I Ran Away to Evil

Mystic Neptune

A cozy LitRPG romantasy series set in the otome game world of Valaria (1M+ Royal Road views). When a modern soul wakes up as an NPC side character, she uses game knowledge, leveling, dungeon delving and treasure hunting to give her favorite characters their happily-ever-afters — starting with warrior princess Henrietta, sent to assassinate the lonely Dark Lord Keith Monfort, who would rather share tea than wage war. Each volume follows a new couple through dungeons, dragons, assassins and court intrigue, concluding with book 3's unmasking of the elusive soothsayer Madame Potts.

Progression: LitRPG game-world progression: the protagonist reincarnates into an otome video-game world with explicit game mechanics — leveling up, dungeon delving, treasure hunting and skill use (book 3 Royal Road synopsis: 'Five long, intense years of leveling up and dungeon delving and treasure hunting'). Power growth is weak-to-strong and level-driven, though the narrative foregrounds cozy romance over crunchy stats.
