This is a guidebook for a love simulation game set in a virtual reality called the Second World.<br> <br> The only player invited to that place is Seo Jia.<br> <br> In order to fulfill her contract with the game company, she must clear all the endings and write a guidebook.<br> <br> Unfortunately, she’s an expert in nothing but bad endings. And to top it off, the setting is in the ancient Hittite kingdom.<br> <br> Can Jia clear all the endings and complete the guidebook?<br> <br> [Excerpt from the Main Story]<br> “Yes, this game has no happy endings.”<br> <br> As if he could read Jia’s mind, Tae-eul quickly explained.<br> <br> “If you’re lucky, you’ll get a Merry Bad Ending or just a Bad Ending.”<br> <br> “Then what is the goal of the player…?”<br> <br> “The Merry Bad Ending.”<br> <br> The sound of a bell ringing echoed in the meeting room.<br> <br> Merry Bad Ending? Isn’t it a miserable ending where only the game characters are happy while the player suffers mentally?<br> <br> “Wait, what exactly is a Merry Bad Ending…?”<br> <br> “It’s exactly what you’re thinking. It’s an ending where the game characters become obsessed with the player, imprison and monitor them, with no dreams, hopes, or future. So, it’s an unhappy ending for ordinary players. But of course, for the targeted players, it will be an extremely happy ending.”<br> <br> Jia couldn’t say a word. It felt like someone had given her the game she had always dreamed of. <br> <br> <b>Original Webtoon:</b> <br> <a href="https://ridibooks.com/books/3092055120" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ridibooks</a>

He no longer needed to suppress his violent desires.<br> <br> "I stopped myself from tormenting her because I thought she was a good girl, but now there's no need for that. Thank you, Sally. No...

Shinjuku, 2012. Yamada, who works as a hostess in a nightclub, meets Mii-chan, a new girl who is no good at anything she does. Mii-chan is energetic and motivated, but she can't read kanji or the atmosphere, so she is ridiculed by those around her and labeled as "pitiful." Nevertheless, Yamada is gradually drawn to Mii-chan as she works diligently.<br> <br> (Originally serialised on X/Twitter under a pseudonym and released in collected volumes on Kindle. The original manga began with shorts, then ran "Mii-chan and Yamada-san" as a lengthier story. This is a reboot with the same basic premise. The author worked in a hostess club when she was in college, but has publicly stated in interviews and on social media that while there was a "Mii-chan" who served as the inspiration for the character, everything else about the story is fictional.)<br> <br> <b>Notes</b>: Ranked 4th in the "Kono Manga ga Sugoi" 2026, in the male category
