1. 1 与 Running a Sweet Little Shop with Nyaruko 与奈亚子一同经营甜蜜小店 KP ErbaiKP耳百No CP212k WordsCompleted To save Nyarko and help him pay off his massive debts, run a sweet little shop together with him~! Would you rather sell an outrageously expensive bandage to the young executive and fleece him, or sell him a strange hat and quietly stir up trouble between the Double Black duo? Or would you sell a cursed pair of sunglasses to some white-haired guy with Six Eyes and make the world look a little more interesting to him? Or maybe you’d like to sell a high school girl who’s good at karate a bottle o 2.2kFavorites3.4kClicks/ch1.5kGifts

   It's a tragic bad ending, but Nyarlathotep is Nyarlathotep, and everyone successfully burned themselves out in the process of falling towards the bad ending. A very good free story.

   It is indeed Tantric Buddhism, so the sense of oppression is not as strong. Anyway, I'm too lazy to make another reading list, so I'll just put it here for now: 3

If you see a spoiler in the comments, please leave a separate comment on that chapter. I'll delete it when I see it. Sorry in advance!] When Ye Qiliu woke up, he found that the dream he'd had last night seemed to have become reality. The problem was, in his dream he'd put on the secret identity of an evil god, saved an abused child, killed a deranged, worthless father, and shot his way in and out of all kinds of trouble... 128.4kFavorites215.8kClicks/ch649.3kGifts

   Ah... Update... Sob sob... In short, the first few volumes were really good when they weren't being updated so intermittently... I recommend everyone check them out... I'll read them after they're finished!

4. 4 给 Working for the Outer Gods 给外神打工的日子 Fei翡Romance203k WordsCompleted They say that when humans play tabletop games where they are the final boss, the Outer Gods are utterly amazed. They all say they want to try something this fun, too. Lucky Little Kitty (username) was chosen to be the game master. Looking at the ridiculously powerful Outer Gods and the weak, helpless, pitiful NPCs, Lucky Little Kitty (username) couldn't help crying out from the bottom of their heart: No! Stop it, all of you! Keep this up and the game module is going to break! Theme: No matter 17.6kFavorites36kClicks/ch14.4kGifts

   The (Outer Gods) might exhibit some overly human-like behaviors, but the non-human atmosphere is fantastic, and the female lead might even feel a bit sanity-destroying... Anyway, it's really good! If you're captivated by the Outer Gods' appearances in the artwork (especially Nyarlathotep), I highly recommend this one! 🐶

5. 5 邪 I Am Actually A Dark God?! 邪神竟是我自己 Ning Shijiu宁世久Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted This is your third year since you transmigrated to another world. Despite starting out unable to understand the language or read the script, you worked relentlessly, passed the Inquisition's entrance exam, and became a civil servant with insurance and a pension. Humanity in this world has retreated into underground cities. They face more than cramped quarters, scarce oxygen, and famine: lurking in the darkness are cultists of the Evil Gods and monsters. The Inquisition stands on the front lines 150.2kFavorites168.8kClicks/ch568.8kGifts

   The atmosphere wasn't really that Cthulhu-esque (which is a shame), but the story was great. I loved the warm atmosphere in it; it's a rare story that manages to balance romance and career development.

6. 6 白 Sleep by Day [Western Fantasy] 白昼之眠[西幻] Gentlemen, Get Chubby诸君肥肥No CP4.1M WordsCompleted Durmi Knight is anxiously keeping a secret. By day, he is a cheerful, lively young sailor, roaming the vast oceans with his fleet and exploring a boundless world. But at night, when the last rays of dusk vanish beyond the horizon, the world he knows takes on an entirely different shape. The humorous, gentle older sailors become rotting skeletons with hideous faces and hostile hearts. The warm, close-knit fleet becomes a terrifying, uncanny ghost fleet, sailing through cold seas teeming with mu 35.5kFavorites22.4kClicks/ch286.8kGifts

   So far, it's been fantastic. The author's previous work was also excellent; it was a tabletop RPG called Desu.

7. 7 你 You, Backrooms Administrator 你，后室管理员 Rong Yu嫆钰Romance388k WordsCompleted [Heads-up: The protagonist is greedy, this is slice-of-life with child-rearing, and because I'm too busy in real life, I can only guarantee the minimum word count for the ranking!] You only remember that in your previous life, you were an office worker who suddenly fell ill and died from overwork. When you woke up, you were an eighteen-year-old orphan in Yokohama named Shangjiangzhou Xiaochun. A System called [Core Depth] bound itself to you.

   It's a harem! Yay! The author has started a new story!! (If anyone wants to read it, remember to check out the synopsis. As the author said, updates are incredibly fast, but there won't be any abandoned projects or VIP chapters.)

8. 8 囍 Wedding Joy 囍 Rong Yu嫆钰Romance251k WordsCompleted [Coming Soon: Genshin Impact: Teyvat’s Middleman] A fine nanmu coffin, lacquered red and carved with golden phoenix patterns, mysteriously arrived at Yokohama Port. A boy nicknamed Tiger, whose family lived in Sendai, somehow stumbled across a redwood ancestral tablet. The inscription on the front was written in a language he couldn't read. Out of kindness, Tiger put the poor tablet on the family altar, burning incense and praying to it every day. He even brought it some local Sendai specialt 22.1kFavorites44.4kClicks/ch54.7kGifts

Being a little girl wasn't the problem. The problem was where I was: aboard a smuggling ship at a private port in the Slum District. Just as the plot was about to turn into The Neon Girl Stranded in South Africa, I was suddenly bound to a bizarre, Lovecraftian Ancient God System at the bottom of the sea. The Ancient God had just woken up in a foul mood and sent an entire ship of neonazis to their deaths with a suona horn. Blood a 18.8kFavorites36.6kClicks/ch17.7kGifts

   It's a Cthulhu-inspired flavor with a touch of a cult simulator, it's like spicy noodles with cheese, my absolute favorite!

10. 10 二 The Villain of a Fantasy Cultivation World 二次元修仙反派 Rong Yu嫆钰No CP310k WordsCompleted Daxian got the full-immersion game [Cultivation World's Villain Role-Playing System] as a gift. [Cultivation] and [anime settings] are such completely unrelated elements that she can't even imagine how much fun they'll be together. So, in the game, Daxian transforms into a beautiful, clean-cut young man with his hair tied up, then follows the script's instructions and walks right up to a little boy with orange hair. Daxian: “Kid, your steps are steady and full of true energy. You must have the 11.7kFavorites14.6kClicks/ch24.8kGifts

    Personally adding, this author has captured the Cthulhu flavor very well, so even without explicitly writing about Cthulhu, it's still Cthulhu (?). The emotions erupted very strongly.
