In a world... Where star-crossed lovers guarantee sales and novels lack all novelty... Comes a story so generic that it will appeal to everyone of every generation forever... The story of a ruggedly handsome man of indeterminate age, named Guy who meets an exquisitely beautiful recently-come-of-age woman, named Eve. It's love at first sight, but one of them has a secret... A secret so big that it will tear them apart forever... Or will it?
The world may never know, because this is not that book. This book is clever and will appeal to a specific audience. People who like witty humor and realistic characters. People who like a large dose of laughter in their sci-fi.
Wherein:
Liam Gatley is—was a normal, just-trying-to-get-by-with-as-little-effort-as-possible university student. But he’s just woken up from a birthday bender in a recruiting office, and before he can even figure out what’s happened, he’s rushed aboard the (in)famous ISS Titan to hunt down interstellar pirates as a proud—and completely expendable—member of the Imperial Space Corps. Suddenly it’s hard to imagine life being any worse . . .
It turns out Liam just needs a better imagination.
On his first day, Liam is shot, stabbed, crushed, electrocuted, asphyxiated, and drowned. It gets even worse when the Titan runs afoul of a telepathic mutant who turns the ship’s own crew against her. Now Liam’s talent at not-quite-dying might save the day, but he’ll still have to lose his mind to survive. And if he can manage that, he’ll have to battle an overzealous military commander whose ambition threatens the entire Interstellar Human Empire.
If he ever hopes to make it home again, Liam will have to risk everything to save the empire. On the bright side, he may just get the girl in the process.

Star-crossed (Dynasty: Book 1) by RiyaSamaddar
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Orion Scatterstar X is a highly intelligent boy of seventeen with peculiar natural green hair and oddly bright purple eyes... and he's on the run with his mother. The only problem...? He has no idea as to why it is this way. His only clue is that it's all somehow related to his absentee father who is as big of a enigma to him as are the peculiar, mostly illegal and sometimes downright appalling and borderline psychotic 'lessons' his mother keeps subjecting him to. He hides in plain sight by pretending to be normal or average with a different name and appearance in every new place they move to within just a few months as per his mother's rules but as he's gotten older, he's come to think about it all to be nothing more than his mother's paranoia as it's significantly becomes harder and harder to play this game. So, at the verge of turning eighteen and graduating, he finally decides to put his foot down and run far away from all this craziness so that he can finally be free and be who he truly is and have a normal life... like he's always wished. But as the saying goes, 'be careful what you wish for.' He soon finds that his mother's paranoia was not unreasonable. When an unexpected stranger shows up as a substitute teacher at his new school, his entire existence flips upside-down. Truths about who and what he really is, are finally out but now he has to navigate a treacherous and dangerous path where friendship and loyalty are illusions, good is bad and up is down to save himself and everyone else as a prince's life is never simple, especially during war. Not to mention a war against his very own psychotic paternal family. Amidst deception, being constantly hunted and discovering immeasurable power within himself, holding on to his humanity seems harder and harder for his already shaky sense of morals, making him lose bits of himself in the process. Can he survive his new reality unscathed or will it be his undoing?

Before reading this, I'd like you to think to yourselves if you're capable enough to comprehend the fact that this story will make you question your very existence. And no, this is not just another science fiction book with a complicated plot. It's a different, eye-opening story about what we all refer to as "life". This story might be based on a scientific theory, about the afterlife, but on it are weaved the magical adventures of a young astronaut, Heather Reynolds, who is lost in space. She will get to see the afterlife, and be given a mission which will lead her to the actual location of the Lost Atlantis. And beware, plot twists ahead... However, those of you who weren't satisfied by the above description, don't worry. This book is for everyone. Do you want Mystery? Do you want Science Fiction? Are you into Adventures? Maybe a little bit of Romance? It's all in there. Let's take a glance at the story: ~~~ "Let me in!" Heather screams despite the fact that her voice cannot be heard in space. The person on the inside approaches her in question. He goes for the door quickly, but when he recognizes her he stops. She knew her life was doomed. She knew that there was no going in the spaceship. He wouldn't open the door. In shock she lets loose, while being dragged into the abyss of the warm-hole, not knowing what she is going to encounter in there. ~~~ Do you want to know who the person on the inside is? Because trust me, it's more unpredictable than you think. But what is going to happen to Heather afterwards? There's only one way to find out...

