"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche (...probably?)... more>>

How would you react if one day you found yourself in an environment running on tropes and clichés?

For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this rhetorical question became uncomfortably real on the day he woke up on a strangely pristine island country in the middle of the Atlantic. Without memories, surrounded by characterless placeholders, and with a classic harem protagonist and his various love interests for friends, he tries his best to fit in and figure out what's going on.

That would be difficult enough already, yet his investigation into the rules governing the world, sabotaging the harem tropes, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes, ends up drawing the attention of the world's nebulous narrative...

Rachel is a 19-year-old Muay Thai-loving college girl going about her troubled life, but all of that is about to be compounded when she grows two big ears and a tail from her backside.  After moving into her dorm room at Miami University, the whole world is flipped on its head when the heavens crack like stained glass, and 1/150th of the world's population is transformed into creatures and granted an unusual Leveling System.  A large subsection of the world population is turned into beasts, fae, or aberrant people, while others are granted powers from historical and mythological figures, such as King Arthur, Saint Charlemagne, or the dreaded Leviathan.  Wait, now there are alien toads... more>> popping out of Crystal Gateways?

Having to put petty problems to the side, Rachel has to figure out what is happening as the whole world tries to do the same, but she has a few secret weapons, two of which are on the top of her head; she uses her newly acquired hearing to scope out the changes people are experiencing and gathers the wealth of information at her college campus to plot a way forward as martial law is instituted.  If aliens and spontaneously becoming a moon bunny hare wasn't enough, popular gods seem to have something to do with the new System in this urban fantasy adventure.  Blessed by the mysterious goddess Ceridwen, our MC will have to combat the divine manipulations with her most potent weapon: misfortune.  Being an unlucky hare, rather than a lucky bun, what will Rachel's lousy fortune bring both her and her enemies because even the gods fear our Mythickin Lunar Bun Hare!

The world devolved into chaos as a game-like system reduced the population to a series of statistics and screens. Confusion reigned as everyone struggled to survive in this new reality. Everyone but one man. Anthony Franklin had a secret. One that gave him an edge. He had lived through this exact series of events... 99 times in a row.... more>>

Anthony needed to take advantage of all he accomplished over the past centuries: every play, shortcut, and strategy, to save as many lives as possible by the end. He would contend with vicious boss monsters, elude the ever watching eyes of the system administrators, and watch his back from the scheming players that wanted the game to go their way no matter the cost.

In a world where every individual has their own goals, dreams, and fears, shepherding them won't be easy. Anthony must use all of his considerable experience to gain a powerful class and put the scared populace on the right track and take out threats before they become too big. There will be no more chances; win or lose, his 100th run shall be his last.

"Finally," whispers Katherine, crimson hair cascading down her shoulders as she views the flickering images on the record device. ... more>>

"Both of them have vanished it seems…leaving only whispers of their escape."

But her lips curl into a knowing smile as she spots a familiar figure manipulating a seemingly ordinary vase with otherworldly grace - his silver hair shimmering with arcane energy.

Unremarkable features, yes, but the power he wields...that is anything but.

"Found you, Grey," she purrs, eyes gleaming with a mix of anticipation and predatory delight. His fate, and perhaps the fate of their world, hangs in the balance.

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.

I’m Alvin Smithson and let me tell you my story.
-----

Alvin grew up on Earth, or at least one shockingly similar to what you’re familiar with. Except for the magic. And Alvin? Despite never having experienced magic before, he believed in magic a little too much. So when magic found him, he was past the point of being returned to his boring modern life. Then things got worse when they tested him to see if he had any magic of his own.

Join me, as we get a front-row seat to Alvin being banished from Earth and as he descend into a painful rebirth. He won’t be leaving the planet alone, though. Much to his misfortune, a person going along has decided this is all Alin’s fault and is more than willing to make their displeasure known. So now Alvin only has a limited time to learn about his power in a place actively trying to kill him.

Can Alvin adapt fast enough? Gain the power needed? Or will he be just another life snuffed out in a realm where no one has ever escaped from?

Jordan Johannesburg is just your average guy. Well he would be, if it weren't for the fact that he's perpetually haunted by something called a Stand. What's a Stand? Well they say Stands are a reflection of the shape of your soul given physical form. Like a persona, or a caricature of the User. Well Jordan's soul just so happens to take the shape of a demonic doll ghost that can do blood magic, of all things. Combined with these powers, JoJo and RoseGold go on a journey of self reflection that takes the shape of your typical Shonen. But this time with girls love and transfemme elements. This story explores the psychological aspects of... more>> being haunted, being super mentally ill, and being a bit of a manipulative girly. All accompanied with mysteries, lies, and several high octane fight scenes. Ora Ora~!

This story is loosely a fanfiction set in the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure by the mangaka Hirohiko Araki. I do not intend to make this fiction to say that I can write jojo's better than he can. I cannot! I'm just writing this because I wanted to mess around with the concept of stands and stuff with a backdrop of my own complexes and issues. So there's gonna be LOTS ofinconsistencies between this and the source material, namely with the fact that the main character is a trans girl egg that will crack part of the way through the story, and that there's a magic system. You don't need to know JJBA before reading this, but it certainly does help.
