If you're looking for a professionally polished epic, this might not be for you. This light novel is my journey in learning how to write a story I've always wanted to read.
I'm writing about the things I love: a slow-paced adventure, a world that feels vast and lived-in, and characters who are just people trying to find their way. The main character, Nora, isn't a chosen hero; he's a survivor who just wants to retire, but the world won't let him.
The story starts at a sprint but quickly finds its deliberate, exploratory rhythm. If you're seeking constant, quick action, this may disappoint. But if you enjoy the thrill of discovery, the quiet moments between characters, and action that simmers until it boils over, then you might have found your next read.
This is for anyone looking for something new. Welcome.

Never in my life did I ever think I'd be reincarnated. As far as I'm aware, being able to reincarnate means being good in your previous life, and being given a chance to restart your life anew. Although I don't consider myself particularly good, I'm not bad either. I simply existed somewhere in between. Regardless, I never expected to wake up inside a fantasy novel! And not just any novel, but a "dark romance", as my sister would call it. The kind with an obsessive male lead willing to go to any lengths to protect his delicate, soft-spoken heroine. Even if it meant murder. I had read the story before, and yes, it was undeniably cliché. But now, I find myself trapped within said story, cast as the villain, destined to meet my end at the hands of the possessive, and dangerously unhinged male lead. I can't tell if this world despises me or if it's offering me a twisted kind of opportunity. But one thing is for certain: I have to survive. And I need to find a way out.

Trapped In A 18+ Reverse Harem Game
[ONGOING] I was just an ordinary girl, a broke college student hustling at a convenience store to pay for my nursing degree. One night, after clocking out from my glamorous life of stocking instant noodles, I got hit by a truck. My first thought? Finally. I could fulfill my dream of becoming the ultimate, iconic villainess. And wouldn't you know it, dreams do come true. I woke up as Rosalia Salvatore. The Mafia Princess. The Evil Bitch. The Crazy Villainess. From the reverse harem game "Trapped By My Captors", yes, that 18+ NSFW disaster with the kinkiest good ending and the bloodiest bad ending imaginable. Bloody hell, I didn't get isekai'd into a fluffy noble high school romance. No. I got yeeted into a dark mafia thirst-trap simulator. But guess what? I'm not your easy, doe-eyed heroine. If any of these "love interests" think they can kill me, I'll bite their heads off. Literally. Buckle up, boys. My wrath comes in heels, and it kicks hard. _______________________________________________________ Original Story A Transmigration Dark Romantic Comedy Vote for more chapters!!!

Fairy Tail: Wild Card [Male Reader]
You are from our Earth, and of course you love the story Fairy Tail. But you've awoken in the fictional kingdom of Fiore, barely able to remember anything from your previous life in the "real world." You soon discover that you have the ability to mimic other wizards' magic, and are taken in by a certain famous wizard guild. Soon after beginning your training, you find yourself trying to understand your abilities, new threats, and your own feelings towards your fellow guild mates. Fairy Tail is so much more than a story to you now, how will you make this new life your own? The story has a somewhat heavy focus on "side characters" for a dozen chapters or so; please be patient! 🥺 Your favorites will have their time to shine! Let me know in the author's notes and feedback chapters who you want to see! Definitely a drama oriented story with some action/violence. It's not gorey, but it gets somewhat graphic, so be warned. #1 in FairyTail - 3/22/2024 #1 in WendyMarvell - 7/18/22 #1 in NaLi - 7/18/22 #1 in LevyMcGarden - 10/20/23 #3 in ErzaScarlet - 9/30/25Complete

Reincarnated As The Villainess Of An 18+ Webnovel
As I was about to leave his arms hugged me tightly from the back. He breathed on my neck roughly as if craving for me like a madman. "You can't leave after making me like this!" He growled. "I'll leave when I want to" I answered calmly so as to not awaken the beast inside him. But in response he only hugged my body tighter like I was the most precious jewel in the world. "I can't do that! I don't know what I'll do myself if you abandon me right now! I go crazy when I don't see you even for a few hours and you want me to let you go??" I was at a loss of words.

Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!)
