3rd place: The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System Vol. 1

The Official Japanese Translation of Mo Xiang Tong Xiu’s Debut Novel!

Shen Yuan, the protagonist, is furious over the final scene of the wildly popular web novel Proud Immortal Demon Way and curses it vehemently—only to suddenly die in the middle of his rant.

However, instead of passing away, he wakes up to the voice of a mysterious system speaking in his head. He has reincarnated into the world of Proud Immortal Demon Way!

Unfortunately, his new identity is none other than Shen Qingqiu, the master of the novel’s protagonist, Luo Binghe—a master doomed to be tortured to death by his own disciple.

The system orders him to rewrite the novel into a legendary masterpiece while still maintaining Shen Qingqiu’s original character. Determined to avoid his grim fate, "Shen Yuan = Shen Qingqiu" struggles to navigate this world.

Yet, for some reason, Luo Binghe—who was supposed to build a massive harem—becomes strangely attached to him instead...?!

2nd place: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Vol. 22

The Angel Army Under Feldway Has Fallen, but the Threat Has Not Passed
The eldest of the dragonkind, Velzard, remains unreadable in her intentions.
Milim is on a rampage, controlled by Feldway.
And looming over them all is the worst beast of all—Ivarage, the Annihilation Dragon.

Each of these threats is a direct danger to the world.

As tensions rise, the people of Tempest and their allies fight desperately across the land, holding onto their belief that Rimuru will return.

And then—the worst beast finally awakens.

The highly anticipated latest volume of the hugely popular reincarnation fantasy!
