Kira was angered by this accusation. "Why say it was me who started this?" "Dueling has always been like this!" It's not his fault. Who let him play Yu-Gi-OH!

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! Character driven, before plot! 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. ──── ୨୧ ──── There are occasional illustrations littered throughout the novel drawn by me (slowly commissioning to get others done), usually found in the comments! !!CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)

The words escape the pages of a popular webnovel, and the peaceful everyday has been corrupted in calamity. In simpler words, there's a damn apocalypse occurring. And in a particular building, overlooking the chaotic streets, two idiots flirt. "Do you want to rebel against your destiny?" the voice is firm and confident in its careless allure, promising a deal among the rubbles of this disaster. The man's lips curves dangerously, and he tilts his chin. "Then I'm in your hands, Joker." *** One sentence summary: In which an apocalypse has begun, and a certain delinquent 'accidentally' seduces his boss. Even shorter summary: deadly insulting machine MC x face looks good to punch (lovingly) ML

I had it all. Money. Power. Influence. People feared my name, and I could have anything I desired. Except happiness. Perhaps it was my mind, too sharp for a dull, predetermined world. Perhaps it was the urges I never could have realized due to society being as it is. Either way, boredom consumed me. My whole being. So, I ended it. Pills. Whiskey. Darkness. But death was not my end. It was my invitation. A new world. A new path. A cultivation that feeds on fear itself. This new beginning made me realize what true happiness really is... Watching others tremble. If you like my work, you can support me on my Patreon - Gravemind_Author

A young man, weighed down by silence and the ache of feeling unseen, sits alone on what he believes will be his final night. The world outside moves on, indifferent but in the stillness of his room, a quiet whisper stirs. Not of despair, but of words. Words that have waited too long to be heard. He picks up his notebook one last time not to say goodbye, but to begin. What starts as a farewell becomes something else entirely this story is a raw and tender record of loneliness, longing, and the fragile, flickering wish to matter. With each sentence, he reaches not for an ending, but for a witness. A connection. Maybe even a reason. He doesn’t promise healing. He doesn’t pretend the pain is gone. But if there’s even the smallest chance that being alive could still hold something meaningful if someone, somewhere, might read his truth and feel less alone too then he’ll try. Not perfectly, not bravely, but honestly. And with that honesty, he takes his first trembling step back toward the light. Warning:Emotional Distress,Suicidal, Mental Confusion

On his sixteenth birthday, Adam Varen got the Bazaar. A system that sells abilities, drops you into random worlds, and doesn't care if you come back. Everyone gets the same deal. But Adam has something nobody else does: he remembers his past life. Every anime. Every movie. Every world the Bazaar is about to throw him into. He knows how they end. He knows who dies and why. He knows exactly which powers to buy and which worlds to fear. The knowledge is an edge. It is not a guarantee. Because the worlds aren't stories anymore. They hit back. The people in them are real, and the plot doesn't wait for him to be ready. One wrong call and the Bazaar doesn't send a rescue team. It just stops paying out. Twenty-five years ago, something came through from the other side. It killed three hundred thousand people in a week. Humanity built academies, trained Explorers, and started fighting back. Adam is one of them — but he's playing a longer game than anyone knows. That part costs blood. Updates daily. No harem. Smart MC who bleeds.
