Hallyu Director's Chronicle

the_nightleaf
(Asian Themes) Lee Jihoon, a brilliant film director renowned for his innovative storytelling and cinematic mastery, meets an untimely demise at the height of his career. However, instead of fading into oblivion, he finds himself reborn in the year 2006, inhabiting the body of a notorious chaebol heir from the powerful Lee family—a world far removed from the film sets he once called home. With memories of the future and insider knowledge of both the film and entertainment industries, Jihoon sees this as his second chance—not only to redefine Korean cinema but to reshape the K-pop industry before it spirals into its darkest scandals. However, his new identity comes with an unexpected burden: the ruthless succession battle within the Lee family. Rather than becoming a pawn in the family’s cutthroat power struggle, Jihoon makes a bold decision—to step away from the fight for corporate control and instead pursue what he does best: filmmaking. With his wealth and influence as a chaebol heir, he sets out to revolutionize the entertainment industry, challenge the oppressive systems controlling idols, and craft a legacy that will change the course of Hallyu forever. A thrilling tale of ambition, artistry, and reinvention, Hallyu Director’s Chronicle explores the hidden struggles behind Korea’s entertainment empire, where one man’s vision, courage, and past life wisdom could change the fate of an entire industry—if he can survive long enough to see it through.

Cheat Engine in a Broken Fantasy World

Yamete Kimochi, a lazy Japanese gamer, is furious at a poorly designed RPG boss that keeps killing him. Out of frustration, he downloads a cheat engine to hack the game—only to receive a bizarre message after winning: "Congratulations! You have been selected to enter the game world with your cheats enabled!" Suddenly transported into a glitchy medieval fantasy world, Kazuki discovers his "Cheat Engine" ability lets him manipulate game mechanics—but with ridiculous limitations. To survive, he must complete absurd quests given by GLich-chan, a snarky system AI living in his head. From duplicating bugged items to fighting monsters with broken hitboxes, Kazuki navigates a world where: - Slap the stuck NPC until his dialogue unfreezes. - Quests make no sense ("Collect 10 flowers… but the map only has 9"). - Fix the broken bridge… by reloading the area. (Good luck with that.) With GLich-chan mocking him and the world crumbling from his exploits, Kimochi must decide: Will he keep relying on cheats, or learn to grow stronger—and maybe fix this broken world?
