The Dream

I didn't make it to the train. The apocalypse came, monsters emerged and the world ended.

I was reincarnated. This time around, I rode the train. Apparently, this is a train that pick us up to the academy. The academy that trains us to face the apocalypse. 

In the first stage, there were rations. The size of the item is huge, apparently not designed for humans, but for (maybe) other intelligent life form? They were nicely arranged on a rack. But I knew, if you take it, the monster from that world where the item came from will appear. Some of trainees thought I was spouting gibberish. They took the rations nonchalantly. I saw an enormous shadow appeared and screams were heard.

Korean Novels

I am an avid fan of Korean novels. 

I like how most writers portrayed their characters realistically, unlike some Chinese novels wherein the main lead is unnecessarily overpowered and disregard all kinds of morals and ethics. (For example, I’m talking about ahem… Versatile Mage, the ML is extremely OP, and all the protagonists in the novel are just brainless and rotten to the core)

Reincarnation/transmigration tropes are ubiquitous nowadays, but some are creative, for example, Death is the Only Ending for the Villainess. 

I really dislike s*ave and r*pe tropes. I despise authors who normalise these.

Gaming universe tropes are also my cup of tea. Some of the novels that caught my attention are Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint and Solo Levelling.

Runaway female lead tropes are a bit too common. The story usually starts will a female lead who reincarnated/transmigrated, knew her fate beforehand, planned to run away from the main leads. And failed miserably.

I have read a post saying about Isekai bloom. Isekai literally means otherworld or alternate universe. People are feeling content and bored with their current life and are looking for something challenging and different. 

In simple words, it means that the current world is peaceful. 

A good thing, I reckon.
