Rengoku Overrated

Hazuki Hyuna has always thrived on routine. Predictability is her comfort, a steady rhythm she relies on, savoring the certainty of knowing exactly what lies ahead-even indulging in the occasional spoiler. Love, to her, is an overrated, messy affair, the kind that shatters the peaceful quiet she's built around herself. But lately, her days have started to feel a bit too still, a touch too empty...though she'd never admit it. Change isn't something she's looking for. But her impossibly beautiful neighbor seems to have other plans, shaking up her routine with unexpected visits and unusual requests. It's everything she never wanted, yet somehow, it's already too late to pull back.

Meet Yoon mi-ra, a 21year-old college student who's convinced that romance is completely overrated. While her friends swoon over cheesy love dramas and dreamy webtoon heroes, mi-ra spends her tine devouring mystery novels and working part-time at her family's flower shop. She's practical, down-to-earth and has zero time for love- until an unexpected twist of fate turns her life upside down....

In a world where humans and demi-humans coexist in harmony, Rengoku Muhei has lived his life in the shadow of his older brother, the revered Wolf Blood Alpha. But when an unstoppable threat arises, one that could bring his brother's reign to an end, Rengoku realizes his moment has come. To prepare for a future where he may need to assume his brother's role, he must train relentlessly, rising through the grueling ranks of the Hunter Society to unlock his hidden Lunar power. On this path, Rengoku encounters allies and adversaries alike, each shaping his journey toward the Alpha's throne. *** The sound of the blade caressing swished through the air as Rengoku tossed the cut blade into the air and letting it fall back into his palm. "Huh?... Rengo..." Taro let out a surprising gasp, he wasn't sure what he had in mind but in that split second, he realized that Rengoku had an aura of calmness surrounding him. "If only you were a lot less bloodthirsty... Tatsuya". Rengoku continued. "Really... Tell me brat, what do you intend to do with that broken blade?" Tatsuya replied. "Oh this is going right through your chest..." Ren assured as he used the blade to physically draw a imaginary line that corresponded with the scar that ran through Tatsuya's face. "Don't make me laugh... Idiot," Tatsuya sneered, a sneer that Ren found oddly disconcerting. "I wasn't trying to," Ren replied, his voice calm despite the tension. He shifted his hand away from Tatsuya’s frame, his fingers curling around the broken blade - a weapon that was now his only hope. With a calculated flick, the blade was launched skyward, its trajectory tracing a deadly arc directly above Tatsuya. A slight forward and backward movement of his wrist helped him gauge the distance, and with a burst of determination, Ren propelled the blade with all his might. "Huh?" Taro gasped, his eyes widening in shock as he watched the spectacle unfold. "You missed... Brat!" Tatsuya taunted, a sneer returning to his lips. "Are you sure about that?" Ren replied, his voice low and steady. In that split second, as the blade whistled through the air, Ren's mind raced. 'Did I miss? If it goes according to plan, I'll be able to do what he taught... Yes, I think I can pull it off now. Activate the technique and release it immediately, so I don't destroy too much unintentionally.' 'One...' he steadied himself, his fist poised like a spear, ready to strike. 'Two...' 'Three...' The clanging sound of metal against rock echoed through the night, a violent symphony of force and resistance. With his eye, Ren caught the spark caused by the collision, a brief flash that ignited his next move. He took off with great speed, the wind whistling past him as he closed the distance between him and Tatsuya. Tatsuya, saw Rengoku's approach and prepared himself for the impending attack. But he was unaware of the blade that had deflected off the boulder, hurtling straight toward his back. The blade pierced deep into his right shoulder blade, a searing pain that disoriented him and shattered his focus. As he reeled from the unexpected strike, Ren's attack was already in motion. "Tsuki Jutsu," Ren intoned, his voice low and commanding. "Akai Satsu."

Synopsis: Ayla thought love was overrated—until a rainstorm brought Caden into her life. He’s charming, persistent, and seems determined to break through her carefully built walls. But with emotional scars from her past and a habit of keeping people at a distance, Ayla isn’t sure she’s ready to let anyone in. Caden has his own baggage—a broken family, a nosy sister, and a knack for making everything more complicated. But the more time he spends with Ayla, the more he realizes she might be exactly what he’s been searching for. As the rain keeps falling, misunderstandings and unexpected events push them closer—and further apart. Can they weather the storm together, or will their insecurities and past mistakes tear them apart? In a story where love grows slowly, but deeply, Whispers of the Rain explores second chances, personal growth, and finding hope even on the cloudiest days.

Cyndra spent most of her life wondering why did it had to be her? She keeps asking the Moon Goddess why did she even grant her the power when she can’t even use it? For Cyndra, what she has was not a gift but a curse she had to keep running away from. And now, someone found her and all she could do was submit or her life would be in danger, just like how it did when she was little. Growing up, Clyden had always been keen to making sure that his pack would always come first. No matter how hard the circumstances may present, he would always find a way to make sure that his people are well taken care of. When he finally turned eighteen, everyone thought he would find his better half, but ten years has passed and Clyden had already given up on finding her. He grew up fierce and stern. His decisions are always regarded by many and as his pack rises to power, so does the problems he encounters. The world has already accepted that aside from human beings, other supernatural creatures have risen and lived amongst them. As everyone wanted peace, a union and understanding was made amongst all creatures to which, no one is allowed to harm each other and to always follow the law set by the leaders of different species. Peace among creatures of the dark and the human race were maintained and everyone was free to live a life as normal and they could. But then again, peace is just overrated. One would always crave for greater power. A type of power that inflicts fear, a type of power that is equally dangerous for the human kind and those of who are immortal.

