What a wrong way to reincarnate after being murdered by one's best friend!... more>>

Nekohiko's throat was slit as he was ascending his throne as the Supreme Divine Emperor. A moment later, his murderer claimed that very throne for himself. To add the insult to the injury -- Nekohiko's name was erased from all the history books as though he had never existed.

Driven by intense resentment, Nekohiko refused to die. He reincarnated. He had to find out how someone who loved him and who he loved back could destroy him so utterly along with everything Nekohiko stood for.

The only problem was that he reincarnated as a... tree. No, much worse than that. A cut tree. A simple wooden log sent to a workshop to be shaped into, let's say, a table, or a chair, or maybe -- if fortunate -- into a bookshelf for the new Emperor.

Until Nekohiko meets a soul that understands his pain and is willing to help a poor tree log gain shape that is far more fitting for a human bent on nothing but sweet, slow revenge.

Or, even better -- several shapes.

I will release a chapter every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

See the Glossary for more Information about the romance (ML section). Or in general -- for pictures and miscellaneous stuff about the book. ^^

The story is a slow burn with plenty of twists and turns and will involve a lot of mystery-solving to understand the motivations and goals of different characters. Action sequences will happen when the plot calls for them, but they will all require buildup to greater impact. The main themes are emotional and psychological explorations of identity, desire, fate, and intent. Characters will grow and develop across present arcs but flashbacks to provide context and mystery clues to their behaviors will be in order, yet without overpowering the present narrative (Flashbacks are episodic slice-of-life and do not have their own plot line).

Our main character, Reo van Dijck, tries to survive in a world where magic-spells are stored in game-like-cartridges. Only a few lucky ones can use them though. These chosen ones are venerated and worshipped like celebrities, unbelievable riches lie only a single dungeon-exploration away for them, they are called Machia. ... more>>

What will happen to our protagonist when he awakens as a Machia and discovers that he can actually program these magic-cartridges?...

The Earth also changed drastically since the dungeons appeared, how could it not? These unknown, giant towers suddenly started spewing out hordes of fiends and monstrosities. Only The Machia were able to defend against these attacks on humanity. Countries were destroyed, safe-havens were build and then yet again destroyed. Eventually humanity adapted, like it always does. The economy was rebuild and centered around these new towers, these dungeons, the treasures they hold outweigh their dangers. Life is relatively safe again, for most at least…

Read about Reo’s exploits, an immigrant from the Netherlands, as he tries to honor his dead parents and… find love? Establish a Guild?! Live the Ideal Harem life?!! BECOME PIRATE KING?!!! Okay maybe not that last one, but Reo will definitely leave his mark behind on this world full of mystery.

This story features romance, comradery, an interesting power system and a post-apocalyptic world with amusing characters, what more do you want?! No seriously, I’m always open to constructive feedback.

This story also displays my interpretation of a magic-coding-language (based on JAVA). Although knowledge about coding helps, you can also enjoy the story without it 😊. <<less

Expectations suck and young Edwin knows it better than most. Born the youngest son of the second wife of a retired adventurer turned village guardian, he feels his life is being taken away from him, being shaped by what others want him to do.... more>>

His grandfather expects him to succeed in his life’s work as village head, his father expects Edwin to be better than him, and his older brother expects him to just drop dead.

He’s the weakest and most untalented of his siblings, whatever he can do. Surely his older "grumpier" half-brother and "Unique" half-sister can do better.

If it was up to him, he would go out and brave the dangers of the world, dread wolves, dragons, giant sand worms, and gargantuan sea serpents. He would fight them all and live many adventures, turning his name into legend.

Sadly, things hardly go the way we want them to.

Lucky for him, the recent arrival of a mage to the coastal town of Hillside has given Edwin an opportunity, a chance that may change his life forever as outside forces play in the background with the delicate balance maintaining the peace.

Edwin will now give it his all to journey through the path of magic while learning about the people in his life and the circumstances that lead to his birth.

In which a well-intentioned Earthling with all the idealism of a Disney princess decides to bring some much-needed civility to the cutthroat world of cultivation... with social media.... more>>

Long Synopsis: “Choose wisely, for choice is what makes the Cultivator.”

That was the one true maxim of this world where the law of the jungle reigned supreme. Where the strong flayed the weak to take what they desired. Where the heavens weaved stories on behalf of their favoured children, using all else as mere pawns for their means. For aeons unchanged did the cultivation world remain, with traditions and taboos set in stone.

But that’s ancient history.

The flickering screen showed the Red Heavens Supreme Patriarch live-streaming his Dao of the Sigma Tyrant Podcast, the Nine-tailed Celestial Vixen kickstarting the Nine-by-ninth-wave Feminism, and the Trans-cended Cisgolden Buddha hustling his Self-help pyramid scheme to his untold number of followers.

Even the Foreign Gods and Immortal Devils came down to lurk beneath the dark web 24/7, illegally trading pirated video-game mods and contraband mp4 files for the newest fad Crypto-spirit stone.

