City of Desire

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines. As a small village’s hunter, Liam was unaware of the consequences of that legendary battle. His sole goal was to become a cultivator to gain the strength and resources he needed to avenge his family. Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

After finishing the available episodes of Hunter x Hunter, he went to sleep frustrated by the ending. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer on Earth. Not as Gon. Not as Killua. Not as a genius, a prodigy, or anyone destined for greatness. But as Tonpa — a failed examinee, a despised name, a man remembered only for crushing rookies because he could never become anything more. He arrived only moments before the Hunter Exam began. In a world he only partly knew, wearing a body never meant to survive, his future should have been simple: fade into failure… or die forgotten. But the moment Tonpa stopped acting like Tonpa, the story itself began to change. And once the story changes, who can say what survives with it?

Uma Musume: The Dark Trainer

Cedric Hale was dying in a sterile hospital bed until he woke up beneath the iron-grey skies of the North, wearing the skin of a Dúnedain Ranger and speaking Sindarin as if it were his mother tongue. Transmigrated into the body of Halbarad’s kinsman just as the War of the Ring ignites, he carries the "Morgul Pact"—a parasitic system that harvests the essence of betrayal and despair to forge a "Crown of Ash and Shadow." While he rides with Aragorn and the Grey Company, the system urges him to convert genuine bonds into "teeth" for his dark crown, granting him the supernatural ability to see the "Kinslayer’s Insight" in every ally. Now, as the fleet sails toward the burning fires of Minas Tirith, Cedric must decide if he will become a rival to the Witch-king or use the "Ranger’s Last Choice" to shatter his own dark divinity for a world that may never thank him.
