Stray Critique

Yan Chen never expected to die like this. One moment, he was minding his own business, thinking about the most mundane things, and the next, an accident—a stray object, a twist of fate—ended his life. But when his vision went dark, there was no peace, no grand revelation. Instead, he found himself in an endless void, facing a floating cube that spoke to him with unnatural cheer. “Welcome to the Multiverse Mission Program” it said. Without much choice, Yan Chen reluctantly agreed to follow the strange system’s instructions, completing missions seemed like the only way to pass the time. His first world was nothing like his own—a kingdom on the brink of war. Thrust into the role of a duke, he had no idea what he was doing, but something in him refused to let the world fall apart. He would solve the problem, play the part, and then move on to the next. No big deal. He wasn’t attached to anything here. But then came a person—a man with eyes that felt all too familiar. He was nothing more than an intriguing stranger, but his presence stirred something inside Yan Chen. A pull, a quiet whisper from the past, though Yan Chen could not place it. “Interesting,” the man said, studying him with a grin. “You’ve got something about you... I think I’ve seen it before.” Yan Chen laughed it off, dismissing the feeling. After all, why should he care about some random person in this world? There were bigger things to focus on. Yet, as he moved through each world, each mission, that feeling lingered. Like an itch he couldn’t scratch. And that man? He kept appearing—different every time, yet always somehow... familiar. Wandering Through Forgotten Realms, Finding You—A journey through worlds, a path of forgotten memories, and a connection that transcends time itself. Will Yan Chen uncover the secrets of his past, or is he destined to remain lost in the currents of countless worlds?

On a rainy night of July 15th, Qin Sisi brought home a shivering stray cat. Since then, her life underwent a profound change… "Come sleep with me." "No way!" "Didn't we always sleep together before?" "Back then you were just a cat." "I can still be a cat now." As the words fell, the tall figure vanished, leaving a black and sleek cat, lazily curled up at the head of the bed. Its deep, purple eyes slightly narrowed, it let out a lazy, adorable meow at her, “Meow…” Fan group: 817058766

Set in an alternate wizarding world shaped by a matriarchal society, this story reimagines the familiar backdrop of Hogwarts and its surrounding conflicts. Power is inherited through the female line, and pureblood families fiercely guard their legacy amidst growing tensions with Muggleborns. The imbalance in the number of witches and wizards has made pureblood males valuable but objectified commodities, intensifying the social and political struggles within the magical world. At the heart of the story is Arcturus Regulus Black, the reincarnated son of Regulus Black. Carrying memories of a past life, Arcturus refuses to follow in the footsteps of Holly Potter, the female equivalent of the Boy Who Lived. Instead, his ambition is to break free from the constraints of his birthright, gaining power to rewrite his destiny in a society where he is marginalized by virtue of his gender. Arcturus is not alone in his reincarnation. Ronda Weasley, the female reincarnation of Ron, and Serena Prince, the female reincarnation of Severus Snape, navigate their own struggles as they reconcile their former lives with the constraints and expectations of this matriarchal world. The group faces questions of identity, legacy, and loyalty, balancing their memories of the past with the possibilities of the present. Their journey unfolds against a backdrop of political turmoil. Holly Potter, destined to fight Voldemort, plays the central role in a fight that echoes the original timeline but is subtly altered by the presence of the reincarnated souls. Simultaneously, the enigmatic Aurora Malfoy—Draco's older sister and another reincarnated soul—must contend with her family's legacy in this transformed world. Meanwhile, Hogwarts, led by Alba Dumbledore, becomes a battleground of ideologies. Dumbledore, though a figure of wisdom, unconsciously upholds the traditions of the matriarchy, while Gellert Grindelwald rises as a voice for men’s rights, creating an additional layer of conflict. The struggle between these ideologies mirrors the broader fight against Voldemort, adding complexity to the characters’ decisions. In a story that mixes politics, societal critique, and the power of memory, the young protagonists confront questions of whether to preserve the world they now inhabit or risk everything to reshape it. Their choices will define the fate of the wizarding world, testing the limits of friendship, power, and identity in a society where nothing is as it once was. Note, this story will NOT have R18 scenes at least for the first volume, if it then does, there will be a tag and you can pass. To summarize this world, it's a matriarchal version of the Harry Potter world while the muggle world remains the same. With all this shit, there are half a dozen reincarnated people of all age (mostly Hogwarts's students) who will make butterfly effects while trying to adapt to this world, including the MC. I decided to write this book as a study, I wanted to see what would happen if I decided to create parameters according to the book and then I would try adding variables to see the changes. The result is that the world is a matriarchy which thus led me to add parameters to explain the reason as to why it's a matriarchy and then to add seven reincarnated persons who will each add butterfly effects.

