Trapped in the Game That Hates Me: F-rank ShellCrafter

A character-driven, Japanese-style progression fantasy about choices, growth, and consequences—written in the Narō web novel tradition. Leo, a former e-sports competitor, has spent his life mastering impossibly hard games. After clearing the toughest title he’s ever beaten, he’s engulfed in light—and wakes up inside the very world he conquered. Now trapped, Leo must uncover why he was summoned, forge his own path, and survive a world that seems determined to break him. (Author’s Note: Written by PenWood—creator of the iX-System. I like to blend emotion, system logic, and cinematic flow. )
