WSA 2025 participant in the New trope (please try it): Micheal von Shelb, the lazy yet brilliant Duke's son, discovers he’s a disposable side character in a series of romantic dramas where the authors gleefully kill off his family and even his unborn kids. Unwilling to accept his footnote status, Micheal sets out to rewrite his destiny. Armed with his brain, wit, and slightly impractical inventions like man-bras, he vows to save his wife, Magda, restore their lives, and revolutionize the Empire. But fate's got other plans. Between dodging political plots, equipping beastmen, and launching horseless carriages, Micheal's quiet life dream spirals into chaos. As the multiverse meddles, Micheal proves that even a side character can upstage the main plot, one sassy retort at a time.

[Warning: Mature Content] Rayden Zephyrios, a remarkably handsome and robust young man, is unexpectedly summoned to an alternate realm. In this new world, he is designated to serve as a Combat Magician, tasked with enhancing the military prowess of a certain kingdom. However, after an evaluation of his magical capabilities, it is revealed that he possesses only two innate abilities: telekinesis and plant growth—both of which are considered rather mundane and commonplace among the populace. Deeming Rayden's potential impact negligible, the king decides to grant him his freedom, bestowing upon him several bags of gold and independent ownership of expansive lands located within the treacherous wilderness of the borderlands. Far from feeling disheartened or disadvantaged, Rayden views this new chapter of his life as increasingly alluring, unburdened by the constraints he once faced on Earth. In a surprising twist, upon re-evaluating his inherent abilities, Rayden discovers that the initial assessment was marred by a technical error. In reality, he possesses Ultimate Gravity Magic, enabling him to manipulate gravitational forces to the most extreme degrees, and Ultimate Verdant Magic, granting him mastery and absolute control over all forms of plant life. With these formidable powers at his disposal, Rayden sets forth on an ambitious mission to establish a realm where he can live freely, unencumbered by any form of scarcity or need. (Content Advisory: This narrative contains mature themes, including intense violence and yuri elements.

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

An ordinary man who want to enter the world of writing novels, trying to take part in a novel writing competition, but suddenly his soul got transmigrated into the world of novel writing contest themes.

Alchemists are a prestigious and rare profession, and to become a qualified alchemist, one must first be a wizard. Wizards themselves are a noble and scarce breed. However, when a soul filled with thoughts of AK-47, ballistic trajectories, landmines, skateboards, and other otaku concepts inhabits the body of the most humble and lowly of slaves, and this slave becomes an alchemist, it’s as if a bomb has been dropped into a lake, sending waves crashing across the world. What’s even more surprising is that this guy not only refuses to follow the ancient traditions of alchemy passed down for thousands of years but also insists on creating outlandish inventions. The water-based magic potions he creates are completely revolutionary, turning centuries of alchemical history on its head, now reduced to tiny granules instead of the usual concoctions. As for his understanding of weapons and magic, it's equally unconventional: "Well, my weapon can directly eliminate your enemies right in your home—who needs a greatsword? And my magic cannon fires hundreds of fireballs in the time it takes you to cast one fireball spell, so who needs a staff? As for potions, it’s all about convenience and portability. But the most important thing is gold, gold, because only with enough gold can you buy all the things you need!” Kent shouted as he passionately defended his creations. It all started with an accident and a contract with a magical monster...
