How Not to Die Trying: Book 1

A tired, overworked detective dies in the line of duty, only to wake up as a frilly, lace-clad twink of a spoiled noble brat in a fantasy kingdom. Worse, he’s pretty sure he’s landed in one of his partner’s awful romance games—complete with political drama, dangerous magic, and an engagement to the Crown Prince. Now the “villain” has to survive to the end without getting exiled, executed, or stabbed in the back.   Shame he’s never actually played the game. An isekai drama and eventually a gay romance. No harems. A note on content: This is not intended to be a dark story, but it is set in a grounded world. Terrible people exist and Bad Things happen. Content warnings will be provided at the beginning of relevant chapters as new or significant material is introduced.
