{Not a Harem story}... more>>

Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world that has officially labeled him an Ogre in what he believes to be a cruel joke. Before he can get his bearings, Tim is enslaved and put to work killing other monsters for his new masters. Kindhearted and used to being pushed around, Tim must find his spine and turn the tables on a world that would see him dead or in chains.

Intended as a slow burn progression and character progression story, there will be no harems amongst the primary cast of characters. More Gamelit than Litrpg, the text boxes are more frequent in the beginning but taper off as the protagonist paraphrases more mundane information in the same way a normal human being would.

Minor rewrites are coming soon, intended to raise the quality of the first nineteen chapters and split them to a more manageable 7500-ish wordcount each. They will be marked with {Rewrite} once they go live. ETA for the rollout is by the end of August 2022

Released 1/week over the Australian weekend.

I primarily upload on Royal Road, so the release to Scribblehub is sometimes a day or two later due to derp brain.

In a land ruled by vile monsters, where death is common and life is cruel, one outcast endeavors to have it all. While there are many misconceptions related to goblins, such as their horrid looks or lack of intelligence, their small stature isn't one. But, that doesn't stop Stryg from aspiring to his belief of greatness: power, prestige, and food with salt.
When fate drags Stryg from his forest home and into the ruthless city of Hollow Shade he must learn that some monsters live everywhere.... more>>

A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness with no memory, climbing out of an egg. She has human knowledge that doesn’t seem to match her body. Now she needs to not only survive, but figure out the blue boxes, her biology, and how to build up and protect her hive, while balancing her Hive Queen instincts with the human parts of her mind. Her instincts want her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and destroy everything that might possibly one day be a threat. She’d rather not become an apocalypse. But she does need to secure resources and territory for her hive, and maybe a bit of conquest wouldn’t be so bad.
... more>> 40px;"> A fantasy adventure with litRPG elements and kingdom building, telling the story of a Hive Queen and her family.

Kanae Toyomi is an effeminate 18 year old guy fresh out of high school, who uses his soft features and crossdresses to make extra money on the side. One night, through a series of accidents, he is mistakenly sent into a fantasy world with RPG elements.... more>>

He is sent there as a succubus, and the only way to level up might have piqued his curiosity.

My name is Tim, or it was until I died. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God.... more>>

I didn’t die heroically while saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away...

That should have been the end of the road for me, but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimensional travelers and was reincarnated.

Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited about the opportunity, if not for my new siblings, who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or for my mother, who seemed to have a thing for throwing me off cliffs. And let’s not forget my murderous father, who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage.

Oh, did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?

The swarm.
A unitary force of countless entities.
Nightmarish creatures from the darkest depths.
All working towards a greater purpose.
Simply fulfilling their role in a complex system.
Abducted from the world I know I am now forced to become a part of this.
Forced to help these horrors to increase their power.
However, they are not mindless killers.
There might be a way for me.
I could influence them from the inside.
To prevent that anyone has to die.
To protect the ones I love.
Maybe I can adjust.... more>>

Lia was walking between classes when the targeting on a wizard's lightning bolt went awry and the bolt struck Lia, killing her on the spot. And that would have been the end of it, had her best friend not managed to somehow preserve her soul and bring her back...as an entirely new species of monster called a Swarm Queen. And, apparently, she was going to be trying to take over the world, make everyone into part of her swarm. Eventually. When she got stronger.
Well...she already died once, so what harm is there in giving things a second go, right?... more>>

(Main character receives no gender bender. The genre tag remains there because gender bending does feature in the story, but there is no "minor" tag to properly illustrate that)

Series has a strict update schedule of "when it comes out, it comes out". That can mean two chapters in one day, or over a month between chapters. Both have happened in the past. This is something I write on the side while "turning my brain off", so just keep in mind that releases will be inconsistent.

If you want to be notified when this does update, check out my discord, I post notifications there: https://discord.gg/5TuC5ju

READ THE FOREWORD: I cannot stress this enough, this series is different from my usual fare and there come some caveats with it. In the foreword I address a lot of comments and questions I foresee people having. A lot of tags are also speculative, so there is also a brief explanation of them there as well. If you find yourself having questions about a tag, the foreword is the place to look/ask questions.

There are many possible fates that can await those whisked away from our world to another.... more>>

Some became heroes or villains, given the right power to forge their own destinies as they wished.

Others, the powerless, became victims, doomed to perish, at the mercy of the cruel world filled with mystical powers they are unprepared for.

A lone man that woke up alone under the alien sky was neither of those.

He didn't get to choose what he was going to become - a disaster, an unwilling source of intelligent, yet violent monsters, rapidly rising in numbers. Stranded in a foreign land, without even knowing the language, forever locked in the unending cycle of violence he neither wished for nor can escape from. His creations may be the only company he would ever find.

The man wasn’t powerless. But was he really that much better off?

It just took one wrong power. <<less

Binding herself to a monster was the only option Lyra had to save the woman she’d started to love. Worse, as part of the bargain it was ensured that Lyra’s magic, her soul songs, are cursed and sealed. To call on them without permission will inflict horrid pain that damages her soul.... more>>

Her new master is also the most gorgeous and terribly striking woman Lyra has ever laid eyes on, and this monster knows how to use that to break her new charge's will. Now Lyra must learn new ways to weave her magical songs into dark and agonizing melodies, else prove herself nothing more useful than a soul to be devoured.

What To Expect!

