"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...

"Survival of the fittest is easier said than done...why couldn't I have been reborn a bit bigger, huh?"

If waking up in a new world wasn't bad enough, an idealistic teen starts her new life as a newborn dragon not by being embraced by a loving family, but having to escape two hungry kobolds wanting some grilled lizard for breakfast. Now, status screens obscure her vision in a hostile forest filled with vicious magical monsters, as two concerning Titles welcome her to her new life.

Equipped with fragmented memories from her past life and the game-like mechanics of her new reality, the young dragon must face trials and tribulation, undeterred by the reaper's scythe inches from her neck. Despite her challenges, she is determined to find civilization. For nothing will stop her from fulfilling her one true desire: to become an Idol.

Mason the survivalist was always preparing for the end of the world. He just didn’t expect a god-like AI to transform it into a damn video game.

Now he has to pick a ‘class’, survive a ‘tutorial’ (filled with monstrous creatures trying to murder him), and somehow find his brother Blake before the idiot gets himself killed.

OK. Blake’s no idiot. He’s a charming, incredibly lucky, ambitious world-beater. But he was destined for corporate boardrooms, not monster filled forests, and Mason knows he needs to reach him before it’s too late.

But as he claws his way through this new, dangerous world, gaining superhuman abilities and meeting a beautiful woman who desperately needs his help, he begins to realize: it might just be the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

Wu Jian comes from a small clan eking out a living in the countryside. Despite being the clan heir, he is bullied for being cowardly and weak. In a world where the strength of a person's cultivation determines their lot in life, weakness is not allowed, and those who possess it are often stamped out.

But Wu Jian doesn't want to remain weak. He doesn't want to be a coward. He wants to be strong. Witness the rise of one young man who, with the help of his childhood friend, will face adversity, forge new bonds of love and friendship, and gain the strength needed to protect his loved ones and find meaning in his life.

The primary ability of a transmigrator is the ability to reincarnate. Each life, each world brings a plethora of new abilities and possibilities which can be assimilated and taken into the next world. A clever transmigrator can build up their abilities in just a few lives, eventually reaching a point where they can masquerade as gods in weaker worlds, become archmages in stronger worlds, and become legends in their own right.... more>>

When Isabelle and her friends are dumped into the world of transmigrators, at first it seems like a blessing. Their new status grants them the ability to visit the myriad worlds of the multiverse, grow stronger, and live practically forever, as long as they don’t make a mistake and permanently die. Every world has its own unique aspects, different magic systems to learn and use, and a myriad of interesting things to explore and discover. Each lifetime is unique, and no two worlds are the same.

However, between each life Isabelle and her friends must return to the Market. The place between lives, where transmigrators used to trade Items and Abilities and grow their power. Now, it is ruined. A desiccated shell of the most powerful civilization to exist in the multiverse, with its inhabitants slaughtered by unknown forces. If Isabelle and her friends wish to avoid the same fate, they must grow fast enough to avoid permanent death.

Note: this chapter is only posted on Royalroad, Scribblehub, and Patreon. If it is anywhere else, it has been posted there without my permission.

What to expect: This is a somewhat slower-paced serial-transmigration story, centered around the adventures of the main character and her friends through various worlds in the multiverse. I want each world to feel like a complete story, so expect the story to take a little longer in each world than some other stories in the serial transmigration genre.

Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

He awoke, surrounded by an overwhelming green that enveloped his body, with no memories as to how he got there or where he was. The boy twisted and writhed his body with spasms as he tried to escape but none came to his aid.

Regardless of his situation he never once cursed his fate or lamented his luck, there were too many things he gained alongside what he lost, caring parents, a large bank account and enough books to give any librarian a headache; that was until those gains too were lost to the wind.

Or rather, he was lost to them.

Watch as our hero explores what it's like to be alive... after death.

Author note:

Hello all! I am writing this mostly out of a feeling that almost every single Naruto fanfiction out there (save a few) are completely opposite to my preferences, whether it's in the writing quality, plot progression or something else that just gets messed up in the process; I don't like it. One day I was reading a particularly bad one and thought: "I could totally do this." and so I did!