In Ogun's Kingdom, gods once walked among mortals, their presence leaving echoes of power, mystery, and ambition. Now, only the masked bearers of divine blessings bridge the gap between humans and the forgotten pantheon. Thorne Ironhold, a blind boy born into the prestigious Ironhold fief, stands at a precipice. Blessed by an unknown god during the sacred mask rite, he is labeled a "Stray"—an outcast marked by powers beyond mortal comprehension. Yet beneath the shadows of his failure lies an unimaginable secret: Thorne's mask holds the power to defy the natural order. As Thorne ventures from his father's forge to the treacherous Garden of the Gods and the rigorous academy, he seeks not only to carve his own path but to uncover the truth behind his destiny. Every battle tests his limits, every limit surpassed brings him closer to the power once lost to men—and closer to the chaos lurking within. In a world where dances summon divine might and masks conceal more than they reveal, Thorne's journey becomes a quest to challenge the gods themselves. But as he walks the path they once tread, he must ask: Will he rise among the embers of forgotten legends, or be consumed by them?

Falsely accused of treason and awaiting execution, Athena Cloverfield, the former young heiress to the fallen House Cloverfield, reflects on her life to pinpoint where it all went wrong. Athena blames Iris, her stepsister, for all the bad things that happened to her, but her perspective is utterly shattered when Iris visits her in the dungeons and confesses her love for her, going so far as to declare that she would try to rescue her. The time of the execution inevitably came, and Athena was about to be executed. Just then, Iris appears and fights desperately to get to Athena, but before she can get anywhere close, Iris is defeated and is made to watch the execution from where she fell. Seeing her desperation and finally believing the genuine tears, Athena prayed to God, for the very first time in her life, for a second chance to make amends. As if God himself had answered the prayer, Athena miraculously finds herself back in time on the same day Iris arrives at her home in the Cloverfield mansion. Seizing the chance, Athena resolves herself to be the best stepsister she could imagine herself to be, but the memories from the past timelines haunt her constantly, causing her to react negatively and straying down the same path as before. When eventually cornered into the fateful tea party, Athena, in a moment of vulnerability, confessed her inner fears of how Iris could once again ruin her life despite her trying her best to make amends. Perhaps due to an accidental but fortunate choice of words, Iris misunderstood Athena and was completely charmed by her. To Athena’s amazement, Iris swore to Athena on the spot that she would be her loyal and loving sister who would protect her from the world. And in the days after, Athena and Iris enjoyed a loving and caring relationship, just as Athena hoped to have. But fate had it out for Athena, and to her horror, the events that led to her execution started occurring once more when she got enrolled into the kingdom’s royal academy alongside Iris in this timeline. Thanks to the first of those dreadful events, she got involved with the crown prince, the same man who ordered her execution in the previous timeline, and somehow attracted his attention. To make things worse, as the days passed and Athena, for some reason, started to gain popularity amongst her peers, Iris became more obsessive and overprotective towards Athena, causing various scandalous rumours to rise and leading to both troublesome and amusing incidents. But unbeknownst to Athena and Iris, a sinister figure seeks to tear their relationship apart and eventually lead Athena down the path of doom…

