Tibs survived by picking pockets; until he’s caught.... more>>

Instead of losing a hand, he’s sent away and told he must now survive a dungeon.

How is a kid who knew nothing more than his street supposed to survive a dungeon that changes each time he goes in it?

Being sent into an ever-growing dungeon becomes his life, facing ever-changing threats to him and the people he tries so hard not to become attached to. He’d like to run away, but where the dungeon means he might die, the guards have made it clear trying to run will ensure he does.

But his street taught Tibs to get back up after he’s beaten down. So he isn’t going to just give up. And maybe, just maybe, if he’s tough enough to take a chance on people, and on a deal for power he’s advised against taking, Tibs can not only survive, but beat those who seem to stack the odds against him. <<less

"Do you know the true meaning behind the role you have chosen to undertake? I can most assure you it is not always a happy one nor is it one that can be take lightly. You've a gift that makes you shine like no other within the valley of dragons but to truly grow to your great potential you need to have various experiences."

okay sooooo this is my first time writing a story and to be quite honest. i've no idea what i'm doing so i'd appreciate any type of constructive criticism and advice. Seriously.

references to other regions and their events
darker take on certain themes and elements

Fukaze Honzo is a 16-year-old student that frequently struggles with... well existing. Set in the rather 'boring' suburbs of Takabata, in Nagoya, Honzo has a hard time trying to come to terms with himself, despite his clear privileged status in society and a friendship group. He suffers from episodes of depersonalization, with him feeling like an outsider within his own body. As he starts the second year, he finally recognizes that this gloomy and negative personality might need to change, or at least improve his outlook. Just as fortune may have it, there's an idealist, maybe even naive, senpai who invites him, and his friends to a brand new school club. ... more>>

It's called the Culture & Travel Club. A club all about making the community a better place and learning all about the world. And that all starts here, in Nagoya. Despite this, Honzo still needs to navigate the absurdities of living. One day, he might start appreciating himself. Perhaps, even someone else, too.

Warning: There are some topics that might be a bit upsetting. The characters talk about murder/manslaughter and crime as well as a vehicular accident.

There is no pattern to dropping anymore but I try on Tuesdays. This is also the first web-novel I've written, so I really have no idea if it's even adequate. I literally only started writing for fun and a month later, I have now written enough for at least someone else to read. I'm really just talking about genuine social issues that apply to both my home nation and, not trying to be patronizing, Japan too within the confines of a romcom that's wholesome enough for someone to probably ignore the issues raised.

Thanks, if you're reading this and I hope you at least had a modicum of enjoyment, if you do read the story.

Also, I know Fukaze Honzo's name makes literally no sense <<less

NOTE:
Everything in the novel is subject to change, this is a bare bones run that does have cringey points and unrefined pieces in story and grammar. I'm learning how to be an author and WILL go back and fix every chapter at some point. That'll probably be closer towards the end though which is quite far out, so please, if you decide to give it a read, keep that thought in mind. Also, feedback is appreciated 🙏 <<less

To escape this fate, she decides to use her knowledge of the novel and her skills as a Prophetess on behalf of the Duke of the North, another extra who was only mentioned in a few lines and who died "heroically" against a Dragon to usher in the era of his son, the protagonist.

With her modern knowledge and skills, she prevents the tragic fate of the Duke and his lands, takes care of the Duke's children, as well as bringing never-before-seen prosperity to the commoners and at the same time helping to get rid of the greedy nobles who tormented them. . . .

However, he perhaps overdid it, as it all backfired on him in some strange way.

"Duke, I have to return to my town..."

"I'm sorry, I can't allow it."

"...Can you tell me why?"

The handsome duke gave her a cheeky smile that made her want to punch him in the face.

P.S. Nice to meet you, my name is Bogdan and I am the author of the screenplay you can read below. Before you proceed to familiarize yourself with my work, I would like to share some details.
This is not the light novel you're accustomed to seeing here. This is the screenplay for a visual novel that I, along with my friends, wrote for the Ukrainian Visual Novel Jam. Below is a link to our game. Unfortunately, there is no English version available yet, but we will add one soon.
This story about Nika and Yuri is very important to me because I wrote it after breaking up with my girlfriend, and to be honest, I was shattered. At that moment, it seemed easier to die than to continue living. Overall, everything was fine for me until then, but after the breakup, I found myself for the first time standing in front of the mirror, thinking that there was no real purpose in continuing to live.

But thanks to my friends and the writing of this story, I managed to pull myself back. Perhaps my state wasn't as dire as I thought, but the support of close people and engaging in creative work helped me see a distant glimmer of hope in life.

Initially, we thought that everything would end with the jam, but after it ended, I decided that I wanted to make more out of this story. I didn't just want to tell the story of one couple, but I wanted to try to help people who are also going through a breakup and don't know what to do next. <<less

Quiet, reserved, and relatively enjoying his life.... more>>

Kane wasn't really happy when he woke up with a new name, a new face, and to a whole new world.

A world with one big continent, a place where cities are named A through Z, and also where bizarre things happen so often he has no idea how the world hasn’t completely fallen into ruin yet.

Also, things like monsters, evil scientists, giants, zombies, undead lichs, psychics, superheroes, supervillains, cyborgs, and anything else he could think of are a common sight.

And unfortunately as well, most of those things seem to be trying their best to kill him outright or cause mass destruction.

Annoyingly, since he now lives here, he doesn't really have much of a choice but to intervene in hopes of ensuring that he and everyone else in this crazy world can maybe live to see tomorrow.

Thankfully, though much to his utter confusion, he has awakened something called The Ultimate Gacha System. And although it might be a big help to him in his coming battles, it is rather perplexing that the things his system gives him are from animes, shows, games, or movies he has next to no knowledge of…

Despite this, Kane—now Kanagawa—hopes he can achieve some semblance of control while becoming someone he can be proud of in this perilous world.

To start, the Hero Association doesn't sound too bad, because honestly, Kanagawa could easily assume a place where heroes gather couldn’t be completely full of insane people right?

Right?

Great.
