No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!
In her pursuit of saving enough money to return home, Hannah found herself playing the role of the "first-love" character in a beloved novel. Originally, this character was a typical stand-in supporting actress, taking on various substitutes for the female lead as dictated by the male protagonists, such as donating kidneys or sparing road for the female lead, which she all agreed. Eventually, the original character succumbed to the pressure, turning dark and meeting a tragic demise with a disfigured face on the streets after being killed by the male protagonists.
Hannah's task was to follow this grim plotline and achieve the tragic story's intended outcome. However, in the eyes of George River, she was merely a substitute he had enlisted—an entity dependent on him. When his true love returned, he callously abandoned the woman who deeply loved him. Later, he regretted his decision, only to discover that the once-begging woman was now surrounded by various exceptional men.
The individuals who had previously used her as a shield—the movie king, the ambitious young actor who climbed over her for his ideal goddess, and the president who regretted his actions upon regaining his memory—all found themselves humbly pleading for her affection: "Hannah, the one I love is you." Confused by the sudden turn of events, Hannah observed her bank account steadily growing and stumbled upon a newfound skill for crafting tragic stories.
As the main antagonist who successfully survived until the end of the story, Arnold Simmons was ruthless, dark, and violent. In his eyes, Hannah appeared to be the most naive woman he had ever encountered, her thoughts consumed solely by love. Witnessing her continuous deception by those around her, Arnold eventually reached a breaking point and seized her, declaring, "Stay by my side; let me handle your tasks."
[A seemingly fragile flower with an inner strength, Daughter of the Sea, crosses paths with an obsessed, dark, and sinister antagonist who contemplates disrupting the pond of bred fish every day.]

What shamelessness! An author reviewing his own work? —some reader probably. Well, this may be a biased review but I hope you stick with me on this one. This book is a spirit contestant in the virtual reality section... and what better way to depict virtual reality than showing something that we humans know and have?! That's right, dreams... lucid dreams. A dream where you can bend the wills of reality and you can be whatever you want. That's what a lucid dream is. If you have experienced it, then you're one of the chosen ones! I'm kidding ahaha. I remember, the first thing I did when I had a lucid dream was master the ability of flight and remodeled the world by filling it with zombies and having a fight to the death with them. What are your lucid dream experiences? Share them in the comments and I'll gladly talk about lucid dreams with you hehe :) This book is a representation of my wish to the future. I know that games are advancing too much these days we typically already have the means to have a VRMMORPG, but accessing lucid dreams is still a far-fetched idea. However! That' what novels are for, and that's why I'm writing this book where everything can be a reality— in your lucid dreams of course. To explain the concept, here are some pointers. — Character building at the first few chapters so no catchy fight scenes yet — It may be confusing and may seem like a mishmash of genres but they all vortex to a single point in the story. In other words, everything in this book is connected so there will be no plot holes left unturned. — Backstories wouldn't be shown just yet! — And the last selling point... IT'S LUCID DREAMS! Who doesn't want that? And that's all for my shameless review. I hope you give this novel a try and I hope you enjoy your stay in the Lucid Dream Server :)
