Micha, a shy and unassuming omega, has one goal: to get through the Draedor Magic Academy without anyone discovering his true identity. But when his counselor forces him into a combat class, he is paired with the one person he fears most: Ronak, the dominant alpha with a volatile temper and a soul-piercing gaze. Their first sparring session is a disaster, leading to a dangerous confrontation that leaves Micha's defenses—and his composure—in shambles. However, Ronak's overpowering pheromones awaken a surprising attraction in Micha, which he desperately tries to deny. Ronak, too, finds himself inexplicably drawn to the "pipsqueak" who is the only omega whose scent doesn't disgust him. As their relationship evolves from animosity to a hesitant alliance, they find themselves caught in a dangerous web of political intrigue, familial betrayal, and an unbreakable bond that threatens to expose Micha's secrets and challenge Ronak's ruthless nature. In a world of magic and ancient grudges, the most challenging battle they face may not be against their enemies, but against the fierce, untamable bond growing between them.

Her fate had never looked so bleak. Adelheid, disgusted, stood before the doorstep of an ugly and corrupt lord. An abomination so reviled, the entire empire recoiled with disgust at the mention of his name. From her left, a voice cleared their throat. "Milady, the Archduke, your now rightfully wedded husband, will return by noon for your bedding ceremony. He had.. pressing matters." Adelheid frowned deeply at the butler. "Rightfully wedded husband?" She shook her head, tightening her brows further, before raising a finger, on it a large diamond ring glistered. "Is that why I was brought here? You must be deeply mistaken. I am married to the King. Not that malformed war-gremlin." ~~

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 :)

Qin Yao opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world into the body of an ancient peasant woman. Her family consists of four stepchildren needing care. A good-for-nothing husband, who has nothing but looks, is causing a ruckus. They live in a thatched hut, without a grain of rice, the family is emaciated like refugees. If that wasn't enough, someone even comes to collect debts! Anger rises in Qin Yao's heart, and she kicks the wretched husband out, "Debt collector, feel free to just beat him to death!" The four stepchildren: !!! With the world quieted, Qin Yao rolls up her sleeves to revive the family. Hunting, carrying bags, fighting bandits, she's an expert in all. But facing the fields, with her back to the sky, and her face to the earth, even a top-tier fighter from the post-apocalyptic world waves her hand: Can't take it! Really can't take it! Qin Yao scratches her head: In the ancient times where agricultural taxes are extremely high, how can I avoid farming? At this moment, the lazy husband who was sent away to die (twisting and crawling) (struggling to stand up) (screaming and roaring): My dear! I think I can be saved!

Shocking! The rough husband is the hidden master in the time-travel novel. She is the sacrificial victim for the male lead's pursuit of true love, the pitiful person who transforms grief and indignation into motivation, the obsessive person who constantly wants to slap the male lead's face with money, the lemon essence contrasting the female lead’s gentleness and generosity. Xu Qinghuan: Emma, is this talking about me? Xu Qinghuan transmigrated into a book, into a time-travel novel written by her best friend, where her father died early, her mother remarried, and she was raised in her second uncle's home since childhood. Her cousin and fiancé are entangled? "Break off the engagement, whoever wants the central air conditioner can take it!" Her biological mother manipulates her with work? Isn't it just going to the countryside? The Great Northeast's black land is fertile, where every year you can lie on the heated kang and eat for half the year. Which corporate slave wouldn’t love it? Most importantly, there is a big shot she wants to cling to. Jiang Xingye is someone that even the male lead admires, the future global richest man, the hidden master in the book. After going to the countryside, Xu Qinghuan goes straight to Jiang Xingye. Her original plan was to be a little follower for the big shot and never thought of developing an inappropriate relationship with him. When the man gruffly raises his eyebrows and coaxingly tells her to hold on a little longer, she only wants to ask: What about being wealthy and detached? What about having a strong career ambition and no time for romance? What about being a 007 workaholic who doesn’t even return home?
