Valentine's Special <<less

Allegedly, compared to straight dating, queer dating apps are far more wholesome and conversations are far more likely to lead to dates. But this couldn't be true, right?

He'll just have to spend a week pretending to be a girl online to do it.... more>>

"The catgirls have nothing to lose but their collars. They have a world to win.
WORKING CATS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!"... more>>

Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes, humans, and bipedal, humanoid cats. Known as the “cat paradise”, the nation boasts an impressive population of around nine million domestic catfolk with even more unaccounted-for strays. The “nekonomy” of Japan is the largest in the world; many would assume that such a large economy would trickle down to bring prosperity to the catfolk.

Prosperity for the common cat is nothing but a dream in a catpitalist system rife with fat-cats and nekonomic exploitation.

Cats, those that are “domestic” at least, are second-class citizens who can only freely travel with government-issued certification in the form of a bell around their neck. Those who don’t have a family are less than second-class citizens; strays (which compromise a majority of the cat population) are forced into workhouses and exploited as cheap labor. Those who cannot work in a profitable manner are kicked out of the workhouses and left to die on the harsh streets.

Despite these abysmal conditions, most people pay no mind to the horrors of the nekonomy. Many go about their day, enjoying cheap products manufactured from the blood and sweat of the catfolk.

Who do mind are the exploited catfolk themselves; a specter is haunting Japan – the specter of total nekonomic collapse, aided by another specter from a century past. <<less

Several hundred lifetimes ago, there was a phrase that history would later on quote Lalauri as having said several dozen times throughout Enchantyon’s history. Even in the modern era of the Arcane Age, she found herself saying it in the aftermath of her latest adventure:

“Give me a monster, and I will hack it to pieces. Show me villainy, and I will serve it with righteous annihilation.”

But instead, the Holy Faun saw fit to give her a child.

Upon their arrival in Aureate, Lalauri and Keridwen will have to face the threats and challenges that had been looming in the background while Lalauri was away. Threats that were only just barely fended off by the staff of Lalauri’s home, Imafenduwell Hall.

All the while, the warrior elf maiden and the lonely human orphan must find a way to settle in together, and in doing so are forced to come to grips with their new reality of guardian and child.

I wrote this novel beforehand in my spare time after work, and then I tried to translate it. Yes, English isn't my first language, and I'm trying my best to edit and translate it with the help of Grammarly. I can say that it'll be readable, at the bare minimum. :))

This story will be published on other platforms too, such as Royal Road and Tapas. Well, I want to spread my story as much as I want.

The new chapter will come on the weekend, be it on Saturday or Sunday (GMT+7). Yes, I need some time to translate everything even though the story is already finished.

What to expect from this story:
> Multiple characters' POV.
> There are two specific MCs.
> Dynamic romance relationships and intricate drama.
> Contemporary setting since the characters travel from the future to the present era.

Hopefully, anyone can find my story amusing and keep reading it until the end. Thank you, and happy reading. <<less
