When is a cast of characters typically included in a novel?

Kubei was just an ordinary pencil and button pusher working a day job, hating his boss and making horrible speeches when one day he fell asleep after pushing an all-nighter. When he woke up, he was bound to a chair, facing three creepy robed women and in a body way too young and way too weak to be his own. As he slowly came to, he realized that he was no longer in the same universe as he was before. He had teleported to the Kingdom of Helius, where an all-powerful church rules its lands and wages war against the elusive group known only as Mages. Armed with an incredibly cocky neural interface that just won’t shut up and his own sheer wit, our MC will find himself not just fighting to survive, but maybe even something bigger than himself.

Xu Xu thought she knew it all. As a no-nonsense top-of-class police academy graduate, she was certain that she was ready for whatever the world threw at her. However, when she was paired with the world-famous detective, Ji Bai, she quickly learned that theory and reality were not always the same. Together they would catch murderers, crack decade old cases, take down international human trafficking rings and even stop a maniacal warlord - all while simultaneously dealing with their budding romance. It was a battle of attrition as their relationship was forced to go to hell and back, but would it prove too much, or would love ultimately prevail?
