Aotu World: I Have Aotu World Wrapped Around My Finger

[Female-oriented + healing and redemption + pairing with Lei Shi + friendship for the whole cast + author writes whatever she wants + sweetness and angst]

After dying, Xin Yue arrived in Aotu World. She thought it was an accident, only to discover that she had been from there all along?!

Xin Yue: ?????? So????????

Xin Yue starts off calm and goes off the rails later + Lei Shi, her childhood friend, witnesses the whole transformation

Xin Yue: Lei Shi, are you asleep?

Lei Shi: …

Xin Yue: You fell asleep? Lei Shi--!

Lei Shi: Tsk, what do you want?!

Xin Yue: Nothing. Just wanted to wake you up so you could go back to sleep.

Lei Shi: ???

The heroine’s grand redemption tour

Xin Yue: Hey, hey, thinking of sacrificing yourself? Not while I’m around! Power seed, get in here!

Palos, who has no idea why he can still hear what’s going on outside despite having become a power seed: ??????

The team’s tension diffuser (?)

Xin Yue: Did you sell information? I did, but I quit ages ago~ Sigh~ I won’t say more~

You know he used to sell information. Sigh~ I’ll let him tell you himself~

Sigh~ I wasn’t the one who gave you the map. No explanation~

I’m sure I can get them safely out of the competition. Sigh~ I can’t bring myself to say it~

Lei, Pa, Ka: …

Pei: ???

Xin Yue: This pirate crew would’ve fallen apart long ago without me~

A heroic sacrifice?

Xin Yue: Lei Shi, don’t blame yourself... Cough, cough... It’s not your fault...

Lei Shi: There has to be another way. You’re so capable, surely there’s another way

Xin Yue: Heh, Lei Shi, I love you (actually pretending to be dead)

The ending isn’t tragic.
