Ga-eun is a junior in college who lives with her younger brother, a senior in high school. Ever since their parents' death, she has tried to stay strong and confident amidst juggling school and raising her brother. And after getting dumped by her boyfriend, dating is the last thing on her mind... until she gets involved with three of her brother’s friends. Which one will she choose?

My Three Tyrant Brothers on Tapas (Released: August 11) 

All members of the Ascania imperial family are cursed to die at the hands of a loved one, a curse only broken by the birth of a girl into the bloodline. So when a young slave girl with the telltale, color-changing Ascania eyes is discovered, she’s declared Princess Chloe, the little sister of the three princes. She’s excited to finally have a family, but her new brothers seem a bit strange… They’ve always had to be cold and unfeeling for their own protection, but will Chloe’s arrival plant the seed of change in their hearts?

How to Clear a Dating Sim as a Side Character on Tappytoon (Released: August 24)

When Yewon opens her eyes inside Midnight, the top-ranked dating simulation game, she realizes things aren’t quite as fun when her own life is at stake without a “Load Save” option. The only way to clear Midnight is to reach a happy ending with one of the five love interests, but each route poses a different set of problems. Meeting the master of the mage’s tower will lead to almost certain death, the crown prince doesn’t even try to hide his animosity towards her, the merchant seems to be missing a few screws, and another barely speaks. The swordmaster seems relatively normal, but it turns out he’s a devout follower of the temple she’s desperately trying to escape. Will Yewon be able to capture the heart of one of these men and use her insider game knowledge to clear the game?

Because of Kento-sama, she has not had a boyfriend for years. Her life seems smooth, but she is always thinking about a new game production. She is also busy raising funds for the new game production. 

One evening, Wataru Igarashi suddenly appears in front of drunken Izumi Hidaka. She is shocked by Wataru Igarashi’s appearance, which is just like game character Kento-sama. Wataru Igarashi is a 23-years-old man. He was being chased by a debt collector, and he jumped from a pedestrian overpass to avoid the debt collector. This is when he met Izumi Hidaka. But, Izumi Hidaka is disappointed with Wataru Igarashi. Except for his physical appearance, he is nothing like her game character Kento-soma. Wataru Igarashi is ill-mannered, uncultured, and lethargic. Soon, Izumi Hidaka becomes determined to make Wataru Igarashi just like her game character Kento-sama, which is her ideal man.
