REALISTIC ISEKAI: I didn't read this in my novels!

He was a simple man in his past life – a masseuse, not a hero. His hands were trained to heal pain, not cause it. But when fate dragged him into another world, those same hands became the only thing keeping him alive. Unlike the chosen ones who gain holy blessings or unrivaled power, he has nothing but skill, wit, and stubbornness. He doesn’t seek glory, nor does he dream of leaving his name in history. But the world has other plans. A kingdom built on lies. Families fighting for power in the shadows. Betrayals hidden behind smiles. And he? He’s caught in the middle, forced to navigate schemes that could devour him whole. He isn’t the strongest. He isn’t the bravest. But sometimes, the man who doesn’t want the spotlight… is the one who survives it. ________ I get this alot so I'm going to clarify: This is not a smut novel, there will be romantic scenes but not as pronounced.

I'm in Otto, a red ball at the start

I'm Ye Fu. Coincidentally, there's a monster called Ye Fu in Ultraman's world. Perhaps it's a request from some author. I transmigrated. When I transmigrated and took a closer look, I couldn't help but shout,"Dog author, where's my system?" Don't ask, it's different if you ask. There was still a cheat, but it was not the system. There was only a magically modified red ball. Grizza? That's me…Grimud? That's me…Ampera? That was still me…Sometimes, I would turn into Ultraman and play the role of a hero of justice…But more often than not, it was just like my name…I was an unknown entity. There was no distinction between good and evil, and I acted according to my own will. I wander the universe, leaving my footprints and legends to them...(This story is purely fictional, if there is any similarity, find the author) Group ID:816684781

There is a tough man at the village entrance

Su Yu's reputation as a strict husband was famous in the village within a radius of five kilometers. The man cried bitterly that he did not marry such a good woman, and the woman despised her so much that she wanted to wake her up. In order to protect the status and dignity of women, the women came up with a plan. They would bring Su Yu to the Land of the Lust and let the tough man see that women were not easy to bully! Su Yu, who was pulled away, shook her head in fear. Sisters, you're not helping me, you're harming me, okay? Sure enough, as soon as they arrived, a man with a kitchen knife broke in. The gentle man's expression was ferocious. Su Yu complained about his sisters while pretending to be dead in a corner. The man picked her up by the back of her collar with one hand and slashed the knife on the table with the other. His cold gaze swept across the group of people who were dumbfounded and he took them away like a chicken. With a bang, the table split into two. Tuff, he really lived up to his reputation. Everyone instantly felt regret. However, with their actions, Brother Su would probably have to suffer a little. Everyone felt guilty. Brother Su, take care!
