After an unexpected accident, a top-tier streamer known for speedrunning games wakes up in the body of Kazuya Kinoshita, the hopeless protagonist of a romance anime he instantly labels as “absolute trash.” Armed with nothing but a sharp tongue, quick wit, and a strategist’s mindset, he decides there’s only one logical move: Speedrun the entire story and get out as fast as possible. Instead of following the painfully slow, misunderstanding-filled canon of Rent-A-Girlfriend, this new “Kazuya” breaks every rule. He refuses to simp, calls people out to their faces, and dismantles forced relationships with brutal honesty. His words cut deep - often intentionally - leaving emotional fallout in his wake. From confronting his manipulative ex Mami Nanami, to rejecting artificial connections and exposing uncomfortable truths, he treats reality like a game: skipping “cutscenes,” triggering key events, and optimizing every interaction for the fastest possible ending. But not everything can be speedrun. As he grows closer to Chizuru Mizuhara, a girl hiding her true self behind a perfect façade, he begins to realize that real emotions don’t follow scripts - and that his own past has made him more broken than he thought. What starts as a cynical attempt to “clear a bad story” turns into something far more personal: A journey about honesty, consequences, and learning when to stop treating life like a game. In a world built on fake relationships, can someone who only knows how to break things learn how to truly connect?

Reborn as General Zod, who was about to be exiled after the failed coup, he was powerless to save Krypton from destruction. In order to change his fate of having his neck broken by Superman, the son of the DC Universe, in the future, Zod plans to find a place with the sun and live there peacefully. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Worlds Roulette System would be activated at this time. At the beginning, he would obtain the complete inheritance of the Emperor's Scripture of the Holy Emperor of the Sun, and he could also obtain the number of roulette draws by triggering tasks. The first time he drew, he got the sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies. Even without solar radiation, he could still unlock the super talents of Kryptonians. So Zod decisively changed his goal. He planned to arrive on Earth in advance, retrieve the Codex of Life from Superman, use the Creation Chamber technology to mass-produce Kryptonians, and gradually rebuild a new Krypton. As he continued to complete tasks and gain more draws from the Wheel of All Worlds, Zod also gained more treasures and abilities. From the energy crystals that can give life to planets in Armor Hero Xingtian, to the seeds of the Tree of Life in Ultraman Orb, or the dimensional wall that can travel through parallel time and space at will in Kamen Rider Decade... He found the super Kryptonian Hale, defeated Superman, improved and upgraded the Kryptonian genes, and then he had a group of super Kryptonian warriors who had no weaknesses and were powerful enough to rival gods. From then on, the name of New Krypton resounded throughout the multiverse and even in all the heavens and worlds. -------------------------------- 40 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!

"I am a member of the Disciplinary Committee! I came here after receiving a report. Please do not resist in vain... Dear ladies, how many times have I told you, please do not interfere with our work as Disciplinary Committee members?" The girl named Shirai Kuroko opened her mouth and sighed helplessly.

Terra II, a world split into vast planes, where deserts stretch ceaselessly and horrors—roamed without rest. It is a land scarred by self made nightmares that never fade. The Common Era, where the concept of happiness has been abandoned. No story begins with joy, and none end with peace. One mistake—a misplaced word, a fleeting gesture—is all that it took. Strength was never the problem. You survived long enough to know that looking strong, feeling strong, and being strong are three different lies people tell themselves to keep moving. Terra is heavy. The roads are long and boundless like the deserts. And family...family—that has been stripped away. Once? Twice? no, Thrice? You’ve walked. You’ve run. You’ve shot at everything. You've seen your friends perish away, your self-made family rotting away, and how do you cover it? By carrying a carload of supplies through every kind of conceivable catastrophe. ———————— I'm pretty nervous how this version will be received and since i went for both magic and a modern setting. I'm not really good as creating things so i took inspiration from some well known media, so if it seems familiar, i tried as best i could to make it my own. but idk. Lets see, it starts to pick up the pace slowly. It's a slow born sort of thing. short ass rant, lol. Kristen out, peace.

In modern Estmere, where supply lines fracture, coastlines fail, and old certainties keep collapsing, plant biologist Maya Reeves finds a mango seedling growing impossibly well in her apartment window. The tree is not ordinary. It is conscious, patient, and quietly becoming the centre of a cultivation system the modern world has forgotten. When Maya forms the first heartwood connection, she and her family begin a disciplined, secret practice built on daily sessions, careful observation, and trust. The loop between practitioner and tree refines energy for both sides, but only within strict limits, and every gain must be earned. As parents, grandparents, children, and even one very particular cat join the network, small domestic routines become the front line of survival. Then a planetary catastrophe strips away the world's remaining margins of safety, and the family realises their advantage may be unique. To protect one another, they must build knowledge, choose methods they can live with, and grow stronger without losing what makes them a family. Bearing Fruit is a grounded literary xianxia about cultivation in a declining modern world: precise in its mechanics, intimate in its emotions, and rooted in the quiet power of choosing each other, day after day.

The man carried memories of a previous life. In the world he was reborn into, there existed beings known as Uma Musume. Yet, despite that, he himself knew almost nothing about horse racing or racehorses. When he became a rookie trainer, he encountered a single Uma Musume. Her name was Haru Urara. Even for someone like him, who knew almost nothing about racing, it was a name he had heard before. Precisely because of that, he decided to scout her. And as he began training Haru Urara, a thought naturally came to mind: “Wait… if even someone like me knows her name, doesn’t that mean Haru Urara is actually an amazing Uma Musume?” This is the story of an ordinary man, unfamiliar with Uma Musume and knowing almost nothing about horse racing, who is reincarnated into that world and does his best as a rookie trainer.