Had she known that what he had told her before was the one line that would have saved her love life, she wouldn't have undergone all the pain and injustice she faced.

Lianne, a socially awkward girl due to her Asperger's, had never been in love before. She just found 'love' to be something overrated and troublesome. Boys were too troublesome. She just liked living a normal, low-key life. Away from the scheming of people and to just live the way she wanted. By herself. However, what would she do when she meets someone who decides that he wants - very much - to have her in his life? Though he is everything she wanted in a guy, he was also one that had everything she did NOT want in a guy: scheming, troublesome family and flocks of women wanting to bed him. Exactly the type of life she hates and has always been avoiding. What should she do? Did she have the courage to love him anyway? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kai, the typical rich and playful CEO couldn't help but be fascinated by the woman he came across by chance at the airport. There was just something about her that caught his eye and he fell in love at first sight. Kai was used to women flinging themselves at him due to his power and money, even though he was often mocked for his looks. It wasn't because he was ugly. On the contrary. He was beautiful, far more than most women. He had always been surrounded by scheming people and he had never thought of finding anyone in his life. He held people at bay, he schemed against them to protect himself and he used them to get what he wanted. Love? An alien concept. So when he fell, he fell hard. But what is he to do when the one person he does want, doesn't want anything to do with him? He can tell she has feelings for him but she just didn't want to get entangled with him. Could he convince her to give him a chance, to show her how he can love and dote on her? To let her open her heart and take the chance. Did he have what it takes to give her the courage to love? NOTE: There is a 2nd ML and a 2nd FL as well. Most seem to like them more than the MCs. hahaha!!

Many girls adore basketball player, volleyball player, and taekwondo player, but in my case I fall in love to a football player, and I assumed he won’t hurt me but I overrated it.

Talent... Is it overrated ? Prophecy... Is it always come true ? Love... Is it worth to sacrifice ? Herewith is a story in a world where power rules over money, and as we all know money rules over... mostly everything. "The oldest can breath fire, the youngest controls liquid. But the middle ? She seems a Zero to me. Talentless. Let us not wonder upon it anymore." Mary Anne tells the truth. "No. I believe she is underdeveloped. She can stay here." Somehow I feel Mary Anne is underestimating the Alburtus lineage. "Underdeveloped, is something you to tell a 10 year old kid when he/she hasn't fully control his/her power yet. Or to a 6 year old when the crystal only resonates. But she is not all of that. First, she is 16 turning 17. Second, she did not respond to any magic nor any magic respond to her." Mary Anne continues. "She can stay." I think there is more to her. I just can't point what. It's just Alburtus lines always possess strong magical power. The fact that, Athalia and Brandon manage to hide their children's magic even long after their death, is a miracle. So, to have a Zero in Alburtus line, something must have gone wrong. ...................................................................... Join Joyce, a young girl in a journey she must take to find the truth about herself in a world that not as she thought it is. A journey where the true bond can't never be broken once forged. "Am I still Joyce? Or am I also a lie to complete a lie?" - Joyce.

The person whom the world revolves around. The person who defeats all of his opponents, and ultimately gets the beautiful girl. The sole existence all villains fear. That is the protagonist. What about me? As a failed author who had only one success throughout his whole career, I had reincarnated into my late novel. "This is it" I thought, as I tightly clenched my fist. Did I just get reincarnated in my own novel? Is this where I reincarnate in a novel and become the protagonist? No. Sadly it's not that kind of novel, as I reincarnated as a mob. The world doesn't revolve around me. The girls don't come flocking towards me. The cheat items don't come to me. "Phew" I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god I'm not the protagonist" I joyfully shouted as tears streamed down my cheeks. Wait, are you curious as to why I don't want to be the protagonist? I did forget to mention the most important thing when I was describing a protagonist. That is... They are calamity magnets. I just died. If I learned something from that, it's that it really isn't a pleasant experience. If possible let me live a long stable life. Thank you, whoever reincarnated me. I would later come to regret these words... ======== Reader Disclaimer : Please read the *Read before reading novel* in synopsis. ======== Credit to _oinkchan for helping me find the previous novel cover Credit to Rengoku for his amazing edit of the new cover. ======== Discord : https://discord.gg/FNAKgfyky4 Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/TheAuthorPOV

Sorin Makarov was the undisputed best player in the revolutionary VRMMORPG Astria as well as its number 1 guild-master. He crawled through the leader boards, made friends with unsavory people, started wars and created mountains of virtual corpses to be where he is. And he is successful. He has political power, money, women, and all of the other joys of life. But he has a problem, he's unhappy. Sorin sees the world in a grey monotone that only playing Astria fixes. After giving his corporate sponsors the finger to escape the confines of the guild, his building is struck by lightning, throwing him back in time before the game launched. "Worlds number 1 player and guild? Let someone else have it. I just want to enjoy Astria my way." ... Currently I am drafting up how this novel will shape so I will constantly update older chapters. A few things though. No harem 'planned'. The whole novel will focus more on the single player part of Astria and have little to do with player and even less irl conflicts. Grammar and plot hole feedback appreciated. No update schedule yet. This is purely for my enjoyment and I thought I would share with others. Enjoy

And I will show them how it’s done. I’ll be eviler than the Villainess that I should be. Before I lost my consciousness I saw a white light blinding me.

What would happen if I never fought against demons? What would happen if I didn't die fighting a demon? I won't bother imagining what could be or would have been because by the end of my life I learned so many things. I learned love, hope, peace, anger, fear, shame, pride, courage, and most of all I learned how to be.... Unbreakable.

“There once was a time when people could live a top the earth. They where selfish and not caring, and didn’t protect their gift of light and warm from their special star.
