Etiquette Antonym

I Got Reincarnated with OP Stats...For Snacking?

When Arila Vellion wakes up in the body of a noble girl in a magical kingdom, her first thought is not, “Where am I?” but rather, “Please don’t let this be a dating sim.” Spoiler alert: it is. And she’s the glitch in the main storyline. Reincarnated with full memories of her past life as Shizuku, a sarcastic, over-caffeinated Japanese high schooler with a sweet tooth and a love for otome games, Arila quickly realizes she’s been thrown into a romantic fantasy world complete with glittering nobles, dramatic plotlines, and way too many sparkly boys with tragic backstories. She was supposed to be a background character. A cake-obsessed extra who quietly died of heartbreak in Chapter Two. But thanks to one poorly timed lightning spell and a wyvern crash-landing into a royal ball, Arila has accidentally triggered multiple romance routes, bonded with a divine fox spirit named Ninko (who may or may not be judging everyone), and become the magical prodigy everyone’s talking about. Now, she has five elemental affinities, a rapidly growing fanbase of confused love interests, and an entire noble society that can’t decide whether she’s a genius or a walking disaster. (Hint: it’s both.) Unfortunately, the world she’s landed in doesn’t play fair. Behind the sparkles and courtly dances lies a tangled web of magical politics, ancient prophecies, and rival heroines who take their drama very seriously. From scheming villainesses with perfect hair to a bubbly commoner girl with suspicious protagonist energy, Arila is surrounded by walking plot points—and not a single one of them understands her sarcastic anime references. Between dodging marriage proposals, sabotaging flag events with strategic pastry distribution, and accidentally becoming the center of magical warfare, Arila just wants to live a chill, snack-filled life with her divine fox and a kitchen full of cocoa. But fate—and apparently the headmaster of Divine Royale Academy—has other plans. Welcome to a world where: • Your school schedule includes wand combat and etiquette for duels, • Your romantic rival might be a dragon in disguise, • And your only defense against political matchmaking is a sarcastic smirk and a frying pan. Can Arila rewrite the narrative, survive magical orientation, and launch her dream dessert empire—without becoming the final boss of this love story? Probably not. But she is wearing sneakers to the next royal event. Just in case.

The Metric's Shadow and The Paper of Fate

Li Mei is a young software engineer in Shenzhen, whose life is a constant cycle of endless code, demanding deadlines, and the big hopes of her family back in the village. She's a mirror image of millions of young people in China: hardworking, practical, and often quite tired. Her daily routine is simple: instant coffee, crowded subway rides, and long hours at a futuristic office. In the fast-paced rush of the city, Mei just dreams of financial stability and a little bit of free time. But everything changes during a strange accident. A server explosion involving ancient artifacts—secretly discovered—sends Li Mei's soul hurtling through time. She wakes up in the body of Princess Consort Xiu Luan, a woman in the ancient Zhou Dynasty known for being graceful, quiet, and obedient, but whose hidden intelligence is often underestimated. In this new world, palace intrigues are far more deadly than modern corporate politics. Mei, with her engineer's practical and logical mind, has to adapt to a world ruled by complex etiquette, ancient prophecies, and brutal power struggles between concubines and noble families. She quickly realizes that Xiu Luan's body is just a pawn in a cruel game, where princes fight for the throne, and women are merely tools. At the same time, in the very same palace, there's Grand Empress An Ru. She's a woman feared for her cold, emotionless power and sharp intellect. An Ru is the main architect behind the palace's many schemes, pulling the strings of fate from behind the scenes. She looks down on other women and only cares about absolute power. But Grand Empress An Ru herself is trapped by a destiny tied to her bloodline—she's the only one with the power to summon ancient entities, and this power curses her soul. This story is about two women caught in a predetermined destiny who find strength in each other. Mei, in Xiu Luan's body, must use her modern logic to understand the schemes and manipulate situations, while realizing that An Ru's strength and resilience might be their only way out. As they are forced to interact and ally against greater forces—both within the palace and mystical threats—they begin to understand each other. Mei sees the burden behind An Ru's cruelty, and An Ru starts to see the potential in Xiu Luan's suddenly intelligent, "strange" way of thinking. The novel will explore themes like the clash of cultures and time, power and sacrifice, and identity and destiny being rewritten. It's a story about how an "ordinary" modern woman finds unexpected strength within herself and changes an ancient destiny through friendship, and perhaps a deeper bond, with a woman who was initially considered an enemy. I hope this version is easier to understand! Let me know if you'd like any other parts translated or explained.

