Wen Zhihao is tired of life. When he dies...meh. That’s life.... more>>

But when he gets transmigrated into the body of a young cultivator of the prestigious Golden Sun sect, full of possibilities...no thanks! He has no effort/energy to work hard on cultivation! He just wants to be a salted fish!

...it turns out sleeping = meditation and absently watching beautiful scenery = meditation.

And meditation = cultivation...

This is not the Dao of Indifference. This is the Dao of the Salted Fish!! With calm emotions, Wen Zhihao accidentally cultivates strongly!

...but he’s still a salted fish, bah. Don't make him fight!

What's this? One plothole, two plotholes... plotholes everywhere!

How do you counter a novel full of plotholes?
Of course, with constant bullshit, constant crap and constant nonsense!

Terrifying!

Long live holy creator Frozen Milk!

"Damn! What the hell is this?? Wasn't this supposed to be a comedy rip off? A parody? So, why are all my characters leeching onto me? Do I look like a bamboo stick to climb and eat? To stick in between your cheeks?"

"Hello? System help?"

Frozen Milk was nearing his despair. Bent, straight, bent, straight, bent, STRAIGHT!!!!

First book in the 'Scum Series' <<less

Trapped in an opulent mansion and adorned in a medieval dress, Eydis the maid (or Amelia, homeless in her modern world), the reigning queen of snark, grapples with a unique ability – her thoughts burst forth like fireworks. No magic, just relentless noise, a gift bestowed by none other than the wicked witches of the woods.... more>>

Now, armed with daggers of sarcasm, a penchant for mischief and a seductive allure, Eydis plunges into a convoluted tapestry of secrets. She deftly sidesteps shadows, untangles the threads of her own forgotten past, and battles to quiet the chorus in her head before everything erupts.

Can a girl without magic outsmart witches, monsters, nobles flaunting well-endowed magical abilities, or a roommate who despises her, to rewrite prophecies, and uncover the truth about her existences, all before everything descends into chaos?

Author's note: prominently GL (slow burn), but also features all kind of loves.
- The smut will feature organically in later chapters (much later), this isn’t a smut-centric work. <<less

Leander is a healer. But he is not like those healers who have it all: the fame, the money and the harems. Because he is chubby. Ranked only F, he struggles with life as a new recruit in the Adventurer's Guild. Until he sees a poster that changes his life and sends him on a journey to lose weight, get the fame, money and the harem. Except, his harem will be full of men. But, such is fate. ... more>>

This is a slow burn BL harem with dungeon delving. It follows the old adventurer's guild troupes with some twists and turns. A journey from zero to hero, one could say.

I am also posting this on Ritoria.

(I am using this book to lie to my brain that losing weight is possible with the methods written in the many self-help books I have been reading recently. If you need to shed some fat, you might use Anti-cake Dungeon Delving the same way. A little hope never hurt nobody.)

Updated daily. The MC becomes a dungeon core going chapter 86 and forward.

The sort of sequel: Life Skilling, is out. <<less

Beggar is just a small beggar boy, who doesn't know anything in life but hunger and hardship. Yet, one Christmas day, as he begged near... more>> the church, an elf gave him a sandwich. Beggar did his best to find a job at the docks, now that his belly was full. That led him to beginner bounty hunting. One of the jobs led him back to the elf, and the young demon's life changed for the better. Follow him along, as he becomes a one of a kind runesmith, and follows his dreams.
The series consists of two books:
A Demon's Childhood- 50 chapters
A Demon's Academy Days- 33 chapters

The youngest child of the Kent family was a strange kid, for numerous reasons. For one thing, they were half-Kryptonian with developing superpowers. For another, they had Superman for a father. But the reason that the Man of Steel's youngest child felt strange wasn’t their unusual friends, educational circumstances, growing super strength or their family’s odd fashion choices. No, it was something deeper… Something personal, that the child was about to discover soon...... more>>

You know the setup: A young man on Earth hit by a speeding truck who ends up in a generic fantasy world.

But what about this: A young man in a generic LitRPG fantasy world hit by a carriage who ends up in modern-day San Francisco, and yet still wants to be a hero anyway? That's how Systemless starts, and boy does it never let up.

----------------------------------------

The system can be accepted by anyone who decides to Class Up using the world’s various Sorting Scepters. From then on, leveling up will be possible, but it could come at the cost of one's life. All actions one takes, from combat to breathing, take from their pool of LP (Life Points). Run out, and so too will they perish. The only way to replenish one's LP is to level up and learn new skills.

Eryk Solbourne chooses the [Adventurer] class, destined to explore great worlds, fight magnificent beasts, and inspire others. Now he is a D-Rank hero, but he will forge a powerful destiny for himself... and he will do so in a new world, after The Goddess reincarnates him in a brand-new Earth that is in desperate need of his abilities.

Join Eryk Solbourne and his two Earthen friends Francis and Delta as they adventure across the United States and try to achieve the impossible: becoming the ultimate hero in a world where levels don't even exist.

Diets...well, Thomas must have gone through them all. He would lose some weight, then gain it back, plus about as much of the extra weight. As a receptionist at the Orestria adventurer's guild, he doesn't get the chance to exercise much. Not that he can, seeing as his endurance is low. ... more>>

Then, just as he stopped a new diet, he gets told that an S ranked vampire is offering seminars and couching on weight loss. With no other alternative and not wanting to gain all his two kilograms that he had lost with the last diet, Thomas decides to give it a chance. All Lucius asks for is one litter of blood every three days as payment. And, so, Thomas learns about the magical zone.

