She had been reincarnated 99 times, but each time she died at the hands of a man named Bandung Bandawasa. In each of her lives, Lestari carried the burden of tormenting memories and in each death, gradually erased her true identity as Lestari, a 24-year-old modern-day girl who enjoyed reading stories and watching films with ancient Javanese themes, until finally her soul merged completely with the cursed figure, Rara Jonggrang, with her burning revenge. In her 100th life, Lestari, who could now be called Rara Jonggrang, finally vowed to kill Bandung Bandawasa, the main cause of her suffering.

At a lavish party, she was betrayed by her own sister, losing everything—her innocence, her reputation, and her fiancé’s trust. He left her without a second thought, leaving her to bear the shame and heartbreak alone. She fled abroad, determined to start over. Two years later, a family emergency forces her back home, where she takes a job as a designer at a prestigious studio. Expecting life to be cruel once again, she is shocked when the man who once broke her heart returns—and this time, he showers her with a love deeper and more possessive than she ever imagined. This is part of a series. The first two books are “You’re Just My Ex-Husband, My Lord” and “Dating the Bossy CEO Next Door.” Hope you enjoy them!

Zara Cole’s life was already a mess—college debt breathing down her neck, a part-time barista job that barely paid for her coffee addiction, and Mr. Whiskers, her judgmental cat, glaring at her every move. She did not need chaos. But apparently, the universe had other plans. Enter the system. Yes, a literal system that popped up on her phone at 3 a.m., giving her tasks, challenges, and… rewards? And the first task? Talk to the one guy who makes her want to pull her hair out: Ethan Drake. Smug. Infuriatingly perfect. Billionaire-level chaos wrapped in an annoyingly attractive package. Every task drags her deeper into this game she never asked for, through neon-lit streets, shadowy alleys, and situations that make her panic, blush, and maybe… kind of enjoy it. The system promises money, points, and “level-ups,” but it doesn’t warn her about sparks flying every time Ethan smirks, brushes against her, or teases her until she’s a flustered, heart-racing mess. Zara has to survive the challenges, navigate her chaotic feelings, and figure out if the system is really helping her… or just using her to fall for the one guy she’s supposed to avoid. Hot, messy, and completely unpredictable, Level Hearts is a city-wide, task-driven, opposites-attract romance where failing a challenge could mean humiliation, heartbreak… or something far more dangerous: falling for Ethan Drake.

Gawr Gura enters the video game world

Aurelia Girls Academy, an elite, prestigious school that only accepts young women from noble or influential families. Except for one absurd exception. Every year, one male student is chosen to enroll as the academy’s “Honorary Prince,” surrounded by hundreds of beautiful girls competing for his affection. It’s the most unrealistic, most degenerate dating sim ever made. And I played it. A lot. But after falling asleep mid-route, I open my eyes and find myself sitting in the principal’s office, dressed in a school uniform I’ve never owned. Two strangers claiming to be my parents sit beside me. And the principal smiles warmly as she welcomes me: > “Congratulations. You are the academy’s second male student this year.” Second? That’s impossible. The game only ever had one boy, the protagonist, Kaito. Now there are two: the hero… and me. I reincarnated as a completely new extra character, someone who never existed in the original story. A glitch. An anomaly. A walking disaster waiting to happen. And the moment I step into the academy— The girls freeze. Routes break. Flags trigger on their own. The protagonist stares at me like I’ve stolen his entire existence. The world wasn’t designed for another man. And every heroine who was supposed to fall for Kaito is suddenly confused… curious… or dangerously interested in me instead. I just wanted to play a game. Now I’m stuck in a paradise full of unpredictable girls, a jealous protagonist, and a story that is rapidly collapsing. Surviving high school was already hard. Surviving a broken eroge full of possessive heroines? That’s another level entirely.

two women, alarmed by their sons' adolescent sexual awakening and potential risks in a foreign environment, form a controversial pact to "swap" the roles of sexual educators for each other's sons, believing this will control and guide their boys safely through sexual maturity.

As the story develops, the relationships become even more tangled. Both women struggle with the psychological consequences of their actions, navigating alternating currents of regret, longing, and forbidden affection. Explicit scenes are interspersed with reflections on motherhood, loneliness, and cultural dislocation. The narrative also expands to involve jealousy, emotional confrontations, and attempts to regain agency and rebuild familial relationships after the boundary-breaking events.

