Tangerine Stone is an S tier trouble magnet with a hate for Tuesdays. Follow along as she joins a magic academy, makes friends with a brain slug, tries to understand her place in this new world, and hopefully flirts with some pretty girls. What to expect: GL, Tangerine is a big old disaster lesbian. All of the horny and no where to put it. No Harem or poly, Tang is a bit of a flirt, but if or when she settles down she is a *slightly* possessive one woman type of girl. This isn't really a Litrpg, but it gets kinda close, no stats but lots of collecting magic items. Tropes, yes! Its a portal adventure where Tangerine joins a magic academy, deal with almost Otome situations in a world that is discount MtG! How MtG? I'm being inspired by the cards but not the lore. There's no Jace hanging about here. I'm also shamelessly bringing in a lot of inspiration from other stuff I like! Super slow burn / slice of life. Each update is just another day, I picked this format because I have no plan, this a brain dead story. There will be some action and adventure hopefully some angst and drama too! Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer for tone. Weak to strong, kinda. More like unprepared to prepared. Single character first person focus, 99% of chapters will be from the perspective of Tangerine. I'm not going to say I will never do a different point of view, but it will be rare. No ai has touched this work, you can tell because of all the mistakes! Book one complete!

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
