Dreams.
I never thought much about them.
Mostly for the point that I could never remember any of mine.
And the bits and pieces that remain would never make sense.
This is what dreams are like after all.
Just some random mix, thrown together by an unstable mind to get over the stuff which bothered one during the day.
At least that's what I thought.
Until they turned against me.
Twisted everything I knew and turned my whole existence into a nightmare.
But the thing is...... more>>

It's mine. <<less

I’ve always been afraid of spiders.
The scholars call it Arachnophobia.
It would be wrong to call that feeling hatred.
I couldn't even come close... more>> to them much less cause any kind of harm.
They just utterly terrify me.
However, sometimes life forces you to face your fears.
Though, I would take any other option sometimes there simply is none.
You can't run away from yourself.
Even if eight legs carry you a lot faster than two. <<less

'Was a fan of all things Otaku. That said, being isekai'd is a bit much, no?' Young man from the real world passes on, and wakes up in a medieval society, without any of the things that brought him pleasure in life. 'But isn't this a chance to start a-new?' Only time will tell as Rudeus decides to makes the best of his new life, but still though... y does his new name sound so familiar? ... more>>

An OC insert story, but my twist on it. Do not expect a stereotypical story, things won't always go the protagonist way. Being OP doesn't mean your life is easy.

The Original story was supposed to be about an everyman(scum) rebuilding himself in another world, and growing from it. But I felt the author did Otakus dirty. The MC(original) is pure scum, like the worst charactertics of what an Otaku is, a bad stereotype.

Hence this story; a more believable otaku, but can still fall under the trope of the everyman. As well as having the meta knowledge of a self-insert. An average otaku rebuilding himself in another world. A True Isekai.

On an unrelated note for people doing Mushoku tensei fandoms. Mushoku Tensei literally means jobless reincarnation. I don't know why it's promoted like that by Crunchyroll, but it's repetitive. So when your categorizing this. You can pick Mushoku Tensei, or Jobless Reincarnation, don't do both. That's just dumb. <<less

Love is a complex emotion, one even the gods grew tired of. To bring order to it, Cupid created the red thread of fate, binding... more>> those meant to be together. Those connected would share perfect harmony, as if destiny itself had chosen them.
So why did a red thread appear between him and his own mother?
And why is she not the only one? <<less

A man who has endured a lifetime of pain, betrayal, and loss meets a cruel end on the same night he watches his parents die. Abandoned by fate, tormented by the past, and denied even the solace of death, his soul drifts into the void—where he encounters a goddess who claims to have watched over him all along.... more>>

Anger, hatred, and sorrow consume him as he confronts her, pouring out the suffering he was forced to endure—friends lost, family torn apart, love turned to poison, and a life never truly his own. But instead of denying his pain, the goddess offered the one thing he never expected: a new life.

Reincarnated into a new world, he is given the chance to start over. Yet, the scars of his past life have not faded. The betrayals, the loneliness, the crushing weight of despair—they still haunt him, shaping how he sees the world, how he trusts others, and how he searches for meaning in his new existence.

Will he find the happiness that was stolen from him? Or will the chains of his past drag him into another life of suffering, betrayal, and despair? In a world where fate is uncertain and cruelty is inevitable, he must decide—is happiness something he can truly grasp, or just another illusion waiting to be shattered?

"... Even if I'm devoured, even if my body is torn apart, even if my head is ripped off, and even if my heart stops… I'll come back from Death. Such is my fate."... more>>

Tristessa Irandell is a young woman with no memories of her past, who is summoned into another world without any explanation at all.

A world that goes by the name of Nekrom, where upon arrival, she is killed...

But Death was not the end for her.

The mysterious God of Chaos banished Tristessa from Death and granted her an unique Divine ability known as [Death and Resurrection], capable of bending the fabric of space and time in order to bring her back to life.

Now every Death, every inch of pain and suffering, every little bit of information... Tristessa carries along everything from every failed loop back to the past, to start again.

A never-ending spiral of fear and violence. Of Divine abilities and thaumaturgy. Of blood and horrors lurking in every corner.

A path that Tristessa will need to traverse if she wants to uncover the dark, evil truths behind her lost memories, and the tragedies that are bringing Nekrom to the brink of collapse, under the hands of the terrible Shadow Queen...

***
Points of interest:

* Dark High Fantasy. The story is going to be brutal, with gore, extreme violence, psychological horror and uncomfortable topics. Be aware about it.

* Soft-LitRPG and Soulsborne genre. No System. Statistics appear from "Chapter 76 - Divinity of the Dark Room" onward.

* Weak necromancer FMC with stats inheritance and skill evolution. Slow-burn progression. Acquiring skills and progressing comes with its share of suffering and pain. Nothing is free in Nekrom.

* Lots of worldbuilding and lore.

* Some romance here and there.

TL;DR: Re:Zero meets Stephen King and Clive Barker

Petrice, a cold and inhospitable wasteland which sits on the Westernmost peak of the Kingdom. A bulwark against which rages a seemingly never-ending horde of grotesque monsters, their tide only stemmed by the might of The Flamberges, Monster Hunters of the finest order. As the province steadily descends further and further into poverty, the old King passes, and his heir proposes a brilliant scheme: to gather the Kingdom's best and brightest young minds, and to disperse them out amongst the poorest of his realms, those in the most dire need.... more>>

One of these bright young minds is Niklas, the shamefully diminutive son of the proud knight, Baron Kaiser van der Leigh. Foremost student of stewardship and economics in his class, no sooner had his graduation ended than did his marriage begin. Now he is being shipped away to that very same cold and inhospitable land of Petrice, and he truly wonders if he can survive this strange and far-off land, its unfriendly people, its deadly beasts, and most dangerous of all: his new wife, the giantess Monster Countess Uldred. <<less

A world close to our modern time, where technology did not develop coherrently, lies horrors and reflections of the stars above. Things the ordinary was forbidden to learn or know, a war waged in secrecy and under the shadows.... more>>

Lea Darkwill, a cleric working under the Church of The Three Rings in a relatively peaceful town, had her life turned upside down due to an infamous secret organization. Leaving her the only survivor.

