Name: Play Cards! In a World of Swords and Magic
Author: Moyu Awei

Synopsis

[Completed. Winner of the 2022 Best of the Year award. Guaranteed quality, so feel free to bookmark and read.] Card-game geek You Ling transmigrated into the Spirit Continent, a world where card duels reign supreme. Seeing the place filled with people hacking at each other like berserkers, You Ling figured he could easily become the Duel King. But then...

[Because you lost your body before transmigrating, you can only inhabit someone else's body as a spirit!]

Women will only slow down my plays! But why am I stuck as the spirit behind all these women while they play cards?

Aisha: "I summon Kuriboh in Attack Position."

You Ling: "Are you an idiot? Why summon a 300-ATK Normal Monster in Attack Position? Let me take over!"

Kaiba Girl: "Strong, unbeatable, the strongest! I fuse Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon from my hand!"

You Ling: "You didn't even shuffle your deck again. And why not fuse the true Ultimate Dragon? Just let me take over!"

Elaina: "I tribute the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons on my field to Advance Summon Dark Magician!"

You Ling: "I'm having such a hard time..."

Your strongest spirit-for-hire is now online.

Books I Used to Follow

I'm out of books to read, so I thought I'd go through the ones I've read before. Unfortunately, over 60% of them were taken down by a certain private course, and there are no copies anywhere online.
