After finally winning the lottery, Jaewon’s life takes a bizarre turn when a car accident sends him into the world of a romance web novel. Desperate to return home and claim his winnings, he learns that escape is only possible if the story reaches its intended happy ending. But things go off-script fast—because instead of gravitating toward the female lead, every eligible male protagonist seems far more interested in Jaewon himself. As the plot spirals into unexpected territory, Jaewon must navigate romance tropes, unwanted attention, and a story that refuses to follow its original rules.
Circuit Breaker thrives on humor, meta-commentary, and genre subversion. Rather than portraying a hyper-competent transmigrator, it follows a painfully normal guy whose biggest concern isn’t survival—but getting home to his lottery money.
The story pokes fun at romance novel logic, especially rigid “destined couple” narratives, by flipping attraction dynamics entirely. Jaewon’s growing frustration—and reluctant charm—carry the series, making it especially appealing to readers who enjoy playful BL-adjacent storytelling without heavy angst.
This is a comfort read built for laughs, absurd situations, and character-driven comedy rather than high-stakes drama.