1. Reality is the dream of a dead goddess (NOT the MC) whose rotting mind can be felt at the edges of the worlds. Do not wake her up... please.
2. Matriarchal societies with tall and buff soul drinking Reavers, Beholder inspired mafia types, and song wielding shapeshifting Fae.
3. Sex is in this story, and serves to illustrate emotional growth, pain, and eventually the spark of hope for our heroine.
4. Trauma! D: Lyra is young and naïve whereas her mistress is cunning, cruel, and manipulative. Her affections are literally cultivated and used as tools to keep the young Fae bound to this monster's wills and whims.
5. Weekly updates, but also extra weekly updates because this writer has no self-control and needs help.

Lamentations of the Dead Dreamer is a dark adult fantasy story. It involves themes and topics of abuse (mental, physical, phycological, etc...), suicide ideation, sex, mild language things, slavery, and abandonment.

What would it be like to be a punny, black and yellow, honey-making insect in a world dominated by humans? In his first life, Enno wouldn’t be able to answer that question. His second life is a different story.... more>>

Reborn as a psychic bee in a tumultuous new world, Enno may or may not go on to create a fervent bee family obsessed with turning the entire world into their hive. Humanity is fighting to stay dominant, monsters are becoming restless, and the gods are NOT happy. If Enno wants to succeed, he’ll have to contend with giant killer birds, angry humans, and even the voice in his own head.

Because his body’s previous owner never vacated the premises.

What to expect:

An ever-expanding world.

Quite powerful protagonist.

A magic system based on psychic/mental powers

Interpersonal and internal conflicts

Hive-mind shenanigans

Undermining a god-made gamelike system.

And puns. Lots of 'em. Maybee too many.

A story inspired by series like Overlord by Kugane Maruyama and So I'm a Spider, So What? by Okina Baba, as well as the plethora of indie litrpg stories.

Includes swearing and some degree of gore, potentially traumatic content.

Somewhere on the Endless Sea.... more>>

The Border Mist materialized abruptly, shrouding the once calm and grey expanse of the sea. The impenetrable veil of white mist lingered persistently, its undulations akin to a living organism, before eventually receding and vanishing, erasing its existence entirely. In the space that had been occupied solely by the sea's surface, an island emerged, boasting a serene town and a grandiose gothic palace that appeared to cast a watchful gaze upon the city.

As the mist traversed the streets, it gradually unveiled the picturesque Victorian-style city. Dim street lamps cast a faint glow upon the cobblestones, revealing numerous statues of varied sizes, shapes, and race. These statues all shared a common trait—they were oriented toward the Gothic palace.

Within the opulent throne room stood a resplendent seat of power. Positioned before the throne were additional statues, all bowing in deference to the statue of the Ruler seated upon it. Draped in a cloak, the Ruler exuded an eerie and oppressive aura, even in statue form. Silence permeated the room; no motion, life, or breath stirred.

Unexpectedly, the eyes of the Ruler's statue ignited with cerulean flames.

'Ah... what... what's...' Caila pondered as her vision cleared, the memory of darkness faintly lingering.

Surveying the hushed hall, she beheld eerie statues bent in obeisance. 'What happened? Ugh... why... why can't I move?' Caila found herself immobilized; only her eyes retained mobility. She strained her gaze downward, catching a glimpse of her hands resting on the throne's armrests. 'Am I a statue? Wha... what? No! Help! Someone, save me!' Internally, she shrieked in panic, met only by an overwhelming silence. <<less

He behaves strangely around people, struggles to make friends, and thinks of love as a foreign concept until he meets Alexandra. But he falls into the abyss.

Power struggles, betrayal, and medieval society make his life difficult, but he retains most of his memories and encounters the magic of this world. He faces all the new challenges head-on, but his adventures escalate into epic battles.
While Nati stands at the center of the story, the friends and enemies he makes along the way also share their point of view.... more>> Orcs and beastmen, humans, and even gods contest the title to rule over the continent. Will they let Nati live the peaceful life he wanted?

Alex is a normal girl in a post-apocalyptic world of monsters. The remaining pockets of humanity now coexist with tamed creatures that defend their towns from existential threats beyond the edge of the map.
Then a Mark appears on Alex after a unique encounter. Now she can transform herself using monster essence!
It takes a monster to fight a monster, and someone has to breed them. ... more>>

Slightly interactive with periodic CYOA votes.

This is an obvious parody with a semi-serious tone, lots of monster sex, a futanari protagonist, and a growing harem of monster girls.

WARNING, Alex is bisexual and there will be both male and female monster species. If any of that isn’t your thing, move along.

All characters are +18 including the monsters, who are sapient with the ability to consent. Some scenes may have the threat of sexual violence, but there will be no non-consensual sex scenes with the protagonist.

Chapters will be tagged by kink in the Spoiler at the start.

Updates will be sporadic at best with many hiatuses.

Roxy is your typical early-stage Isekai LitRPG protagonist: get up, milk the cowgirls, go to your *other* menial day job, and spend what few free hours you have grinding up the adventuring skills you need to escape a life of drudgery. Hm? That second part? Milk the cowgirls.... more>>

Okay, so her circumstances might be a *bit* different.

Roxy is in a world that's not only a great deal more *fantastical* than her old one, but also a great deal *lewder.* She sublets a room in the apartment of an urban Rancher family that keeps a dozen or so Unawakened Cowgirls as livestock, and she's realizing she's the only person possibly in the *world* who thinks that's *weird.* What's more, she's drawn to *explore* that lewdness by a secret secondary Class she has, called Incubus, that rewards her with stat boosts every time she indulges her lusts. And that's not even *starting* on how, seemingly, *everyone* in this new world is some variety of woman!