*Completed* Ranked #1 in alienplanet in Jan 20 2020 Please, LISTEN TO ME!! I know you think I'm crazy and I know they told you I'm dangerous, but you have to just listen!! My people are dying! They are being killed, ruthlessly slaughtered by the millions!! I know exactly who is doing it too-but it doesn't make any sense. I don't understand why they are doing it. Please help me, help us!! To whoever gets this message, I can't do anything from here-please! I am begging you!! Please-just get me off this damn planet!! [END TRANSMISSION] ------------------- Earth is not alone in harboring life. The galaxies and universes have been opened, and all the intelligent beings residing in them have been connected and unified with each other. It has been over a million years since the Pentaverse, a cluster of five neighboring universes, was organized and unified. Now, hundreds of otherworldly species live in relative harmony with the one another. The unification was good for many species, but for some species, the change caused unexpected extinction. As a team of the Conservation of Species Committee investigates a mysterious decrease in the population of a robotic species, they stumble upon something that could potentially result in the destruction of the entire Pentaverse. This is not your average Wattpad story about how the 'bad boy meets the good girl'. This book is about a series of mysteries that begin to unfold as you read and travel through space with a group of unsuspecting aliens. This story will make you laugh, it will shock you, surprise you, and it will leave you hungry for more-all the way to the last word. Be aware, there are some adult themes in this book including drinking, swearing, love making, death, and murder. None of those topics are explored too deeply however, so I do not think it is appropriate to give this book a 'mature' rating. *********** @2020wattyawards

~~~~~{Book Three}~~~~~ "So if you both are Force Sensitive, does that mean Rue is too?" Esmere then asked. "Yes, I believe so, but why only Rue?" Ben asked in return. "Because, I've tried doing the things she does but it's no use. I'm a runt." "You're not a runt, don't ever call yourself that. Some people just start with their door open wider than others, so maybe you are and we'll just have to see over time." "Okay... I love you two. Don't ever change." Esmere hugged them tighter as if when he would let go he would lose them forever. "We won't. I promise." Eclypse whispered then smiled sadly, glancing between Ben and Esmere. It felt like a mistake... Telling them everything. But there's no going back now. Their perception of them has changed forever... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's been almost fifteen years since the defeat of the Final Order and on the planet Pillio lives Ben and Eclypse Solo with their children Aarue and Esmere who are oblivious to their dangerous heritage. Yet when they accidentally find the truth, they have to go on a journey to find themselves. Tags: -🏳️‍🌈 -Aarue with a lightsaber is legit the female impersonation of Kylo -I made Ben Solo a dilf... -And I sorta made Eclypse York a milf too... -Space Jam except it's Star Wars -Esmere and Aarue have Tanjiro and Nezuko vibes -Too many references to other fandoms(mostly Hamilton) that are definitely NOT subtle. -I SWEAR that if anyone tries to s3xual!ze Aarue's relationship with Ben (because he is her literal FATHER) then I am THROWING HANDZZZZ😃👍🏾 -After a few months of writing this book I finally realized that I accidentally made Esmere the main character (sorry not sorry, I love my bb boy😩💚) -Ben STILL speaks French, he will always be like: 🤌🏾Ō̶̬U̶̝͝I̸͍̾ ̷̼͠ ̵̯̽ ̵͌ͅǪ̶͌U̶͎͝I̷̞̅ ̶̻̅ ̴̝͝ ̶̧́B̶̒͜Ö̷͔́Ṅ̷̮J̶̗͊O̸̬͊Ȕ̸͍R̷̠͌🤌🏾
Max and the Universe - Book I by TheSpaceRings
23 parts Complete Mature
