"Argh, how did my life end up like this?!"... more>>

There was once a boy who's well-loved and popular with his peers. His smile could melt an adult's heart and his easygoing and sweet nature attracted a lot of girls who became his admirers.

Little did he know that such a blessed life wouldn't last forever.

Now, he is an ugly, overweight adult, working a job he doesn't like, and leading a life he doesn't want. No women want to be near him, let alone be his girlfriend, or even his wife. He is an oversized gear in a machine that doesn't even welcome him.

When he gets fired from his job, it is the last straw from him. He remembers his life as a kid, and now good and beautiful it was.

"I don't want this. I don't want this anymore!"

"I would be better off dead than having to live like this for a second longer!"

Suicidal, he passes by a flooding river, as there is a storm that day. He immediately thinks of throwing himself there, ending it once and for all.

And he does. But not because he actually has the balls to kill himself via drowning, but because he sees a little girl being carried down the river by the strong current.

In a split second, he decides that it would be better if she lives, even if he has to die in the process.

And he does. He saves her, throwing her into the side of the river. But then his legs, rarely ever used, suddenly cramp. He can do nothing as he is swallowed by the waves.

"Aah, it would be nice if I could be reincarnated into a fantasy world, like in those stories... I can do it all over, and do it better this time around..."

His wish is granted. When he wakes up, he's no longer his old, adult self. He's a baby, living in an entirely new world.

This is his story.

This story would have both happiness and hardships, heartwarming and sad moments, as well as romance that doesn't just end in a kiss. This is a harem story that will end up in a genuine polygamous relationship. It's also an adventure story, though it would stay as a slice-of-life for a good while as MC grows up.

What happens when humanity's greatest weapon gets a second chance at life? Commander Kronos wasn't even considered to be a human but rather a weapon to be used for the greater good of his species. He was grown in a tube to be the perfect weapon, so he lacked many emotions/experiences most people take for granted. Upon experiencing some emotions for the first time he was quickly eliminated by humanity and was reborn into a world of swords and sorcery, getting a second lease on life.... more>>

Of course, he didn't see it that way at the start and thought he was being fooled. It took a near-death experience and a lot of growing up, but he finally decided to keep his promise to his former comrades and give his new life an honest try.

Embark on the story of the former Commander of Hades Squad as he settles into his new life as the Dark Elf Kaladin Shadowheart.

What defines endgame content? Is it raiding epic dungeons to take down the strongest bosses there are, or is it facing off against other players to climb the ladder and become the top PvPer? Is endgame content gathering materials and crafting the strongest and most exotic equipment that there is, or is it all about playing the market and amassing more wealth than everybody else? Some people even argue that fashion and minigames are endgame content!... more>>

Ryouta has already done all of that. Having spent most of his life playing MMO after MMO, he now finds himself wanting to live a virtual life that is far more relaxed and casual than what he is known for.

To Ryouta, the true endgame is fishing.

*The above is the novel blurb for the first book of this series. Keep in mind that this is a tragic, grimdark progression fantasy, so there are many sad moments that help to characterize the protagonist throughout the series.

Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future.

Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay?

The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination.

Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim! <<less

Three roommates out for a walk find themselves in an anime world, where nothing is quite as it appears.... more>>

~You hear a whisper on the air...~

Three friends, three young men just going about their lives. They have no idea what awaits them.

Kelly Forester, a man obsessed with the tropes of anime and the cuteness of what living 2D would be like. Nathan Gravina, an ambitious friend full of energy but also fear of the softness inside his heart. Jamie Harrison, lazy but prickly like a bitter hedgehog about letting anyone really get close to him.

Mecchen House awaits for them, prepared. Watched over by many eyes, the girls of this special place are motherly presences, hissing haters of men, cold splintered slabs of ice, radiant voices that speak beyond their years, and mysteries they can only hope to unravel.

In the darkness and the light, in the calm and the storm, these three...these twelve...will discover just what this world and others have in store for them... d wdgg jhfm ylu qmjmjimq wcl ylu hqm

Echo thought he had the perfect fresh start. Offered reincarnation into a world of swords and magic. Able to grow stronger by going on adventures. One quest gone wrong changed all of that.

For 200 Years, The Demons of Dreadthorn Awaited Their Dark God's Return, But Instead of Greg-Theryx, Lord of the Void, They Summoned Me! Just Greg: My Accidental Life as a Demon Lord, a Misguided Crusade, and the High Priestess Who Holds the Key to My Fate.... more>>

Oh, you’re still here? You want the long version? Okay…

For over two hundred years, the demons of Dreadthorn have been waiting patiently for their dark god to return and lead them to victory over a cruel world that reviles them. But when the day of summoning finally arrived, they didn’t summon Greg-Theryx, Lord of the Void, God of Monsters and Beasts, Aspect of Destruction, Harbinger of Dread, Bringer of Retribution, and Reaper of Shadows.

No, they summoned me: Greg. Just… Greg.

Last I checked I wasn’t a dark god, though I seem to have been reincarnated into the body of one. Thankfully, the demons don’t seem to have caught on yet, but my new Generals are expecting me to lead their legions to victory. Imagine how surprised they’re going to be when they realize I’ve never held a sword and don’t know the first thing about magic.

It won’t be easy to keep the demons convinced I’m their god, but I’ll have to play along if I hope to survive. Worse yet, even if I manage to keep the demons from killing me, the Goddess of Light and her angels will surely try.

I don’t suppose they’d be willing to talk it out, would they?

* What to Expect: *
- Strong (but clueless) to stronger (and competent) protagonist.
- Slow burn, small harem romance with occasionally explicit chapters.
- Slow burn story in general, focus on character building and relationship development.
- Mixture of comedic and serious moments.
- Dual cultivation type of progression, though the MC works on building their strength by other means as well.
- Horny demons.

"It's nap time... Wait, no!" Theo says, fighting off a yawn.

"Being a farmer was supposed to be straightforward." Theo facepalms.

[Alert: The Abyssal Asparagus has grown taller... and it's looking down on you.]

"Size isn't everything, you know." Theo retorts, clearly offended.

This is no typical farming saga. It's a roller-coaster of survival, kingdom-building, power struggles, and hidden conspiracies, sprinkled with a dash of dark humor. Because in this world, every crop could be your last, and the line between good and evil is as thin as a blade's edge.

Landon was born forty years before the events in Sun and Moon in a slightly alternate timeline that takes place in the Alola region on the island of Melemele. His parents were both scientists studying the native Pokemon of the islands. When Landon was five, his parents took him on a trip to Aether Paradise, where he met Cosmog and bonded with it immediately. From then on, he always wanted to become a Pokemon trainer. When he turned ten, Landon finally got his chance to become a trainer, but in a freak accident, Landon was caught in a rock fall.

For the next 10 years, Landon would be trapped inside a coma, but there was more to the story then that. The location that Landon had been in turned out to be a top secret base for a special organization that has no name. The rock fall was caused by a tremor caused by temporal Gate being force shut after a strange metallic Pokemon tried to crawl though, but was pushed back. Before it was, it had scanned the area, and found Landon about to be killed, and sent a Nano Drone to deliver a special AI that what merge with the boy, and heal his body.

This would take time, and it had taken ten years of Landon laying in bed, but the Pokemon knew that this Trainer would one day be able to find it and free it. The AI would also give him special powers called a System that would be good for this boy because he was special, and he would be able to travel wormholes. And so, when Landon woke up from his coma, he had no idea what had happened, but he knew that he was changed.
