As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless... more>> void that slowly consumes oneself...

But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same fate of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra...

/Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear:

1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.
2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.
3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.
4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.
5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.
6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.
7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good.

Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./

I'll be adding this to Royal Road, because why not, right?

Aren't you tired of the typical cultivation story, where an isekai'd person comes into the world and becomes a brutal or selfish person? I know I am. So instead of being fully changed by the world, I want this protagonist to stick to their beliefs and help to change the world (and people) for the better. There will still be main character development and tests of those beliefs, but I want them to maintain that aspect.... more>>

Brief Synopsis:
American is thrown into a typical Xuanhuan cultivation world where the masses of the people are typically sacrificed for the abilities of the few. This is meant to be an alternate take on how protagonists approach these worlds. Main character comes into the world w/ scanning, healing, and monster taming abilities.

The schedule is 2 chapters/week (Tue & Fri) at 11pm. Please like, comment, and follow, as that helps me to gauge interest in the series.

Final note: I notice that many cultivation novels treat abuse or sexual assault as a throwaway tool to set a stage. I think the way it is normally done is both lazy and a disrespectful to victims. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the way I've done it in this series, please let me know.

I want to do this the right way.

Binding herself to a monster was the only option Lyra had to save the woman she’d started to love. Worse, as part of the bargain it was ensured that Lyra’s magic, her soul songs, are cursed and sealed. To call on them without permission will inflict horrid pain that damages her soul.... more>>

Her new master is also the most gorgeous and terribly striking woman Lyra has ever laid eyes on, and this monster knows how to use that to break her new charge's will. Now Lyra must learn new ways to weave her magical songs into dark and agonizing melodies, else prove herself nothing more useful than a soul to be devoured.

What To Expect!

1. Reality is the dream of a dead goddess (NOT the MC) whose rotting mind can be felt at the edges of the worlds. Do not wake her up... please.
2. Matriarchal societies with tall and buff soul drinking Reavers, Beholder inspired mafia types, and song wielding shapeshifting Fae.
3. Sex is in this story, and serves to illustrate emotional growth, pain, and eventually the spark of hope for our heroine.
4. Trauma! D: Lyra is young and naïve whereas her mistress is cunning, cruel, and manipulative. Her affections are literally cultivated and used as tools to keep the young Fae bound to this monster's wills and whims.
5. Weekly updates, but also extra weekly updates because this writer has no self-control and needs help.

Lamentations of the Dead Dreamer is a dark adult fantasy story. It involves themes and topics of abuse (mental, physical, phycological, etc...), suicide ideation, sex, mild language things, slavery, and abandonment.

Formerly titled "Transmigrating into the Main Character's Rival"
Kayla is a burned-out college graduate who's neck-deep in student debt, working in a minimum-wage job, and about to be evicted from her apartment. The night before she's forced to move out, she falls asleep while thinking that, "Maybe if I was born into a rich and powerful family, my life would be better." ... more>>

When Kayla wakes up, she is in the body of a young master of a Duke's household, a minor villain in the web novel she'd been reading. Not only was he a completely hopeless fool, but he was also doomed to die within the first three chapters as a catalyst for the main plot! Now, Kayla has to deal with living in the body of a man while trying to survive as the main character's short-lived political rival. She'd rather roll over and play dead than take on a fight, but for some reason, the main character only seems to be paying more attention to her. <<less

On her last life, she was the devil. If not for her waywardness the people she cared about would not suffer. If not for her pride she could have lived a good life. After rebirth Sena vowed not to let herself fall into the trap again. ... more>>

Wait, who said you must abuse enemies as soon as you made a come back?

She was born with a golden spoon, educated by an intelligent mother and loved by many. Better use it wonderfully this time.

Drugged and slept with a stranger?

Well, not Sena.

Evil best friend? She doesn't have one.

Although she doesn't have them, the people she loved does!

As a capable side character, this time it will be her turn to protect them. As for those who harmed them... hehe, a few occasional slaps is enough. Everything seems to be on track so how could she mess up?

She was about to fulfill her wish of a good life when a certain person popped up then suddenly the 'sleeping with the stranger' thing was dredged up.

Hey, that was done in a completely mutual agreement. No hard feelings.

Him: What if I wanted to pursue?

Sena: Fart, we've gone over this--- you, d-don't come close. We've talked about this. We've clean the slate!

Him: Did you hear me agree?

