Fukaze Honzo is a 16-year-old student that frequently struggles with... well existing. Set in the rather 'boring' suburbs of Takabata, in Nagoya, Honzo has a hard time trying to come to terms with himself, despite his clear privileged status in society and a friendship group. He suffers from episodes of depersonalization, with him feeling like an outsider within his own body. As he starts the second year, he finally recognizes that this gloomy and negative personality might need to change, or at least improve his outlook. Just as fortune may have it, there's an idealist, maybe even naive, senpai who invites him, and his friends to a brand new school club. ... more>>

It's called the Culture & Travel Club. A club all about making the community a better place and learning all about the world. And that all starts here, in Nagoya. Despite this, Honzo still needs to navigate the absurdities of living. One day, he might start appreciating himself. Perhaps, even someone else, too.

Warning: There are some topics that might be a bit upsetting. The characters talk about murder/manslaughter and crime as well as a vehicular accident.

There is no pattern to dropping anymore but I try on Tuesdays. This is also the first web-novel I've written, so I really have no idea if it's even adequate. I literally only started writing for fun and a month later, I have now written enough for at least someone else to read. I'm really just talking about genuine social issues that apply to both my home nation and, not trying to be patronizing, Japan too within the confines of a romcom that's wholesome enough for someone to probably ignore the issues raised.

Thanks, if you're reading this and I hope you at least had a modicum of enjoyment, if you do read the story.

Also, I know Fukaze Honzo's name makes literally no sense <<less

All are original characters. There will be some illustrations/portraits painted by me using traditional mediums :) Sometimes the links get broken, so I really appreciate that if you let me know!

There are 8 arcs planned, this is currently the first arc. Sometimes I'll go through and update with more details/plot points as they shift around, so don't be surprised if some details in old chapters change!

Currently posting a new chapter every Saturday and sometimes Wednesday if I've made extra progress.

Set some decades into the future so I can play around with technology.

General content warnings/disclaimer: There will be some laws broken, violence, verbal threats, involuntary confinement, breaking and entering, arson, body modification, poisoning, occasional death. You might call the genre cozy crime. The tone will generally be kept light and the characters may seem callous at times. This is many of the characters are criminals. They are not meant to be role models. Do not take this story as legal advice, security advice, or as a guide on how to commit crimes. This is fiction and any resemblance to people, places, and things real or imagined are coincidence. <<less

Silias was reborn as the son of the villainess from an otome game. The catch? Well, the otome game already ended. While most would dislike this position Silias only had one thing to say.

Author Note: This is an amateur's work so the chapter will be a bit wonky or uptight.
This is my first work so I will try my best. Also read the tags since there will be sensitive topics(which I don’t encourage). The descriptions will not be explicit or anything like that. The action and after effect of any of these will not be accurate to IRL so don’t use it as reference. The character will only do sexual activities when they turn 18+. So at most they will hug or hold hands when they are children. <<less

Long ago, the world was overrun by demons and magic. From the ashes, adapting, using the very things that once ruined it, an unbalanced and flawed society was built. At its center were the witches, women able to wield otherworldly powers.... more>>

Witches use their abilities and knowledge to serve the people, hunt the monsters afflicting their daily lives, research and study those creatures to create new magical tools and gadgets, strengthening and furthering civilization, hoping one day they can regain what was once lost. That is their purpose.

Dailah, a young low-ranked witch from the boonies, is on her way to join the world of witches in the big city. As a novice, she'll be part of a unit responsible for dealing with and preventing the proliferation of magical pests. A straightforward and boring job, they told her.

Yet, as if afflicted by an unknown curse, time and again the path she follows shows itself to be more arduous - and dangerous - than she initially bargained for. <<less

P.S. Nice to meet you, my name is Bogdan and I am the author of the screenplay you can read below. Before you proceed to familiarize yourself with my work, I would like to share some details.
This is not the light novel you're accustomed to seeing here. This is the screenplay for a visual novel that I, along with my friends, wrote for the Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam. Below is a link to our game. Unfortunately, there is no English version available yet, but we will add one soon.
This story about Nika and Yuri is very important to me because I wrote it after breaking up with my girlfriend, and to be honest, I was shattered. At that moment, it seemed easier to die than to continue living. Overall, everything was fine for me until then, but after the breakup, I found myself for the first time standing in front of the mirror, thinking that there was no real purpose in continuing to live.

But thanks to my friends and the writing of this story, I managed to pull myself back. Perhaps my state wasn't as dire as I thought, but the support of close people and engaging in creative work helped me see a distant glimmer of hope in life.

Initially, we thought that everything would end with the jam, but after it ended, I decided that I wanted to make more out of this story. I didn't just want to tell the story of one couple, but I wanted to try to help people who are also going through a breakup and don't know what to do next. <<less

I start to pace, my mind going back through tonight's events, wondering if I might have missed something. Maybe he forgot… I don't know why I think that every time.

This cave is one of the very scarce constants in this landscape of dancing destruction. The Scar is always persistently changing, yet not, the tornados wreaking havoc in their predictably twisting and reckless ways.

The Scar remains a weird kind of maze of canyons and ravines that have been continuously carved by endless parades of swirling pillars of dust, dirt, debris, and anything else that gets caught up in it. Tornadoes dictate the landscape for miles on all sides, some taking the same paths over and over, enough so that mapping them has been a tedious, yet not impossible, task for nearly a full decade now. For the research cartographers and various elders of specific areas of expertise... Not me, specifically.

I'm just a TumbleTech.

The Tumbler is a magnificent little creation that essentially acts as storm debris at the very least, personalized rocket at most, depending on the size of the fuel tank and the kick behind the thrusters on a 360° rotation. Also, it can tow a two-ton wreckage comb like it’s nothing–those handy debris-collecting honey-comb-looking cages the Rovers use to scavenge for treasures of an ancient world. <<less
