Mal might meet a group of outcasts like herself. They are all running from different problems but have formed a kind of family. Together, they teach Mal the importance of community and support, and they all help each other face the challenges that come their way.
Perhaps Mal would make friends with a Hufflepuff. This Hufflepuff could be really kind and inclusive, and they would accept Mal for who he is right from the start. They could introduce Mal to the Hufflepuff common room and all the cozy traditions there. Another possible friend could be a Slytherin who has a similar background to Mal and they understand each other's motives and ambitions in the magical world.
Some of the top - rated light novels on MAL include 'Sword Art Online'. It has a very engaging story set in a virtual reality gaming world where players are trapped and have to fight for their survival. Another popular one is 'Overlord'. The story follows an overpowered character who gets transported into a game world and has to deal with various challenges and build his own empire there.
I recommend "Rebirth's Heavenly Eye Divination". This novel is a modern romance novel. After the female protagonist is reborn, she gets a heavenly book that can open the heavenly eye, control human life, and even allow beggars to get a divination. At the same time, the female protagonist also had the help of a mysterious master and a Heavenly Book with armaments. Although it did not completely match the plot described in the question, there were still many similarities. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
Evie could be one of her allies. They are friends, and Evie is smart and can offer good advice on how to rule. Also, Jay might be on her side. He's strong and brave, which would be useful for protecting Mal as she tries to become queen.
For Mal, an actor like Tom Holland could be a great choice. He has that youthful charm and the ability to play a character who is in a strange situation. For Zeus, someone like Liam Neeson would be perfect. His deep voice and powerful presence would really bring the character of Zeus to life.
I'm not sure which novel you're referring to because you didn't provide enough information. If you can provide the title of the novel or an outline of the plot, I will try my best to provide you with relevant information.
Descendants of the Sun was based on the Korean TV series Descendants of the Sun. The drama was directed by Korean director Lee Hye-Joon and was first broadcasted in 2016.

Mal and Evie had been through so much together. One day, Mal was feeling really down after a difficult encounter with an old enemy. Evie, who was like a sister to her, noticed immediately. She walked over to Mal and without a word, just wrapped her arms around her in a warm, comforting hug. Mal felt the love and support radiating from Evie and started to relax. It was these simple yet powerful moments that made their bond unbreakable.
I think it could be one of the more morally upright contestants like Zoey. She's always been a good - hearted character and would be likely to oppose Mal's evil plans.
