"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche (...probably?)... more>>

How would you react if one day you found yourself in an environment running on tropes and clichés?

For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this rhetorical question became uncomfortably real on the day he woke up on a strangely pristine island country in the middle of the Atlantic. Without memories, surrounded by characterless placeholders, and with a classic harem protagonist and his various love interests for friends, he tries his best to fit in and figure out what's going on.

That would be difficult enough already, yet his investigation into the rules governing the world, sabotaging the harem tropes, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes, ends up drawing the attention of the world's nebulous narrative...

Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters. <<less

A young woman from Earth wakes up in a cave, disoriented, confused, amnesic and with her lower body replaced by that of a giant spider. She has no idea what she stumbled into and all the extra sensations were definitely not helping. "Did I get reincarnated into a fantasy world?" She's not quite sure. But, the goblin, the troll and (soon enough) the hot elf all suggest "yes."... more>>

As much as it creeps her out, her new body is powerful and flexible in some very interesting 'spidery' ways as she slowly learns to live with it. Combined with what modern knowledge she can still remember, the newly christened Elania soon finds herself building a new life as an adventurer among the elves.

Who knows what awaits her?

Maybe, just maybe, she might even find happiness along the way.

Chapters are minimally edited, I believe there aren't many spelling issues but if you find any don't hesitate to mention them. More editing will be done over time. :)

Having the power of a god isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. On top of handling a god’s many responsibilities, Alouin has to contend with the fact that reality is quickly coming to an end. Isn’t that just wonderful?... more>>

Fortunately, Alouin has help in the form of allies from five, separate iterations of reality. It would help if they would get with the program and actually, you know, help, though.

The Eternal War:

Raimie has been living a nice, boring existence in a safe corner of the woods until he comes across a random sword in the forest, and after that, everything changes. On the run from a powerful magic wielder, he’s forced to accept that he’s the last heir to a royal line, foretold to cast down the ancient evil suppressing his family’s native land. The invisible beings trailing his every step, along with the suspiciously magical anomalies they prompt in him, aren’t helping with that goal. Oh, and if that weren’t enough, the nightmares he’s had all his life have twisted into something weird and yet surprisingly familiar.

Thank the gods for family and the new friend he’s made along the way. Maybe things will turn out ok, if he could get a moment to think.

Oh, nope. There’s another threat coming to wreck his life. Time to run again.

******
This story was initially released on Royal Road.

It will start out very stereotypically for the first few chapters (for epic fantasy at least). If you can tolerate a couple of seeming tropes (i.e. the Chosen One etc.) for 5 or so chapters, I promise that The Eternal War will diverge into much more interesting storylines. I like writing slow burns, taking my time to establish characters etc., before getting into the exciting bits of a story. I also thoroughly enjoy trying to subvert tropes, although how successful I am with that is up to the individual reader, of course.

I will update the book every day until volume one is complete, and after that, I'll switch to a Wednesday/Saturday release schedule. <<less

Aidan was bringing his military career to a close, after a little over six years of fighting on an earth now littered with dimensional tears. As he was on his way out of the military, he found his life cut short as he suddenly blacks out while preparing to depart. The next moment, Aidan awoke in a clearing with no idea where he was, or who he now is. ... more>>

Planned Release is once a week.

Any feedback whatsoever is appreciated; I want to do the best I can for this story.

At CH9 the story shifts perspective from multiple first person perspectives to only the mc first person and third person for the rest. Eventually those chapters will be reworked.

This is my first work so i apologize if your eyes glaze over at any point.

[This is the rewritten version of The Story of a Girl and a Goddess Whose Souls Became Interconnected].
******************************
Plagued by amnesia, a girl awakens on the outskirts of a mysterious forest. Haunted by a constant voice and searing pain, she finds solace in the name given to her by the unseen speaker: Servi.... more>>

Driven by an unyielding urge to live, she cautiously infiltrates a bustling city, clinging beneath the undercarriage of a passing wagon to evade detection. Within the labyrinthine streets, she encounters a kaleidoscope of beings, their animalistic features both captivating and perplexing.

