'An ill-fated prince marked for death, a trickster imprisoned by the gods...together, they might gain the strength to change their ill fate.' ... more>>

Bram of House Attilan is a prince with an ill fate. For in a land where sorcery is the dominant force, a young man cursed with a body lacking talent for even basic spells is scorned by nobles and commoners alike. Fortunately for Bram, as a child of the Sovereign who rules the Atlan Imperium, even an ‘Ill-Fated Prince’ is given a chance to prove his worth…and Bram means to do just that.

Believing that a talentless man can achieve success by gathering talented people to work under him, Bram, the newly appointed governor of Lotharin, one of the twelve kingdoms that make up the imperium, devises an ingenious plot to use a 'self-improvement system' called the ‘Loom’ to develop the talented people his kingdom needs.

Such an undertaking will require the aid of a master trickster—one powerful enough to help Bram kidnap humans from a world called Earth to enlist their expertise in performing the greatest trick ever sold; hoodwinking their fellow Earthers into believing they’re playing a videogame while they work to solve the many troubles plaguing Bram’s kingdom, thus giving him the talents he needs to make Lotharin great again...and finally prove himself a worthy prince.

Fate had truly been cruel to him. But blaming her for his misfortune was a waste of time. She’s neither right nor fair—she’s blind. She could not see whose thread she was weaving.

Erf paid the price for his power, even if it was too much. He received a boon, even if it was too great. And now he needs to survive in an alien world while ensuring the safety of his estranged family. As the world will push him deeper and deeper into his shell.... more>>

But all shells eventually break. The question is — what will emerge from it?

This is the second book of my "Forgotten Dream of Tana" series that continues the story of Erf in a different world. While knowing the first is preferable for maximum enjoyment, it is designed to be read as stand-alone. This is an adult story for a mature audience — expect a similar style as the original story, but the plot continues and, with it, the new tags emerge. <<less

What to expect from this story:
- No harems, not unless they're a harem of gold coins.
- Silliness, lots of it. The story doesn't take itself too seriously, so you shouldn't either.
- The only kind of OP here is how "overpriced" the crab's deals are.
- A system simple enough for a crab to use, but still conveniently complex when necessary, for some odd reason.
- Proper realistic adventurers: they're not very bright, and they make very poor decisions.
- Did I mention there will be pastries? <<less

To play the game of politics, one must be brave or foolish, but better to appear both and be neither. Countess Julia Augstadt lost her mother in childbirth, her father to an accident ten years ago, living in the shadow of the Royal Palace by a betrothal to the Crown Prince, only for that to be annulled with her eighteenth birthday approaching. There is no justice but that which can be administered with one’s own hands, no power but for that which one personally yields, and there is no evil which cannot be justified with greatness. It is a shame, then, that she has decided there is no greatness left in the lands she calls... more>> home.

The Usual. Reborn as a Noble of Somekind. Into a world of Swords and Magic. He has broken abilities that make no sense. Nonsense, just got that. Meets a lot of girls who follow the protagonist around but he never actually sleeps with them, so like why is he putting up with them. Yada, yada, yada.... more>>

Except this is different. I know I may sound desperate in trying to justify this to you, but I swear it is. You see this time our protagonist is from the future, and while only being like twenty or so, has centuries of experience gained inside VR games.

Also, I am going to use a cliche isekai setting but have our protagonist a bit more down to earth. Wait, does that saying still count?

In the world where gods have maturities of kindergarten. Where nations rule by political backstabbing and power supremacy. In a multiverse where power is the symbol of fear.

In that world, the Queen of Good played her reverse card.

That day marks the resurrection of an old fashion ideal. It is the gathering of naïve fools who believe the Right makes Might. But these, like many fools before them, will change the world.

God is a pervert.... more>>

I decided that after I died and found myself in heaven.

Although I’m happy that God offered to grant my lifelong wish (to become a girl), the only potential bodies that he offered as options were beautiful bishojos with DDD-size boobs, jade-like skin, and porn-star like curves. He tried to convince me to take the one with the biggest ass and thus become the holy sex princess of some freakish isekai magic kingdom, but I immediately flushed a bright tomato color and punched God right in the face without thinking.

Ah yeah, whoops.

Anyways, I think I made God really angry at me, so now I’m reincarnated in this horrible traumatizing medieval setting as a genuinely unattractive and flat-as-a-washboard girl with some kind of weird autoimmune skin condition.

Every day is a struggle, and it’s taking everything I have to merely survive.

Is there a hope for a better life at all? Even amidst this jungle of darkness, can I find my way out of poverty, meet new people to love, and aspire to make my mark towards a better world?

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she will fight and scheme her way into developing a poor backward colony into an Empire that can equally contend against her motherland as she makes allies, befriends locals and gathers the ‘Unblessed Ones’ who have otherworldly knowledge to create a modern Nation in a world where Magic is predominant.