Sena: ( ･ᴗ･̥̥̥ )

=======================================
This novel is made purely for enjoinment (there will be plenty of loopholes and expect plenty of cliché) so please don't take it personally. Male lead is a healthy adult man, don't expect him to be as indifferent and pure as a monk because that's impossible given his background setting. Names of countries are deliberately changed and character names are chosen in random. Author's English is average but we will try to deliver a smooth narrative to lessen your headache. :)

Author is lazy...

This is a slow-burn isekai story about a young girl named Siya who was born with a weak body into a world that only cares about Strength. Because of this, she isn’t able to even use the only thing she has going for her, a knack for strategy, which is the last thing that the nation of meat heads seems to care about.

She faces many hardships and trials, struggling through abuse, grueling training, and seeing death around every turn. Despite all of this, she presses on, grasping at straws and using everything at her disposal to survive. Turning to devine favor, unique abilities, and even magic and dark magic later on, they each come with a new problem. As she finds unlikely friends, and deals with unthinkable betrayals, she struggles to finally stand tall and place herself in a position of power where her true abilities could finally shine.

This is NOT a revenge story, but that isn’t to say the main character magically forgives people either. <<less

James Toranaga is a twelve year old boy dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault. He’s doing okay. The memories are tough, and the world feels a little rougher than it used to, but he’s a strong kid with a loving family to support him. ... more>>

It sure makes his emerging sexuality harder to deal with, though. He doesn’t want to think about it.

Luckily, he has the perfect distraction: he can fly.

But these strange new powers may bring dangers of their own. He is not the only one who has them.

Triggers: Explores the aftereffects and recovery process of sexual abuse, and some other forms of physical abuse. I like to think I avoided making it edgy, but you deserve to be informed. Some readers have told me that it can feel a bit too real at times. A bit too honest.

Three Warriors.
One dungeon.
Limitless darkness...... more>>

In the land of Averix, one threat looms large over the entire realm: the great gaping pit in the earth known as The Everloft - a sentient dungeon with ten floors, all more gruesome than the last. For centuries this rot-infested chasm has lured adventurers to their doom with promises of riches beyond belief, only to swallow them one by one.

Now, in the cold breath of winter, three more unsuspecting mortals shall vow to traverse the darkness of the dungeon. And, while their motives might be quite different from each other, one truth remains:

The Everloft hungers. And they shall be its finest meal.

Kendall is a young teen who struggles to cope with her past of sexual abuse by beating down Robbie, her classmate, in any way she can. As the years go on, her bullying grows more vicious, and it begins to emotionally break down Robbie with no signs of her stopping.

In a desperate attempt to get Kendall to stop, one of her teachers steps in to talk to her about waking up her anima, the mental manifestation of a person's inner self. However, anima hold far more power than Kendall expects, and can possibly push both Kendall and Robbie to their breaking points.

Even in Chains is a story about the recovery and management of various forms of trauma. This means it will dive into content that some may find uncomfortable. From relentless bullying, alcoholism, loss of loved ones, sexual abuse, self-harm and suicide. With that said, this story is not a tragedy. We hope you enjoy our story.

So they get powers, I get nothing but a journal, my family hates me, and if I ever do something that stands out enough to be caught by a 'God' I'm going to die?

In a time long past, the human race emerged triumphant over the dragons, sealing their majestic beings into mortal bodies known as dragonoids. Unfortunately, this victory led to the subjugation of the dragonoids by their human counterparts, who harnessed their powers as military weapons through the ominous Vesryn Pulse. Amidst this bleak reality, a glimmer of hope emerged in the form of Arcadia, a daring guerilla group led by the charismatic Estoff Wraith, striving to liberate the dragonoids and put an end to humanity's cruel exploitation.... more>>

Within this tumultuous backdrop, the intertwining destinies of two individuals would shape the course of events. Amphere Harrison, accompanied by his loyal dragonoid partner, Airelina Frembell, found himself thrust into the Dragon Knight Academy. Unwillingly thrust into the resistance against the oppressive government, Amphere must harness his newfound dragonoid abilities and emerge victorious in the treacherous Dragon Knights Tournament, all in hopes of earning the favor of the princess. This, they believe, will serve as a crucial first step towards granting the dragonoids the freedom they so desperately deserve.

Vesryn Pulse weaves a gripping tale of action and intrigue, centering around a young man unwittingly caught in the clutches of a brutal war. Possessing incredible skills and abilities, he becomes a catalyst for uncovering the dark secrets shrouding the government, Arcadia, and the enigmatic Vesryn Pulse. However, in his relentless pursuit of truth, he will soon discover that the price of enlightenment is far greater than he ever could have fathomed.
