Competitive Programming Topcoder

“A soldier drafted into a war he never chose.” “The galaxy’s deadliest program just chose him.”

Kotarō Nozomi is fluent in English—but not in speaking. Not in front of others. Quiet, observant, and chronically self-edited, he’s somehow drafted into his class’s English Debate Competition… and has no idea how to say no. Paired with Haruka—a bold, expressive club member—and Watanabe, who barely tries, Kotarō finds himself stuck between silence and expectation. At first, standing at the podium feels impossible. But when the tournament begins and he finally opens his mouth… something changes. From makeshift practice rooms to official matches, Kotarō starts to learn how to speak under pressure, how to argue with purpose—and how language can connect more than it divides. A slow-burn, grounded school drama about anxiety, competitive debate, unexpected growth, and the people who force us to speak—whether we’re ready or not.

Magic is the programming language of the world. But in a fantasy world, nobody has ever heard about programming. That is, nobody except Aurea. Formerly known as Aurora, she was reborn with all the knowledge she brought from Earth. She spent the 40 years of her previous life studying society, science, programming, hermetism, mythology, and alchemy. She died financially broke and emotionally broken, but all her accumulated knowledge and her nerdiness are about to pay off. She starts her life as the daughter of a slave, set against impossible odds from the beginning. But if incantations work as a programming language, then she knows exactly what to do to turn the tables. Words and syntax were the bread and butter of her former life, and material components look more like APIs and plugins. She didn’t meet a Goddess, wasn’t summoned like a hero, didn’t have a System giving her an ability. Instead, she was just dropped there to fend for herself. But with her knowledge, she doesn’t need a cheat skill. She is the cheat herself. Discord https://discord.gg/rrFNCtvCHZ ::: Update Schedule is according to my time, which means Brazil Time (GMT -03). I wouldn’t be able to keep track of all timezones and the ever-floating Summer Saving Times and stuff, so you can either calculate it to your timezone, or just get used, because it won’t be changing for some time (I hope never, actually). I’m keeping some stockpiled chapters and always getting the posts scheduled, and any unforeseen circumstances will be explained in time. Every day: 09 AM and 04 PM (BRT, which is GMT -03) ::: What NOT to expect in this novel: - Explicit sex content - Depiction of slavery in any “good side” or “positive light”. Slavery is Evil, period. - The MC to enter a straight relationship - Harem - NTR - Any form of race superiority or inferiority discourse - Sexism - Random banter about food or entire chapters dedicated to food (I mean, I love food as much as anyone else, I’m just too tired of every single isekai novel having entire chapters describing food) What TO expect in this novel: - A slowburn story - Brain beats brawn - Action scenes, though they aren’t the first focus - The MC may enter romantic relationships, but they take more of a backstage role - People trying to live healthy polyamorous relationships. They might succeed or fail, but the important thing is that this isn’t about one person taking center stage and everyone else worshipping them - Sex might be mentioned or implied, but never more than that - Sometimes the characters might use strong language - Sadism - No, really. Sadism. Aurea might be originally a 40-year-old from Earth, but a child's brain is a child's brain, and very susceptible to trauma. The roughness of the environment of her upbringing might warp her personality a bit. This isn’t to say that she will be down a villainess path. She will just have some pleasure in making evil people suffer. Think Yae Miko in her character demo, “Anecdote of a Divine Kitsune Guuji”, you can find it on YouTube. It’s that kind of “ludic sadism”. - I’m not really sure on the level of… description of those scenes, yet. I think that when I get close to that, I’ll put up a poll to see your thoughts on the matter. It will take some time to get there, though.

Short Introduction: In an elite private high school where grades determine everything, 17-year-old Adrian Vale is the unshakable top student. Known for his calm, composed personality and breathtaking looks, he has only one thorn in his side—Rowan Blackwood.

But as the trials begin and the veil starts to tear, they uncover a system built not to protect the world… but to replace it. Through AI-bound suits known as AVUs, the recruits are forced to evolve—mentally, physically, and morally—as each simulation pulls them deeper into a game of control, surveillance, and war.

Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real.

Hey everyone! I’m excited to share the first volume of my original light novel series: Bits of Love, Lines of Code – Volume 1 Genre: Romance Slice of Life Tech/Programming Slow Burn Light Novel-style Summary: Ren Takahashi, a shy, hoodie-wearing tech genius, hides behind the online alias GhostHood — a quiet legend in underground hackathons.

Enter Aoi Hoshizaki, a bold, gal-style girl with a love for code, a messy room, and a mysterious spark. When she moves in next door and discovers Ren's secret, their world begins to change — from quiet club meetings to national hackathons, late-night debugging sessions to secret rooftop conversations.

Together, they aim for Japan’s most elite tech university — and face rivalries, rumors, and the whisper of love in every line of code.

It doesn’t crash. It refuses. It rewrites. And it remembers. Quantum Reboot is a darkly funny, philosophical sci-fi about bugs with personalities, machines with existential crises, and a team on the edge of digital collapse.
