In each of these universes, she's thrust into the company of the creme de la creme of men - alpha males who could stir butterflies in even the most self-assured and independent women.

Will she be able to keep her cool around these magnetic hunks, or will her resolve crumble like a stale cookie?

General Summary

High School student Leila has always been a fan of fantasy novels. From romance to dark fantasy to humorous parodies, she's read them all. But being such a hungry reader has turned her into a critical one who is not afraid to dock a five-star novel to a three. One such novel to feel her wrath is a high-ranking, best-selling grimdark series whose ending made her want to puke. Angry about the characterization of the female lead turned villain of the week, she gives a scathing review and berates the author publicly. Going to bed right after, the teenager expected to wake up with a response and maybe some upvotes. 

Instead, she finds herself being cursed to live in the story she dunked on as the character she watched gets written into an utter dumpster fire. Cleo is described as a seductive and skilled assassin prodigy whom the main character fell for at first sight. The definition of the best girl and Mary Sue. But by the end of the series, she's number 100000 of a nameless harem of badass but sub-servant women, one of which's taken her place as the MC's fiance. Leila awakens right where she stopped reading and the worst scenario possible: her execution.

Leila must not only survive till the original series' main character, the crown prince, is five feet under, but she also has to take down every obstacle in her way. Because the plot isn't going the way it was planned, enemies are around every corner and if she loses, she never returns home. <<less

Raven's new plan is to get revenge on the traitors while juggling royal duties, ballroom dances, and - oh yes - a fake engagement to her former enemy, Prince Alexander!
A pretend romance with the prince is Raven's ticket to getting close to the villains. But things get complicated when her "pretend" feelings start feeling very... real.
Is Prince Hartley not the bad guy after all?
Turns out, falling in love might just be the most dangerous mission yet! <<less

Su Jing transmigrated into a cultivation story.... more>>

Now, you might think that's all well and good, but let's not forget one crucial detail: Su Jing was not the star of this story, not by a long shot. The spotlight belonged to someone else, a girl who's got it all—talent, luck, power, and even a beautiful man who's madly in love with her.

And Su Jing? She's just trying not to get killed, which is no small feat in a realm where folks trained endlessly to harness their inner qi and do supernatural things like fly on swords, shoot fireballs, and debate the meaning of life while suspended upside-down on mountaintops.

As Su Jing navigates through this over-the-top story, she discovers that her mere presence is throwing everything off balance. She's not the chosen one, and she's definitely not here to save the day. But somehow, the story is changing, and Su Jing isn't even lifting a finger.

Let's just say her days of boring, ordinary existence were officially over.

Luckily, an encounter with a talented and glory-hungry swordswoman sets him on a journey to revive her ancestors guild and face the depths of the abyss. The wholesome harem isekai journey begins!... more>>

Huh? Why is that Bastard Commander here? Why is she so close?! Why is my heart beating so fast?!?!

She's the only useless person in the entire sect, but she has six genius senior brothers who dote on her and protect her. The world envies and admires her. Her senior brothers treat her like a precious gem and always rush to wield their swords in front of her during battles. She just wants to say, "Senior brothers, I can really handle it on my own! I can take on ten opponents by myself!" Calling her a weakling would be unfair to her. How can she convince others that she's not a waste? She's truly powerful! ... more>>

One day, upon dying, Jun was a soul who was suddenly captured by the villain system.... more>>

Every world she lived a tragic life.

Every ending was the same.

Unlike many others who obeyed quietly under the system’s order, or to seek a quick death, Jun never stopped retaliating against her fate.

Since Jun refused to give in, the system plotted to break her mind apart. However, after “countless” deaths, Jun remained firm in herself, and only she knew her maliciousness grew stronger and deeper.

But Jun was not afraid.

Paranoia and hatred might run deep in her mind, but no one was more clear than her that only when one dared to challenge their fate could they truly grasp their own “destiny”.

Villains could also have a life without being overshadowed by the brilliance of the protagonists too.

“My chosen demise? The righteous protagonists rule? They don’t matter. Eventually, I will reclaim what’s rightfully mine.”

Even if it takes everything that I need to get what I want.

I never thought I would get to watch the collapse of civilization in real time. Yet, here I am. One of the survivors of an apocalypse that no one quite understands. All we know is that something is in the water. Every river, lake, stream, ocean, sea, well, ditch, puddle. You name it. All of it has been infected by something. It was happening for months before solid rain fell from the sky. I don't mean snow or hail. I mean crystalized rain. ... more>>

It was the solid rain that sparked the changes. First were animals that mutated. Then it was humans. Governments tried to keep things quiet but word began to get out. Stories of people lighting things on fire with their minds. Of others crushing stones with their bare hands. But it wasn't just fancy powers that people got. Some became freakish monsters. Some even turned into cannibalistic zombie-like monstrosities. Me? I don't really know, all I know is I have somehow survived.