In the grim slums of the city, Servi becomes witness to the heart-wrenching cruelty of a desperate world. Seeking refuge in an abandoned shack, her respite is shattered by the anguished cries of tormented siblings. Unwilling to stand by in silence, Servi confronts their oppressors with nothing but a humble pipe, an act of courage that leads to her demise.

However, death proves elusive as Servi is confronted by Itarr, a goddess imprisoned and shackled by forgotten memories. Bound by a shared purpose, their souls are spliced together in a bid to transcend their confinements and return to the realm of the living.

As Servi and Itarr embark on an extraordinary journey, their intertwined destinies intertwine with a singular goal: to reclaim the goddess's lost memories. In a world steeped in mystery and pain, their quest for identity and purpose will challenge them, unraveling the secrets that lie dormant within their enigmatic existence.
******************************

Content Warning: This story contains graphic depictions of gore, explicit sexual content, and strong language. Reader discretion is advised. Please be aware of the mature themes and provocative scenes present throughout the narrative because it can get quite dark.

What to Expect - Overall: Interconnected: Spliced Souls is about Servi, a girl without any memories, navigating through this new life of hers as a goddess with Itarr's power over the soul. Some chapters will have images, and some of those images are R-18. All images will be within a spoiler box. The beginning of such chapters will have an Author's Note explaining if the images are R-18 or not.

What to Expect - Romance: Servi is a futanari. She becomes one fairly early on in the story, and she will have multiple love interests-- polygamy-- as the story develops.

What to Expect - Tags: More tags will be added as the story develops so as to not spoil anything I have planned. <<less

Release Time:... more>>

Chapters Release Every Friday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. MST

Synopsis:

"What would you do if you suddenly died, and yet... you didn't?"

Elinor is just a sixteen-year-old goth going through some abnormal teenage drama; forced onto a humanitarian aid mission to Venezuela by her parents and grounded, much to her displeasure, this rebellious teenage girl is understandably pissed. The jungle sucks, the bus has no air conditioning, and great, if that's not enough, she's kidnapped! How much worse could it get?

How much worse? Well, how about dying? That's worse. Is she even herself anymore? Irrelevant at the moment. Getting introduced to a not-so-informative System of Undeath? Better. A mysterious golden twin? Okay, maybe we could do without the extra fat. Name her Butter? Seems to fit. Now, alien toad people are attacking and kidnapping her parents. Yeah, things could be better.

Elinor must learn about this new system of undeath, level up, and take back control of her life. Hopefully, she won't get stuck in the alien's world and have to build up an empire to survive. Surely that won't happen... Surely not! Oh, please, don't trap her in an alien world! System Message:

How is UE connected to TO or ATM?

ATM is part of a whole different multiverse (it can still have crossovers but much harder in-verse). Although starting at the same place, UE is set farther from the center of the Maelstrom (a collection of multiverses) of The Oscillation series, so gods can be more powerful here than in TO. UE is connected to my TOverse through the crystal gateways that Elinor encounters here on Earth.
UE follows Elinor as she tries to survive in the chaotic world by building an empire and has to figure out plots that are happening around her, but mostly about the survival of her empire and family with the insane alien threats of these other worlds. TO is mostly happening on Earth and is at the center of the dimensional Maelstrom (more on that will be revealed in time).

Due to the chaos going on, there are rules that limit the power of gods, and what they can do, where UE focuses on the outer zone conflicts, TO focuses on the inner zone conflicts, with mythological, legendary, and godly figures throughout history empowering them and trying to gain their favor.

Sneak Peek:

Next to the kitchen, there was a small squared table and two wooden chairs, each made from different wood. The bookshelf behind those contained a decent amount of books.

I stood up to take a closer look at them and even opened a few out of curiosity. While I could read most of them just fine, some of the oldest-looking books were written in a language I didn't recognize.

"Hm? Was my hand always blue?"

I didn't remember. In fact, I couldn't recall anything about myself, not even my name. Inspecting the rest of my body, I found that it was the same all over. I didn't feel sick; quite the opposite. Still, my blue skin felt out of place for some reason. Trying to find an answer to my situation, I kept investigating the odd room.

