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.

Beneath the earth, the sun is only a memory - and its light is no longer free. The powerful have bottled it, priced it, and called it holy. Every flicker, every breath, must be paid for in Lumen. Lucy Farrow was born in the Gloom, where the air tastes of rust and hope is a dangerous thing. Her mother taught her to keep her glow low - to survive unseen. But when the light inside her begins to stir, Lucy's secret could unravel the order that keeps their divided city alive. High above, in the marble halls of the Halo, Prince Cassian Veran uncovers a secret among ink and dust - a forbidden lineage that could unmake the order he was born to protect. His duty is to snuff it out: his heart tells him to save it. Between them rises the Veil: a wall of soot-black stone and blinding searchlights, dividing the blessed from the broken. As rebellion brews in the dark and doubt kindles in the light, their paths will cross - and together they will awaken a fire long thought dead. A Radiant who could bring back the dawn... or burn the world to ash. ⸻ ✧ ⸻ Lucy approached the marble stairs of the Distribution Point, feeling smaller with every step. Even after so many visits, its splendour still swallowed her whole. Inside, chandeliers of bottled light bathed clerks and soldiers in scarlet. Behind the wooden barrier, white-gloved hands counted Credits and passed bottles of gold to the waiting poor. A cry tore through the hush. "No, I swear, these Credits are real -" The clerk's reply was colder than stone. "One is counterfeit. Guards!" Boots thundered. The woman screamed as Veil Guards dragged her away, her voice fading into the city's endless hum. The line moved. "Next." Lucy stepped forward, clutching her satchel. The Credits inside jingled - Mother had checked them twice, but still her hands shook. ⸻ ✧ ⸻

The Far Eastern empire of Liuxian is flourishing, and the millennia-old tradition of porcelain dolls helps keep its subjects within a religious regime. One of the princes, chosen as a child, as part of custom to incarnate the god of porcelain, is sent to the coastal kingdom of Espar to marry the local heir to the throne as part of an alliance. Unfortunately, during the journey, all in the retinue fall victim to an Esparian band of villains, but the prince's body remains undiscovered. Five years later, another young prince from the country of Koder sets out on an expedition to circumnavigate the entire continent of Euloris. During the voyage, he is caught in a shipwreck but manages to survive along with part of the ship's crew thanks to the Esparians' help. Little does he know that this will land him in the middle of the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Liuxian prince and give him the opportunity to uncover the truth, the whole truth. 1 place in #bl 17.02.2024 Please note that this is an author's translation of the original Polish text, so due to language differences, some content may have been lost or slightly changed in the translation process.

Released in the year 2034, Sablethorn Online was the most popular game ever created. A sprawling fantasy world of gods, monsters, and endless dungeons. Reality shattered sometime later, and the mechanics of Sablethorn bled into everyday life. Transferring his consciousness into the body of Solution, his high-level character, Nazario discovers that the rules of Sablethorn now apply to real life: experience points, items, classes, and skills now carry real weight. Worse still, he isn't always in control. His consciousness is continuously transferred to different characters he's created, each with their own strengths, flaws, and secrets. Having been thrust into a world where classmates must learn to fight or die against creatures ripped from myth, Nazario has to guide the inexperienced while hiding the truth of what he is. And beyond all the noise, lies something greater. A villainous quest only someone like Nazario could complete. But with godlike power within reach and enemies closing in, one question remains: Will he save this world...or conquer it?

"In a world that fears the dark, an Unlit man dares to build a fragile family out of its monsters." When the realm's fires failed him as a child, Caelen grew into a man untouched by flame - an Unlit, shunned and whispered about, forever cold. He has lived by the edge of his sword, hunted beasts and nightmares alike, content to keep his own heart locked behind iron walls. But that changes the day he finds a half-starved girl in the ruins of a slaughtered village. Hollow-eyed, silent, marked by strange power, she clings to life by sheer instinct. Against every instinct, Caelen cannot walk away. Soon after, they are joined by a feral creature - thin as bone, claws dulled by hunger, eyes gleaming with a hurt so deep it seems almost human. Together, they form a fragile trio that stumbles through shadowed forests and frostbitten paths, hunted by men who would see them burned for what they are. Yet in this cold world, small miracles blossom: a name given, a first laugh, the rough warmth of hands clasped together in the dark. But the tighter Caelen draws these children to his chest, the closer old threats creep - hunters, nobles, and ancient powers that see a Hollowborn and a creature walking with an Unlit man as a sign of ruin. And when betrayal finally comes, it will not strike where he expects. --- A slow-burn dark fantasy of chosen family, fragile hope, and the terrible beauty of loving something the world wants destroyed.

Saoirse Ryan is a Hanner from a shamed noble house. Drowning from her parents' debts and eyed with suspicion after her brother's failed attempt at rebellion, she's offered a way out by the ambitious Lady Rhiannon Brynmor. The price for salvation is simple - marry Lady Rhiannon's stepson, Rhys, and ruin him so that his half-brother Emyr can become the heir to House Brynmor. Rhys Brynmor is an Elf from the most prestigious house in all of Briste. Despite being the eldest, he seeks isolation and runs from fame, burdened by a past that left him physically limited and distrustful of others. Now roped into an arranged marriage as a gesture of peace between the Hanner and Elves, Rhys' return to the place of his birth - and his father's greatest shame - holds a promise of redemption...or a threat to expose a secret that could destroy House Brynmor forever. As Rhys and Saoirse begin a journey to redeem their respective houses, they find themselves facing many obstacles. A people desperate for change. Ambitious enemies, ready to strike. A hidden destiny that makes the kingdom ripe for picking. And perhaps the greatest obstacle of all: falling in love with the person you're supposed to hate. * House Brynmor is a part-romance, part-low fantasy story set in a fantastical world that mirrors the Victorian Era with a dash of steampunk and a sprinkle of medieval drama. Expect a slow burn, political intrigue, and a plot that balances both the romance of the couple and how their individual roles affect the world around them. * Updates each weekend with a new chapter! * Story also published on RoyalRoad.

In the wind-washed west of Éire, where rain carries the memory of forgotten gods, Eithne grows into her sixteenth winter torn between two worlds. The new faith tightens its grip on her kin, yet the old ways still murmur to her in river-song and raven-cry. Her aunt demands silence; her uncle offers gentle refuge. But Eithne's soul has already been claimed by something older, something bright. When Imbolc returns, a strange dream pulls her to the battered cliffs of her homeland. There she encounters Bríg, the goddess of fire, healing, and the first trembling breath of spring-radiant as dawnlight, sorrowful as a world fading from memory. Bríg speaks to the part of Eithne that has never forgotten her ancestors' songs, awakening a gift that stirs like a spark in dry tinder. Sent to the mist-wrapped isle of Inishmaine, Eithne discovers that the boundary between mortal and divine is not a wall but a veil-thin, trembling, and eager to tear. Ancient powers gather around her, recognizing her as a bridge between belief and forgetting. The old gods are not gone; they are waiting for someone who can still hear them. As visions deepen and the air around her begins to shimmer with unseen flame, Eithne must choose whether to quiet her gift forever...or become the voice of a world slipping into shadow. For the land remembers. The gods remember. And Eithne is the spark that may yet rekindle them.