This will be a "realistic" transmigration! I want this to be as realistic as possible so bear with me for the first few chapters as I set up the plot, it took a lot of planning for it to reach this stage and I guarantee you that it will be a satisfying read.

English is my first language and I am confident in both my writing ability and plot. If you guys have any gripes with what I have written, please let me know!

The Universe is the perfect dish, cooked and prepared by an Almighty hand, and Lei will slowly learn the greater truth that is the Dao of Cooking.... more>>

It's hard to adapt to a new world, especially to an ancient one. So when Lei found himself in a Xianxia world, he thought the best thing to do was to go against all these strange things with the only thing he knew -- Cooking. Though, he had to admit, the hovering screen before his eyes that told him to 'Feed People' certainly helped in that decision.

Come along, and watch as Lei starts with a makeshift stall, then dives into a sect full of cultivators, and conquers the heart of these cold-blooded people who can command the winds and the skies with his tasty, a touch too strange for this world, dishes.

What to expect:
- Gourmet chef cooking seasoned wings, heart-warming soups, grilling spiritual beasts.
- A sort of different system that has complex skills.
- This is not a slice-of-life story.
- Our MC will cultivate, although a touch more different than others.
- The LitRPG elements will be light. There won't be any stats. <<less

Imagine a shonen sports story. But, it’s not about baseball or soccer. No, this one is about playing a MOBA video game!... more>>

And no, it’s neither League of Legends nor DotA. A BRAND NEW ORIGINAL MOBA, the one MOBA to rule them all - Classmancers!

The game has become so big, that even schools recognize it as a sport. They even allow students to participate in Classmancers clubs and compete against other schools! Who will be the one going to nationals!?

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

For Yuel, a team sport is like a chessboard that comes to life. There’s no greater fun than deconstructing every opponent and predicting twenty of their moves in advance.

And, Classmancers is the ideal stage for such psychological warfare, for it’s a sport in which game theory reigns supreme. At least, usually, it does.

There are also goofs like Lars, who got -200 IQ, yet boast godlike mechanical skill that triumphs against all odds. He’s like your typical OPMC which a cheat, except the cheat does nothing for his intellect.

Yuel and Lars are like water and fire. In other words, 100% compatible! That’s why they form an unlikely duo and set out to dominate Classmancers’ competitive scene!

However, to challenge their OPness, the two will run into rivals who are just as OP! Some of them will turn their teammates immune to Yuel’s psychological attacks, while others will redirect Lars’s almighty strength against himself.

In this harsh environment, the two will keep struggling, struggling, and struggling some more, following their promise to reach the pro scene.

Volume 1: Prologue to Adventure is now out on Amazon in Ebook and Audiobook!

Amazon Summary:

An intelligent young man embarks on an epic journey through a virtual world in the first volume of this near-future fantasy/adventure series.

Declan has never cared much for VRMMO games. No matter how many times his best friend, Matt, has urged him to get into the latest craze and escape the monotony of their broken-down reality, he always finds something about the build or the engine that drives him crazy. But when an AI hacks into his Somatic Implant and invites him into a secret virtual world, he can’t resist the chance to explore.

The lush, post-apocalyptic landscape of Gaia is unlike any simulation Declan has ever encountered, and it’s only the gateway to the even grander and more realistic world known as Indiri. Soon, Declan and Matt are going on wild quests as their avatars—Dustin the Magic Myconid and Noam the Tiefling Bard—navigating a world of travelers and fighters to make their way to Indiri’s high-fantasy lands.

But Declan’s journey isn’t always smooth. And as he encounters digital gods, dangerous guilds, and powerful forces attempting to use him as a pawn, he must learn to forge his own path . . . or risk becoming an NPC in his own life.

