Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

NecroBin
Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... I'd posted this info in my review, but I know most of you don't scroll all the way down there before deciding whether to read a novel or not, so I'll paste it here as I believe this should greatly help in the decision. After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. It was my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If burning a city wins him a war that would otherwise be lost, he’ll do it without being haunted by his actions afterward. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!

Martial Peak - Rise Of The Human Emperor

What to Expect Welcome to this Martial Peak fanfiction, a respectful expansion of the legendary work by the original author. This fic follows the core events of the original, with a fresh twist in the form of a new protagonist who is an "outsider"—a modern reader reincarnated into the world of Martial Peak. 1. MC Setup: A Cultivation Novel Reader in Martial Peak The protagonist is NOT someone from the Martial Peak universe but a cultivation novel enthusiast from another world. No prior knowledge of Martial Peak, but vast experience with cultivation logic, tropes, and meta-awareness from similar novels. This allows for unique decision-making, unconventional strategies, and a slightly different approach to situations while still following the original storyline. He won’t be overpowered from the start, but expect fast progression due to his deep understanding of cultivation mechanics. 2. Respect for the Original Plot No major timeline changes—key events still happen as they should. All future arcs and climaxes remain intact to preserve the integrity of Martial Peak. What changes? The MC’s interactions, techniques, and relationships, providing a fresh perspective while saluting the original work. Expect some butterfly effects, but nothing that derails the core story! 3. Large Harem (With More Depth & Development) Martial Peak already has one of the largest harems in cultivation fiction—we’re expanding on that. 4. Smut Content Included Let’s not dance around it—explicit content will be featured in this fic. Balanced between romance, cultivation growth, and action, ensuring the story remains engaging beyond just smut. Cultivation-based dual cultivation, yin-yang balance, and ‘special’ training sessions will be explored in a tasteful yet satisfying manner. 5. Fast-Paced Updates Since we’re not making drastic changes to the story, the pace will be fast and consistent. Updates will focus on the MC’s journey, harem development, and the occasional divergence to deepen character arcs. As long as there’s support and interest, the fic will keep expanding. Final Notes This is a passionate tribute to Martial Peak, keeping the spirit of the original intact while giving readers a fresh perspective, expanded harem dynamics, and more in-depth character interactions. Are you ready to ascend to the peak once more? Let’s begin.
