Matamata Coffee

Ethan Grayson has it all: a multi-billion-dollar company, a penthouse view, and a personality so charming it’s borderline unbearable. But after one too many dinner dates with women who talk more about his stock portfolio than their hobbies, Ethan decides he’s done with high society. His grand plan? Marry a “normal” woman who doesn’t care about his money. Simple, right? Enter Emily Carter, a bookshop employee who thinks a “luxury” is buying two cups of coffee in one day. She’s witty, stubborn, and entirely unimpressed when Ethan waltzes into her shop one afternoon, throwing around compliments like confetti. For Ethan, Emily is everything he’s looking for: genuine, grounded, and refreshingly immune to his usual charm. There’s just one tiny problem. Ethan’s arrogance is the size of his bank account, and Emily has no patience for egotistical billionaires—no matter how good their jawline is. As Ethan awkwardly tries to “woo” Emily in the most unromantic ways possible (think unsolicited business advice and overly generous tips), Emily starts to wonder if this handsome stranger might actually have a heart hidden under all that bravado. But when she discovers his real reason for pursuing her, all bets are off. Will Ethan learn to drop his ego long enough to win Emily’s trust? Or will Emily decide that some books are better left closed?

Julius Fondatore is an Italian historian that specializes in Roman history. Graduating from the Sapienza University of Rome, he has scoured and read almost all the historical manuscripts available in the many libraries and museums of Italy. One morning while he was on his way to his usual coffee shop, he noticed a seemingly new bookstore that had opened. While passing, his eyes quickly glanced towards the direction of a top selling novel displayed under the fantasy section entitled, “Veni, Vidi, Vici – Rise of Rome in Another World”. Intrigued, Julius bought the book intending to read it while enjoying coffee. However, tragedy stuck when the seemingly newly built bookstore collapsed, crushing the young man in the process. When he woke up, he found himself in a fantastical world of magic as the first consul of the human city, Roma.

Ella Foster is a self-proclaimed genius, coffee addict, and all-around bookworm. But when she wakes up inside her favorite 1800s historical romance novel, she's not the beautiful heroine or even the fabulous villainess. Nope. She's Eleanor Fletcher, a 17-year-old orphaned commoner with zero importance to the story-a complete throwaway character. No grand destiny. No powerful connections. Just poverty, a bakery job, and shoes so uncomfortable they might be a crime. Armed with her modern-day knowledge and fueled by a mix of sheer determination and sarcasm, Ella decides she's not going to be just another background extra. She's got a plan: open a shop, create mind-blowing inventions, and maybe even introduce indoor plumbing (these people have no idea what they're missing). Filled with humor, heart, and a dash of romance, I've Been Novelled! is a fun, clever twist on the isekai genre, where one girl's genius inventions-and a touch of 21st-century sass-might just change the course of a very different history. NB ( I don't post on weekends)

"So, you're telling me I wrestled three cyclopes last night and... won?" Dr. Alexander Matthews, a myth-obsessed professor, never expected his latest research trip to Greece would lead to actually becoming Hercules. After stumbling upon a cursed diary, Alexander wakes up in ancient Greece... only now he’s got bulging muscles, an olive-wood club, and a to-do list that includes slaying the Nemean Lion. His body is built for heroics, but his mind is still very much a coffee-fueled academic. Between dodging centaurs and managing way too many injuries, Alexander struggles to keep his cool. With ancient monsters to fight, divine drama to dodge, and the constant realization that he's really bad at ancient Greek armor, Alexander must somehow survive Hercules' legendary labors — all while trying not to faint from pain... or embarrassment. "So, about the Nemean Lion... any chance it just needs a hug?"

If you wish to undertake the book and appreciate the story, please read it up till chapter 300s to understand the sudden twist in chapter 100s. i will admit that during that time, I am still a young budding author and could have expressed the story better in the early hundred chapters. But I assure you the story development is worth it. ----------- Discord channel: https://discord.gg/KkUXzjTKf9 If you have some spare change, please buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/moloxiv

Harley Davis was your average coffee-slinging comic book nerd living a perfectly ordinary life in Miami—until he fell asleep reading his favorite Deadpool comic and woke up in a grimy New York City apartment. His prized comic? Still with him. His normal life? Gone. And his new reality? Let’s just say it feels suspiciously like a Marvel crossover event gone horribly wrong. When Wolverine shows up claiming Harley’s comic has broken the multiverse and Deadpool bursts in with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, Harley’s life takes a turn for the absurd. Suddenly, he’s not just a barista; he’s the unwitting center of a cosmic calamity involving malfunctioning dimensions, bickering superheroes, and a fourth wall that’s practically in shambles. Armed with his encyclopedic knowledge of Marvel lore, a knack for sarcastic banter, and a growing suspicion that Deadpool is enjoying this way too much, Harley must navigate a chaotic multiverse filled with quirky allies, terrifying foes, and plot twists that could rival any comic book. Can a regular guy with zero powers survive a world where the rules of reality bend like rubber? Or will Harley’s journey end in a disaster big enough to wipe out the entire multiverse? One thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a wild, laugh-out-loud ride through a story that blurs the line between fandom and reality.
