Otaku Demon King

Otaku Demon King is a long crossover fan-fiction novel by the web author Broken Delusion, serialized on Qidian Chinese Network from December 15, 2011, and completed on June 27, 2020, totaling about 2.87 million Chinese characters. The protagonist, Lei Zhe, is an ordinary otaku who accidentally transmigrates into the world of Diobus and becomes the eleventh Demon King of the Tower of Babel—the reincarnation of the legendary great Demon King. Faced with the identity of "Demon King," he gives a rather unorthodox answer: clichéd plots like destroying kingdoms and abducting princesses are long outdated. He launches online games, writes manga, makes films, and releases records, managing his power and life in another world the way an otaku would. The story spans multiple fantasy spaces including the Demon Tower world, Academy City, Uruk, the Holy Grail War, Edo, and Gensokyo, encountering and clashing with characters such as Accelerator, Gilgamesh, Enkidu, and Aiwass, completing a journey from otaku to Demon King and then to "god." The overall tone is light and humorous, blending comedy, hot-blooded action, dark turns, gender-bending, and collapse elements, ultimately returning in the "That Is Love" volume to the theme that "being an otaku is love."