Prologue to Adventure is an explosive start to an intricately plotted fantasy series filled with heart-pounding adventure and enchanting characters

Harems have become too powerful. Heroes fall prey to temptation and poor relationship development, and no woman is truly safe from a life of emptily yearning for one man. When the Goddess of Reincarnation is taken out of the picture, her sister Vice-Goddess summons a new champion, a man who she hopes will resist the blight of haremhood, emaciate the men of Gaia from their self-deprecating stupor, and overall just be a decent guy for once in this world.... more>>

Watch as he walks into a female companion in the middle of changing, then promptly turns around, apologizes, and leaves without being magicked in the ass because it's not really that big of a deal.

There's only one bed? No problem.
Need some personal space? Gotchya.
Developing mutual feelings? Let's talk it out.

In this tale, the true fantasy is the fulfilling friendships and mutually-assured relationships along the way.

***

This story is primarily slice-of-life, but there will still be sword-and-magic action. I can't say much about how the balance between the two is or will be, but I will always strive towards the path that will grow friendships and strengthen the Platonic Agenda.

Finally, I hereby declare this story completely SFW.

Updates:
Expect one chapter per day, although frequency may vary to once a week depending on my schedule and mood.

Notes:
This story contains R-18 themes and includes clichés typical of fantasy novels: demons, beastmen, foxgirls, etc. The MC undergoes subtle character development, there is village building, and the mystery surrounding the MC's powers. The first ten chapters lack depth and richness, or simply put, are underdeveloped and will receive a full revision in the near future. Feel free to drop this and leave. I have no plans on monetizing this book whatsoever; I just write for fun. <<less

Erick is just a normal dude who is definitely, positively, probably not transgender (no matter how envious he is of other trans girls). Or at least he that’s what he thinks, until his best friend shows him a trans femme forum.

Maybe she could even deal with all this gender stuff, if it wasn’t for the fact that she’s also started having weird hallucinations of a far off world. Is she losing her mind? The warrior girl who starts to share her thoughts and perceptions doesn’t seem to think so. In fact, it seems she knows a lot more about their strange connection than she lets on.

A story of friendship, plurality, magic, romance, and the power of self love.

A retelling of the excanon series through the eyes of a young trans main character, Rhiannon. Rather than at first directly changing canon events I have chosen to instead have characters react to them more realistically, causing some actions that happened in canon to have greater consequences and by this ripple effect gradually altering the story. Because excanon was a war story sanitised for children, it IS going to get dark at times. Sometimes for a few chapters at a time. But I am writing that dark on purpose because excanon didn't do any of it emotional justice, and I am writing a stronger found family & friend circle for my main character, because we can survive all kinds of darkness if we stand together.
Remember: Being trans is not a tragedy. Being disabled is not a tragedy. Being queer is not a tragedy. And even though in the real world we don't get to be heroes, our lives are worth living and we deserve to be able to live them safely and free of abuse. This is not a story for everyone. This is a story for us.
__________________________________
My intent when I started out was to breathe new life into something I've loved for many years, and then as I carried on I realised just how *badly* it's written, how weak the plotting and characters are and how little emotional response there is to what is frankly some pretty horrifying content, so I took it upon myself to write stronger emotional responses and consequences for what excanon content I kept. Remember - this is derivative fiction. Even when it looks identical on the surface, I may well have something quietly plotting away in the background - and if you come into this expecting it to BE like excanon because in places it LOOKS like excanon, I will not be responsible for when your expectations aren't met.
So I made this my own. Initially it stays fairly close to the plotline but diverges after the first few chapters. I shaped Harry from my own experiences and the way I had always related to the character, and gave character to what had previously been nothing but cardboard cutouts. Essentially this is me trying to bring back the magic of the world, the way it should have been. I know this will not appeal to everyone, but I hope queer people like myself, and Jewish folks and people of colour hurt by the racism and antisemitism of the original author, will find some joy in it but most of all disabled people - this one's for us. She said the wizarding world would 'cure' disabilities, and eugenics is not a future I ever want for us. Our lives are worth living and our heroes are worth writing.
I don't like what the original author stands for, I don't like that she took what could have been beautiful and injected so much racism and other bigotry into stories for children. I don't like that she uses her platform to promote people who want me dead. And I am tired of having to tell people all of this and why when you should know it already - so I put my energy into something creative that challenges her canon events instead.
As yet, I have not written in romance, but there are romantic and queerplatonic relationships planned for future content.
A note that many characters have had their names changed because of original content racism. <<less

A young lad with an odd condition that makes him look bored all the time gets reincarnated in a fantasy world after getting shot in the head by some mobsters (in his words "a bit of bad luck"). ... more>>

A being going by "God - DYN2" grants him a unique magic ability ("teleportation, kind of"), as a boon, because it seemed like a good idea at the time, and it's "standard in this sort of thing."

