Plot: The plot focuses on an unnamed depressed apathetic writer experiencing writer's block. After the success of his critically acclaimed debut novel, The Novel, he runs out of ideas to write for another masterpiece. He goes on a journey, even having to do things he wouldn't normally do just for the sake of getting ideas, just to reclaim his lost creativity, and he also reflects his experiences in life and love. The novel is part satire, part philosophical, due to its existentialist blend inspired from the works of Camus, Sartre, Dostoyevsky, and Kafka with a mix of my trademarks—surreal and dark humor, violence, parody, satirical commentary, horror and shock value, depression, and nihilism.
Genre: Transgressive Fiction, Absurdist Fiction

A Simping Hedgehog
A lonely, cynical, heartbroken man embarks on a path of self destruction. His own life has taught him how romanticism ruins love, but still he develops romantic love for another woman.

Ouroboros and hedgehog's dilemma form the basis of this story. CONTENT WARNING: This work is appropriate for readers of age, 18 years and above, due to explicit references to some sexual acts, and strong language. Also, though, this is a dark comedy, there won't be any offence to any of the races/religions/genders.

Catastrophe Theory Book I: You Can't Hide From Yourself Forever
Two intertwined families, the Lius and the Jeong-Espinosas, grapple with pain in a painless utopia, consequences in a carefree universe, death in a world where death is a choice. In the first installment, the author treats the characters like normal sims and narrates their antics in the first person. But as the story continues, they branch off, revealing their distinct personalities, inner conflicts, fatal flaws, and existential struggles. Book I was originally published in blog format and is meant to showcase the author's style developing alongside the characters. It's quite silly compared to later books.Complete
InkeQuizzles and Chocolate Cake
Welcome to the strange nonsensical world full of the almighty Inkequizzles and evil Chocolate cake, extracted from the colorful universe of my very own brain. The chapters of this book don't follow any particular storyline altogether; they're mostly my workings of the art of nonsense. Vignettes, short stories, games, freeverse "poetry", rants, pretty much anything I can think of. I hope you enjoy c: -Armo SchmuttyComplete
The Life of a Lifeless Teenager
Weirdness. That's the only word that describes the life of Jay Parker, an eighteen year old depressed student who's stuck in the absurd world called reality. The novel lacks an obvious plot, and each chapter has a different story, making it unconnected to one another. Each chapter tells the misadventures of Jay Parker, stories/poems that he wrote, and other surreal vignettes or dream sequences. The author has described this an experimental work of fiction that creates its own conventions through surrealism and dark humor. Genre: Black comedy, Surreal Comedy, Satire R-rated. Update: Start from Chapter 21 to 48 for the relationship story-arc or at Chapter 66 to 81 for the realism story-arc where I removed the surreal aspects and make it more humorous while still maintaining autobiographical elements (this is where my writing skills really peaked). Chapter 82 onward is the Allison story-arc, telling the story of Jay's girlfriend Allison Hepburn and her absurd experiences with reality, marking the first time that Jay Parker is no longer the focal character, so as to maintain accuracy to the title (since Jay is now in his twenties).Complete
Oops, I Have a Collection of Nonsense
My brain refuses to settle on just one mood. So welcome to my collection of nonsense. Some stories will make you laugh, some might make you cry, and some might make you question reality (and your taste in reading). This collection includes both fiction and non-fiction (short stories, poetry, reflections, etc.) I don't even know what I'm writing half the time, but that's the fun. It's chaotic. It's random. It's nonsense. And maybe you'll enjoy it.Complete
