Elias Kane is the undisputed top operative of the Trash Trope Intervention Division, a covert agency that exists to dismantle the most outrageously toxic, over-the-top romance plots by seducing and systematically dismantling the worst offenders. He's left a trail of broken egos so long that the list of women he's ruined could wrap around a luxury skyscraper. Retirement was finally within reach—one last mission to close out his legendary career. Then the division decided his finale deserved "nightmare difficulty." This world is a glittering matriarchy where women command absolute power: they own the corporations, dictate the laws, and treat breathtakingly beautiful young men as prized possessions—sponsored, displayed, traded, and discarded when the novelty fades. Every target Elias faces here is a virtuoso of manipulation, capable of switching from velvet tenderness to razor cruelty in the blink of an eye. The flip risk is catastrophic. One wrong move and he's not just out—he's obliterated. Elias stared at the mission brief for a long moment. Then he shrugged. Fine. If they're raising the stakes, he'll raise them higher. He's going to make every last queen crawl before he's done collecting his pension. So tell me, sweetheart— Are you willing to be my good little dog? You only get to answer "Yes" or "Woof." Good Dogs don't say "No." Extra Tags: Matriarchal World, Absued Main Character, Cold Main Character, Physically Weak Main character, etc.

A throne is more than just a seat—it is the embodiment of power, control, and destiny. It is a symbol of authority, conferring dominion over those who kneel before it. But a throne is never freely given; it must be earned, taken, or fought for. And in the pursuit of such power, men become monsters, kingdoms fall, and history is written in blood. There are many thrones, each tied to a different force, each carrying a different kind of power. Some rule over nations, others over realms unseen. Some are forged by divine right, others by sheer will and conquest. But one truth remains constant—no throne is ever empty for long. What happens when people desire it? Wars ignite. Betrayals are born. Bloodlines are erased. Those who reach for a throne must be willing to pay the price, for it does not grant power freely—it demands sacrifice. And yet, the hunger for power is eternal. So the question is not who will sit upon the throne. The question is—who will survive it? In a world born from dreams and ruled by desire, Karma, a mysterious child of unknown origin, is taken in by empathy — a single act of kindness that quietly alters the fate of many. The Throneverse is an age-old realm where hundreds of kings and kingdoms rise and fall like nations in an endless cycle of dominance and decay. From the shadows, secret societies and divine architects shape history, binding humanity to an unbreakable fate. As Karma grows, he begins to question the laws that govern this world: love without salvation, power without meaning, and the dream of a perfect world where every desire can thrive. But to reach it, he must confront what humanity fears the most — not monsters or gods, but the truths of their own hearts. And so, one question echoes across time: > Can a world built on desire survive the very dreams that created it?

​The world is not as you know it. Hidden beneath the surface of everyday life-from the luxurious corridors of South African palaces to the quiet banality of a local high school named Milner-a secret war is being waged by ancient royal bloodlines and primordial demonic forces. ​Enter Hakuna, a young prince of the mighty Letebele Clan. Gifted with phenomenal power and burdened by the spirit of a ten-thousand-year-old entity named Psycha, Hakuna is expected to carry the weight of his legacy. But all he really wants is to navigate his confusing High School years, keep up with his superhuman friends, and maybe-just maybe-avoid permanently breaking reality during a casual confrontation. ​ ​As the lines between domestic squabbles, royal duty, and world-ending chaos blur, Hakuna must grapple with the shocking power he inherited from his father yet still doesn't fully understand. When his personal life collides with the war-leaving his loved ones suddenly vulnerable-Hakuna will be forced to unleash a level of destruction that could save his world or reduce it to ashes. ​The greatest danger to the world is not the darkness it hides, but the sheer, reckless power of the boy determined to protect the only people he cares about.

Evelyn had always been there, close enough to feel familiar, close enough to feel safe. He never questioned it. He never thought he needed to. Once, he had naïvely believed that calling her his sister would be enough to keep certain lines from being crossed.
