StarDust: Beyond the Collapse

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.

The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?
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!!!

The Obsessive Villainess Vol. 1 ✔
"Don't touch that man." "Why not?" "He has a beast guarding him." I am that beast; Nora. I woke up as the villain of this book, destined to die after going crazy due to my love for the main lead. "I spent my last life wanting to die, and now that I've decided to survive, this world is after me?" No. I won't die such a pathetic death. I will survive this time. No matter what. But first, I need to survive these main leads. One won't leave me alone; the other keeps fighting with me; another is destined to kill me... Even my superpowers are so weak! Surviving in a world that hates me... Is kinda difficult. *** I got tired of reading about 'special' and 'pure-hearted' heroines so I decided to write about a character I could relate to. Writing gets better after first few chapters. [#1 Angst] [#1 Obsession] [#2 Yandere] [#1 Villain] [#1 Antagonist] [#1 Superpowers]Lengkap

The Child of No Nation
This story is based on historical facts and author's imagination. Do not mistake the facts as reality. Enjoy! Genre & Tone: Dark, emotional, and introspective but with glimpses of hope. It leans toward a slow-burning coming-of-age story with fantasy/adventure elements. The kid's journey has weight-he's not just adventuring, he's surviving, learning, and finding identity. The tone balances tension, subtle sadness, and moments of warmth. Theme: Identity, survival, and legacy. It's about someone growing up without a clear place in the world ("No Nation"), navigating trauma, and slowly discovering purpose. At its core, it's a story of resilience and self-discovery. Plot Style: Episodic, with character-focused arcs. The story builds gradually-the ending scene where he tells a story to younger kids and finally reveals his name as Isaac is symbolic. It's about him claiming his own identity and leaving a mark on others, showing how he's grown from an anonymous, possibly lonely child into someone who inspires or connects with others. Characterization: Isaac is complex-he has a vulnerable, "lost" side, but also a curious, clever, and ultimately bright/bubbly side that occasionally peeks through. His personality develops through interactions with the world, and the story slowly reveals his internal growth. Atmosphere: Think bittersweet and mysterious, sometimes tense or lonely, with soft moments of light and warmth to contrast the darkness. The ending is cathartic-a subtle but satisfying reveal of who he truly is.Lengkap
I Woke Up Engaged To A Mafia Don
[ONGOING] Note to self: Next time you die, try not to reincarnate as the most hated woman in the story.

Kieran Valente expects me to play the desperate bride, but I'm rewriting the script. Step one? Find an escape hatch. Step two? His name is Luca Donovan. By "falling" for the charismatic and dangerous Luca, I'm giving Kieran the perfect excuse to call off our wedding. It's a flawless plan... until the lines between fake and real start to blur. Now, I'm caught between a fiancé who is becoming dangerously obsessed with his "unfaithful" bride and a fake lover who might be just as lethal as the man I'm running from. Survival was the goal, but in this world, love is the deadliest weapon of all. [Hey guys! Please add it to your library/reading list so you don't miss the updates!

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.

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 - 9/30/25

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. 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!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)Lengkap
