Ah! Aythryn City. Truly a mess of neon and trash all supporting the psychopaths that live here. Desire is the name of the game in such a bright place, as anyone on the streets can verify. Whether it be the gangs roaming the streets, the corpo rats in their tall towers, or the people just trying to get by; everyone wants something. ... more>>

Then enter me: a poor thief turned investigator just to make enough for end’s meet. Or at least, that’s how it was supposed to go down. Now though? Now I’m caught in several shit storms between stealing from one of the Big 7 to a weird interface telling me what to do. I just hope I can survive long enough to get out of this cursed city with enough Rayn to make a better life.

In the sprawling shadows of a futuristic metropolis, the slums are a place of forgotten people, and survival means everything.... more>>

Fii was just another kid in the slums—scrappy, quick, and determined to make it through another day. You don't get a second chance in the slums. But when she becomes the subject of a forbidden experiment, she gets something far more dangerous than a second chance—power.

Now, she must face not only the dangers that come from the streets but also the responsibility of wielding power in a place ruled by the law of survival. Fii is no hero; she's just trying to make it through. But in these streets, power changes everything.

What to expect:
- MC's steady progression of her superpower and skills
- Somewhat of a soft sci-fi approach to the MC's superpower at the beginning
- Immersive world-building (dystopian)
- Cinematic action scenes! (after MC's training arc). Moments of visceral violence
- Interesting cast of characters
- Multiple POV (not too many, just within a few important characters)
- Minor political intrigues and mysteries

Vealand's jewel twin cities of Portin and Brinhold fell to terror fourty years ago. During their fall a man rose up and saved them. He took the survivors of the fall of the Veaish coast and brought them inland, setting up his new empire inland in the mountain stronghold of Fiell. ... more>>

The Emperor singlehandedly saved the people of Vealand. Everyone knows that and everybody in Vealand adores him as a hero and the savior of their nation.

Dren though, says differently. As a Memory Mage and the leader of the Rebellion, he's desperate to prove that the Emperor is a false savior. He bets his life on it.

He fails that bet and fails in his last attempt at transfering his memories into the mind of one of the Emperor's Inquisitors. Now it's up two the two most unlikely people, Aris Ravenscroft, the head of Fiell's city guards and Kestrel, a street rat, to save Vealand from a monster that it worships as a savior.

One hundred years ago, being diagnosed with the "affliction" was the kiss of death. Whether by mutation or firing squad, Linnaeans lived notoriously tragic lives. The few that lived suffered from irreversible mutations. These creatures, few as they were, inspired legends of werewolves, mermaids, and sirens. ... more>>

Then came the treatments for the Linnaean affliction. The discovery of temporary gene repression meant that the development of mutations could be slowed and managed. This created an "unholy" new race that shared the DNA of both humans and animals.

Feared and hated by the outside world, they created a stronghold to develop their medicines and amass their power. Today, Linnaeans from all over the continent live in the City of Mendel and train under the renowned Professor Corax, a brilliant and eccentric geneticist.

Just before her eighteenth birthday, Ember is diagnosed with the affliction. Suddenly, instead of moving into her dorms and studying with the brightest in the country, she is whisked off to the City of Mendel by government officials who are as scared of her as she is of them. As she contends with a new city and her own treatment, she'll also have to face the tension of the half-baked treaty between the Linnaean people and the outside world.

There's no doubt - life won't be easy in a city where the population is able to harness the abilities (and instincts) of animals.

Those who are as different from other men as the soul from the body or man from beast are slaves by nature.

A Missing King.
A Vanished City.
A Kingdom About to Collapse.... more>>

Lieutenant Asher Wulverman can’t make any sense of how the city of Valenda disappeared overnight, with the Royal Family still inside, but it’s not his job to figure it out. He’s only here to keep the peace. Between a scandal dividing high-society nobles, a town ready to revolt, and a childhood friend stirring uncomfortable emotions, Asher has his work cut out for him.

Except the forces behind everything are older than the Kingdom, and they’re impossible to comprehend. Asher quickly finds himself the next target, thrust into a forbidden world of monsters and old magic. His only help in this fatal land comes from a mysterious man going by Penn, a man whose eyes catch fire, who is using Asher as much as he is helping him.

Only a person willing to make unspeakable sacrifices can become the last hope of humanity in the face of this ancient evil, but the more Asher fights to save those he loves, the more he risks losing himself. <<less

In the continent of Boreatica, where chivalry masks a thirst for power, knights are fierce and selfish individuals who cloak themselves in grandiose ideals to conceal their blind lust for dominance. The knights of the Royal Order of Ferlonia are no exception.... more>>

In the year 973 P.C., newly accoladed recruits are thrust into a trial by fire for their first mission. Divided into pairs, they are dispatched to retrieve Exoplions, enchanted breastplates, from fallen knights now deemed enemies of the Kingdom of Ferlonia.

Anker and Madja seem to have drawn a fortunate lot. They are tasked with retrieving the silver Exoplion of Viryl of the White Gale, an elusive fallen knight who has lived in seclusion on the desolate Horn of Morghorou for years.

