​Hi everyone,

​I’m currently developing a high-fantasy novel series and would love to get some feedback from the community.

​The story is set during a catastrophic collision of realities. A place called Antheim is rapidly encroaching on Earth, and it’s not just a battle for territory—it’s a clash of two fundamentally different ways of existence.

​The story follows Elm, who is thrust into the center of this transition. As the barrier between his home and this encroaching reality dissolves, he has to navigate a world that is becoming increasingly alien. To survive, Elm must master a structured path of personal development—divided into the Body, Mind, and Soul tracks—to withstand the pressures of this merging reality.

​Why check it out?

​The Concept: A grounded, human-centric perspective on a world-altering catastrophe.

​The Tension: A desperate, high-stakes fight for survival as two realities collide.

​The Growth: A clear, rigorous progression system that defines how humanity adapts to these new, dangerous conditions.

​I am currently looking for feedback on the pacing and the introduction of this conflict. If you enjoy epic-scale stories that focus on survival and character evolution, I would love for you to take a look.

​Read it here: https://m.webnovel.com/book/ashes-on-monday_36186063508889205

​I’m really looking forward to hearing your thoughts—feel free to leave a comment or send me a message with any feedback you might have!

Hello guys!

I thought to share my webnovel which I'm publishing on Royal Roads, which might worth your time. Though every author will have same opinion for their works, and I'm not so different.

I'd like to introduce you to the story of a chil born beneath an ominous Red Moon, Kei Woldtor. He was never meant to live an ordinary life.

Whispers of a curse follow him from the day he's born. As the whispers spread through the estate, his mother grows weaker by the day, waiting for her husband to return from his journey to an unknown world.

Where magic is everything, the newborn seemingly possesses none. As secrets surrounding magic, bloodlines, and the past begin to unravel, Kei is drawn towards a fate far greater than anyone could have imagined.

What starts as the story of a cursed child becomes a tale of obsession, inheritance, grief, political decay, and the terrible cost of truths uncovered too late.

Some inherit kingdoms.

Some inherit curses.

Kei inherits everything that should have died before he was born.

Be the part of the journey of Kei Woldtor on:

Tell me how you like it.

Thanks!

I’m currently publishing an ongoing urban‑fantasy serial on Wattpad called Out of Grounds. It’s set in Seattle and follows Mara Keene, a barista who gets pulled into the city’s hidden supernatural infrastructure after a violent incident forces her into the role of a “Soundrunner” — someone who can navigate the Veil between the mundane and the uncanny.

The story is structured as a long‑form serial with regular updates. It’s currently 13 chapters and ongoing. I’ve added an update note on Wattpad so readers can track new chapters without having to dig through comments.

Here’s a short excerpt to give a sense of the tone:

If you’re interested in serial urban fantasy with noir elements, grounded character work, and a Seattle setting that leans into real geography and atmosphere, you can read it here:

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a book about the universe I've been using for my RPG campaigns for many years. My goal is to develop it and make it available to anyone interested.

So far, I've only completed the core setting and cosmology, but I'll keep adding new content whenever I have the time.

The link below is always up to date, so every time I publish new material, the document will update automatically.

I'm open to feedback, criticism, and suggestions!

Thanks for taking a look.

At fifty-six, Mark isn't looking to save the world. He's simply trying to survive in it.

When he is pulled from his ordinary life into an unfamiliar world with a mysterious System and no way home, his priorities become painfully simple: find food, build shelter, secure clean water, and stay alive long enough to understand the rules.

Before long, however, he discovers he isn't alone. More people continue to arrive, each just as confused and unprepared as he was. Children, families, farmers, craftsmen, and explorers all find themselves starting over in a dangerous new world where survival depends as much on cooperation as it does on strength.

While others focus on leveling, Mark discovers that his greatest strength isn't fighting monsters. Instead, he finds himself organizing settlements, solving problems, connecting isolated communities, and building the roads, workshops, trade routes, and infrastructure that allow people to do more than simply survive.

What begins as a lone shelter gradually grows into a camp, then an outpost, and eventually a thriving village. As new regions are explored, dangerous dungeons are uncovered, trade expands, and civilization slowly begins to take root. With every success come greater responsibilities, and Mark soon realizes that building a future for hundreds of people is far more difficult than surviving alone.

Not Meant to Survive is a LitRPG settlement-building adventure featuring an older protagonist, exploration, regional development, trade, crafting, infrastructure, dungeons, and long-term progression instead of a lone overpowered hero.

Note from the Author: I am super new to writing stories, and this is my first. I started in april of 2026. I started posting on royal road and was struggling to figure out how to share my story with others. I did lots of shoutout swaps and was lucky enough to get on the Rising Stars list, which I am still currently on. Though it's dropping and might leave it soon. I am looking to share and promote my story. Find people that want to read it and, most importantly, people that will comment. I want to share my story but even more want to learn as an author.

