Based on the beloved otome game, 'Nocturne of Nightmares: Reverb' follows a young woman whose childhood has always been a blur. No matter how hard she tries, she can't quite remember it. As it turns out, she is not the only one.
One fateful night, Ziya and five others are transported to a dark, eerie world--a realm of nightmares and monsters, where the very memories they cannot recall are their only hopes of escape. Can this band of strangers uncover their pasts and how it connects them in time to survive the Nightmare?
What happens when some memories are better left forgotten?

No matter how hard she tried, she could never quite remember it. One day, after falling into a deep sleep, she wakes up terrified in a dark, creepy world. But she's not alone. She finds herself trapped in this nightmare world along with four guys and three girls. Strangers to her, yet they all seem vaguely familiar somehow. Who are these people? And why does Leila's heart hurt so badly when she looks at them? Licht in particular?

Even the monster seems to be suffering. What could this mean? They run for their lives scared and confused. Before they can unravel these mysteries, they wake up in a cold sweat, only for the cycle to repeat itself every night after right when the clock strikes ten and the bell chimes.

Sheets, Smiles & Second Chances
She didn't expect to fall in love again-especially not with someone who still carried the weight of his past like it was stitched into his shadow. He's the type who hides his warmth beneath layers of sarcasm and silence, but somehow, with her, it all unravels. What started with quiet reunions, awkward moments, and old wounds slowly turned into laughter in the kitchen, late-night talks, and shared dreams under the same roof. She's a girl who loves otome games and research, and he's the guy who never thought he'd be someone's safe place. Through dogs interrupting cuddles, found letters, and long car rides with unsaid things-something soft and real blooms between them. It's about healing in your own timing, loving with intention, and building a future even when you're both a little broken. Not every love story has fireworks-but this one has quiet mornings, genuine effort, and the kind of hugs that feel like home. This is a story for anyone who believes love should feel safe, earned, and a little bit magical. STORY WILL END AT OCTOBER 21, 2025 !!! - STORY COMPLETE - - STORY COMPLETE - twice for emphasis author notes -the arrangement of the chapters are correct but the chapter numbering is incorrect so don't mind the chapter numbers thankiesComplete

Born to Be a Pacifist, Forced to Be a Villainess [Otome Isekai]
Mira, an avid player of otome games, suddenly finds herself in the world of the otome game she's just finished. As if that on its own isn't bad enough, she's become the game's villainess, Blythe Ridge, destined for execution once the heroine attains the good ending of whichever love interest she chooses. As a connoisseur of isekai web novels, she's convinced that all she needs to do to escape from certain death is to turn over a new leaf and stop bullying Daisy Willoughby, the heroine of the otome game. Easy peasy. Unfortunately for her, she soon finds out that she has no say in the matter-her body moves of its own will whenever certain game events have to take place. Everyone around her is bemused by her frenzied scrambling to claim that all her malicious actions, and even some of her speech, are a complete and total accident. Mira--no, it's Blythe now--just wants to escape from the 'villainess' label to keep on living! ----------------------------------- "Born to be a pacifist, forced to be a villainess. Such is the story of my life!" "What in the world are you talking about?"

It doesn't help that you felt some kind of force whispering to you to kill him in order to prove your love. So, you did. Strangely, the world seemed to be against him dying, because you found time kept repeating itself each time he died. You kept murdering him until a sudden epiphany dawned on you, as if you had broken away from the force controlling you. You were a character in a game-a villain who would always kill the protagonist. However, as if the developers knew you were no longer controllable, they replaced you so the boy you were obsessed with would still die and time would never move forward. Hence, you took it upon yourself to protect him. But why does the protagonist seem to be acting strange?Complete

Arise
Life is weird, Elizabeth Wellfringer thought to herself. She had just turned 33, going to work on her birthday, when she died and found herself surrounded by inky blackness before floating in front of a blinding iridescent light. She knew who it was, she could feel it in her very soul. God spoke to her, she had a choice to enter into rest eternal or a chance at rebirth into a world at random, but to live again she would go through hard ships worst then she has ever known. Her life was unsatisfactory though, she wanted more from it. She had been plain, boring, normal. Work, home, eat, anime, read, be antisocial. That was her life for many years. She wanted to start anew. Now being reborn, her new name was Namari. She didn't know her last name and had awoken in a filthy ally way with no memory from her life there. She was filthy and wounded, not only that but there were monsters everywhere. She barely remembers that she died and was reborn to another world. Had trouble recalling much, probably because of the injuries on her head, but the monsters before her were familiar. No one could see them though and she briefly wondered if she was crazy, delusional... Welcome to the world of Jujutsu. This is an Itadori Yuji x reader x Ryomen Sukuna fanfic! This is going to be part of a series of fanfiction about a person being Isekai'd/Reborn into an anime. I have many I want to write from Naruto, to One Piece, to JJK etc. Each can be read, once created, by its self! Each book is a book where the person was reborn into that world instead.
Otome Game: I, The Heroine Will Be Your Savior! (GL)
A streamer who had thousands of fans in Japan, who loved otome games, reviews them posting online and making a living out of streaming. One day one of her fans sent her a very horrible rated otome game but since she was curious and it was her passion to rate every otome game that ever existed, she downloaded it and played it for the whole day. "What the heck?! All the love interests are horrible on this game?!" The production company who made the game, [Love Lily Blossom Otome Game]. Such a long name by the way, made all the love interest have some sort of distorted personality and even if the heroine does end up with one of them, she'll be either locked in the love interest's mansion, exiled, or will be the love interest's slave?! Only the villainess was the only sensible one but even she got the worst ending too for being engaged with the crown prince- and dying at every route she's on. "The author of this game is... psychotic. Why invest a Millions of Yen in a game like this? I wish I could save the Villainess myself." One day, she suddenly dies and realizes she's not in her own body anymore. She was being pinned down by the Villainess in the wall proceeding to threaten her. "If you don't leave the crown prince alone. I'll have no choice but to use other ways to shut you up." she says coldly, glaring at the cowering girl. Well that was the Villainess thought but the former streamer was just so confused and excited she couldn't help but shout- "I-I'm the Heroine of Love Lily Bloom?!" The Villainess looked at her weirdly once the Heroine was eyed leveled with her gaze. Those pupils dilated and seemed to have formed heart shapes irises. "You-! I'm going to save you!"

Reincarnated as the Fated Villain
COMPLETED | VOLUME ONE | It began as the usual flow for a reincarnated story...

But slowly... the web of fate spun into a vast tale of an adventure for the young clever Aerra in her journey to a realm where darkness and light elemental magus exists and her long golden sheltered life as a Duke's daughter is but a flawed facade. The darkness that lurks within her... the beckoning shadows... forged alliances and deceptions... and an ability that she never thought could touch the span of time. Join her in her quest TO DISCOVER the truth on what lies beyond the centennial rituals in summoning a Priestess; choosing a Familiar; and her inescapable destiny as the fated Fallen one.