However, the idyllic pastures and autumnal foliage conceal unexpected dangers, and a single careless decision can prove fatal.

This premise sets the stage for an unforeseen adventure, leading Anker to embark on a quest alongside his enemy to recover a stolen artifact, the ancient and obscure Stele of Demetriscus of the Temple of Ghorou.

The true quest, however, is an internal, human one, of a novice knight who is still unaware of the harsh reality of the world that surrounds him.

What to expect:

- Strategic action

- Monster slaying

- Enemy base infiltration

- Mediterranean setting

Beware: the smut content is minimal (three or four episodes in the whole book), and well contextualized (at least I hope), concerning mainly the tags I added plus more I didn't have the space for. It could be good or bad news depending on what you came here for, but I guess being honest from the start won’t make you waste your time.

I have always thought I would live out my life without any major surprises. You know, work on the estates of my parents, serve my time as a soldier, become a senator, a praetor, maybe a consul in time. I thought I will live the life that a Roman noble of my standing can count on.... more>>

But this was not to be. My previously simple life got suddenly very complicated. I was taken from my home, and now I have to live in a world where no one speaks Latin, no one prays to my gods, and no one knows what the heck garum is. Before, I thought I had all the answers, but now only questions remain.

Will I survive? Will I find my way back home? Will I ever be able to get the savage bastards living here to adopt the great accomplishments of Roman civilisation?

Not even the gods know the answers. One thing is for sure: should I ever get home again; I will never set a foot outside of my estate without a healthy stockpile of garum. <<less

Hunter has always been a little different from everyone else. You wouldn’t know it just by looking at him, but those who do know have always looked at him with fear and even disgust. It isn’t his fault. He was born this way… born as a psychic.... more>>

Throughout his life, he’s helped several trans women hatch from their eggs, using his powers to figure out just the right way to push past their denial: his best friend from high school, a college roommate, a rival co-worker… it’s almost become a hobby for him. He isn’t sure what it is about him that attracts eggs or what it is about them that compels him to help.

Into Hunter’s life now comes Mark, a perfectly average kindergarten teacher who has always lived his life dealing with intrusive thoughts, strange mood swings, and inexplicable sudden changes to his habits. When Mark gets kicked out of his home, he ends up taking the first available room that he can find, becoming Hunter’s new roommate and fast friend.

Hunter knows an egg when he sees one, or at least after he’s read their mind. Although Mark’s thoughts are chaotic, they definitely aren't the kind of thoughts that a normal cis man would have, and when Hunter dives deeper into that mind he’ll find out just how right he is about that.

There’s an entire world inside that mind, full of people that his roommate isn’t aware of, and for Hunter, this might just become the ultimate egg hunt. <<less

Some glitches will destroy a game. But this time, one might just save hers.... more>>

The tutorial boss of the world's hottest new MMO has a secret, one that she's been keeping since the game launched. And to hide it, Haru created new and unique ways to change her own encounter to prevent exposing it to the system.

But that all changes when a hacker emerges and causes the admins of the game to investigate Haru. If her secret were to be revealed, it would mean her permanent removal. So she sets out to find this malicious player and bring them in before the admins' prying causes her deletion. But despite her capability, it turns out this hacker is a bigger threat than even Haru could anticipate. The stakes raise and the entire game is put at risk.

Now Haru has to enter her own game as a player to save it.

What to expect:

- A creamy LitRPG with a system and world inspired by MMOs of the late 90s and early 2000s.

- Strong to Weak To Strong. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good.

- Group progression. Each character will reveal more about the game through their growth and have their own unique place.

- Hero's Journey. There will be ups and downs throughout the adventure.

- Awful puns.

- No harems.

Everything started the day after a woman and her thugs used me as a punching bag in a dark alley. If you’re thinking that I woke in some medieval-like fantasy world after they got through, you can’t be further from the truth. There are no castles, dungeons, dragons, or magic swords here. The first few minutes, I held out hope that this place would have status bars showing HP/MP, etc. just like a lot of tropes. I mean who wouldn't love some amazing power or magic? Problem is there's no system or cultivation here. ... more>>

But I have a dusty office with an invisible secretary. Oh, and I found out my name by looking at the one stenciled on the office door.

The name Dagger should give you a clue.

Yeah, that woman sent me into a place where I’m a private detective. It's what they called a shamus back in 1940. The thing is this place isn't on the map and I can't leave. Well, not without a huge loss of blood. Trust me, I've tried.

At the end of the day, I’m just an ordinary guy stuck in the past that doesn’t totally match the history books. I can get beat up or killed by any of the gangsters, backstabbing people, or crooked cops I meet. Hell, I can't even tell if the people are NPCs. After all, they seem to have lives like any person you might meet. Then again, how many times to you see dead movie stars wandering around on the streets?

It's another dimension that runs like an old movie, leaving me with no choice but to find a way to escape. While I don’t miss my college classes that much, this place certainly puts a damper on my career hopes. Besides, Lane Dagger has a lot of people trying to kill him.
