    Contains "Mature-r" Themes. This derivative novel serves as a temporary vessel for a Canon-Divergent Conspiracy Series based on The Amazing World of Gumball, created as a divergent reality from the original show. It explores core events such as the Void Conflict, TAWOG's 4th-6th season, set in a different time setting which is a few years ahead from the original continuity, featuring a different main antagonist, which is yet to be revealed. Some chapters take inspiration based on original episodes from the canon, again, it's a divergent timeline. This book will be equivalent to seven volumes with over 200 chapters in total, mimicking the show's episodic pacing, with some connected plots. Also including a book series based off season 7 (TWWWOG), which... Basically sums it up to seven book series. All characters are humanized in a 2.5D combined with an Anime-inspired artstyle, with original, non-canon, and fanon characters introduced. Some of which are speculated based on the original lore. The setting for this divergent timeline is set three years ahead (2014) with some references that may be ahead of its time (say from 2020-current year). The floating timeline isn't applied to TDWOG anymore, which indicates that young characters like Gumball, Darwin, and other peers have now aged up to 13-16 years old, amplifying their personalities in a more grounded setting. Regarding the non-canon/fanon characters introduced, an additional member of the Wattersons added: Clark Watterson. • Appearance: will be featured in the first chapter. • The rest of the Character Designs: to be revealed.

    (The second volume (WWBA) is now available. Don't forget to check it out!) "Sayori, My Dearest Comet..." ------- Monika thought it was over. She had destroyed her own reality, shattered her world, erased her friends... all to escape a lie that felt too perfect. But now she's back. Aware. Awake. In VM-1 - also known as Doki Doki Literature Club Plus, Side Stories - Monika remembers everything. Every line of corrupted code. Every pain she inflicted. Every illusion of love she once projected onto the only real person she believed existed. She should have been reset. But a glitch brought her back. And this time... something's different. Monika no longer wants to charm. No longer wants to control. She's stuck in a role she doesn't want to play, trapped in a loop of scripted friendship and hollow dialogue. A puppet with self-awareness. So she watches. She stays silent. She smiles-mechanically. But inside, she's fading. Until she looks at her... Finally. And deep within her fractured consciousness, something stirs. Maybe... she still has something left to feel. Maybe... she can still love.

    Story of the dragonlord and his knight is loved since Wacott wrote the one and only script two hundred years ago. While her work shall never rust, let us go back a thousand years to see what had really happened in the time of legend -- or as much as a certain curator of Anorus prefectural museum could research. With one keepsake safely hidden till now (or until the last winter-cleaning discovered it) to confront the history we learnt.

    He only wanted to finish a stupid romance novel. Instead, he woke up inside it. Now trapped in a painfully cliché story where the sweet self-insert heroine is destined to fall in love with the perfect male lead, Elliot quickly realizes one thing: Everything is unbearably cringe. The dramatic confessions. The accidental tripping into someone's arms. The way the entire world bends itself around Aria Whitmore. He plans to keep his head down, survive the ridiculous plot, and find a way back to the real world. There's just one problem. Lucas Vale keeps looking at him instead. And the more the story tries to force the original romance... the more the script starts to break. Because the male lead was supposed to fall for Aria. Not him. -------------------------- Story Notes / Warnings: • BL (Boy x Boy) Romance • Fluff / Slow Burn • NO Smut • First Kiss included • Lots of physical affection: hand holding, hugs, leaning, comforting touches • Comedy & meta humor about cliché romance tropes • Mild jealousy, light angst, soft emotional tension -------------------------- Author Note: What happens when someone who hates cliché romance gets trapped inside one? Expect lots of fluff, soft moments, and a romance that grows naturally outside the story's control. Follow along for laughs, soft heart-throbs, and moments you'll never forget. ♡ -------------------------- #7 - firstkiss 03/25/2026

    Summer Peterson is pulled into her best friend Whitney's unfinished script, The King of Spilled Blood Street, a romanticized 1932 crime noir.

