Why Did I Write So Many Tropes?!

The author has found himself within his own work of fiction. A tale as old as web novels. Transmigrated into the body of an unknown side character, Mav is forced to come to terms with the world he created and the characters within. Flying cars, magical technology, and Gates leading to corrupted worlds? Mav only has one goal: survive. In order to accomplish this goal, he must grow, or he will die in the onslaught of the incoming Apocalypse-- according to the original plot, millions of Gates will open up across the world in four years and the demonic corruption will spread beyond the Gates. Many people will die and Mav’s existence indicates an unstoppable butterfly effect that may end with the main characters’ deaths. But he can’t help but start getting attached to the main cast. The stakes are rising as the people he has come to love are threatened. And Mav might be the only one who knows about the mysterious organization that is determined to tear everything down.

Things went south fast after confessing to his crush that turned him down and gets knocked unconscious when he got hit by a car. But what was bad turned to something unexplainable: he mysteriously wakes up in a world wherein he is seemingly the protagonist of a romantic comedy.

Has some regular tropes you would expect from these novels but the reason these tropes are popular is because they are interesting to read so I will be waiting for further updates of this book.

Another good book by The Plagiarist. This story is a combination of a lot of popular tropes that have been circulating in the top 100 chinese webnovels. It has lots of similarities with Lord of the Mysteries.

Hilarious and sometimes touching, with an understanding of aggravation and slapstick rarely seen in written works. This book serves as a roast of both cultivation fiction and isekai tropes.

Deliberately approach

So what if she was a white lotus? So what if they were childhood sweethearts? You didn't like Doctor Tan back then, and now you want to come back and snatch her away? I'm sorry, it's not that beautiful! This was the story of how a female streamer with a dark history managed to woo the cold, cold, and black-bellied Doctor Tan. He had finished writing the brain-burning, ten-year-old love story of Tan Ze's good friend, Zhou Jiaming's bitter love story," You Passed By ". Now, I want to see how the arrogant Doctor Tan's mask will be torn off bit by bit by the scheming woman, haha! This article is easy and doesn't burn your brain. It's for the time being, hehe! *** would definitely not end badly. I suggest that you read it after you finish collecting it. I also like reading novels. However, he hated updates the most. Because I keep chasing after them, I always forget the beginning...
