Is A Bad Case Of Stripes Realistic

“P-Please... give me a chance. I-I like you, Mr. Kang.” In a world where humans and anthropomorphs coexist, discrimination isn’t just common—it’s an everyday reality. Yueul, a weasel anthropomorph, is drowning in debt after being deceived by his ex-boyfriend into committing illegal acts. Prejudice against anthropomorphs makes stability impossible, as he’s fired from one job after another. Then, an unexpected opportunity arises: if Yueul can work alongside Wooheon, a black mamba anthropomorph, and “fix” his abrasive personality, Wooheon’s older brother promises to pay off all of Yueul’s debts. “Thank you for the offer. I’m not sure if I can meet your standards, but I’ll do my best.” Terrified of black mambas but even more terrified of his crushing debt, Yueul reluctantly accepts. Yet on his very first day, he’s already teetering on the edge of being fired. Desperate to keep the job, Yueul blurts out a reckless lie—that he likes Wooheon and wants to stay by his side. But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own. As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex. And the room assigned to Yueul? It happens to be Wooheon’s designated “sex-only” space. “S-So if I use that room, does that mean you can’t have sex...?” “Why? Do you want to take their place?” “...If you’re okay with being with a guy... then I’m fine with it.” With Wooheon’s perfectionism driving him to collapse under extreme stress, Yueul wants to help—but definitely not like this! Still, the fear of exposing his lie about liking Wooheon keeps Yueul tangled in his own deception, desperately trying to maintain the facade. Knowing Yueul’s confession is a lie, Wooheon relentlessly pushes him further, testing how long he can endure. What started as a desperate lie to escape his debts has thrown Yueul into a chaotic power struggle. Can he survive life under the same roof with Wooheon and somehow tame his impossible personality? #BL #Fantasy #Modern #Anthropomorph Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Spicychili All right reserved.

I’m not the main character of this world. I’m just a background character—a prop placed here to fill out someone else’s story. I never wanted to get caught up in this world’s rules or its endless fights for survival. There’s no grand destiny pulling me forward, no higher calling pushing me to act. But ever since I was forced into this academy, I’ve had this sinking feeling. That promise I made to myself? The one about staying out of trouble and just surviving? I’m starting to think I won’t be able to keep it.

Harley What started as a mindless, blurted confession has turned into a mess I never saw coming—an endless spiral of emotions, tangled with Clad Storm, the bad boy of the season and my ex-crush. The one who’s made it clear he’s here for revenge, yet every time he looks at me with those damn chocolate-brown eyes, I fall deeper. The worst part? I know exactly why he’s here. To make me pay. To make me feel the sting of what happened years ago when I rejected him. But somehow, I can’t walk away. And then there’s the kicker—he made a proposal to my younger sister. But for some reason, he won’t let me go. Now, here I am, stuck between a rock and a hard place, caught in the web of New York’s most notorious biking genius and CEO. I should walk away. I should be the smart one. I should obey my parents’ wishes and do what’s expected of me. But every time he smiles, every time he touches me, I forget what I’m supposed to be doing—resisting him.

Suzy Watson, a woman of charm and elegance, has carved her own path to success that many young women could only dream of. But when her own mother becomes the root of her downfall, Suzy finds herself at a crossroads. Desperate to salvage her years of hard work, she turns to the most powerful and influential family in the business world—the Onettis. Little does she know that seeking their help will entangle her in a contract marriage with the most infamous bad boy of them all. Chris Onetti, the sole heir to the Onetti empire, is both a heartthrob and a heartbreaker. To him, love is nothing more than a game, and women are fleeting distractions, mere outlets for his desires. But beneath his playboy façade lies a heart once shattered beyond repair. When Suzy and Chris, two people from opposite worlds, are thrown together in a marriage neither of them wants, the clash is inevitable. Will their arrangement mend their hidden scars, or will fate deal them a hand neither of them expected? ~~~~ "I have satisfied countless women in this bed, even the older ones," Chris murmured with a smirk, his gaze locked onto Suzy. "Yet, you're the only one who refuses to set foot here." "That only makes me the luckiest of them all," Suzy shot back, her eyes gleaming with defiance. "Because I will never share a bed with you." Chris chuckled, the curve of his lips darkening into something more mysterious. "What if I make you beg for me to worship you?" he asked. "That will never happen," Suzy declared. Chris leaned in, his fingertips tracing an unhurried path from her forehead down to her jawline, lingering at the delicate slope of her collarbone. His breath fanned against her lips as he whispered, "Breaking down your walls will be quite fun, Suzy. I wonder how you'll sound when you moan my name with that pretty mouth of yours." ~~~~~ Story co-authored by Light_ray and Emma Wales.

A social life, maybe? Nah, he’s an anti-social whose inner monologues revolve around how humans suck. He’s the type who blames the world for his problems: edgy, angsty, emo— thinks he’s smarter than everyone and has answers for the world’s crisis. Gotta give it to him, though, he a young talent at whatever he does. His skills for programming, gaming (FPS) as well as studying makes up for the fact that he’s an arse. So much so, that he stops going to school altogether and locks himself in his room, he’d rather be with his computer. Because Arsol is on a mission! He’s been collaborating with online strangers who are all equally gamers and computer nerds, who understand him, and who all have this idea to make this steampunk/dieselpunk game called ‘Hero of Emberstein.’ Now, Arsol won’t lie, he’s obsessed. Being one of the co-creators, he finds himself adding features and details he’d want in an MMORPG. The only thing he dislikes is the customizable character features; he never understands such a personalized activity. He prefers Gacha. After 3 years, the game is finally available for beta testing, his 7 online co-creators are all ready to click the play button. But little does Arsol know, he would for real be in the game, like in person, like ISEKAI-ed, like he could die, for real for real. What's worse is, everyone who clicked the play button for the beta test, has also been Isekaied. So like, maybe over a thousand or more? Arsol thinks it’s his fault innocent players are getting transmigrated into HIS game, because he remembers that he removed the 'EXIT' button as a harmless malfunctioning prank-- turned deadly?! Oops. Journey along with Arsol as he hides his identity as the creator, the culprit, and the administrator. And that time he finds out his 6 online friends are all here as well, but where?! Who?! UGH, THIS IS WHY HE HATES CUSTOMIZABLE CHARACTERS! ( I DO, IN FACT, OWN THE COVER )