And so, she took the plunge into the mysteries of the world. For the misery and horrors she would receive, the dish of vengeance will be a good supper for those that wronged her. <<less

Benjamin Mathews started college the same way he ended high school. A dork that people loved to bully. One day, the bullies cracked his glasses and his pride. Ben is left broken in the aftermath, but one man helps him to his feet. It turned out that not everyone was out to get him. ... more>>

On the way home to fix his glasses, Ben finds an unconventional lens fixer. The elderly woman presents herself as no more than a charlatan, but Ben never knew that she'd change his life forever.

Day by day, the changes happen. Each one drives him closer to becoming the girl that he never knew he was supposed to be. But how can someone cope when she can't even find the person who changed her? What happened to Madame Crimwell, and what is happening to Ben's world? The world is not what it appears to be, and there is magic hiding within her heart. <<less

Utarou is a man of commitment, passion and drive. So when he died and was reincarnated into another world, he already knew exactly what he wanted.... more>>

A harem of Monster Girls.

When this divine being asked what skill he wanted, he asked for perfect immortality, so he would have the time (and ability to survive) every single type of monster girl that exists.

Unfortunately he quickly finds out that in the world of Nugenesis, despite being a world of swords and sorcery, there isn't a single monster girl.

This means that Utarou has only one solution, he must create every single monster girl himself through the power of evolution!

Prepare for a slow burn tale of how an immortal man creates a society of monster girls for the singular purpose of making a Monster Girl Harem.

Quentin Ridgewood's best friend moonlights as a space pirate in the VRMMO Caeran Galaxy - and makes real world bank doing it. When Quentin's invited onto the crew, alongside a signing bonus of a top of the line VR pod, he jumps at the chance. ... more>>

But things immediately take a turn: despite never using VR before, Quentin already has a character, Tricia, and he hasn't been logged in as her since... before he was born. Her sense of touch is missing, her user interface is glitched, she's spawned in a cryopod station lightyears away from any normal tutorial, her texts with her friends show up in their quest log instead of their chat history, and she keeps knowing things about Caeran that she doesn't remember being told.

Tricia had a life here once, before reincarnating as Quentin, and her attempt to get her body in Caeran back in working order without sacrificing her body on Earth... has transformative consequences, alongside the divine ire of the dragons Caeran has instead of stars.

There is a reason, after all, that vampires fear the sun.

Ren Arakawa lived an invisible life.... more>>

Lonely, unattractive, and forgotten by almost everyone around him, his only escape was an otome fantasy game called Eternal Stars.

But after dying in an accident, Ren awakens inside the game itself—

As Seraphina Valemortis.

The beautiful silver-haired villainess destined to die in every route.

In the original story, Seraphina was hated by nobles, feared by students, and eventually destroyed by her own obsession with the Crown Prince.

But this Seraphina is different.

Determined to survive, Ren decides to change fate itself through magic, swordsmanship, and sheer determination.

However, strange mysteries soon appear:

the heroine seems to know more than she should,
demons are not truly evil,
the world itself is slowly approaching destruction,
and a hidden power known as the “Goddess Vessel” was never mentioned in the game at all.

As friendships grow, enemies change, and love slowly blooms, Seraphina must uncover the truth behind the broken world before the Void King awakens and destroys everything.

But first…

She must survive the Imperial Academy. <<less

Diantara Surgabumi was a gentle boy born in a remote village in the mountains, but that all changed when he was kidnapped by a little girl with godlike powers. Thrusting him into the world of Learalza where he was hunted down and almost killed by an entire village, as Otherworlders like him are hated for the wounds they left on history...... more>>

Now caught amidst the conflict of two religions, Dian must find a way to survive while keeping his independence. Some claim they're on his side, others guilt him with the idea that his death will serve the greater good of the people. Something that became a bigger dilemma after the Raven Priestess gave him hope in his darkest moment.

As Dian lost all sense of familiarity while being given the ability to manipulate the very fabrics of reality itself as an Alterealist, could he maneuver this harsh world without indulging in his formidable power and repeat the mistakes of his predecessors? Maybe he should rule the world and eradicate everything that challenges him instead? Or would he be able to carve out his new home in Learalza? Build his own family in place of the one he lost?

Whatever path Dian chooses, reality itself will bend the knee.

The silence isn’t peace. It’s what’s left when memory stops speaking.... more>>

They do not bury the dead here.
They walk beside them. Work them. Praise them.
Grief is scheduled. Ritual is repetition. And those who feel too deeply are folded into function—until even that ache is gone.

Conrad handles the bodies with care. His voice used to matter. His letters shimmered.
Now the words come slower. The air is too still.
He begins to notice what others have learned to forget:
how reverence becomes routine, how dignity drains through protocol,
how beauty, when real, becomes dangerous.

He never breaks the rules.
But something breaks through him.

He was only meant to carry the dead.
He didn’t know they would start carrying him.
