Unravel

Kurogane Hikari spent eight years torturing her characters for drama. Now she's dying in one. Terminal manga artist. Abandoned masterpiece. When Hikari awakens inside *Crimson Labyrinth*—her own dark fantasy epic—she discovers the world is collapsing into "Narrative Rot" because she died before the final chapter. With 30 days until total apocalypse, she must survive her own plot holes while her tortured protagonist learns he's fictional and decides whether to save his god or watch her fade into sketch lines. She gave him scars, suffering, and a lonely death. Now she has to earn the right to rewrite his ending. A story about creation, cruelty, and the cost of happy endings.
