Helix didn’t want to become a protagonist. Unfortunately, he was summoned to another world against his will, and a mad god was dead set on making him the hero.

After turning down her offer for comical power and a harem-attracting charm attribute, he was left with [zeros] for all of his stats.

Worse, he was given a legendary magic class that creates illusions of an enemy’s greatest fear and has a millennium-long history of killing its wielders in the first month.

His decision left him defenseless around 49 jealous light novel-reading Earthians with delusional desires to be the protagonist and slaughter their way to godhood.

Stranded in a world where [everyone] is one punch man, only his mind and cunning will help him survive.



[Nightmare] explores cliches from a real-world perspective. The mc doesn't want to be a protagonist—that never changes.

It's a dynamic that makes this story a satisfying dark comedy and constantly asks interesting questions.

This novel examines how the [mindsets] of the weebs shape how they view and interact with it.

It covers RPG culture, harem culture, cultivator world mindset, system wish fulfillment, real-world weak to strong complications, and the twisted nature of overpowered characters.

Yes: Helix gets satisfyingly op.

Note: I had to read a truckload of cliche novels to roast cliches. Especially cultivation cliches—I'm writing a cultivation novel! XD

[Sexual content warning]. There are lemons. You're welcome.

If you like the comedy aspect, try out my other novel My Yandere Harem for ultimate yandere goodness.

—Important Disclaimer—

This novel has a heartbreaking scene that highlights the tragic consequences of the cultivator mindset.

80% of the people drop do it because of that chapter. I wouldn't have written it if I knew how adverse WN readers were to character deaths.

Please don't drop because of that scene. The decision was bad, but the story isn't. If it hits you like a bag of bricks, it means that my writing was powerful, and there's a lot of potential in the future.

Enjoy the novel!

    The first five chapters are worth reading alone. It's also well written, funny, and kind of depressing as well. Author, please keep writing. I need this in my life lol

    If you read this for its tags, prepare to get roasted. This book is a parody of web novel cliches, and I've been laughing as much as I'm questioning my taste in books. The mc is intelligent at the start for once, which is nice as well. However... he also makes poor decisions imo. At least they're thought out. We'll see who's right as the story progresses

    I came from Nerve Network hoping for another wild action novel with a smart mc. I was let down at first. Nightmare is a parody with psychological elements and minimum action. It isn't the same genre.

    I find it hilarious, but it took awhile to get into because I wanted something else. However, once I came to terms that it wasn't like NN I found it extremely engaging in ways I haven't found on WN. If you're looking for action, read NN. But give this one a shot if you're willing to enjoy a comedy.

    It starts slow, but that's fine because it's hilarious and the author is grilling cliches like an op cultivator wipes out offencers. After reading 21 chapters, I'm hooked and checking WN to see if a new chapter is posted.

    The harem cliches are gold. I'm dying every few chapters for different reasons. Its also not a simple level up book. The mc doesn't need magic to win against op people and I love that. Mass release... please...

    I have yet to read it, but I already want to thank author for the synapsis. The toxicity of the [mindsets] is really disgusting at times, it makes people look like some beasts. Outdated ways of thinking that silently harm people while claiming all credit for good things. I know a lot of them from all the novels I read, and I hated them to the point of writing a novel myself. Thank you for doing it for me
