Roneet Joshi has always felt... out of place. Quiet. Awkward. Invisible. Growing up, he found solace in video games-where skill mattered more than social status, and friends were only a click away. But when reality keeps knocking, even the safest escape can't hold him forever.

College is supposed to be a fresh start, a chance to belong, to finally be someone worth noticing. But Roneet quickly learns that the real world isn't any easier than the games he left behind. Bullies, rivals, and classmates who seem to have it all figured out surround him. And then there's her-Kiara-brilliant, beautiful, and everything he feels he's not.

From his past of loneliness and failed friendships to the chaos of his first college days, Roneet must navigate the challenges of growing up, finding his place, and discovering what it truly means to win at life.

I Loved Everything About You But Not You by riiiituraaj

For Dhreeti Raaj, love was supposed to be a flawless performance. He didn't seek a partner; he sought a muse-a collection of fragments and fascinations that could fill the empty spaces inside him. He found his obsession in Alina Sharma: her chaos, her confidence, and the effortless way she made his complicated world feel right. He adored the version of Alina that existed in their late-night texts and private jokes. He fell completely for the brilliant puzzle she presented, convinced that the Idea of You was the only thing that mattered. But what happens when the masterpiece demands to be a human being? As Alina begins to show her real shadows-her deepest fears, her need for space, and the unpredictability that breaks Dhreeti's carefully constructed control-he realizes his profound, selfish mistake. His adoration isn't a shelter; it's a cage built out of his own ego. This is the story of a shattering moment: when Dhreeti must choose between the perfect, beautiful lie he told himself or the agonizing, raw truth of Alina Sharma. The worst kind of heartbreak isn't being rejected-it's realizing you were the one who never showed up for the real love.
