NOTE: Vol.1-6 chapters are LONG, ~10X normal. Add ~400 chps to the actual count. When college physics student Mizuki Hakuto faces the obligatory bus-kun death of all isekai protagonists, he's brought face-to-face with a divine entity. When not mocking Mizuki, the so-called godling explains the nature of the universe – gods, godlings, mythical beasts, and more. Most importantly, magic is real. Just...not on Earth. Inspired by Earth's manga and having a penchant for drama, the godling offers him the opportunity to experience these things on a different world. The world is ruled by a strange god that treats it like a divine petri dish, and it's filled with interesting creatures the god collected from all across the universe. The god of this strange planet seems welcoming and helpful at first, but Mizuki quickly realizes that all is not as it seems in the magical world of Azura. Wielding science and newfound sorcery, Mizuki investigates the fundamental laws of magic, the nature of the divine, and more, but his progress is watched in secret by powerful forces. As he gains knowledge and power, and his darker nature is revealed, will the gods sit idly by? FAQ: Q – What's the overall tone of this story? A – It seems pretty lighthearted at first, but the trajectory of the story makes it progressively darker. I'd say the story takes itself fairly serious at times, but the characters' personalities lend to plenty of comedic dialogue. Especially in the lull between major events. Q – Isekai tropes? A – Yes. Some are leaned into, some are mocked, but most make an appearance in some form. Q – Is the MC's prior life relevant? A – Yes! The MC relies heavily on knowledge specific to Earth, and especially his science background. The MC trying to reconcile his scientific understanding from Earth with this newfound variable of magic is a major theme of the story. Q – How is the MC isekai'd? Is he reincarnated? A – In the most tropey way possible, of course. He gets hit by a bus. After dying, he's resurrected in his original body and sent to another world as an adult. Q – Is there slavery in this isekai? A – Yes, and it's not a pretty industry. However, the MC detests the slavery on Azura. The story won't shy away from the effect it has on the lives of those the MC meets. This will not be one of those stories where the MC virtue signals about how bad slavery is, but inexplicably keeps slaves of their own and it's painted as 'good' because the slaves are 'treated well'. Q – Is the MC overpowered? A – Absolutely, but this will change much later, as the story progresses. Q – Is this another self-insert isekai story? A – I certainly think it's true that the MC lacks personality early on in the series – it takes a while to learn much about his personal life on Earth or personality. We're watching an MC who seems to be a reactionary person on Earth, just going through the motions, necessarily develop more of a sense of self in a world where his actions are more consequential. Q – You tagged this as 'romance'...is there a harem? A – Yup. It takes a long time, and the harem remains quite small, but eventually it happens.

[Updates Every Sunday] ——————————————————— Title: Isekai Shop: From Lightning Strike to Shopping Spree! Genre: Comedy, Isekai, Fantasy, Adventure Synopsis: Kazuya Asano is just your average high school senior—until a freak lightning strike hits him, sending him into another world. But instead of being greeted by a traditional fantasy setting, Kazuya awakens with an unusual power: the Online Shopping system. This system allows him to buy anything, from weapons to furniture, as long as he has enough money. With no idea how to make money in this new world, Kazuya embarks on a series of comical adventures, facing challenges, gathering resources, and getting into all sorts of mishaps—mostly because he can’t resist buying the most ridiculous things. But the system has a catch: it has a mind of its own, with emotions and opinions about Kazuya’s spending habits. As the system’s quirky personality grows, it becomes an unlikely but hilariously effective partner in Kazuya’s quest to build a nation and possibly—just possibly—get some ramen. Every purchase, every quest, and every relationship Kazuya builds in this new world is a comedy of errors, all while he tries to figure out how to earn money, deal with his uncooperative system, and create the nation of his dreams. Will he become a hero, or just the guy who bought too much random stuff?

This story is a masterpiece. A true work of Art. (By me, obviously!) Honestly, I was this close to dropping it. I already did, but then I saw the data—one single, vivid reader. Just one. And you know what? Screw you. I’m going to keep writing this chaotic nightmare just so you have something to read. Updates? Every weekend. How many chapters? Who knows. One? Three? Depends on my mood. But if you’re really that one persistent reader, I guess you’ve earned this: Thank you. Truly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart. You’re the reason this story lives on.

What if your lifeline arrived signed in print, encased in a contract, and bound by policies daring you to participate—or lose all? Isla Harper is a very autonomous graphic designer just above her comfort level. She is stunned when the mysterious millionaire Noah Archer presents her with a proposal: a loveless, deliberate marriage that promises financial stability and freedom from her sinking reality. She is struggling to make ends meet. The only catch is she has to persuade his family and the globe that theirs is a love story deserving of attention. Noah developed his empire on accuracy and control. Though it wasn't part of the plan, a turn in his family's trust compels marriage. He wants a mate who won't disturb his precisely regulated existence or entwine his feelings. With her keen intelligence and relentless determination, Isla looks to be the perfect fit. But it gets more difficult to keep the lines from blurring as one approaches the altar. Isla discovers her husband is more than just his frigid attitude and unrelenting ambition as she enters Noah's glittering world of high stakes and hidden ambitions. Their carefully put on front could be destroyed by family secrets, buried scandals, and unanticipated chemistry. Every meal, every glance, every fib moves them toward a truth they are not ready for. But Isla and Noah have to choose: Are they stronger together or is the price of pretending too high too great to pay when past betrayals and unanticipated difficulties strain their brittle alliance? Trust is delicate, emotions run strong, and the stakes cannot be higher in Strangers at the Altar, a compelling story of two opposites compelled into an unusual alliance. Ideal for those yearning for strong language, scorching romance, and surprising turns that will have them gasping until the very last.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Crestfield’s ivy-covered walls and the shifting seasons of Silverbridge, this is a story of quiet connections, personal growth, and the beauty found in everyday life.

