Cosmic Sentinel: a SCANT few by Reinventor

Abducted. Modified. Trapped aboard a dying alien ship. And he's the only one who can fly it. Cyrus finally worked up the nerve to leave his apartment... only to wake up light-years from Earth, on an ancient, half-dead starship filled with foul-mouthed Goblins who are just as confused-and just as kidnapped-as he is. The ship, known as the Cosmic Sentinel, has been dormant for thousands of years. Its systems are failing. Its original crew is long gone. And in a desperate bid to survive, it floods its new passengers with the SCANT-microscopic nanites that heal, enhance, and in Cyrus's case... change everything. He doesn't just communicate with the ship-he begins to merge with it. As alien threats gather and the clock ticks down, Cyrus is thrust into the role of reluctant pilot. But flying the ship means surrendering more of himself each time. And survival? That's not just about fixing engines-it's about earning trust, making impossible choices, and building a crew out of chaos. Can a human afraid to leave home become the heart of a starship? Can a pack of misfits become something more than passengers? Fans of The Expanse, Mass Effect, and Dungeon Crawler Carl will love this fast-paced, emotional sci-fi epic packed with sharp banter, big ideas, and unforgettable characters. Book One of the Cosmic Sentinel series.

草莓海盗的日记 by jiulio

To fulfill her late brother's wish, an ordinary girl named Reina is determined to board the most mysterious pirate ship in the galaxy - the Strawberry. After countless twists of fate, she finally sneaks aboard... only to realize she may have made the biggest mistake of her life. The ship's legendary captain isn't some noble rogue or dashing hero, but a sharp-tongued, gorgeous narcissist who insists on calling her "Hamster." He drives her mad, makes her cry, and somehow - against her will - keeps saving her life. And what about the ship itself? Wasn't the Strawberry supposed to be the most feared and enigmatic vessel in the universe? Then why does it look like a museum relic held together by rust, patchwork metal, and sheer bad luck? As Reina adjusts to life among misfit space pirates, she uncovers secrets buried deep within the ship's ancient core - a hidden device that could rewrite the laws of the galaxy, and perhaps... bring back what she's lost. But when the truth behind her brother's wish begins to surface, and the Strawberry's final voyage veers off its destined course, Reina must face a painful question: Can she still find happiness... once all the illusions fade?

Shadows over Menkalinan by MLListen

Kai Randal wants nothing more than to fly quietly, stay neutral, and keep his apprentice Parri out of trouble. But when a covert job in the Menkalinan system exposes them to a deadly secret-one older than any star chart-their quiet life fractures in an instant. A catastrophic test flight leaves dozens dead and one brilliant commander, Shreya Nova, desperate for the truth behind her husband's disappearance. Pulled together by disaster and circumstance, the three uncover evidence that the tragedy was no accident, and that someone powerful is willing to kill to keep the secret buried. Hunted, cornered, and caught between rival powers, Kai must rely on instincts honed over a lifetime in the cockpit, while Parri confronts dangers far beyond any training simulation. Shreya, armed with nothing but a broken heart and razor intelligence, finds herself caught in a conspiracy that could shift the balance between empires. The shadows gathering over Menkalinan are deep, and the truth hiding within them is older and far more dangerous than anyone imagined. The mission was supposed to be simple. Instead, it awakened something no one was prepared to face.