Gregory Forsythe woke up one morning to discover that he had been transformed into a super-hot woman, but this was less immediately pressing than the fact that she was surrounded by enormous plant aliens she had no memory of, but who all seemed to know her — that she had lost time, years of experience, to a tragic accident. Bereft of her own history, she tries to rebuild a sense of who she became while she wasn't looking, and why the person she became made the choices she did.... more>>

Jess Lophophora, Third Floret woke up one morning to discover that all her dreams had come true, albeit not how she would have expected them to — that, though she was now a digitized sophont, things had not gone according to her Admin's plan. Rather than a slow-and-steady preservation of continuity, she'd been forked, copied from her original biological brain onto synthetic substrate. She has all the Tillandsia's digital landscape to play with, but she also has an ortet to her ramet, and must find a niche for herself in a world where, technically, she already exists.

This story is a sequel to No Gods, No Masters; it's highly recommended you read that story first.

The Dollchip was created in military labs, as a means to quickly create usable soldiers. The entertainment industry put a... creative spin on its use. Most gangs in Night City also dabble in said industry, while also servicing the more dubious wants of clients, leading to many a tragic fate that make Scavs look appealing. Caught in one such fate, what does one do? With new knowledge and chrome, return the implant to what it was originally intended to be. So pick up the pieces and reassemble into something new.

So here goes, first ever story I'm deciding to flesh out and post. This is basically my first time writing anything longer than... more>> an essay, do please leave feedback. The idea for this story came from datashards in cp77 (See: Cyberpsycho Sightings: Smoke on the Water) and while I was at it I added a missfired isekai in there. I'm trying to find a way to have MC become OP without any system or magic bs, let me know how well you think I managed. When/if I eventually get there. I think I struggle with balancing environment descriptions and moment to moment acts with moving along the story in a timely fashion. Again, please do leave feedback.
Quick disclaimer: I'm not going to write smut in this. Writing gore I'm fine with, but actually writing any details about said tragic fate that I am teasing will not happen. Besides the unknown horror having more impact, some things are just better left unsaid. Also, I hope I ticked all the right boxes for Content Guidelines and stuff. Tag suggestions are welcome, alot of them are technically applicable, but maybe not accurate (yet, hopefully). I do not own Cyberpunk 2077 or any related copyrights.

The only thing the mage remembers is his death. He sees echoes of a war long lost and a fallen city vanished in the sands of time. He died but now he breathes again? He finds himself in a new form and given a new name and someone to protect. The mage turned hydra is bonded to the girl he now calls master. Bjorn lost his old life and when Freja’s life is threatened he will do everything in his power to protect her and maybe find his memories along the way.... more>>

"The Chronicles of a Scalebound Sage: Reincarnated as a Hydra" follows Bjorn as he protects Freja, his new master. She is scorned, beaten and disowned from her family for being a failure in the arcane arts. The two must lean on each other for strength to survive in a world of monsters and magic. This is a LitRPG adventure where every victory is a hard fought and death is quick to claim those that lack resolve.

Jordan Johannesburg is just your average guy. Well he would be, if it weren't for the fact that he's perpetually haunted by something called a Stand. What's a Stand? Well they say Stands are a reflection of the shape of your soul given physical form. Like a persona, or a caricature of the User. Well Jordan's soul just so happens to take the shape of a demonic doll ghost that can do blood magic, of all things. Combined with these powers, JoJo and RoseGold go on a journey of self reflection that takes the shape of your typical Shonen. But this time with girls love and transfemme elements. This story explores the psychological aspects of... more>> being haunted, being super mentally ill, and being a bit of a manipulative girly. All accompanied with mysteries, lies, and several high octane fight scenes. Ora Ora~!

This story is loosely a fanfiction set in the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by the mangaka Hirohiko Araki. I do not intend to make this fiction to say that I can write jojo's better than he can. I cannot! I'm just writing this because I wanted to mess around with the concept of stands and stuff with a backdrop of my own complexes and issues. So there's gonna be LOTS ofinconsistencies between this and the source material, namely with the fact that the main character is a trans girl egg that will crack part of the way through the story, and that there's a magic system. You don't need to know JJBA before reading this, but it certainly does help.