Between-worlds

GENRES: Supernatural, Urban Fantasy, Action, Found Family, Mystery, Comedy with Romantic Undertones. ****** Aspiring doctor Sawyer West Reid’s relatively uneventful night shift took a decidedly chaotic turn the moment a powerful A-class witch targeted him. Instead of a swift demise, Sawyer’s life was unexpectedly saved by a formidable Hunter, violently yanking him into a vibrant, hidden world teeming with magic, enigmatic monsters, and the looming presence of cosmic forces from beyond the veil of reality. Now, Sawyer finds himself reluctantly thrust into an entirely new, and often terrifying, role: Enforcer, a precarious mediator navigating the delicate and often volatile relationships between humans, a diverse array of supernatural beings, and even the bewildering customs of alien races from the far reaches of the cosmos. Haunted by fragmented echoes of countless past lives that whisper secrets he doesn’t yet understand, and precariously balanced on the razor’s edge between interconnected realms, Sawyer’s journey is anything but ordinary. From surviving a near-fatal encounter with a towering, pale creature possessing chilling crimson eyes to being tasked with the urgent mission of closing a mysterious interdimensional gate ripped open by an unknown and potentially catastrophic force in the desolate Red Desert, saving the universe was definitely not covered in his medical school curriculum. In a universe governed by ancient, often contradictory laws, riddled with hidden dimensions and lurking cosmic threats (not to mention the bewildering complexities of alien social interactions and some truly baffling intergalactic beverage etiquette), Sawyer is rapidly learning that his medical skills and an unhealthy reliance on caffeine will only get him so far. Survival in this new reality will demand a crash course in the arcane, a reliance on newfound allies, and a surprising capacity for both quick wit and unexpected bravery. This story began as a desire to explore a supernatural tapestry richly woven with witches, werewolves, gods, monsters, and a myriad of other extraordinary beings – all meticulously grounded in the intricate universal laws that subtly govern their existence. What started as a single spark of inspiration has since ignited into an ever-expanding adventure, filled with peril, humor, and the burgeoning bonds of found family, that I hope will captivate your imagination as much as it continues to enthrall me. Thank you for embarking on this wild and unpredictable ride with me. I’m having an absolute blast, and I sincerely hope you will too! NOTE: Please be aware that this story contains scenes of violence and explores darker themes, and is therefore intended for an adult audience. ****** UPDATES (WEST AFRICA TIME): Exclusive character art for Patreon supporters every Monday; general chapter update for all platforms every Thursday; bonus chapter for Patreon supporters every Sunday.

Musikleben

In the heart of Vienna, where the echoes of classical melodies danced through the air, lived a modern musician named Benjamin O'Connor. Benjamin was a prodigious talent in the contemporary music scene, seamlessly blending electronic beats with soulful melodies. Little did he know that his life was about to take an extraordinary turn. One evening, as Benjamin prepared for a groundbreaking performance in the vibrant city, a mysterious force enveloped him. Colors twisted and sounds blurred, transporting him through the fabric of time. Suddenly, he found himself in an era untouched by synthesizers and digital harmonies. It was the year 1741, the time when Joseph II of the Holy Roman Empire was born. Confused and disoriented, Benjamin took in the unfamiliar surroundings. The air was filled with the scent of horse-drawn carriages, and the cobblestone streets echoed with the clatter of footsteps in traditional attire. The towering structures of Vienna looked different, as if frozen in a historical painting. As Benjamin grappled with the reality of his situation, he soon realized that he was no longer in the 21st century. Panic and awe intertwined within him, but his musician's spirit prevailed. Rather than succumbing to the strangeness of the past, he saw an opportunity to explore a world where musical notes were written with quills, not keyboards. In the midst of this historical epoch, Benjamin navigated the winding alleys and grand palaces of Vienna, eager to understand the musical landscape of the 18th century. He discovered the Baroque elegance of orchestral compositions and the intricate craftsmanship of harpsichords. The streets resonated with the melodies of Mozart and Haydn, composers who were yet to be born in his original timeline. Joseph II, the future ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, was still a child, oblivious to the visitor from another time. Benjamin observed the society of the period, marveling at the cultural richness and the strict etiquette that governed daily life. As he adapted to the customs of the era, he became a musical sojourner, merging his avant-garde sensibilities with the classical tapestry of the past. Word of the mysterious musician spread through Vienna like wildfire. Aristocrats and commoners alike flocked to witness Benjamin's unorthodox performances, where the clash of eras created a symphony that transcended time itself. His music became a bridge between epochs, a testament to the timeless power of artistic expression. As Benjamin immersed himself in this unfamiliar world, he also grappled with the challenges of existing in a time where his very existence defied explanation. Yet, through the challenges, he found unexpected allies among the musicians and patrons who recognized the magic in his music. Little did Benjamin know that his journey through time would not only leave an indelible mark on the pages of history but also reshape his own understanding of music and humanity. In the crucible of the past, a modern musician discovered that the language of melody could transcend the boundaries of time, connecting hearts across centuries.

