Cozy Forest is a cozy fantasy, slice of life web-series about the daily struggle of a small community hidden in the heart of a dense forest, rich in mystery, and magic. Every character is a main character. Everyone has problems of their own. Everyone must do their share to help the village grow, feed itself, survive and strive.... more>>

This is a slow burn. The plot is the intricate relationships between the characters and the growth of the village of Cozy Forest. There will be major arcs and significant changes to the village as the story progresses. Most chapters focus on 1 POV only, so the length varies between 800 to 3,000 words. I don't want write extra fluff to reach a target word count per chapter. When the POV chapter is done, it's done.

Alex liked swords. That's all there was to it. Still there wasn't much he could really do with that like. Buying or forging one himself was too much work, and he was lazy. He resigned himself to books, manga, and anime about the topic, that childhood dream of being the master of the sword faintly residing in the back of his mind when he had free time. His brother told him about a small game that he was keeping an eye on called "Possibility" They had released a pair of specialty glasses on the game, which boasted learning how to use a sword. Intrigued in the prospect of at least learning sword movements, that dream... more>> reignited.

_=_=_=_=_=_=_=

Possibility is a mixed reality modern fiction take on swords and magic, taking what I like from Rebirth of the Thief who Roamed the World, Reincarnation of the Strongest Sword God, Apocalypse Online, God of Bugs, and a recent fic, Rise of Babel. It's a realistic take on sword and magic, and follows the rise of a game into worldwide aclaim from one of its first players, instead of starting the story with the world already established. Not going to be a ton of action in the beginning, mostly system dynamics and training, lots of training. As someone who is obsessed with training arcs, this story will start off slow, and the system itself will grow over time becoming more advanced (but still simple, since I like simple systems). I'm choosing AR instead of VR for most of the story, since I like the aspect of training your body to affect a game in real life (present in both RotTWRtW and RofSSG)

If you think this might be a cool topic, take a read. If not, feel free to wait until I've stockpiled at least a few dozen chapters to binge since at the very least it'll be a lot of words. <<less

English synopsis:

When the nameless protagonist wakes up in an unknown world without memories being a slave to the Baron, a so called "Adventurer", is the least he expected. He soon finds out that "Adventurers" are players from another world, a "real" world somewhere out there, who have completed the video game that is this otherworld by slaying the final boss. However, the whole playerbase is still stuck in this game which they now have to call their new home. After the death of the great hero Arslan, the Godslayer, they split into two groups: The Heavenly Union in the west, which lives in harmony with the inhabitants of this world, and Carnifex in the east, which sees the NPCs as a means to an end for their ultimate goal.

When the Nameless is the only slave released from captivity he is willing to quest for gold to buy his friends free. He sets out on an adventure which might bring back his memories while at the same time making him the great new hero of this otherworld. Raiding bosses, leveling up and looting gear are all par for the course when uniting the players and NPCs alike to take another shot at killing this world's gods.

"I Woke Up In Another World As A Slave" is a debut web serial in the Isekai/LitRPG genre by two student buddies (IgLu Books) exploring class divide, comeradery and heroism in a player-run video game world long after the final boss has been slain.

English chapters come out every Tuesday and Friday at 6 p.m. CEST. German chapters release every 10 weeks in bulks of 20 (approximate chapter length 900-1100 words).

Deutsche Synopsis:

Als der namenlose Protagonist ohne Erinnerungen in einer unbekannten Welt aufwacht, ist das Letzte, was er erwartet hatte, dass er ein Sklave des Barons ist. Bald lernt er, dass sogenannte "Abenteurer" Spieler aus einer anderen Welt sind, einer "echten" Welt da draußen, die das Videospiel dieser Welt abgeschlossen haben, indem sie den Endboss besiegt haben. Die gesamte Spielergemeinschaft steckt jedoch immer noch in diesem Spiel fest, das sie nun ihr neues Zuhause nennen müssen. Nach dem Tod des großen Helden Arslan, des Gottesmörders, spalteten sich die Spieler in zwei Gruppen: Die Heavenly Union im Westen, die in Harmonie mit den Bewohnern dieser Welt lebt, und Carnifex im Osten, die die NPCs als Mittel zum Zweck für ihr ultimatives Ziel betrachtet.