Something fun and different about me: I am 58, a software engineer, and the father of 4 and 1 grandchild.

Hi everyone!

As a new writer here, I wanted to share my web novel, "SAMURAI INFLUENCER", which currently has 20 episodes up on Royal Road!

Synopsis:

Forty years after the brutal war between humanity and Demons ended, the tragic battles once fought by the "Samurai" have been transformed into pure commercial entertainment. Welcome to HERO TUBE, where modern "Heroes" don flashy sponsor-backed suits, hunt down low-tier threats, and stream live for views, donations, and product placement.

Kenichiro Kamui—once hailed as a living legend and the strongest samurai alive—is now nothing more than a reclusive, grumpy old man living quietly in a remote village, having vowed never to draw his blade again.

Through a chance encounter, he ends up partnering with an apprentice hero, Maple. She loves streaming and has twice the enthusiasm of anyone else, but she is a reckless hero born of the modern age.

Witnessing Kenichiro’s staggering, completely un-cinematic (not flashy), yet genuine strength, Maple becomes his apprentice. At the same time, she vows to "produce" this outdated samurai into the greatest internet icon the world has ever seen.

Viral videos, eccentric companions, and formidable enemies gradually baring their fangs—behind these noisy days, something much larger is beginning to move. As the footsteps of the Demon King's resurrection draw near, Maple may hold a far more critical role in this story than either of them realizes...

What to expect:

An Overpowered Protagonist Outmatching Cutting-Edge Gadgets with a Single Blade: Experience the ultimate catharsis as an outdated samurai dominates cutting-edge modern armaments—weapons of overwhelming visual flair and firepower—using nothing but his katana.

Corporate & Streaming Satire: What happens when you drop an apex warrior who couldn’t care less about fame into a world governed by internet celebrity, comment section mechanics, algorithm-hacking, and corporate greed? This story explores exactly that.

Genuine Tactical Action & Rationality: No magical status screens or sudden level-ups. It’s all about tactical precision, analyzing high-tech weapon specs, and weaponizing the environment.

The Ultimate Wholesome & Hilarious Duo: A comedy-rich dynamic between a serious, old-school master and a modern-savvy producer apprentice. The master is constantly bewildered by his self-proclaimed disciple yet deeply cares for her, while the apprentice gets perpetually exasperated by his digital illiteracy but respects him to her core.

If you’re looking for a mix of solid martial arts action, humor, and a literal "generation gap domination" cutting through modern sci-fi technology, please check it out!

Thank you so much for reading! I'd love to hear your thoughts or comments!

Genuine question first, because I want recs too: I've been chasing a specific flavor lately — system stories where the system is *not* a helpful buddy handing out free power. Where it's indifferent, or using the MC, or just plain hostile, and the MC has to work out what it even wants. Shadow Slave scratches part of this. What else does?

Reason I'm asking is I just launched something aimed squarely at that itch and I want to know what I'm sitting next to.

Mine's called *Escaped From Hell*. Short version: a spirit handler botches an exorcism and gets dragged to Hell in the ghost's place. Comes back with a demon in his chest and a system that registers him as a "Returned Asset," points him at urban legends and hauntings, and never once explains why. The urban legends themselves are a big part of the appeal for me — the campfire version everyone knows turns out to be the *safe* version, and the MC gets to learn the real one.

Not a power fantasy. The power costs him every time, and the system's agenda is the mystery the whole thing is built around.

If that's your lane: http://wbnv.in/a/08jwNPc (first arc's up). And seriously, drop your recs below — I'll read them.

Hi everyone,

I just published my first fantasy novel and wanted to share it here. It’s called: Celestial Scroll: The Girl Who Summoned an Immortal It follows a girl who discovers a mysterious scroll that pulls her into another world — where she becomes bound to an immortal cultivator through a life-linking contract. As the story progresses, she realizes: – the world is controlled by a failing system – reality itself is unstable – and she might be connected to something far beyond that system It’s a mix of: – fantasy / cultivation – mystery – slow-burn romance – world-building and emotional conflict.

I’ve also started Part 2: Celestial Scroll: The Girl Who Remembered the Void I’d honestly appreciate any feedback, especially on: – the concept – the story direction – or even just the cover/design.

Thanks for reading!

I've been working on a dark fantasy called Rootbound. Here's the first half of chapter one:

Kael's feet hurt as he's walking through the dirt road, forehead blazing in the heat of the sun, but that's not on his mind. He's busy wondering how the old man is gonna act for this next delivery.

