God is a pervert.... more>>

I decided that after I died and found myself in heaven.

Although I’m happy that God offered to grant my lifelong wish (to become a girl), the only potential bodies that he offered as options were beautiful bishojos with DDD-size boobs, jade-like skin, and porn-star like curves. He tried to convince me to take the one with the biggest ass and thus become the holy sex princess of some freakish isekai magic kingdom, but I immediately flushed a bright tomato color and punched God right in the face without thinking.

Ah yeah, whoops.

Anyways, I think I made God really angry at me, so now I’m reincarnated in this horrible traumatizing medieval setting as a genuinely unattractive and flat-as-a-washboard girl with some kind of weird autoimmune skin condition.

Every day is a struggle, and it’s taking everything I have to merely survive.

Is there a hope for a better life at all? Even amidst this jungle of darkness, can I find my way out of poverty, meet new people to love, and aspire to make my mark towards a better world?

Welcome to the story of my genderbent life!

Note: This story is *not* ecchi! Make sure you read the tags! The story starts out quite dark! <<less

Splendid Glory holds many secrets, and the path to the greatest heights of the World Tree is long and arduous. There won’t be any more second chances, Michael. Remember, everything happens for a reason.

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

When she was a child, Choice experienced what she considered to be true freedom but now that she has grown up, there are a lot of rules and responsibilities she has to submit to. She despises hiding her dreams, desires and personality. She is one of the children of the King so why can’t she sit on the throne.... more>>

See Choice as she meets different people and species on her journey to reach the top. But can she achieve her dream? Can she change the mind of a nation and ascend where no one wants her to go? What will Choice do to reach the top? Just remember Choice is not always a good person.

Have you ever imagined a world where your pet cat is actually a catgirl?... more>>

In a distant fantasy world, all beastkin are pets. As early as the Stone Age, humans have domesticated this unique breed of talking beasts, and these species have evolved to become dependent on human contact. Today, they are man’s best friend. Whether it is for companionship, intimacy, or a shoulder to lean on, beastkin are often a treasured part of many human families. Every child grows up with one from infancy, and the emotional bonds tying pets to their owners are engraved deep.

Kiel Kitsune is a fox beastkin. His owner, Susella vi Telleste, is the seventeen-year-old daughter of a successful frontier merchant. She is betrothed to the third prince of Kalastasia, and must prepare to move to the capital to join the royal court. However, as mere commoners, they lack the knowledge and political acumen of the urban aristocracy. Adapting to a new environment may be a little more challenging than they’re prepared for.

This is the story of a fox and a girl who embark on an unsettling odyssey through a foreign world of unfamiliar and jarring customs. Together, they must consider the meaning of their connection and the course of their future even as destiny splinters them apart.

Orivar is a web novel series set in the distant future. Humanity has all but mastered the exotic material known as omnium, the most common of which is called orivar: the original variety. That clear crystal is a transmuter of mass and energy, and the very existence of contemporary Civilized Space depends on it.

Deep Black, the first book in the series, begins a classic story of light versus darkness. A novel variety of omnium–one with the potential of sending Civilized Space crashing down–is stolen from a research station just beyond the Federation border. Atara Korrell, a retired Navy captain, is called to command the fastest starship ever made to chase the thieves and retrieve the stolen sample. Meanwhile, enemies both near and far vie for the omnium sample and the advanced technology powering her ship. Can Atara remain loyal in the face of seeming betrayal?

Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier.... more>>

It turns out, life isn’t that simple.

For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked through the ages to ensure the land stays at peace.

As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps.

Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace.

Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing.

When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them.

And there’s more at play in their ‘peaceful’ world than they’d thought. <<less
