world hopping, male MC, System
616 feels that as a 24-carat pure Bad Man System, bad men's tasks are much better than being a goody-two-shoes. It can be completed by just pulling any passerby. However, it pulled Lu Ze.
616: "Ahhhhh, why you are doing this? Why are you spoiling her?! You're a bad man, it's just a matter of letting her die!!!"
Lu Ze had an innocent expression: "Yes, ah... I'm a bad man. Didn't you hear my wife scolded me for being naughty last night?"
#who said a man can't be pampered by his wife's family#
#how the scum man doesn't collapse; but spoils his wife, younger sister, and parents#
#the proud man spoils his wife daily#
Hmm... its okay. I still like the way our MC completes the task with a twist/takes advantage of the loophole to complete the task.
Our MC's Hosts/the 'original' he replaces are MOSTLY SCUMS so all their wishes are also bad/scummy.
- Original is a Phoenix man. He is poor so he especially picked a naïve wealthy wife to get married to. Laters, he stole from the company and got entangled with his 'white moonlight'. White moonlight's husband attacks their company. Wife finds out about his cheating and stealing money. Wife divorces him. Original's wish is to take over his wife's company =_= and make white moonlight's husband experience bankruptcy. (#Spoiler MC still marries the wealthy wife and creates a company even bigger than their family's company. Laters, they 'exchanged' companies. Wife's company was taken over by MC (Yay!) while MC's bigger company is now owned by his wife.)
- Original is a 'good man'. He tried to be good to his orphaned nephew but nephew is still dissatisfied/suspicious that he's after his inheritance. He tried to be a good father but original's son is selfish and inconsiderate. He can only see his mother working hard at home, but never thinks of his Dad, working hard outside. Dissatisfied with original for 'not always being there'. He is a good husband but original's wife is never content, she is constantly complaining complaining complaining as if she's the only one who has it hard in their family. For short, all problems/dissatisfactions in the family is the fault of the original. In the end, our 'Good Man' original Host ended miserably. After death, his wish is to be a 'Bad Man' like everyone claimed him to be. (#Spoiler. MC stops taking care of the nephew, divorces his wife and lives his own life. He became successful and no longer cared about them. Love it!)
- Original is a NEET Shopaholic. Took in a lot of debts. His wife and parents either died/ended miserably because of the debt collectors. After he died, his wish is to become rich for a lifetime. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻. MC came. Original's previous wife was reborn, she married her sister to MC and then married her sister's previous life husband who she knows will be rich. (Gaah. Another scum). #Spoiler MC tries to make his family rich by giving his parents dreams to find antiques or to help rich old ladies or to buy rising stocks, but they. just. won't. get. rich. Don't want to sell stuff robbed from the grave or accept money given due to gratitude for their help or buying the wrong stocks cos the teller misread their handwriting). Finally, MC made the stock of the company they mistakenly bought rise in price.

- Original is a book villain. He is the Regent, Book ML is the young emperor. Book FL is the transmigrated heroine. Original and Emperor fought but because of the original's feelings for the Empress Dowager, the ML still won in the end. After dying, original learned that this was just a book, and he was too stupid in the past life. His wish is to become the Emperor, not just the Regent. Must become ruthless, not influenced by feelings! I really like this arc. MC suppresses others thru force or the law (well, ancient times law) but no petty drugging, scheming, using tears, beauty, or affection like in other palace dramas. (Finally!) He is especially ruthless here, really a BAD MAN! XD
- Original is an idiot and was led by the nose by a green tea bitch into assisting her love and career while destroying the original's family. He was already married but still got involved with the green tea bitch. Since they can't be together uprightly, he showered the mistress with resources as compensation. Then when his wife got into an accident and went into coma, the green tea says she felt 'guilty' and broke up with the original and married a real estate Boss. Meanwhile, original keeps hating on his wife for getting in the way of his 'true love'. His wish is to divorce his wife, marry his green tea True Love, and assists her career. (WTF?!!!) MC comes in and takes the OG with him by letting him give up part of his soul (OG's soul is incomplete, he can't be human in the next life), letting him see the true face of his cheap 'true love' .
- Original is the Spare Tire of the female lead in a dogblood drama. After he didn't get the FL, he blackened and became the villain then got defeated by the male lead. His wish is to revenge. Anyway, this world was so bad. The FL is killing my braincells. MC comes in and stops being a spare tire, letting them love-hate on their own while also revenging from time to time. After suppressing the male lead, the 'world' recognized our MC as the Male Lead instead, then the FL started to change her brainless personality, becoming cunning instead and revenges on the ex-male lead.
- Original has an adoptive brother. Because adoptive brother's Mom saved his life when he was baby, his parents said that the whole family should be grateful to him, giving him whatever he wants. The adoptive brother grew up lazy and wasteful, he squeezed his adoptive parents and brothers all his life. Original is already married and his family was destroyed by his adoptive brother's problems. His wish is to become a white-eyed wolf so he won't have to care about the adoptive brother anymore and can take care of his own family. MC comes in, and lived his own life (Yaaas!) and became successful. Unfortunately, the original's parents can't be saved, they continued serving the adoptive brother till the end.