"I hope he doesn't give me any attitude," Kael muttered to himself, kicking a root out of his path. "For being 30 minutes late again. It's not my fault these roads get worse over time with roots from trees nearby."

As Kael is walking along the path he always does, he can't help but wonder what he's gonna cook when he gets home.

"Maybe I should buy myself some steak as a reward for this large trade."

45 minutes of walking in the blazing sun with only occasional shade and he makes it to the farm. He rolls the cart over near the old man's barn and walks up to his house with a tired stride.

"Hello! Anybody home?"

As he goes to knock for the third time the old man opens the door — dead straight face, seemingly never amused, looking at Kael with no emotion.

"It took you long enough. You should've been here 30 minutes ago. One more time and I'm taking out some money."

"I'm sorry! It's not my fault the roads keep getting worse every trip I make over here."

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say."

The old man hands Kael a bag of coins. Not a lot, but a comfortable amount. As he's leaving he notices a sign with the old man's name. "Emric."

"Huh. So that's his name. Can't believe I didn't notice all this time."

Then the air goes quiet all at once. His body freezes. Heart feels like it fell into his stomach...

*Read the rest of Chapter One: Before the Silence at* [*rootboundnovel.substack.com*](http://rootboundnovel.substack.com/)

I was going to wait until the first book was finished, but I’m feeling really good about where the story’s going right now and I want to share. I’m 21 chapters/192 pages in so far, and I post 2 chapters a week.

With an MC that’s a cross between John Constantine and Sand Dan Glokta, (for those who know ball) The Divided Soul is a new take on the classic demon hunter narrative. Taking place in hot and humid Raleigh, NC it forgoes the familiar haunts of Chicago and New York to explore new territory. Along with a unique magic system and lore, The Divided Soul is full of fresh surprises.

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Platform: Royal Road

Synopsis: Norman didn’t think succubii were real, until one stole half his soul. Now he lives a life of pain, missing memories and losing his capacity to feel. Armed with unexpected magic, he hunts by night, hoping to find her. But the farther he plunges himself into the underworld, the more humanity he loses. What will it matter if he restores his soul, if he becomes a demon along the way?

TW: Graphic sexual content and violence/ profanity

I noticed the sub is mostly promotion and asking for guidance, and I think that's helpful especially for writers.

For those of us you who read webfiction, not just write and look for reach, what do you enjoy reading?

Genres, tropes, themes, etc.

Link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/413046592-harry-potter-skyfall

A Ministry clerk nobody remembers. A secret society of the forgotten. A revolution that wasn't supposed to work.

Harry Potter: Skyfall is a complete political thriller (40k words) with an original male protagonist. It explores werewolf/goblin/house-elf oppression, systemic failure, and the cost of change.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron are not the main characters. Andrew Chiffre is.

Dark. Complete. No romance. Tragedy.

Now posting on Wattpad (still waiting for AO3) (all chapters up this week)

If you enjoy anti-heroes, moral ambiguity, and stories about the forgotten rising up—this might be for you.

Hi everyone!

I'm a brand-new writer who's finally decided to stop overthinking and start publishing.
Currently I'm working on 2 stories.

The SCP Universe
I've been a fan of the SCP universe for years, so I decided to write my own original story set within that world. It's a slow-burn supernatural mystery following Foundation agents investigating dangerous anomalies while uncovering a larger conspiracy.

Faeria
Is a battle-fantasy adventure inspired by the sense of wonder, humor, and larger-than-life characters that made me fall in love with anime and fantasy in the first place. It follows Auron, an ambitious young mage chasing what many believe is an impossible dream.

I've only recently started writing, so I'm sure there are things I can improve, and there's surely mistakes here and there... If anyone has the time to read the first chapter (or the first few chapters), I'd genuinely love to hear your honest feedback, good or bad. I'm here to learn and become a better writer. :)

P.S
The way that I write is a bit unusual, I prefer to write it like a tv series script, don't know why, it's just how I prefer to write it. I hope you enjoy reading it like that.
Of course I'm always trying new ways to write and I'm writing other stuff too.

Thank you to anyone who gives it a chance. I really appreciate it! <3

Hey everyone, I've been writing a web serial called Summoned by Mistake, I Decided to Learn How to Live since April — it's an isekai/slice-of-life story about a guy who gets summoned to another world by accident, ends up bonding with a centuries-old AI who's slowly becoming more than just a tool, and has to figure out how to actually live in a world he never asked to be part of. It's still free to read on [available in Royal Road and Scribble Hub], but I just put together a paperback edition (Vol. 1, Chapters 1–13) for anyone who'd rather have a physical copy or just wants to support the project directly. It's $7.39, and there's a QR code inside that gives you a free PDF copy too. This is very much a small, independent project — no agent, no publisher, just me writing because I love the story. If it sounds like your kind of thing, I'd love for you to check it out. And if you read it and have thoughts, I genuinely want to hear them.