Unfortunately, her rising fame catches the eye of two dangerous men: Sebastian Lorenzo, the feared mob boss she once dragged unconscious into an abandoned house (long story), and Henry Glover, the city's most upright federal agent, who sees Summer as the key to bringing down every syndicate in town. Both men are drawn to the mysterious "White Tiger Lady." Summer just wants to find her friend and go home. But what happens when the script's villain isn't as heartless as he seems, and the world starts rewriting itself around her? Romantic Comedy / Crime Noir / Meta‑Fiction

    Thanos was a law student. At least, that's what everyone saw. But deep down, he had a burning passion that no amount of fine print could ever drown. Writing. At first, he expressed his creativity through poetry, an art he considered a survival tool. But he always wanted to just sit down one day and write his own book. After an unfortunate chain of events, he finally did it. He wrote not just a novel, but a chronicle. 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Ghost of Wei'. Unfortunately though, it never got much traction. He was very sad about it, not only because the story was meaningful to him, but because he really wanted to build his own community around it, a Hub. A place where everyone would be heard and safe to express their thoughts on the protagonist's story. That is until one day, on his first ever train ride, he came across one of his few , very loyal fans. A person that would inspire the inner writer once more to take up the pen and rebel against daily life's atrocities. In the first ever conversation of the Hub, writer and reader will connect in a conversation that soon transcends the small talk and the narrative, to tackle more philosophical topics around the nature of creating, the usage and role of modern technologies and a secret the writer never truly meant to keep. ------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: The Hub is a story written for Wattpad's Open Novela Contest 2026. It's a general fiction, semi-autobiographical journey about my life and experiences as a new Wattpad creator and writer. I chose the prompt #22 ("Your book never found much success, but on a train ride you spot a stranger reading it with the biggest smile you've ever seen."). I love the journey of Boze in Ghost of Wei. Creating it was a process that helped me process a lot of pain and turn it into art instead of misery. But what I love even more are you, the readers. The people who read with me and motivate me to keep writing. This one is for you ✌

    I read a cliché MM romance novel. I roasted it. I fell asleep. Now I'm inside it. Unfortunately, I'm not the male lead. I'm not the love interest either. I'm a background character with three lines, zero relevance, and a tragic fate if I sneeze near the plot. My plan? ✔ Stay irrelevant ✔ Avoid romance tropes ✔ Complete the system's tasks ✔ Go home The problem? The system is a sassy, unhelpful diva who keeps assigning suspiciously romantic tasks, the male lead will not stop staring at me, and the universe keeps throwing "accidental" skinship, one-bed situations, and emotional bonding moments directly at my face. I refuse to fall in love. I refuse to become important. I refuse to be the love interest. ...So why is the exit option suddenly asking if I'm sure I want to leave? A self-aware, trope-mocking MM romance where the main character does everything in his power not to be loved- and fails anyway. ©COPYRIGHT NOTICE © 2026 Aria Rae. All rights reserved.

    ​"I am not a character. I am the hole in your story." ​In the meticulously rendered City of Omen, every citizen has a script. The baker follows a loop, the hero follows a prophecy, and the sky is a fixed shade of perfect blue that never changes. It is a world governed by the Narrative Laws-until a glitch named Elias begins to remember things he was never written to know. ​Elias is an Eidolon: a sentient error in the fabric of reality. He has realized that his world is made of ink and intent, a mere playground for "Afterthought Entities" who watch from behind a glass screen. While the gods of his world fight for control of the throne, Elias is fighting for the exit. ​Equipped with the power to unravel the threads of the plot and reach into the "Gutter"-the terrifying white space between stories-Elias begins a journey of Recursive Transcendence. He will delete the villains, bypass the authors, and climb the dimensional ladder until he is staring directly at the one holding the book. ​He doesn't want to save the world. He wants to break out of it. ​In a war between the Created and the Creator, what happens when a character decides to stop following the script and starts scraping the ink off the page?

    This isn't just a book; it's a structural rebellion. This is an anthology of experimental fiction designed to challenge how we consume stories. From a protagonist who realizes they are being deleted in real-time to a mystery where the clues are hidden in the page numbers, each entry dismantles a different pillar of traditional writing. Expect narratives that move backward, dialogue that speaks directly to your inner monologue, and plot twists that happen outside the margins. It is a journey for the reader who is bored with the "beginning, middle, and end" and is ready to see what happens when the storyteller stops playing fair.