Finally, deciding enough was enough, the mortals rose up, armed in all-caps, and cancelled every cultivator online for even the slightest microaggression, triggering the conservative heavens to bend the knee, or be demonetised.

When he was but a mortal, Yung—previously Jung—a soul adrift from a far gentler world- had merely asked this innocent question: “Is such cruelty truly necessary?”

“No!” He judged; his modern sensibilities would not allow it. In a world where he could cultivate to be anything, he chose to be kind. Thus, standing upon the shoulders of all the great thinkers of Earth, and with the help of his rich foxy sweetheart, he had set out with a dream to make the heavens merciful.

But alas, lady fate was fickle after all.

Yung turned the television off with a confused, ashamed, and profoundly remorseful heart.

He had achieved his dreams. But at what cost?

Disclaimer: This fiction may contain descriptions of explicit sexual (and erotic) acts, long character arcs, philosophical discourses, irrationality over logic, partisan idealism, and other adult themes, all towards being a hopefully gratifying (fun) and emotion-packed story.

Do you think that you are a true otaku? The weeb that consumes one terrible rom-com light novel adaptaion after another? Do you think you are so experienced in the field of cliche-packed harems, that you might as well just get isekai'd into one and guide your confused friends toward the 'True End'?... more>>

Hiro Chikakane would answer 'yes' to all of the above. Although he heroically decided to reject his otaku self, his fate had other plans for him.
One day, during his very first date with his very first actual 3D girlfriend, both of them get hit by the infamous truck and find themselves transported into... a harem, rom-com light novel with a ridiculously long title.

As something of a scientist himself, Hiro is faced with the most weeb challenge of all - To perfectly recreate all the rom-com cliches and thus finish the storyline with the help of totally original cast of The Main Girl, The Tsundere Childhood Friend, The Not-Related-By-Blood Younger Sister and (not so) many more.

Will Hiro and the team discover the secrets of the anime-esque world they found themselves in? Will they actually make this goddamn maid cafe in the 'School Festival Arc'? And most importantly, will Hiro decide... WHO IS THE BEST GIRL??? <<less

Tannel died young, yet his legacy as a mage remains unparalleled. A prodigy in the magic of machinery, his techniques have not been fully replicated three hundred years after his passing, and the creation of an artificial life has never been successfully attempted again. But the greatest of his deeds was one that cost him his life, a sacrifice that he made willingly to halt a catastrophe, though then he did not yet understand the true extent of the threat to the entire world.... more>>

Never did he expect that he would yet live again. Nor would he have wished for it, for the terrible price for his second chance was paid by his own family, who had taken on his mantle of sacrifice in his absence. Centuries have passed and the world is no longer as he once knew it. The body he now inhabits was someone else's, and even the nature of his own existence eludes his understanding. But what has not changed is the weight of his responsibilities.

But it is also his chance to tackle the threats that remain, that had forced him to make the ultimate sacrifice, to solve the mysteries that he never had the time to unveil, but which nonetheless would not let him rest at peace. With ancient things on the move and numerous magics at work that evade his comprehension, these are challenges to his pride that can't be left unanswered.

Jordan Leoren is, unfortunately, not your average 10-year-old boy. He is handsome, from a rich family, and has been a very popular child model and actor since the age of 4.

He doesn't want the fame and attention, nor does he want jealous looks from other boys when the girls swarm him. All he wants from life is to explore and discover the unknown.

If it wasn't for his parent's proud smiles and expectant eyes, he would have long ago quit and lived normally.

He lives a kilometer or so from the small village of Godric's Hollow in his family's manor. This manor has been in his family for generations and they are considered one of the founders of the village. This, and the small-town vibe, basically ensure Jordan cannot go anywhere in the village without being immediately noticed and called for pictures, autographs, or asked to meet people's sons or daughters. Jordan's saving grace is the huge plot of land that his family owns around their manor, and it is his one source of adventure and escape.

It is in this large expanse of rolling hills, lush and verdant forests, and rocky crags that he finds a secret. A secret found just days before his 11th birthday. A secret that truly starts his life. No more dreaming of adventure, it is time for him to experience it and discover the mysteries of a strange new world and his family's legacy. The legend of Jordan Godric Leoren is about to begin.

[Crime – Omegaverse]
Was it possible for the devil to get his own happy ending?... more>>

A major accident seven years ago had stolen He Juan’s memory away from him, wiping it so clean that the only things he were left with were only his name, numerous scars all over his body and a nasty side effect as a result of the aftermath.

Seven years passed by and when He Juan thought he could live like a normal person again, a fateful day led him to be the prime suspect of the murder case of his neighbor who had written his name as her dying message — whom, in his defense, he had not even talked to!

It was then that he met Mu Yuze, the lone wolf of the Violent Crime Investigation Unit; the cold, intimidating man with beautiful and intense midnight blue eyes who seemed to hate him at first sight for some reason He Juan couldn’t comprehend.

One after another, bizarre cases intruded on He Juan's normal life and turned it upside down, bringing light to a dusty past he thought he could never remember again. In the end, he had to learn that even if he had forgotten who he once was… there were still some sins he had to atone.
