******************************

Author's Word:

This story is not a comedy. Now, don't get me wrong, my dear reader; it is funny. Hell, it has even been called downright hilarious by a couple of readers that may or may not have been my mother. But in essence, it is not purely comedy, in the same way that it is not purely tragedy. The Crab Fighter is just an intense story. Sometimes you will laugh like a ticklish hyena and sometimes you will cry as if you're reading this on onion paper. Your blood will boil, you will feel sympathy, pity, and passion, and that's all part of the deal. If you're into that, read ahead.

Now, I know what you're thinking. These are rather bold claims. Can I truly support them?

Oh, my dear reader. I most certainly can. Welcome aboard.

Synopsis:

A man wakes up in an unknown, fantastical world with blue screens, levels, classes, and absolutely no idea of who he is. Did I mention giant crabs? Worst of all, a series of unfortunate circumstances lead to him adopting an... uncomfortable... name.

In his struggle to survive, he will fight his way through crab dens, forests, towns, and sewers. He will befriend barbaric orcs and smug outcasts, sneakily sneak into the enemy's heart of operations, fight against monsters and stand for what is right. Besides, if he just so happens to amusingly and quite epically turn the world on its head while doing so... Eh, it happens.

But all that is only provided he survives his first day in the world of Peras. Will he live and thrive, enjoying an epic lifetime of razor-sharp adventure and manly brotherhood? Or will he be turned into crab food on the very first day of his existence?

And what's a modern-day sailor doing there?!

Join our unfortunately named friend and find out... Adventure's waiting!

~Reject humanity, return to crab~

Meta-sypnosis:

A high-fantasy LitRPG adventure, focusing a bit more on the 'Lit' and less on the 'RPG' for later chapters. We mainly follow the MC's adventures, but significant emphasis is also given to a small, sometimes rotating cast of other characters. While the story's main genre is definitely an adventure, the theme is dynamic, with different chapters ranging from epic, to wholesome, to hilarious, to dark and action-packed.

Updates are weekly, 06:00 GMT every Sunday. This story is also posted on RoyalRoad.

The Saga of Vincent Dawn is the story of a troubled individual who kills himself and is reborn as a god with the ability to manifest their fantasies into reality.

Psycho Bullet Festival 2222 is an intentionally absurd story created for the expressed purpose of making sense of The Saga of Dawn and Dusk series by tying up loose ends, fixing continuity issues, and fulfilling long-standing promises. That, and bringing together a number of characters and concepts for a convoluted crossover epic 9 years in the making. ... more>>

200 years after Psycho Bullet Festival: The Odyssey of Abigale Quinlan, the world has matured into a utopian state, where the needs of every human are met and the concept of limited resources is a thing of the past. But that all changed after the fourth suicide of Verde Dusk, God of the VDVerse. With her demise, chaos runs rampant across the VDVerse and a long forgotten prisoner has been freed. Using their newfound power, this prisoner casts this peaceful world into a transdimensional war for the fate of the VDVerse.

This novel is part of The Saga of Dawn and Dusk series created by Natalie Neumann. It is a direct sequel to The Malice of Abigale Quinlan, Psycho Bullet Festival: The Odyssey of Abigale Quinlan, The Saga of Vincent Dawn. Efforts have been made to summarize and describe all relevant events within the text of Psycho Bullet Festival 2222, so there is no prerequisite reading necessary to understand all characters and events in this novel.

Just a quick note: this story was written *before* season 1 of Hazbin Hotel was released. All parts featuring characters from the show are therefore based on the pilot, which is why "my" Lucifer is different from how he turned out to be in the show :)... more>>

Christmas depression is a frequent occurrence, and many people suffer from it. The protagonist of this story does too, but they choose a different and somewhat unconventional way to handle the season. When Duke Agarus, a member of the Ars Goetia and demon royalty in Hell, finds himself overwhelmed with the increasing traffic between Hell and Earth, he needs assistance. The only option is an Earth-born who carries the seed of Hell in them, and among the one thousand possible options, only one fulfills the requirements set by Agarus himself, King Bael, Lucifer, and St Peter. And amidst an episode of snowy depression, who could decline such an offer? This is not the conclusive story of the newest member of the Ars Goetia but rather a glimpse into their life between Hell and Earth.

Please keep in mind that this is more of a collection of interconnected short stories, not a traditional novel. The stories are all set in the shared universe of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, but some of the demonic lore is different to fit the plot.

Emma (née Marcus) Farrier is a fairly normal grad student, until she is struck by lightning and wakes up in the alternate world of Selene. Selene is a land of steam engines and carriages, of lords and beggars, of gear-wheels and rifle-smoke... as well as a land inhabited entirely by women.

Worse still, she is on a collision course with powerful forces who seek to rule this planet, as well as... more>> coming to face the reason why she is on Selene in the first place...