"People always told me life was about second chances, but no one ever said they’d come in the form of a wedding gone wrong. I promised my father I’d be strong, but when my best friend betrayed me and my fiancé humiliated me on what was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, I broke. I died… and woke up at the very moment everything fell apart. This time, I won’t let them ruin me. When Jaewon, my cheating fiancé, tried to drag me back into his web of lies, I made a choice that shocked everyone: I proposed to his older brother, Heeseung. The cold, enigmatic CEO who had always seemed untouchable, and the man I’d underestimated for far too long. Marrying Heeseung wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was my way of rewriting my destiny and taking control of a life that had spiraled out of my hands. What I didn’t expect was the way he looked at me—as if I was more than just a pawn in this game of revenge and redemption. As if I mattered. Now, I’m navigating a world of power, betrayal, and unspoken feelings. But one thing is clear: I’m no longer the Yuna who was crushed under the weight of heartbreak and deceit. I’m stronger, smarter, and ready to fight for the life I deserve. And if anyone—especially Jaewon—thinks they can stop me, they’re about to learn just how wrong they are. This is my second chance, and this time, I’ll make every move count."

Quod Erat Demonstrandum is a realm where the dead don’t rest—they work. In this otherworldly metropolis, reapers guide the recently deceased to the afterlife, navigating a bustling, high-end world that never sleeps. Sheng Xiao Li is new to this world, trying to make sense of it all while under the guidance of three seasoned reapers: Callum, Seo-Jun, and Sasaki. As they introduce her to the intricacies of QED, she discovers that time doesn’t flow here like it does in the living world, and each reaper's appearance and role are meticulously controlled. From processing fake identities to managing souls, the realm operates like a well-oiled machine—yet there’s a strange sense of community among its inhabitants. In QED, purpose isn’t lost after death; it’s redefined. But as Xiao Li adapts to her new life, she starts to see cracks beneath the polished surface. What happens when those who guide the dead can’t find peace themselves? And what secrets lie hidden in a company where time, life, and death are just parts of an endless cycle?

Moon Young Jae’s homophobic family considered him a disgrace and held his freedom in their clutch. Even with being obedient, he was not free from their abuse. Young Jae was almost blinded and crippled by his father when he stood up for himself for the first time. Left to bleed and die, luckily, he did have a family who wanted to save him. It was twin cousins, who were disowned long before him, who saved him. Sad and hopeless, Young Jae became curious when he met his cousins’ friend, who understood him better than anyone, even without words. Curiosity got the best of him, and he ended by handing his heart, love and soul over a plater as a price. Slowly, Young Jae fell in love with everything about and around Min Jun and eventually fell for the man. Calculative Wang Min Jun entered Young Jae’s life accidentally. He challenged Young Jae's belief with a warm smile and flipped Young Jae’s world upside down. Min Jun read Young Jae like an open book. He planned to get over the little crush he had on his seniors' cousin brother but failed miserably. Min Jun did not like the often-visited ‘frown’ between those beautiful eyebrows and even the always singing of ‘sigh’ through those sinful lips. Min Jun made it his mission to change it only to fall for everything about Young Jae. Wang Min Jun carried his share of baggage, but he was well-prepared to meet the demons from the past head-on. But Young Jae became a mess whenever his past demons decided to pay a visit. He realised he did not have to face anything alone as he has a wonderful boyfriend who cherishes everything about him. Both faced their past demons and trauma together. When a person betrayed by a family fell in love with a person who holds his family above everything, sparks flew, and hearts soared in happiness. Will their story has a harmonious bell, or would it be a sea of misery? Teaser: Files were shattered all over Min Jun’s bed, and his laptop was placed on the bedside table. It chimed once in a while, indicating a new email for him to check. The work was piling more and more as he was diligently finishing it. Young Jae walked into his boyfriend’s bedroom to witness his handsome lover working hard. "Jun Jun! Are you busy?" Even though Young Jae did not want to disturb his lover, he knew he needed some help to impress his boss. "Never for you, love. Tell you what you need?" Min Jun did not lift his head from the file he was going through, but the warmth in his voice reached Young Jae's heart without fail. "Do you have a minute to help me in reviewing my monthly internship report? I have to present to our boss tomorrow morning." Young Jae pouted as he asked. Min Ju looked at his adorable tokki and smiled mischievously. "You are brave, asking your superior to help you sneakily. I can't do it for free. I need a huge bribe to help you. What are you planning to offer?" "Be serious. You have too much work to do." Young Jae chided his shameless boyfriend, who never failed to seize every opportunity to make him moan and groan as he takes him to the pleasurable heaven. "Exactly. I have too much work to do. If I am taking my time to help you, I need something in return. Something so tempting that I don’t mind cramping lots of things later." Min Jun smiled like a devil he was as he grabbed Young Jae towards him. The little rabbit who fell into the cunning wolf's lap did not even get a chance to protest as he was devoured breathlessly. Young Jae forgot why he entered the wolf's lair altogether. Min Jun pushed the files away to make space for his little rabbit to lay down comfortably. Young Jae’s report was long forgotten as a treacherous hand started to caress him again under the shirt as a sinful sound filled the room.

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper. Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But the white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?
