Readers, please be advised this is an academic book, so subjects treated here might be complicated. Academic researchers and students, please realize this book has an informal approach, so several important concepts will be mixed with mannerisms characteristic of a classroom environment.

No Body Minds, Or: Transmigrating Into the Villain but He's Still There!!!
Mars was finally having a good mental health streak when he choked on lo mein and died. At least The System is there to give him a second chance. Unfortunately, many transmigration novels involve a system glitch, and this one is no exception. Rather than hopping into the mind of the hero's best friend, like he intended, or as a fish, which would at least be funny, he's stuck in the body of the story's main villain. Worse, the original villain is there with him! And fully aware! And in complete control! Also, it becomes super gay so stay tuned for that. TW: Main character has depression. Story will tackle suicide. There will be no graphic depiction of any suicidal acts. other TWs: Graphic descriptions of violence and torture, lack of autonomy, body dysmorphia, unethical experiments, profanity, explicit depictions of sex (eventually) pls comment if there are any TWs I missed
As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
