Extra chapters updated irregularly. Coming soon: "After Failing to Ascend, I Became a Temp Worker in the Apocalypse." The blurb is at the very bottom. I’m on my knees in gratitude!
A socially anxious, game-obsessed shut-in bottom × a clingy, gorgeous monster top
Ruan Hui is a famous uploader on a video-sharing site. In real life, he’s a socially anxious shut-in who spends all his time gaming, dedicated to researching all sorts of solo-run strategies.
Then, one day, he transmigrates into the game world of the continent of Sinklund. His life becomes a game, with no practice runs and no standard walkthroughs. He has to clear it in one life to return to his original world.
Ruan Hui is in his element and figures this will be a piece of cake. But the moment he opens his eyes, he sees a stunning beauty who perfectly matches his tastes. Just making eye contact is enough to leave him speechless.
Even worse, he’s in the same bed as this beauty, fast asleep with his head resting on his lap.
Ruan Hui: Does anyone have a tutorial for making awkward conversations less awkward?
Ao Ze isn’t good at games. Luckily, a beginner NPC helps him pick up a teammate. All he has to do is wait for Ruan Hui to wake up, then politely ask if they can team up.
Ruan Hui can’t meet his eyes or get a word out. He just blushes in silence and silently agrees. So his solo game becomes a co-op run, and a pretty tagalong who only knows how to play a pure-healer mage joins him. The seasoned gamer is forced to put on a show as a socially anxious guy who has to fight monsters and cheer on his teammate.
But the further he gets, the more Ruan Hui realizes his game isn’t like everyone else’s. The boss monsters guarding the three different endings break the rules of the story and show up one after another ahead of schedule, all to catch up with Ao Ze. This leads Ruan Hui to unlock a hidden storyline and reach a new ending no one has ever achieved.
Updates every other day. I’m trying to build up a backlog. Please stop by and light up a star. I’m on my knees in thanks!

Blurb below:
Lazy demigod × scheming android
Chu Youshi has an exceptional talent for cultivation, but his luck is terrible. An accident strikes at the crucial moment of his tribulation. He fails to ascend and become a god, and ends up falling into the mortal world, forced to survive the apocalypse.
This world is beset by internal and external threats, and has even been placed on Heaven’s destruction list. Unable to return to the immortal realm, Chu Youshi decides to make the best of things. He invents a temporary-worker identity and sneaks into a human safe zone, planning to ascend again when Heaven’s tribulation strikes.
But things get off to a bad start. Chu Youshi loses to the temp worker lottery system. Time and again, the prize pool hands him rare, high-risk jobs, along with an android of dubious origins. The android calls him "Master" while drawing assassins to his door.
Ming Xu escaped from a laboratory. To get away from the people hunting him, he randomly chose some unlucky guy to use as cover. Circumstances forced him to call the guy "Master" a few times. After using him and making a run for it, Ming Xu was soon cornered in the black market and told to sign an android master-servant contract.
Ming Xu thought, "What kind of idiot is this?"
Chu Youshi had thought he was the one benefiting from an unfair contract. After risking life and limb with Ming Xu several times, he realized he’d picked up a demanding ancestor to support. Not only had his expenses gone way up, but his work had gotten harder, too.
At this point, Chu Youshi could only console himself: "Good thing you ran into me. Anyone else would’ve had a hard time handling you."
Ming Xu: "Thanks for the compliment. You have plenty of enemies, too."