Maybe this wasn't such a bad world after all...

Don't read it It just some ideas.... I was planning to make this girl who become a boy when she reincarnated in game like world to receive a cheat "perfect loot". It means that she can get all the loot that could possibly get when you kill the monster. Then she thought she might as well go travelling and see the world while doing quest since money is not a problem anymore she could just sell the rare equipment in an auction house. Thennnnnn two years has passed, at a certain town she caught the attention of teachers from prestigious school. They offered her and she accepted cause she wants the knowledge in the library of the school. However since 2 years have passed everyone already started school so when she comes everyone was curious furthermore they found out she was a commoner but she dress lavishly like a noble. His outside appearance completely look like noble not like a commoner at all. At first everyone was "she just pretend to be a noble" later on she face slap those people with her wealth and also because of the service that she made "she could get any loot if requested" a year ago a lot of high upper nobles already acquainted with him. Because of this service too she had to learn how nobles etiquette and such but because she was once a girl eventhough she learns the boy etiquette, she exert a certain charm from feminity and masculinity so everyone was more attaracted to her. Unexpectedly(not really lol) she got the attention of the 5 princes of the school, each and everyone of them have high status(here comes the cliche) but the main reason is they were told to keep an eye on her from their parents cause indirectly she helped the 5 princes' parent getting the rare loot even one of the loot are being used by the princes at that time. So they agreed and tried to get closer to her. However, they really didn't expect they would get charmed to the extent that they would pull her into their circle. At first everyone was on guard because she have a lot of secrets even when they investigate her not much coming out since she comes from a smaller town and when she got her adventurer licence she lied about her name so they couldn't found where she belongs to. Even the rare loot she got doesn't have any explanation. Later on these secret intrigue them to find out more about her but more secrets comes out instead so they just keep her close by convincing themselves they were just curious and all that they "totally" didn't have any feelings for her. Unfortunately she didn't planned to stay long, so after a year passed she already got all the knowledge she's curious about, she left leaving the school behind. The 5 princes were stunned then they found out that the teacher who offer her to go to their school already make a deal with her, she said she would only leave after a year and if she decided to stay then it's up to her decision only. The 5 princes felt lost from the sudden dissapearance of her so they decided to chase after her under the excuse "they were out to gain experiences" since their school permitted that as long as it didn't exceed a year dissapearance. While she was about to get onto the ship, she got caught from one of the princes. At this point they were all went to yandere mode saying "You can't leave me behind" "Where do you think you're going" so all them ended up going to an island where she planned to go since there is a special festival going there. Since they were afraid that she would suddenly run away again they forced her to sign a contract using magic it's nothing harmful using the contract they be able to tell her location. And then... I got no ideas left... Hmmm actually about the 5 princes i was planning to meet them when she is still travelling/adventuring in those 2 years. She was wearing a mask and she got into a party of 5 princes so without knowing who she is, they got charmed. After that they got separated for awhile then they would meet at school so yeah that's it lol
