Isaac Hargrave was a forgotten man—a brilliant but invisible IT specialist, buried in the shadows of a world that never recognized his genius. While society overlooked him, Isaac quietly honed his skills in the one place he held control: the digital realm. But when his latest creation, an unparalleled self-learning algorithm, cracks the most secure systems on the planet, he realizes his power is no longer confined to cyberspace. With this algorithm, Isaac holds the potential to control everything—money, governments, economies, and even the truth itself. As his abilities grow, so does his ambition. What begins as a desire to be seen soon evolves into a quest to reshape the world in his image, eliminating those who have wronged him and consolidating absolute control. But power comes at a cost. The deeper Isaac dives into his newfound influence, the more he loses his humanity. Old friends and allies fall away as Isaac transforms from a reclusive genius into a ruthless mastermind. The world begins to crumble under his rule, but with each step, Isaac justifies his actions as the price of progress. In a world driven by data and dominated by machines, The Algorithm of Power explores the fine line between control and chaos. As Isaac rises from obscurity to the throne of a digital empire, the question becomes: How much power can one person wield before they destroy everything—including themselves? This whole book is written by ChatGPT!

During the demon-summoning ceremony, Aiwass finally recalled his past life's memories. This should be an online game that his family's company had released and operated for six years. Now, his foster father was the leader of the latest version's antagonist organization. He would expose his identity six years later, hesitate and then defect from the protagonist's side. Ultimately, because he decided to take a fatal strike meant for the player character, he was killed by his upright older brother in a transitional CG without even a chance to enter the main content. ——But the problem was not too significant. Aiwass also knew many secret advancement routes exclusive to the player character, as well as the Nurturing Secret Sequel regulations of the various Paths. He believed he could reverse his unfortunate fate…… So now there was only one issue left. "According to the original plot, shouldn't I have been rescued by the protagonist before this lousy ceremony even began?" Tied to the ceremonial altar as a sacrifice, Aiwass fell into contemplation. —————— Keywords: Victorian Fantasy, Amber Flow

Lin is the Crown Princess of the Kingdom of Korea, but her spectacular failures earned her the nickname ‘The Princess Disaster’. Tasked with guiding her is an inexperienced English Literature teacher fresh out of university - Lee Jun, who just began his teaching career at the prestigious Royal International School of Seoul. Lin’s knack for spectacularly failing at everything precedes her and her latest antics (getting expelled from a British boarding school for punching a royal) have landed her back in Korea, much to the King's exasperation. However, despite her larger-than-life reputation, when it comes to Jun, Lin is just a young maiden at heart who is determined to charm her new teacher. For Jun, it’s a battle to maintain his professional responsibilities while Lin’s chaotic energy and secret crush threaten to derail his life and career. For Lin, it’s the ultimate shoujo-manga fantasy brought to life, with her reluctant and hilariously oblivious teacher in the starring role. Set against the elite backdrop of royal obligations and academic pressures, Princess Disaster is a lighthearted romantic comedy about clashing worlds, unexpected sparks, and the joys (and disasters) of learning, love, and growing up.
