Mira, an avid player of otome games, suddenly finds herself in the world of the otome game she's just finished. As if that on its own isn't bad enough, she's become the game's villainess, Blythe Ridge, destined for execution once the heroine attains the good ending of whichever love interest she chooses. As a connoisseur of isekai web novels, she's convinced that all she needs to do to escape from certain death is to turn over a new leaf and stop bullying Daisy Willoughby, the heroine of the otome game. Easy peasy. Unfortunately for her, she soon finds out that she has no say in the matter-her body moves of its own will whenever certain game events have to take place. Everyone around her is bemused by her frenzied scrambling to claim that all her malicious actions, and even some of her speech, are a complete and total accident. Mira-no, it's Blythe now-just wants to escape from the 'villainess' label to keep on living! ----------------------------------- "Born to be a pacifist, forced to be a villainess. Such is the story of my life!" "What in the world are you talking about?" "It's a meme, a meme!" ----------------------------------- (third person, past tense, slowburn clean romance, LOW fantasy) ----------------------------------- Note: An otome game often refers to a romance visual novel, targeted at women, with a female protagonist and male love interests.

**𝑨 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒔𝒆 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆. 𝑨𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒄𝒚. 𝑨 𝒘𝒂𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅𝒔. Between golden apples, fairy curses, and a haunted castle, a disguised princess begins her journey towards the crown.** "Beware of apples made of golden light. Their sweetness knows no end-only a price for every immortal heart beats to the rhythm of a trade. For the otherworld gives no miracles out of mercy- only promises sealed with blood." - Morgana LeFay - Since Avalon was ravaged by flames and consumed by fog, the boundaries to the otherworld have become thin: trees sing ominous songs, rivers change their course, children disappear unseen from their beds, and the Aos Sídhe prepare for battle. The balance of all Albion seems to have been thrown off since the death of the High King. Grief and fear are spreading; blood and ashes cover the fields in this world and the beyond. While the maelstrom of war threatens to engulf the kingdom, Arianna, daughter of Uther Pendragon, grows up hidden and protected by her foster father Sir Ector, unable to remember her heritage, her burden and her destiny. However, when an engagement is set to seal her future, she quickly steals away in the guise of the young squire Arthur and secretly joins the entourage of her foster brother Cei. What begins as a journey to freedom leads brother and sister far from home into the clutches and intrigues of the otherworld when, beyond a heavy fog, they encounter an enchanted castle whose walls conceal a tree bearing golden apples... It soon becomes clear whether Arianna has the courage to claim her legacy, for one thing is certain: only a king can unite the warring lords. The mortals as well as the immortals.

In a world of ash, power is measured by what you've burned. Veyra Thornhollow doesn't remember her mother's face. She traded it years ago for the ability to calculate survival odds without flinching. In the Ember Cities, where the Concordat harvests the souls of the unregistered and the Veil Covenant chases apotheosis through self-annihilation, Veyra is something worse than a criminal. She is efficient. Tier-3. Self-taught. A monster who killed her teacher the moment the lessons ran out. Now she's set her sights on Solis Vane, a Tier-4 deserter controlling an army of Hollows in the poisoned marshlands. She doesn't want to kill him for justice. She wants to harvest his Hearth, extract his crystallized power, and use it to reach heights no wild Ashwright has achieved. The cost doesn't matter. Veyra burned the capacity for regret alongside her fear. But Solis has leverage of his own. A daughter. A hidden weakness. And the Hollow Marches don't forgive mistakes. Ashen Hollow is a progression fantasy for readers who like their protagonists cold, their magic systems brutal, and their victories pyrrhic. No redemption arcs. No found family. Just the endless calculation of survival in a world that consumes everything eventually.

Random/disordered pieces. Generally written in a state of dreary haze of sorts. More lucid than brain fog yet with the oppression of hallucination. A wakeful dream; The sense of it, at the very moment it's written been clear, slips away when revisited later. It's rather useless by then. Passion never lasts. And I'm stuck romanticizing the ephemeral. <> Finding human writing/art/media apart from ai will become as pedantic as abstaining for organic produce from the conventional in a market. It all feeds the same anyhow: SFX Props? VFX CGI? GenAI? At some point, barely anyone would bother differentiating. The consequences overall lies in rumor and superstition with a scientific flavor. Getting ahead of the curb by acting on suggestions/hypotheses as mandates; could such gamble be afforded over and over? Doesn't gambling lead to a net loss on average? By the end of it, organic's the minority, as against automation, so will be humanity. Writing on itself as a form of sincere expression, like this, is a type of clownery. A doomed hobby, mutually outmoded as reading. Doomscrolling would've been a better use of time on my end. "Fast fashion" form of writing has always been the point for the mainstream. Writing's streamlined for a long while now. LLM-AI is that final step to maximize the output. Really, is it bad? Its a self-sufficient haven: Why complain over getting more of what one wants, like the want of reading? Quality in art is in the mercy of subjectivity. Not good enough? Want improvement?: Improvement is the expertise of ai. It's only natural. What can be done? I don't know: spiting against a tsunami will not prevent it from coming and washing everything away that's good. And sometimes it takes even the bad amongst the wreck. I'm here; Luddite. Inept. I can only wait to be swept away or drown by it. Whichever comes first. "Sent from my IPhone"🙏🌽⚽️ Cover: Self-Edited(Muhammad Siyah Qalam miniatures)