Qi, once a violent and uncontrollable child, is locked indoors for years by his parents in a desperate attempt to keep him from harming others. Cut off from the outside world, he devours every book in the house, transforming from a feral troublemaker into a precociously intelligent, eerily calm boy whose mind runs much deeper than the adults around him realize. ​ By middle school, Qi’s body is frail but his inner world is sharp and restless; recurring dreams of being locked behind a door haunt him, symbolizing both his childhood imprisonment and a vague, rising fury at forces he cannot name. A sudden fainting spell on the street leads to a strange encounter with a humorous Taoist priest, Pingshan, who hints that Qi might be “fated with Daoism” and plants the first seed of another way to see the world. When his worried mother drags him to the hospital for tests, Qi accidentally discovers that his “Uncle Jun,” Vice President Xu, is secretly having an affair with her, and slowly realizes his father has long known and silently tolerated the betrayal. This shatters Qi’s trust in adult morality; driven by suspicion, he begins to shadow his mother’s movements and soon uncovers something even darker: Xu is not the only man in her life, and in a secluded park he witnesses her having unprotected sex with a stranger on the grass, hiding under a coat while the world passes by. ​ From that moment, Qi’s view of his mother curdles into contempt, and the word “slut” brands itself into his thoughts even as he continues to play the obedient son at home. His dreams change: the helpless child beating on a locked door becomes a raging adolescent vowing never again to be controlled, swearing that in his own world, he alone will be the master and in the dream, the door that never opened before finally begins to creak wide. This is the story of how a boy shaped by confinement, betrayal, and misdirected love awakens to both his own power and his own darkness, stepping onto a path where lust, resentment, and a warped sense of freedom will drive his choices far beyond what any of the adults around him ever imagined NOTE All characters are 18+ regardless of any listed ages in the chapters, and all depicted acts are consensual even if the text states otherwise.

[Warning: this story contains dark themes] **** Seven years ago, Ruby Emerald believed she had everything: love, stability, a future she could finally trust. On her wedding anniversary, she planned a surprise that would change their lives forever. Instead, her world shattered. She found her husband having sex with his ex, the words that followed cutting deeper than the betrayal itself. He said loving her made him feel small. Empty. The child she carried was her quiet miracle, who never got the chance to be born. Ruby lost her pregnancy on the very day meant to celebrate life, sealing her heartbreak in silence. When grief had barely settled, life demanded more. Her mother’s heart was failing. There was a need for surgery, which was devastatingly expensive. Her father’s debts threatened to swallow the family business whole. Ruby was drowning. Then came the knock on her hospital door. Her ex-husband’s stepfather, Max Byron, stepped inside, immaculate and unreadable, his presence commanding the room before he spoke a single word. A man of power, control, and secrets. “I can solve all your problems,” he said. Hope flared, dangerous and fragile until he finished: “My only condition… is that you marry me.” Trapped between survival and self-respect, Ruby is forced into a marriage built on necessity, not love. But beneath the cold arrangement and unspoken boundaries, something unsettling begins to grow, slow, restrained, impossible to ignore. Because the most dangerous thing about this marriage isn’t the bargain she made— It’s the feelings she never agreed to feel.

Sometimes— it remembers"

Her name was a brand, her talent undeniable, and her fortune self-made. Yet the person she loved unconditionally and trusted the most became her executioner.

Fog rolled over Tallinn like a living thing, swallowing cobblestones, lanterns, and the edges of the city in silence. Yvette Ordene moved through it, coat drawn tight, grey eyes sharp, aware of everything around her—and yet blind to the presence that had already begun to watch. ———————————— It is 1956. The city is heavy with quiet tension, its streets lined with frost-bitten buildings, shadowed alleys, and the faint echoes of a world on the brink of war. Yvette, twenty-four, is a detective who thrives on observation, intellect, and the patterns of everyday life. She understands her city, its people, its rhythms… or at least she thinks she does. Then the deaths begin. Bodies are found completely drained of blood, untouched, impossible by any human measure. What begins as a puzzling investigation soon spirals into something darker, something that tests the limits of logic and the edges of reality. Every clue pulls her deeper into a world she was never meant to enter, where curiosity can be dangerous, and the ordinary becomes terrifying. Watching her is a mind unlike any she has ever encountered: patient, impossibly precise, and ancient. A being of a kind thought to exist only in myths and whispered stories of history has risen to the surface, whose fascination with her is as methodical as it is unnerving, threads his presence through her investigation, shaping events without ever revealing himself. Where she sees puzzles, he sees opportunity. Where she seeks truth, he orchestrates the hunt. Through fogged streets, quiet cafés, letters, and winter nights, Yvette encounters moments of humor, fleeting warmth, and reflections of her past—all against a growing tide of dread. Friendships and small joys contrast sharply with the escalating horror, the predator’s fascination, and the sense that every step forward is a step into a trap she cannot yet see. ———————————— “Anatomy of the Forbidden Mind” is a slow-burn 'fictional' thriller beginning in 1956 Tallinn, weaving historical realism, human insight, forensic intrigue, and psychological suspense into a story of obsession, intellect, and a danger that waits just beyond comprehension.
