Stigma Effect - Chapter 41

A young boy, Asuma Haruto, is transferred to another world. Without having any means to return home, he has no choice but to live in this parallel universe.

Armed with only his knowledge of making soap, will Haruto be able to safely make a living here?

This is a story about how our protagonist creates his own business out of his hobby of making soap and then gradually manages his business and gets rich.

On a certain day, dungeons from another dimension suddenly appeared on Earth and monsters started to invade human civilization.

Humans were forced to form hunting parties to conquer dungeons.

Hunters can be separated into different jobs, including Knights, Warriors, Archers, Magicians, Assassins, and Supporters.

Each job had its own responsibility when they fought together.

When Lu Benwei was transmigrated to this world, he got the weakest job and became a Supporter.

Fortunately, he received the One-click Support System.

Resource Support: Click to receive 10x experience, 10x item drop, 10x money drop.

“He can walk through walls, has X-ray vision, and invincibility? You call that a support system? He’s basically hacking!”

“I’m not hacking!” Lu Benwei replied.

Plot Summary: This novel combines the popular “villainess” genre with the contemporary concept of VTubing, where the protagonist, a typical villainess character, becomes a VTuber—an online persona using a digital avatar. As she navigates her dual life, her influence extends beyond the virtual world, leading to increasingly violent and chaotic consequences in reality. The story delves into the psychological impact of living a double life and explores themes of power, manipulation, and the dark side of internet fame.Why Read It: The novel offers a fresh and thrilling take on the villainess trope by incorporating modern digital culture elements. It’s particularly appealing to readers who enjoy stories that explore the darker aspects of fame and influence, with a unique blend of fantasy and real-world issues. The narrative's intense and sometimes graphic nature sets it apart from more conventional stories in the genre, making it a compelling read for those looking for something different.