Als der Namenslose der einzige befreite Sklave ist, ist er bereit, nach Gold zu suchen, um seine Freunde freizukaufen. Er begibt sich auf ein Abenteuer, das seine Erinnerungen zurückbringen könnte, während er gleichzeitig der große neue Held dieser anderen Welt werden könnte. Raidbosse, Level-Ups und Beute plündern gehören dazu, wenn es darum geht, Spieler und NPCs gleichermaßen zu vereinen, um einen weiteren Versuch zu unternehmen, die Götter dieser Welt zu töten.

"I Woke Up In Another World As A Slave" ist das Debüt-Web-Serial im Isekai/LitRPG-Genre von zwei Studentenfreunden (IgLu Books), das Klassenschranken, Kameradschaft und Heldentum in einer von Spielern betriebenen Videospielwelt erforscht, lange nachdem der Endboss besiegt wurde.

Englische Kapitel erscheinen jeden Dienstag und Freitag um 18 Uhr CEST. Alle 10 Wochen erscheinen 20 Kapitel auf deutsch (Ungefähre Kapitellänge 900-1100 Wörter). <<less

Grace Lockhart was just an eight-year-old girl who lived on the streets when her mother abandoned her.

Until Ruby, her best friend, walked into Grace's life. Ruby just happens to be a giant black bear. At least this is how Ruby started out. Now Ruby may just be the reincarnation of Winnie-the-Pooh.

Something Grace cannot accept. The honey war is on. But with Ruby joining Grace's side as they both get isekaid into the world of Inherion.

A vast cultivation world where Grace will find even more animal friends to join her in her comedic adventures.

Such as the cow Dolly Moomaid or the fish-loving snake Hanaconda. Or the super soldier chicken Colonel Tenders, a giant 300-pound rooster, and his loyal dog soldiers.

Grace's new animal friends will help her explore her destiny as The Crown Of Sorrows.

Grace is someone who can always turn any bad situation into a beneficial one for her. And a terrible one for her enemies.

Grace Lockhart’s favorite pastime in Inherion will be to slap arrogant villains and protagonists in the face.

Grace will say, "What you call that pride?" Only for Grace to slap them in the face. "That's not pride. That's stupidity. Get in line with the other rejects. Watch how this sister gets things done."

Join her in her adventures.

A young orphan works hard every single day, trying to single-handedly keep his parents’ business alive, all the while tortured by a terrible curse.... more>>

Then came the day that a wizard became his mentor - and he learned that his entire life was a lie… His parents didn’t just die, they were brutally murdered; he was not cursed at all; his uncle was not in fact his uncle; and he could channel magic! Struggling to rise above the tragedy of his horrific past, he is now thrown into an entirely new world.

Day by day he must push himself to catch up with his new peers, learning the secrets of this vast new world, while studying the arts of combat, weapons, and magic!

Where do his strengths lie? What are his talents? Is he strong enough to overcome the obstacles in his way?

And why is he considered so unique?

The secrets of the academy, of the missing ambassador, of the hidden dragons, and of the empires and kingdoms marching to war in the east - all have been hurled into an abyss so deep that they should never be found.

Yet Yaric grew up in the abyss, and watching his new world get dragged down by the secrets, Yaric is forced to plunge right back in. But as Yaric already knows, staring into the abyss is easy. Falling in is effortless. Rising back out however, that may not be possible at all!

Only for those who want more than a brief synopsis...
What to expect:

The mc is kind of overpowered, but not in a typical way. And definitely not in an obvious way. He does get more overpowered as the story develops though. Again, not in a normal way.

Yaric is central, but many side characters are very important. The world doesn’t revolve around him.