And then he puts it to the test. Then, the other diet that he cooks up. After that, the next...

No smut. This is a fat to fit journey with meal plans. I am currently on this diet, so the MC's progress will be the same as my own. You can easily follow the meal plans, if you need to.

The story will be updated at 7 am EEST. It is a book, 70 chapters, and complete. <<less

Ophelia Heide couldn't wait to become a new advisor for the Moon Castle and take her father's place! Well...... more>>

That was until she was saved by Leo, a fairy who protected the Galaxy Kingdom. To pay off her debt to him, she was stuck with the task of reuniting the two sides after the capricious kings had a war over... something. Not knowing where to start, she accidentally found her heart captured by the couple's daughter, Princess Koharu, but neither girl ever thought they would flirt with the boundaries of time and history to fight for their love.

Unfortunately, things weren't easy for Leo either as he worked to save the couple, unlocking the secrets of the kingdoms' administrations in the process. What he didn't expect was to find himself falling for an elusive messenger named Sinclair throughout it all, but would his heart allow them to come in?

In this BL Harem romcom, you will find Augustine. He is a Song weaver, someone who can fight, heal, and buff with the harp. The problem? Even though he is an ok adventurer, the only thing he wants to do is cook, and hunt. Then one day, his mother, who is also his agent, gets him to party with Vincent, the first member of his new party.
Vincent is an archer, and he must have this break through, or he will be kicked out of the Adventurer's Guild. Along the way, the party grows into something more. With each of the members buttering up Tine with recipes, and hoping that they'll get to be... more>> his big spoon. As for Augustine?

Sort of the sequel to Anti-cake Dungeon Delving, but it won't focus too much on those characters. Just in the same universe, and they might have some cameos, but won't steal the show.

Orion is a vampire, whose greatest fear is unwashed villagers with pitchforks. Still, he is strong, avoids the villages and towns, and lives his life, wanting for something more than that. One day, a vampire tries to get in his territory, and he kills him. A small book is the most peculiar loot he got from the fallen bloodsucker. ... more>>

The book promises him that he could be peaceful and accepted by the villagers, as long as he puts in the work. So, he does.

This is a self-help book for vampires, who don't want to get strapped to pyres. If you are a vampire, do read on. If you are not, know that Truck-kun is ever watchful, and you might end up as one in another world. So, this book will be helpful for you, in that case.

(Seeing as a couple of people asked for this book, I will finish it. I promise.)

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book One of
the Cosmos Shared Universe is a place which
is not as desolate as it appears.... more>>

Can you bottle happiness? Apparently, you can, and Constantine Angelid is rather good at it, actually. So good, in fact, that it amuses him to ply this trade on a forum in the Dark Web. Yet, he meets an interesting human there, who makes him question all of his truths.
Daniel was just looking for fresh ideas in the Tor browser for his new book. Now, he is involved in the new Dimensional Theory, and the case for disappearing happiness potions that spans all over the Cosmos.
He is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come to Ursula 590, a planet in the Ursula Solar System. He gets to be with Constantine, once he finds out he is not only a shaman, but a shaman that can use the core of a planet to power up his spells.
I wrote this last year so I don't remember much about what happened in the book, but I do know it is in 1st person with POVs. The book is complete, and will be updated daily, until I run out of chapters. Enjoy!
The Cosmos Shared Universe is made up from 3 books, which will be posted here in this book page:
Bottle it up!
Dungeon Integration! (dungeon core)
Book Two of the Cosmos Shared Universe
(Sequel to Bottle It Up!)
An m/m fantasy novel with sci-fi elements,
and comedic undertones.
In a world where happiness can be bottled, a dungeon core is displaced from his home when a baby dungeon core sprouts in his backyard.
He’s lucky that a human who is also an immigrant in the Cosmos has grown attached to him. Nathaniel agrees to help Tim spread his influence over the planet Ursula 590.
The problem? Well, dungeon cores might be as numerous as mushrooms in the New Cosmos, but they are unknown in the Cosmos. From petitions to kidnapping attempts, the integration of one World Dominating Dungeon Core has never been as complicated. And, if he can’t win the citizens of Ursula 590 over, then, he will be cast out into outer space.
From Scorpio with Love! (dungeon core)
I will add the dungeon core tag when I start posting Dungeon Integration.

From Scorpio With Love

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book Three of
the Cosmos Shared Universe. A place which
is not as desolate as it appears.

Wei is a dungeon core and finally getting a planet of his own. However, despite his best efforts, he can’t gain a form. The only thing he can do is protect the interests of the Dru’dru natives of the planet, a task that seems almost impossible with the recent development coming to light.
Rodger Deltona is appalled at the actions of his fellow citizens of the Cosmos. Not only are they demanding that the Dru’dru are to give back the gold left on their planet, they are also demanding that the Dru’dru penguins be reprogrammed, and without a trial.
Rodger takes radical actions, in defense of the poor birds. But is he enough to hold back the tides? Can he and Wei work together, despite their rocky start? Will the Cosmos accept a chimera species, the product of human experimenting? <<less

How come the vampire who turned him can't do it? ... more>>

A vampire turning another into a vampire is deadly for them. Follow Julius as he travels, and ends up in Hungary, where he meets Ferenc. The very picture of an aristocratic vampire.
