"Why is it so hard to find shows or books similar to Girlboss? I want one with a female lead as the only main character, figuring her life out and actually making it happen. One that feels real, you know? I like living in the fantasy world as much as the next person but sometimes I read to be motivated. I can't keep watching reruns of Girlboss every time I need to find an answer," Aubrey sighed as her finger trails the bookshelf.
"Maybe you're not manifesting it hard enough," said her friend, Rose.
Aubrey looked over to see her friend's head buried in a book, certain she barely heard a word Aubrey said because that's her go-to response whenever Aubrey's whining.
"Yeah...maybe."
"Or maybe you should write your own." Aubrey didn't recall visiting the bookstore with a third-party. She turned around to see who was eavesdropping on her one-way conversation only to find no one in sight.
"Huh. Weird," she whispered to herself as she exited the store empty-handed once again with Rose quietly trailing behind her.
Aubrey hadn't realized it yet but she should've written her own book.
About how she had everything yet nothing figured out.
How she loved yet hated life.
How she was successful yet a failure in many ways.
How she'd gotten everything she'd ever wanted yet lost everything she'd ever had.
But she still found a reason to live.
To laugh and smile every chance she got.
To appreciate everything.
Aubrey spent years searching for books to inspire her life, yet it never crossed her mind that she was the book herself.

The Protagonists
"Every fiction book that has ever been created occurs in the same universe. While knights are fighting dragons, the next vampire phenomenon is being played out. This world is beautiful as it swirls with possibility and everyone's fantasy comes to life. But it is far from good. Corruption reigns as governments vie for representation in the books being published upstairs, in your world. Our lives do not matter. Our thoughts and feelings are dirt for the sake of entertainment. I myself have been whittled down to the "damsel in distress" archetype and it has cost me dearly. Society is a mess and anyone who speaks out is immediately silenced." Those are the words of Paige Burns, just another character in our books. She is stuck in a boarding school until she meets a witty, outspoken girl who brings with her a book written by someone who has escaped their horrid society, which, by the way, has some shocking similarities to our own. They break the book's code and with two stalkers and me, they embark on a journey to break free of a society they fear they can no longer fix. Throughout the journey, I recorded every conversation, every incident, every thought, and every last fear. And here it is.Complete

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia Part 2
"Why are my hands getting warmer?" As far as Alicia was concerned, she was the daughter of a rich businessman attending high school. Then, she feels off and at the same time, she's not. One week later, her best friend brought her to another world(s). This is Alicia Bell's tale. --- Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a multiple worlds and protagonists isekai web novel series about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and call themselves 'Court Wizards'. They embark on many worlds in the mission to make them better places whether it'd be covertly in the shadows or out in the open working together with the many kinds of people living there all while having an adventure unlike any other. These are their stories. Basically, it's isekai to MULTIPLE worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like JoJo. --- Note: A bug was triggered which caused this book to be split into two. Check my profile for both parts. --- 2nd place winner in the Star Gazing Awards fantasy category in 2020. --- Cross-posted in WordPress, RoyalRoad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu.Complete

Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

The Outcast
Abel was a very...strange individual. She lacked every bit of social skill and never knew how to properly take charge of a situation. In short, she was awkward. No one could blame her, she didn't know what it meant to be normal. She was different from everyone else that was made clear before she could even comprehend it herself. Having no friends, no family...nothing but the clothes on her back and the thoughts in her head. That didn't stop her though, she was strong willed and that's what kept her going all these years. It was the only thing that kept her alive. Her life gradually changes when she gets an opportunity to work as a bodyguard for the royal family. Elizabeth Gallomour, on the other hand was the complete opposite. A bundle of joy is what she was normally described as.

She was the only heir to the Gallomour throne and was was due to take over said throne after marriage. Elizabeth's 'pitch perfect ' life takes a drastic turn when she meets the awkward yet somehow fascinating bodyguard. A whirl of unfortunate events has the two in a frenzy as both their lives take a turn for the worst, or for the better? Read to find out.