I appreciate you reading my book "Pokémon: Last Quake". To start, I want to outline a few points and establish some rules that I will adhere to throughout the writing process: System: The main character (MC) will not be provided with any system, ensuring that all achievements are earned through effort rather than given due to external factors. Additionally, there will be no levels, signifying that growth is achieved through experience, not predetermined by numbers. Ships: The narrative will not be heavily centered on romance; however, if it does emerge, there will be just one canonical partner for the main character. Comments: Ideas and critiques are welcome as they help maintain focus. Please feel free to share them, and if they are incorporated, the contributor's name will be acknowledged at the chapter's conclusion. Lemons: There will be no on-screen lemons, I will be only providing brief descriptions before cutting to the next part of the story. Embark on a tale of transformation from weakness to strength, centered around a young man's adventure in the Pokémon universe. Thank you for being part of this journey, and I hope you enjoy the experience. By Mugen Strife

The Isekai genre often highlights the fantastical adventures of male protagonists endowed with superhuman strength and surrounded by adoring companions. However, an alternative narrative focuses on the plight of "strays"—individuals transported from Earth who struggle to survive in a hostile environment where they are regarded as mere commodities, goods, or even trash. This perspective challenges the traditional heroic framework by emphasizing themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and resilience. Unlike the empowered heroes who dominate conventional Isekai tales, these strays navigate a world that is indifferent or outright antagonistic to their existence, thereby offering a critical commentary on issues of marginalization and the human condition. This nuanced portrayal underscores the harsh realities and ethical dilemmas faced by those who find themselves displaced and devalued in an unfamiliar and often unforgiving realm.

*Slow-Burn, Progression-Fantasy* I have added the number of words beside the chapter name, so divide it by 1.5k and take the quotient as the number of chapters released in mass. Synopsis: The World is currently in the Kali Yuga, the fourth and final era before its renewal. With corruption slowly tainting their fabric of existence, degrading their morals as they stumbled through the ages, humanity now awaits its purification at the hands of divine entities. Will they fight back? Or accept their Eradication? Dhruva, who arrived at a Gurukul, oblivious of his roots to the mystic world, found himself caught in the crossfire of an eternal conflict between Devatas and Asuras. Having his view of this world suddenly turned upside down, he now has to rearrange his priorities and swiftly adapt to the new deadly environment with only three lives in hand. But fate has different things in mind. Setting its wheels in motion, seven young bloods from prominent ancient families were suddenly selected, in a secret plot to preserve humanity. Trying to find balance between defending the World from the Asuras below and being a canon fodder for the higher beings and Devatas above, humanity now has to bide for time, so that it can accumulate enough power by delving into the dungeons guarded by Temples. Where does the end of this journey lie? And who should they even fight against? They must now wade through a perilous journey filled with sacrifices and helplessness, struggling to keep their loved ones safe in a world that's falling apart. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This story will take time to pick up its pace, with the starting arcs meant for establishing the world and its systems, having action sprinkled between slices of academy life, little bit of romance and a whole lot of training. At this moment in time, there's about 210k(will be updated continuously) words in total, so it will provide a good enough binge for a night. I'm looking forward to your comments and critiques, so I hope you have fun reading my story. Thanks for your time. Updates: Probably every three days. Sometimes the juices flow naturally, and sometimes I need to squeeze my emotions hard enough. But they will usually have more than 4k words considering the recent trend. Disclaimer: This work is like my zeroth draft to finalize the structure of the story I have thought about. I was hoping to get feedback along the journey but well... Later things will be made much more concise and will start at a different point in subsequent drafts. Thanks to those who are willing to see how this world shapes up.