With his newfound powers and opportunities, he'll mostly just do what other people tell him to do. Because, I mean, coming up with stuff to do is hard, y'know?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I kind of made this sound like a parody, given the title and description, but that's not really what it is. Essentially, I've been on a fantasy kick lately, and I have some ideas for mildly comical characters with fun-ish gimmicks, so I decided to write a fantasy story. Additionally, I figure that Isekai is good for a starting wannabe writer such as myself, because it's a decent and easy plot hook, and, frankly, I don't anyone expects that much from stories like this, so it's okay when I suck.
Honestly, a lot of this is me looking at Isekai stuff and thinking "wouldn't it be cool if this happened instead?", so expect a lot of standard tropes and clichés.

In summary, expect an incredibly generic fantasy world (almost comedically so), being explored by some mildly entertaining goof characters. Also expect that you quickly realize that the whole bored-eyes thing will come up basically never because the story doesn't have a visual component and I can't think of any interesting ways to implement it into the story in ways that don't feel like I'm just trying to justify the gimmick.

If you ever feel like a chapter isn't particularly entertaining, interesting, doesn't even advance the 'plot', and mainly just exists so that I could say that I put something out that day, you're probably right. That's a problem with writing by forcing myself to write every day, sometimes ya just suck but still need to get something down. It happens. Please bear with me, or just skip those chapters. I probably would, assuming I read this story in the first place.

You'll also come to realize this story probably would have been funnier in third person, because then you could actually see how people react to his condition. Ah well. (Y'know, I've been thinking about this more and more recently. You can only really do misconception based comedy if you have multiple perspectives, right? That means I ROYALLY screwed up by writing this story in first person. I either have to seamlessly jump between multiple POVs, which is hard, far, far too tricky for someone of my skill, or I just have to live with my mistakes and forget about, like, the whole premise of the story.)

Also, minor content warning, there's a bit of blood in some of the actiony parts. It's not super graphic, and I don't go into great detail, so it's not gore-y at all, but it is there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(don't expect updates to be too consistent or constant by any means. I try to get a chapter out at least every 2-3 days, but, again, don't expect consistency.) <<less

Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core.

In this new world Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged by their experiences in Worthy Dungeon.

The story features both occasional gore, and consensual funtimes of all flavors, so adult supervision is recommended. Product may contain slime girls.

This story will contain standalone explicit chapters and sexual humor & references throughout. This is a side-side-project for me, so I cannot commit to a concrete release schedule at this time, but a backlog of chapters has been prepared, and I am aiming for at least two chapters a week. The story has also been posted on RR. The story's introductory arc runs up to Chapter 26, I'd recommend trying it out up to that point if you find it interesting. I hope you enjoy!

When Zalan falls asleep to escape the pain of his relationship with his mother, he awakens in a vivid fantasy world teeming with Elementals, deadly monsters, and world-spanning adventure. He can even work to wield the power of lightning, itself. Confused about how he arrived in this strange new land, Zalan reluctantly joins forces with a guide, Rep, who promises to help him find an Artifact to return home: The Homeseeker.... more>>

Some want to participate in glorious combat, others want to use their Elemental Abilities to their fullest extent. Zalan really just wants to go home.

Along the way, Zalan begins to question if this adventure is just an elaborate dream... or if it's his new reality. As Zalan begins to embrace this new world of wonder, he's given the opportunity to take on a role as an adventuring hero, but doing so will mean letting go of his home forever—assuming he's not consumed by the dark secrets he's tried to bury, first.