There will not be any training montages. Power is gained through effort, and training and learning is part of the journey. Some will likely consider the story ‘slow burn’ – the mc is discovered to have magical potential, and then spends many years studying. Lore is revealed as the mc learns. The journey is the story.

The mc’s journey will include training missions, fulfilling appeals (effectively ‘adventuring’), diplomatic missions, small scale skirmishes and large-scale wars encompassing multiple nations. Mysteries and crimes will have to be solved along the way. There will be monsters, creatures hiding in the dark, and apocalyptic behemoths. Oh, and there will be dragons. Very important dragons. They’re coming!

There will be combat, martial arts, different kinds of magic, and various forms of crafting. Different nations have different cultures; politics, trade, and wars between them are important. Battles aren't just groups of soldiers slugging it out. Ok, sometimes they are...

It might take a while to get there, but there are overarching plots over and above the minor plots and story arcs. The main plot starts right at the beginning.

The world:

It's less medieval and more Roman Empire/Ancient China, if they both had magic and 1000’s of years of extra development. Just like they had occupations such as administrators, secretaries, lawyers, architects, acrobats, firemen and accountants, so too does Malvec and the surrounding nations. The sapient population includes humans, elves, dwarves, draugr and lichs. Wildlife includes ogres and vardøgers, trolls and gnolls, hellcats and nightwing bats. And much more!

Technology is more advanced, due to 2 main differences between those empires and nations like Malvec
Time: Civilization has been around longer - by thousands of years. Mass production is common. Assembly lines have been developed. Various forms of schools and education are widespread. Steam power, internal combustion engines and electricity are practically the only things missing. Essentially power generation and storage.
Food: Mages drastically enhance food production, making populations both larger and more diverse. A much larger % of the population take up other jobs.

As everyone's attention shifted to the clock, its hands inching towards 12, a sudden and unexpected darkness swept over the room. A strange, otherworldly voice echoed through the engulfing shadows, "This will be fun."... more>>

And in that moment, everything changed.

...

"Let's see, for you... what about a game of chess?" the skeleton proposed, its voice a strange blend of ageless wisdom and playful mischief.

...

"The world is filled with uncertainties and choices," the skeleton began, its voice echoing softly in the void. "They intertwine in a beautiful, complex way – not entirely random, but not predetermined either. You're not completely free, yet not entirely a prisoner. To simplify... or perhaps complicate things, I'm setting you humans in a game. A vast game, by your standards. The 'why' of this game is for you to uncover, as is its objective."

...

“You’ve pondered it, but the true scope of this Game is beyond your wildest imagination…” A brief pause punctuated its point, “You are simply too limited in your current state to grasp its magnitude,” it continued. “No matter what strategy you devise, what concept you conjure, or what combination you dream up, anything within the realm of human creation or conception, even with your stats boosted a thousandfold, will not even remotely approach the complexity of the Game.”

...

"Your efforts may finally prove beneficial, Alice," her mother continued, her tone shifting as she broached a subject heavy with implications. "We have received an offer of marriage on your behalf. Richard, the Count's second son, has shown interest."

...

In the quiet, she schemed, her influence extending unseen through whispered words and carefully planted ideas. Her musings occasionally ventured to whether it was sight that rendered others so blissfully unaware of the deeper currents of life, or if she, endowed with an extraordinary mind amidst her physical limitations, was an anomaly in a world too shallow to fathom her depths.

...

Maybe, just maybe, her times of boredom were over.

...

Did the fact he didn't fight on the front lines mean he was a coward? The reality was he really wished he could. How could he not crave the adrenaline of wielding superhuman strength, of shouting as he faced insurmountable odds? He wished he had magic, he wished he could level up and be respected by friends and foes alike. He wished for it a lot. Fuck, he wished he still had his other eye and his arm. But reality was cruel; he was dealt a bad hand and had to make the most of it. He made his choices, his sacrifices, for the best outcome.
