Horan Beat Competition

This is a world where music isn’t just sound, it’s power. The gods created humans and blessed them with energy called Vibes. With it, they could harness the power of music, shape it, bend it. That gift earned them the name “The Blessed.” Sounds beautiful, right? Like some fairytale? Yeah... no. This world’s messed up. While the gods were out creating humans, the demons were doing their own thing in the shadows. They made people too. Gave them Vibes... but at a cost. The demons fed off them, stealing their life little by little. Stealing from the power that they gave them. The people they created didn’t live long. So the world called them “The Cursed.” Naturally, the Blessed hated the Cursed. And since the Blessed outnumbered them, the Cursed were pushed to the edge, isolated, bullied. Lyra was born into one of those cursed bloodlines. But unlike her family, who spent their lives trying to break the curse, Lyra didn’t want to run from it. She wanted to use it. Twist it. Make it her weapon. Together with her crew of cursed misfits, she’s fighting to survive in a world that was never meant for them. They’ve been dealt a bad hand. Now they’re flipping the table. 

I who was a novel reader transferred to another world. I'm a minor villain, but my beating was already over. With that my peaceful life awaits... or so I thought.

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.

One-line summary: The female lead has a beautiful appearance and seemingly warm personality, but is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her. This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read: 1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly. It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them. (This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!) 2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2. The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him. 3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality. Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced). Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time. Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts. 4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend). 5.

When university student Theo Ramirez has a chance run-in with Officer Mara Delaney, a solitary and sharp-witted policewoman with a past she keeps tightly guarded, neither expects the encounter to spark an unlikely, age-gap friendship that reshapes both their lives. Set against the backdrop of a tense campus protest, institutional scrutiny, and public misinterpretation, Parallel Lines explores the fragile space between trust and assumption, intimacy and visibility. As Theo navigates accusations, alienation, and the weight of being “too close” to someone like Mara, the two form a bond that defies categorization—one forged not by romance, but by mutual recognition in a world that prefers simpler narratives. When whispers swell into hearings and headlines, both must decide how much they’re willing to risk to remain part of each other’s lives. Spanning years, careers, and quiet acts of devotion, Parallel Lines is a story about the quiet heroism of platonic love, the resilience of chosen connection, and what it means to stand beside someone—especially when the world tells you not to.

In a future where all pornography is banned and self-pleasure is a crime, one young man must master the ancient, forbidden martial art of Gooning to avenge his father… one stroke at a time. Ben Dover never asked for this life. He was just a kid trying to survive in a repressed society ruled by the iron grip of the Purity Act—a global initiative that erased all erotic media and punished pleasure with prison or death. But when his father, a secret archivist of lost smut, is murdered by the shadowy martial sect known as the High Goon Council, Ben discovers a hidden world beneath society’s squeaky-clean surface. A world of underground tape traders, cultivators of carnal energy, and monks who edge for enlightenment. With the help of his disgraced grandfather—a retired Gooner master—Ben begins training in the ancient art of shame-fueled martial arts, where power is built through discipline, edging, and denial. But during a high-risk meditative ritual, Ben unlocks the mythical Infinite Edging Technique, granting him the ability to hold back for eternity... and double his power with every moment of restraint. Now, with a roll of tissues in one hand and vengeance in his heart, Ben must rise through the ranks of the Gooner Cultivation World, face off against chastity zealots and lust-obsessed warlords, and uncover the secrets of his father’s death—before the final climax of war erupts across the world. This is not a parody. This is not a joke. This is Gooning. Taken seriously.

Welcome to the Saint Morrow Sect—a prestigious place where Arin’s official job is to get punched. Repeatedly. Daily. Professionally. But surprise! Every blow makes him stronger. Literally. Thanks to a system that rewards suffering, Arin's path to power is paved with bruises, sarcasm, and the occasional near-death experience. Oh, and did we mention there’s a spy girl with murder in her eyes who might also be his biggest fan? This is the story of a man who found enlightenment not through meditation, but through becoming the sect’s most annoying masochist. Because sometimes, to break the heavens, you’ve gotta get broken first.