But I suppose, it just doesn't matter anymore.

Note from Authors:
Hi, Mr and Mrs Mooncat here. Our work is quite different with distinct local flavors as it is based on our ancestral home in a small Asian country, Malaysia (although currently, we're residing on the moon). Hence, expect a lot of footnotes, local food, places, and slangs within ;) It's a fun way to get to know Malaysia from the eyes of the locals. Besides that, we also employ simple easy-to-understand English sentences to accommodate a vast spectrum of readers with very minor elements of romance. It is very friendly to both men and women, young and old without any harsh elements (yet). We love writing and illustrating ASTHW; it has already become our prized golden child (apart from our two toddlers at home haha). Recently, we have started writing ASTHW side stories besides the usual auxiliary articles for ASTHW. Interested readers could only access them either by subscribing with us on Patreon, or sponsoring a chapter through Ko-fi. Please check our respective sites for more details.

Mrs Mooncat isn't able to write as much as before and has decided to reduce the number of chapters per month to be more realistic. The change will take effect from June 2021 onwards.

Do reach out to us through our email to send fanarts, questions, suggestions, requests etcs. We will come back to you as soon as we can (wink!)

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked. ... more>>

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live well, and to cross out some of her bucket list that she could still do!

'If I can avoid my death, it's good. If not, at least I've enjoyed my additional time here in this fantasy world where magic and monsters exist, where I don't need to slave away my life ridiculously for the corporate!'

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.
What happened to the villainous, hateful woman called Arlea? Why did she become like this? What is she scheming now??
Let's see how long she can keep up her pretense!

Can she avoid her death flag, or will she be able to survive more than the designed 365 days?

Being unable to trust anyone, her only ally was her family. She didn't want to hurt them, she didn't want to bring them down. That's why she determined to become a Lady, enough just to not shame her family, even though it's impossible. Then that night, at her 13th birthday party, the Emperor announced her as the future Empress... ... more>>

In the bustling cityscape, where the world of finance collides with the lively energy of college life, an arranged marriage unites two souls from different worlds - the seasoned, workaholic CEO of the city's largest financial empire and the spirited, carefree college student.... more>>

At the helm of the city's financial juggernaut, the CEO is a man of discipline, dedication, and success. His life is meticulously planned, with every minute accounted for in the pursuit of professional triumphs.

Entrusted with the responsibility of adapting to the conventions of marital life, she endeavors to embody maturity and responsibility. It's a role she is not entirely accustomed to, but one she is determined to play.

As the two embark on their journey of marital companionship, a subtle dynamic takes shape. The workaholic CEO, unknowingly, becomes a guide in the unwritten curriculum of life for his wife. He imparts lessons on structure, discipline, and the importance of perseverance, inadvertently becoming the mentor she never knew she needed.

Simultaneously, the wife, with her effervescent spirit, introduces a splash of spontaneity and joy into the CEO's regimented existence. Through her, he discovers the beauty of life beyond boardrooms and balance sheets, learning that happiness can be found in the simplest of moments.

Together, they navigate the complexities of their relationship, each leaving an indelible mark on the other's life. The story unfolds as a journey of self-discovery, love, and growth. Through trials and tribulations, laughter, and tears, this unlikely couple strives to bridge the gap between their worlds and find a harmonious balance.

As the pages turn, the tale of this arranged marriage transforms into a narrative of transformation, breaking stereotypes, and proving that love can indeed bloom in the most unexpected places. Will the workaholic CEO learn to appreciate the beauty of spontaneity, and will the carefree college student find satisfaction in structure? Join them on this rollercoaster ride of matrimony, where differences become the threads that weave their extraordinary happy-ever-after story. <<less

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world.... more>>

Magic, mad science, multicultural ambience, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M.

Intended for mature audiences, 18+.

~~~*~~~

All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people.

Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use.

Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last?

She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her – especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family?

Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister – and the rekindling of an old flame.

Content/ Mature warnings are on for:

Gore: Nothing terribly extreme. Some bleeding wounds and broken bits, but all limbs remain attached and all innards remain inward.

Sexual Content: It's not all smut all the time, but there is some. I aim for not vague but also not overly lewd. Smut chapters are labeled NSFW. Chapters with very brief smut or just some torrid making out or somesuch are labeled NSFW-ish. All on-screen depictions are consensual, but there are a few passing references to noncon having happened off-screen (not to any MCs).

Strong Language: One character really loves to swear, and could probably construct an entire monologue with just various inflections of the F word. So, yeah, that's on too.

Other CWs: Dark themes (abuse, trauma, ptsd, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms). Mostly in discussions of past events, but there are a few scenes that may be troubling to some readers. <<less
