Synopsis

Su Yu creates an alternate account in the fully immersive trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh!: Link World, then inexplicably transmigrates into the game world, complete with an NPC template.

Time rewinds to before the game’s launch. The players won’t arrive for another month. The nameless Pharaoh still sleeps within high school student Yugi Muto, and the era-defining tournament, Battle City, has yet to begin.

When the game officially launches and players log in, they discover a brand-new NPC who wasn’t in the original.

Su Yu: “Hey, players! Want to buy some card packs? One pack for fifty, or ten packs for five hundred. Fair prices, no rip-offs!”

The players stare fixedly at the Pot of Greed marked UR in the item list, their eyes burning with excitement. All at once, the same thought flashes through their minds:

As long as I pull that card!

"Treasure Trove Bookshop": Anime and Light Novels, No AI-Generated Stories

Mostly anime and historical fiction. I write reviews but don't give ratings. Most of these books are complete. Some explore extremely niche topics, while others are famous blockbusters. Whether it's a morning glory tucked away in a corner where nobody sees it or a rose beloved by everyone, each has its own brilliance. These books all have some degree of originality. I won't use AI to bring in older books, and I've also filtered out some ongoing works, so I rarely use AI or quote it at all. Parti

In Memory of All Those Years I Went Crazy Chasing New Chapters

Thinking back, it must have been about ten years ago. I used to be desperate to keep reading, and that urge still comes over me now and then, though it isn't the norm anymore. I suppose that's growing up, but whenever the feeling returns, it's still hard to resist. This list holds the books I've read over the years that left an impression on me. It may not be complete; it's just a way to remember.

A Gem of a Reading Room

Great books I've read. (Tightly plotted masterpieces, or stories with boastful protagonists, wild ideas, humor, and some fanfiction.) I've been looking for more obscure books lately, so I've added star ratings as a heads-up. The two- and three-star books are ones I think you might enjoy if they suit your taste. If they don't sound right for you, don't blame me for recommending them.

🌟 My tastes are varied. Read the notes carefully: whether there's a female lead, whether it's an advantage-focused story, and whether it has ships to root for. 🌟🌟 Two stars usually means it's okay to read when I'm out of books.
