Robot love - B0yfr13nd by DREAM_SEARCH_REPEAT

In the near future, a lonely girl is saved from imminent rape by a worker robot. What begins as a programmed act of protection slowly transforms into a relationship as absurd as it is necessary. He was not designed to take care of anyone. She never wanted to be cared for. But when two broken creatures cross paths, a new logic begins to be born: one that is not written in manuals, but in glances, silences and shared coffees. Between screams, forced cleanliness and cigarettes thrown in the trash, something akin to love breaks through, without asking permission. Can a machine teach a human to love itself? And what happens when that machine begins to desire, against all logic, to stay? ⚠️ This story contains explicit language, violence, sensitive topics such as abuse, depression and suicide.

The Love Equation by kaistories_

📖 Genre: Romance | YA | Academic Rivals-to-Lovers 🔬 Love is just science. Or so she thought. 🎨 Solenne Veyra believes love is nothing more than a series of chemical reactions-a formula waiting to be solved. Zephyr Caelum, on the other hand, sees love as unpredictable magic, something that can't be explained by logic. When their psychology professor forces them to pair up for a semester-long experiment on love, they're thrown into a battle of heart vs. mind. The rules? Follow a series of tests designed to prove whether love is real or just science at work. The problem? The closer they get, the harder it becomes to separate the experiment from reality. As they go through intimate questions, heartbeat synchronization, and even a fake-dating challenge, Solenne starts noticing unexpected variables-like the way Zephyr looks at her, the warmth of his touch, and the way her heart races in ways she can't explain. But when she uncovers a hidden truth about the experiment-one that might prove everything was manipulated from the start-Solenne is forced to ask herself: Was it all just science? Or was it love all along?

Kadota (Love Trilogy) by Lisa_Evette

In the quiet desert village of Dey, living among the sand dunes and mirages, existed an anomaly - me. I was different, born without the ability to read, write or keep long memories. My scientist father hailed my uniqueness as a miracle, but my life was far from ordinary. To the village, I was just an oddity, a walking puzzle with missing pieces. My only solace was my best friend, always standing by me, his unspoken love for me etched in his affectionate gaze. We lived under a cruel regime with a population no more than a hundred. Every year, one of us would be chosen on the Counting Day, a ceremonious banishing ritual, to become yet another outcast to the floating prison island far off in the ocean - our village's dreaded version of population control. Our past criminals, defiant to government, and more terrifyingly, our loved ones gone missing, were thought to inhabit that island, their fate, a terrifying enigma. This year, as the Counting Day approached unrelentingly, and my loved one's life rested on borrowed time, I made a decision. I volunteered to be casted out. It was my turn to face the unknown with a hidden purpose - to locate my lost father who was sent there years ago.