THE MOST ORDINARY OF AN EPISODE A short story

Being the author of the breakout novel, Gates of The Primordials, Jarren Fletcher did not care about the constant critiques claiming he had a habit of treating extra characters as mere plot devices, creating and then dumping them once they’d served their purpose. To Jarren, it didn’t matter. Extras were just that—extras. All that mattered was the main character. But Jarren never expected to wake up in his own story, reincarnated as one of the meaningless, disposable extra characters, Deremiah Morcant—a coward who took his own life to escape the perilous challenges of the Gate Trials. Now, Jarren has to face those deadly challenges himself in the body of a weak, insignificant extra. He must find a way to survive in the rules of the dangerous world he had created, whilst also trying to save it. But time is running out. The next Wave is coming, and so are the paragons.

In every action lies a hidden meaning while commitment and process lays foundations of intent filled with motives.

One dying individual from the real world gets his soul transported to the parallel world and possessed a young teenager named Louie Quan Crowley.

In a world far larger than Earth, a cataclysmic event reshapes reality when mysterious towers appear across the continents. These towers, teeming with deadly creatures from other realms, open gateways for beings to emerge—creatures that can only leave their towers for 10 minutes at a time and cannot stray more than 10 feet from them. The appearance of these towers brings both chaos and opportunity. Great treasures, skills, and hidden knowledge lie within, but they come with a price. The world's balance teeters on the edge as these creatures wreak havoc on the land. The protagonist, a dedicated engineer, has spent years preparing for his dream job, only for the emergence of the towers to shatter his carefully laid plans. The once-predictable world is now unpredictable, and the protagonist finds himself thrust into a reality that no one could have foreseen. Along with the towers, adventurers—people who have awakened new traits and abilities—begin to appear. The protagonist, driven by frustration and a thirst for control, decides to forge his own path as an adventurer. With the knowledge he has from his engineering background and the systems granted by the towers, he embarks on a journey to explore the dungeons within the towers, uncover their treasures, and perhaps discover the means to restore order to the world. But the towers are not just a physical challenge—they are tied to the very fabric of reality itself. The protagonist must navigate not only the dangers of otherworldly creatures but also the increasingly fragmented political, geographical, and social conditions that arise from the towers’ presence. Each tower is a world unto itself, with creatures, treasures, and mysteries unique to each, and as the protagonist journeys deeper into these realms, he begins to understand that the towers might hold the key to saving—or destroying—the world. With new skills, powerful allies, and the weight of a crumbling world on his shoulders, the protagonist's quest is clear: survive, adapt, and find a way to confront the strange new system that governs this twisted reality. However, as his power grows, so too does the complexity of the world around him, and the lines between friend and foe blur. The towers’ true purpose is hidden deep within their foundations, and unlocking their secrets may be the only way to reverse the cataclysm—but will the protagonist be able to master the system before it's too late? *Towers of the Awakening* is a thrilling blend of RPG mechanics, world-building, and character development, exploring the tension between order and chaos in a world on the brink of collapse.

Long time ago, God was lonely. He sat alone in an empty house high above tending to the matters of the; heavens, earth and the underworld. One day he as he was working, a stray cat appeared. The cat pitied God seeing that he was all alone and decided to stay. Soon, God had an idea. He decided to throw a banquet and invite the creatures of earth. He wrote letters and scattered them from his window. Alas, only twelve animals honored the invitation; the rat, the ox, the tiger, the rabbit, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the sheep, the monkey, the rooster, the dog and the pig. Feeling very excited God decided to gift each animal handsomely. To some he gave wealth, to others wisdom and good fortune but when it came to the snake, he made him immortal because he was such a beautiful creature. All animals returned back to their abodes but it became a tradition to visit God yearly. Year after year, decade after decade, all the animals began to die one after the other except the snake. Soon he was the only one remaining of the thirteen. God noticed his suffering but unfortunately didn't know how to take back the gift decided to add another gift to at least ease his suffering; giving him the chance to take up human form as long as he didn't come in contact with a female being or exerts too much of his energy. Thus the snake made his way to dwell with the humans as a hermit ever young and ever lonely. He still visited God yearly as he was God's only companion now. Unfortunately, he fell in love with a human female child. What would he do? What would become the fate of the snake?