- Original is a conman who swindles people by pretending to be a lawyer. Then conman was suddenly killed. His wish is to find out who killed him. MC comes in and retrace his steps, setting up cons and swindling bad people, until he found out the 'culprit'. This mission world was a success.
- Original is a patriarchal dad who has a son and daughter. He is lazy and unsuccessful. His son followed him and also grew up as a waste. Only the daughter was successful. When the son was sent to jail, she refused to help. Original's wish is to train his son into a real talent and that the daughter should wholeheartedly help his brother, get 500,000 yuan bride price so his brother can buy a house and get married (blech). MC comes in and trains his son as a talent while letting the daughter free to pursue her own interest. He is strict/hard on the son cos 'he's a man'. The daughter sees his partiality so she wholeheartedly helps her brother. The son is actually kinda pitiful, MC's parenting was rather questionable here ^^;
Original is a Marshal with 3 sons inlove with 1 Holy Mother White Lotus. It was wartime and all his three sons were all love brains fighting internally, their whole family was wiped out. His wish is to make the white lotus suffer and for this three sons to suffer/wake up from their foolishness. MC tries to marry his 2 sons to the white lotus since she can't choose one of them. White Lotus agrees but the men can't accept it, and the 1st son didn't agree to the engagement. MC arranges his sons to the bottom job so they can see what the society is like (It's wartime!) and wake up their foolish love brain. Meanwhile, Holy Mother white lotus is getting addicted to getting married. Since the Marshal won't help people if they have nothing to do with the Marshal's mansion, then she just marries them home, 'pitiful' thugs or unemployed (don't want to work) men =_=. In the end, the war still happened, with MC 2 sons helping him in the frontlines and 1 of them surviving.
- Original is a rich second generation who has a fiancee/arranged marriage with a declining family. Fiancee didn't like MC but her family won't let her break the engagement, so she accepts the original's money while getting together with her 'True Love' Senior. MC also didn't like the fiancee and he is an open playboy. He finds out about fiancee and her True Love, have them beaten up and broke the engagement bet them. True Love and fiancee got together, True Love became rich and successful and then divorced the fiancee for a younger more beautiful woman. Then fiancee was reborn when the original and her was still engaged. She felt that rich men are all bad. She marries the original and then kills him, becoming a rich woman. (WTF?!!). Original's wish is to revenge on fiancee (I agree!). This is a confusing world, MC met a lot of people with Systems, so he buys a 3-month duration protagonist halo and gave it to his scummy stallion friend to bait all the System Hosts to him XD XD XD
Putting this on-hold for now, don't wanna MTL~
Hmm.. I like a few arcs while the others are just okay for me, cos missions aren't really standard. There are scum men who also makes scum wishes (and MC finds a loophole to complete them) and there are good men who have been wronged so their wishes may seem bad but actually, its justifiable (like Arc 2 & 7). So far, I like Arc 2, 4, 7, 8. Arcs where everyone has normal worldviews. No brainless FLs and multiple affected MLs.
I just finished catching up on Everyone Knows I'm a Good Man (but I put it on-hold again), so I can't help comparing them. How to say, our MC there has a more established personality, like he's cheeky, thick-skinned, stingy with System points etc XD And its clear in every arc. Unlike here, the MC's personality is not yet so consistent. MC's personality follows the original's setting more. I guess, the constant setting is that MC is gentle to girls??? (Normal girls, not FLs) There is also his backstory which is supposed to be a rich second generation, but he has inexplicable skills like destroying Systems XD
Overall, Compared to Everyone Knows I'm a Good Man or this is just okay for me. Interesting but not enough for me to MTL it~

Mostly on Mondays/Thursdays. WARNING: FLAWED MC and not great early writing. Edits are on the list. ... *LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal. Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

Dragon Knight Prophecy
A hero, a dragon, and a love that breaks all bounds. A fantasy story of a man trying to save his homeland from a terrible war by completing a prophecy nobody fully understands. To complete his mission he needs a dragon but the road to the dragon’s lair goes horribly wrong, and when he finally faces the beast he stands alone. A deeply emotional story that deals with pain, regret, betrayal, and failure. Despite it all somehow our heroes discover they need each other and slowly come together. With the help of some dedicated friends they realize their love is special, and go on to forge a new world befitting their unusual union. If you like dragons, romance, a little magic and a lot of war this might be for you. This story eventually evolves into a very loving harem, where the women rely on and love one another just as much as they love our hero. Please note: I am an amateur writer who started this story as a form of therapy while my wife was teetering on the brink of death. Thankfully she survived but by that point I was so committed to telling this story I couldn’t stop. I learned a great deal about writing over time but I am afraid my early chapters were very rough. I have since gone back and begun to edit them, applying the lessons learned and cleaning them up. I hope you will still enjoy the story, as I love sharing it and I can’t imagine a better use of my time. Sexual content.. In seven books I have written two sex scenes, but one of them will be highly edited once I reach them with my rewrite. Overall I imply our characters are sharing their love but don't go into any great detail as to how. So if sexual content bothers you, it is only lightly touched on twice.
