The Irony In Adulting RANTS

Welcome to the chaotic middle ground of "almost there but not quite." The Irony in Adulting is your unapologetic guide through the hilarious, frustrating, and oddly poetic mess that is growing up - when you're still treated like a child but expected to function like a full-blown adult.
Through witty rants, late-night realizations, and painfully relatable anecdotes, this book cracks open the contradictions of modern adulthood: being told to "take your time" but also "hurry up," being praised for independence yet scolded for not doing things "their way."
This isn't a self-help book - it's a survival diary. A mirror that laughs with you, cries with you, and whispers, "you're not crazy - it really is this ironic."
Perfect for anyone navigating their twenties (or any age that feels like it's stuck between "still figuring it out" and "should've figured it out by now").
Because if adulting won't make sense... at least let it make you laugh.

The Lost Things
Throughout life, everyone saves something up. Mostly it is money or some little things like stamps and coins, but we all unconsciously collect emotions and memories our entire lives because we are human beings, and the mental world is more important to us than the physical one. However, this book is not going to be about our savings but our life-long losses. This is a book of lost things. It is partly autobiographical, but most of it is generalising. Because of the topic, it may seem depressive. Partially it is. Again, we are talking about losses. But still, my goal is not to cause a reader's regret and sadness but to show the importance of certain minor things and maybe revive some kind of memories - no matter good or bad, walking along the life path of an ordinary person.Terminé

A genius or an idiot?
Just like any other reincarnation story(without system) a bl and crappy too... The only difference is that it's me that wrote it Warning! English is not my first language! If there's errors please tell me I'm not even good in my own first language so my story might be really confusing don't hesitate to ask me if you don't understand! I reincarned as the arrogant only child of the best merchant of the country... so yea I'm rich!! But my family is like really really really famous for being... talented what the original person in this body didn't have so he was pretty much just know to be useless and worthless. The only thing he was good at was annoy people like.. he was really really good at that. He had a bad reputation. His father, couldn't make any other children and he couldn't let his son ,a good-for-nothing, take over his company or make money... So he adopted a lot of children to teach them and made them his successor. What made the original have a lot of 'siblings'. He was so frustrated that he made a last request to his father and that was to go to the best school of the country. He couldn't technically go to it because of he was talentless so he asked for money. His father accepted but the only things that help is to worsen his reputation... Now! What am I gonna do!!??Terminé

Reincarnated as the Ultimate Side Character
I died the classic way: hit by Truck-kun on a rainy Tuesday while holding bubble tea and a tote bag full of manhwa. I know. Peak K-drama energy. Next thing I know, I wake up in one of those manhwas. You know the type: Love triangle? Check. Villainess with a tragic backstory? Check. Three jaw-dropping male leads fighting over one girl? Triple check. But plot twist: I'm not 𝐡𝐞𝐫. Not the heroine. Not the villainess. Heck, I'm not even the maid who overhears important secrets. I'm a 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫-Level: Background Furniture. My only scene was in Chapter 30 where I handed someone a fork. But that's fine. I've watched enough dramas and read enough webtoons to know one thing: 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐜. 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞. Armed with half-remembered high school chemistry, useless trivia, and an unhealthy obsession with money-making hacks, I'm going to build a fortune in a world that hasn't even discovered electricity yet. ...Unless, of course, the plot finds me first.Terminé
Magical Love: Short story (ENGLISH)
Synopsis: Zerhica grew up in a wealthy household where comfort was never a concern, but love and recognition always were. Despite having everything she could possibly need, all she ever longed for was her parents' approval. Constantly overshadowed by her two older sisters-both admired for their beauty and talent-Zerhica was always seen as the least impressive, the last choice in a family obsessed with perfection. Desperate to be seen and valued, she spent her life trying to please everyone around her, giving endlessly until she had nothing left to give. By the time she realized her worth had been stripped away piece by piece, it was already too late. Then one day, Zerhica wakes up and finds herself back in the past-staring at her 17-year-old reflection in the mirror, in the very room she once called home. Armed with memories of the future she once lived and the tragedy that followed, Zerhica is given a second chance. But changing fate is never simple. Will she be able to rewrite her cruel destiny, or is history destined to repeat itself no matter what she does? And as she begins to alter the course of her life, a mysterious man named Miharo appears-someone she has never met before, someone who was never part of her past life. His presence becomes a turning point she never anticipated, intertwining his fate with hers in ways she cannot yet understand. Will this second chance lead Zerhica toward salvation... or a different kind of ruin? *** Language: English Inspired by the novel: Rebirth of Fa Wei Lan by HARUI30 Book cover art from: the manga 'yi chui wu yue tiao man ji'Terminé

With soft words and deep truths, each chapter holds space for the reader to breathe, reflect, and feel less alone. This book isn't about having all the answers. It's about embracing the journey, the letting go, the quiet victories, the unanswered prayers, and the small moments that shape us.

Reach {Book One of the Deathly Consequences Series}
[Warning; This book has plenty of foul language that sometimes borders on obscene, a couple of drool-worthy males, a smoking hot MC, and a storyline that will probably make you cry. *Run on sentence/warning done*] Thana Kage has been on the run for nearly half of her life. Hopping all across the world for five years and waiting for the time when people have forgotten she ever existed, Thana finally returned to make a new life for herself where it had all began. For three years, the plan went along well. She gained a new...friend, made her debut in a public school, and even procured a steady job with a solid income. It was all going so smoothly that Karma just couldn't help but bite her in the ass again. The Shade Brothers, the infamous Quad that Thana herself had once been apart of so long ago, have arrived to put a kink in Thana's well-maintained plan. She thought she had forgotten them. That they had forgotten her. They didn't forget nor did she. Que karmic ass-biting. *This is a slow-burn RH story with four hunks and one kickass female who've they've promised the world to while she keeps it all spinning. 40,000+ words so don't be deterred by the shortage of chapters.* {Apologies. I'm terrible at describing my story but by no means terrible in story...I think? Semi-good? Half-good? I don't know 😅 Anywho, give it a chance or a whirl and let me know what you think! P.S. This story is still in the editing stages so if you spot anything kinky let me know and I'll edit away! Happy reading :)}Terminé