The multiverse theory states that there is a universe for every possible scenario, a number so large it's possibly infinite. Would that mean there's a universe where my book is real. 14 year old Max Carsley finds himself hanging in the delicate balance of being a normal teenager and learning how to rule a planet. He lives in a highly advanced interstellar civilization spanning light years, sharing it with 11 different intelligent bipedal humanoid alien species, including humans, with access to flying cars, wormhole portals, and the technology to traverse the stars. How can one find balance with this chaotic lifestyle? What are royalty really like behind closed doors? And most importantly... what secrets are the members of the galactic council hiding? Find out as Max, his family, and his friends discover things that not only lead him further down his path of fate, but help him discover more about himself and the universe. This is not your typical SciFi/Fantasy Novel. It's so much more. This story is a mix of teen drama and space politics. It's kind of a mess but like, so am I. Every chapter is important, so don't skip any! Is this book mature cause I like to swear? You be the judge. IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS IS A DRAFT!! THIS IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION OF THIS BOOK!! THE FINAL VERSION WILL HOPEFULLY BE ON STORE SHELVES CAUSE THAT'D BE SO COOL!! (Final version will include whatever tweaks are necessary to have all 4 books sync perfectly)

A parody... except it slowly gets less satirical as I get way too attached to the characters and turn the story into a shipping-fest ~~~~ "Why are you doing this?" I whispered. He slammed me against another locker. I could see anger, sadness, envy, happiness and lust in his teal green orbs. "Because you're mine." He smirked, gnashing his teeth against mine. ~~~~ Brynn Winters is a 17 year old good girl. She is sweeter than sugar. She is also sarcastic and quirky and innocent and naive and snarky and is a bookworm and not like other girls. She also has trauma to (barely) compensate for her lack of personality. She believes in love but she has never experienced any, until she met him. Ryder Daniels is a 18 year old bad boy. He is sweeter than sin. He is dark and mysterious and plays football (not shown in book). He smokes and drinks beer. He is a ladies' man and a player. He has walls around his heart and some dark secrets that is definitely not spoiled in the title. He does not believe in love. Brynn and Ryder are opposites. So what happens when they meet? He is not who she thinks he is. Will it end in disaster? Or will it end in love? Will it end in flames? Or will it end in a different kind of flame? As disasters come their way, will they choose love or not love? Will their secrets drive them apart? Or will they trust in each other? Join them on their journey of love. There will be love, annoying sluts, conversations that doesn't pass the Bechdel test, cliche tropes, glaring plot holes, subtly glaring plot holes, socialism, orbs, humor, secondhand embarrassment and the tiniest hints of homoeroticism. ~~~~ Reviews (aka criticisms that I'm too lazy to correct): "From a horribly done parody to horribly done leftist propaganda." "Brynn and Ryder are the most frustrating couple I've ever read." "Where humor" "You can't use parody as an excuse for bad writing, you know."

"Only in the darkness can you see stars." - It has been six years since Ben Solo succumbed to his fate and betrayed the Jedi Order after being seduced by the Dark Side. With the aid of his immense power, the First Order has cast a shadow over the galaxy reminiscent of the Empire. Former padawan Lyra Escara has been put into hiding and forced to change her identity, the once-honorable title of Jedi now one that promised a deadly target on her back. As a handmaiden to the queen reigning over Naboo, she leads the quiet life of a protector while she anxiously awaits a call from the Resistance, a beckoning to make her valiant return to the fight where she could finally avenge her slaughtered friends and family, and give the galaxy hope. But when a trade deal goes astray and the First Order abducts the queen and a handful of her maidens to use as a bartering chip to force their terms, Lyra finds herself a prisoner on their lead ship. Knowing she must hide her force sensitivity to protect her life as well as her queen's, the last thing she expects is to be reunited with an old friend... one she thought had died six years ago, taking her heart with him. Sensing conflict in him, Lyra's hope flares upon learning that the feared Kylo Ren isn't too far gone just yet. Facing unsettled conflict, old wounds and the constant war of good and evil raging around them, could Lyra's boundless love and determination be the spark that will save Ben Solo from himself, or will she destroy herself trying to be the hero when it matters most? - Book Two (THIS IS THE SEQUEL TO COVET, IF YOU HAVEN'T YET YOU MUST READ BEFORE YOU CAN READ THIS STORY)
