schön war. Die Narbe war so entsetzlich, dass der Kaiser Angst bekam, als er sie sah, und ihn auf das Schlachtfeld schickte. Aber der Krieg war vorbei. Und er sollte zurückkehren. . . . Als er in die grünen Augen blickte, die beim Anblick seines vernarbten Gesichts nicht einmal zuckten, war Regan einen Moment lang überrascht. Zugleich blitzte etwas in seinen kalten Augen auf, als er sah, wie ruhig sie aussah. "Wie ist dein Name?" "Evelyn, Eure Hoheit." "Evelyn..." Regan schmeckte den Namen auf seinen Lippen. Seine roten Augen sahen in ihr Gesicht, das völlig leer war, und er sagte "Evelyn, du wirst von heute an meine persönliche Sklavin sein." Evelyn sah ruhig aus. Doch als die Zeit verging, merkte Evelyn, dass Regan mehr wollte. Viel mehr, als sie ihm geben konnte. Sie versuchte, ihn aufzuhalten. Aber was sollte sie tun, wenn der Prinz sein Herz mit Gewalt in ihre Hände legte und darauf bestand, ihres zu nehmen? Wird Evelyn sich dann entscheiden, wegzugehen oder weiterzuziehen? Vor allem in einer Zeit, in der die Schrecken ihrer Vergangenheit ihr Herz überschatten. __________ Diese Geschichte ist Teil des Gewinnspiels, wenn ihr also Spaß am Lesen habt, unterstützt bitte die Autorin.

Catalaya wurde, solange sie sich erinnern kann, von ihrer Familie und den Rudelmitgliedern gleichermaßen misshandelt und wie eine Sklavin behandelt. Warum sie das tun, hat sie keine Ahnung. Die einzigen Menschen, die für sie eintraten, waren ihre fünf besten Freunde und ihr Bruder. Nachdem sie vor dem ganzen Rudel von ihrem Gefährten gedemütigt und abgelehnt wird und erfährt, dass die Menschen, die sie großgezogen haben, nicht ihre Eltern sind, beschließt sie, dass es genug ist und läuft weg. Was sie nicht wusste: Ihr Leben hatte gerade erst begonnen und sie würde eine höllische Reise vor sich haben.

Flora Bloom, who was betrayed and killed by her boyfriend in her past life, is reborn with a peerless spatial dimension back to the time before the crisis, hoarding food, raising a child, and tearing apart scumbag men and manipulative women.
