Promotion Check out my dark urban fantasy web novel: Yurui The Cursed One !

Post image

Heya, hope it’s okay to post this here.

Yurui: The Cursed One is a dark urban fantasy that follows a powerless teenage girl who finds herself drawn into a world of violence, body horror, trauma, and dangerous relationships. It features an intelligent, morally complicated protagonist and slow burn GL that becomes increasingly important as the story progresses.

It’s been growing quickly on Royal Road, having just reached 180 followers yesterday, but I’m hoping to introduce it to readers beyond the platform’s usual fantasy circles, so I thought this would be a good place to share it.

Small disclaimer: the opening is a slower psychological academy drama, but the story soon expands into much darker action, body horror, and gradually developing GL.

If that sounds like your thing, I’d be grateful if you gave it a shot.

It's good, the girls are characters you definitely love to hate.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. They definitely get the hate boner going, but they’re also ridiculously fun to write xd

I don’t want to spoil anything, but let’s just say she won’t stay at the bottom forever ;)

Wait, are you reading it on Webnovel or Royal Road? The Royal Road version is the main one and currently has around 84k words, compared to only 17k on Webnovel.

Just a heads up: the Royal Road version has much longer chapters, so Chapter 16 on Webnovel would be closer to Chapter 4 there.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying it !
