Trapped in the quagmire of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe and his future fundamentally altered by the actions of the powers that be, Chenge can either run away and spend the rest of his life running, or he can turn around and face the consequences. His mind races and the breathing intensify. His father's fate is squarely on his shoulders. Not only that. What would happen to his family? What would become of his brother Tobias and his sister Chido? He has to do it. There is no option. He curses. He picks up his self and with tears bathing his face, starts on the journey to Msasa, with resolve. Whatever happens doesn't matter anymore, he thinks. After all, is there anything to live for in this battered country ...? 

In this completed novel I tell the story of a generation of young people who find themselves caught up in the politics of their time, by default and by extension. Having grown up in Zimbabwe and having experienced some of these events first hand, I weave these into a tale of struggle, love, fate and revenge.

Enjoy!

As tragedy befalls on Zhan Yu , he soon finds himself transmigrated into a novel world as a character. To his disappointment, he became the villain who obsessively chased after the male protagonist and was in love while scheming to tear apart his relationship with his beloved (but male protagonist was straight). To avoid his death route, Zhan Yu carefully avoided the male and female protagonists at every turn. Instead, he went off on his own to enjoy life. But somewhere along the way, he made a mistake- the male protagonist took notice of him! Zhan Yu's eyes teared up as he was being kissed in Lu Bai's arms. 'No! This wasn't in the plot! What just happened?!!! ' Wasn't the male protagonist straight?!!! To be continued.... To get to know what happened Let's read .... .... NOTICE ------ Hi, How are you? Hope you are well.

The ALTERNATIVE World Of Gumball by SpidermanBeyond2099
49 parts Ongoing
{Note: ANIME/HUMAN VER!!!} (And yes most of the characters are in Mike Inel's style, so credits to him) The Amazing World of Gumball, or should I say.. The ALTERNATIVE World of Gumball, is a novel that's been planned ever since 2021. So, the major part of this "novel" is simple, 1. What if the void conflict ended differently? (cause I didn't like the cannon ending) And 2. What if gumball wasn't the eldest sibling? (Hah.. a spoiler.. nvm) and the person who will replace gumball as the eldest sibling is a dude that came up in my imagination named "Clark" (a.k.a Clark Watterson a.k.a the person who will make the most ridiculously gory threats known to man just to shut gumball the f#ck up) And surprisingly.. this chapter has 219, no 230-SIX CHAPTERS and why? Cause there are 6 volumes in total inside this novel, yes you heard me right V O L U M E S (and that's probably gonna be my final decision on the making of this novel) And yes I know it's long, but thankfully, just like in the og show, each chapter has one random plot, so if you're getting bored in a specific chapter.. SKIP IT (There will be continuations tho so.. DOUBLE SCROLL, you'll know it's a continuation when the chapter title has the [continuation] part in it) And of course since this is tawog anyways.. ✨references✨ (note: tho some chapters here are episodes mainly based from original episodes, so credits to TAWOG for the add-ups) This would also have multiple OC's like Clark, cause.. why not? Btw I don't own the canon show or anything, the characters (except for the OC's/own-character) or even the references, and if you see some images in my story, those aren't mine aswell but anyways hope you guys get content!.. Note: some future chapters are... Unfriendly. TIMELINE: 2014-2016 (yes, I know there will be references or mentions about stuff that takes place in the future, but hey, it's TAWOG, nothing makes sense.)

But seriously, this book contains a lot of toxic stuff so if you're going to read it just be aware. Also I wrote this when I was like 12 soooo yikes but that also means I was writing about things that I had no real knowledge of.

Second chances! [YiZhan FanFiction]✔️ by einfach_Eileen
28 parts Complete Mature
A good friend asked me to write a story in which some aspects of his life appear. Meaning, although this is a fan fiction and has nothing to do with the reality of Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, but some things in this story really happened to someone close to me. Of course, even if everything has been changed a little bit by me. In this story: Xiao Zhan, single father of a 5 year old girl, had gone through a bad and difficult time and was happy when he finally got a chance to change his life. A new city, a new job. He was looking forward to working as a personal assistant and hoped to be able to catch up with his daughter soon. Who was still living with her grandparents. However, he would never have thought how hard the work with his new, two years younger boss Wang Yibo would be. His new boss seemed to hate him from the beginning and didn't leave out any possibility to finish Zhan. No matter what Zhan did, nothing seemed to be right and that from the very first day. Months went by and it just didn't get better. Wang Yibo, who was very interested in Xiao Zhan after seeing his application and reading the words "second chance", was looking forward to working with his new personal assistant. If there wouldn't have been his ex-boyfriend telling him that his new assistant would flirt with everything and everyone in the company. And him, too. Yibo, who feels something like jealousy for the first time, takes his frustration, anger and resentment out on Zhan. Only later does he realize that he has stepped into the trap of his ex-boyfriend. Will Yibo manage to convince Zhan that he is really sorry? And can Zhan, Yibo and especially himself get a second chance?