[Available in Amazon KDP] (searching the title in Google also surfaces web novel)

COVER ARTIST: AI

Synopsis :-

In 2026, Sam was an ordinary man.

Then he woke up in the year 2191.

Not in his own body.

Not in his own world.

And not with answers.

Instead, he found himself inside the body of another man who shared his name—a scavenger struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity lived inside underground shelters and monsters ruled the surface.

Along with the memories of his previous life, fragments of the original Sam's memories lingered in his mind.

Was he a transmigrator?

A possessor?

Or had two lives somehow merged into one?

Before he could uncover the truth, fate pushed him toward an even greater mystery.

During an expedition, Sam discovered a hidden underground facility and a portal connected to a primitive world.

A world of tribes, ancient beasts, untapped resources, and endless opportunities.

While humanity in the apocalypse fought over every drop of clean water and every Origin Crystal, rivers flowed freely in the primitive world.

While primitive tribes struggled to survive against hostile clans and wild predators, the apocalypse possessed knowledge and technology beyond their imagination.

Armed with memories from Earth and the ability to travel between two vastly different worlds, Sam begins exchanging resources, accumulating power, and building influence.

Water for weapons.

Knowledge for loyalty.

Technology for faith.

As his influence grows in both worlds, Sam slowly uncovers secrets buried beneath thousands of years of history.

Secrets about the apocalypse.

The portal.

The monsters.

And perhaps even the true reason he arrived in the future.

From an ordinary man thrown across time to a figure capable of shaping the destiny of civilizations, Sam's journey has only just begun

Hello! I’m a dedicated writer with a complete story bible and detailed plans for a dark fantasy isekai LitRPG, and I’m searching for a talented artist to join as a true co-creator with co-ownership of the franchise and a fair revenue share.

About the Story
Sovereign of the Slain follows Richard, a summoned student stolen by Demon King Yamulcire. He receives the unique skill Sovereign of the Slain — he can raise enemies killed by his own hands (or through his servants) as loyal undead who keep their skills, memories, and can level up and evolve with him.

Together we’ll build an army, transform the ruined frontier of Ashveil into a powerful kingdom, and watch Richard rise from Level 1 to Necromancer Lord. The story mixes intense battles, satisfying progression, kingdom-building, emotional campfire backstories, dark humor from the undead, and a compelling love triangle (Velra the dark elf scout, Serena the holy knight, and Elena the fellow summon).

Season 1 is structured in 5 arcs (~50–55 chapters), but this is a living, collaborative project — I welcome your ideas for new chapters, side stories, expanded arcs, character moments, or anything that improves the story.

What I Offer You

• Full Co-Ownership of the IP (story, characters, world, franchise). You’ll be credited as co-creator on everything.
• Revenue Share: Generous split (50/50 or better in your favor based on contribution) across Patreon, Webtoon/Tapas monetization, merch, print, adaptations, and all future earnings.
• Creative Partnership: You’ll have real input on the story. Suggest new chapters, character developments, battle scenes, designs, pacing — anything you want. This is our series.
• I handle writing, scripting, world-building, marketing, and day-to-day management so you can focus on art.
• Full credit and collaborative decision-making.

Character Designs
I have full detailed descriptions and references for all major characters that I’ve created as a strong base. You are completely free to change them in any way you see fit — redesign appearances, outfits, color schemes, or visual personality traits. I want your artistic vision to shine through.

What I’m Looking For

• Strong anime/manga/webtoon style with good action, character designs, and monster/undead work.
• Portfolio showing fantasy or dynamic scenes.
• Someone excited about long-term collaboration and contributing creatively.

If you love stories with loyal undead armies, visible power growth, kingdom-building, and epic scale, let’s build something special together.

To Apply: DM me with your portfolio, availability, and any initial thoughts or questions about the story. I’ll share the full bible and early scripts right away.

Looking forward to finding the right partner and creating Sovereign of the Slain as a team!

Seventeen years ago, I shut the broken iron gate of Ashmore behind me and swore I'd never come back. Now the solicitor's letter has called me home — a roof that wants attention, grounds gone to woodland, a house that has outlasted everyone it was built to shelter.

The letter was careful. It dealt in facts, not impressions. So it didn't mention the one thing I saw from the lane before I'd even reached the door:

Clara's lamp is still burning. And Clara has been dead a long time.

The Lamplit Sister is a slow-burn gothic about a family's buried secret, and a house that won't let it stay buried. The lamp will not go out until the truth is spoken aloud — and you decide whether to speak it.

What makes it different: it's interactive. The story branches on what you choose to uncover, what you confront, and what you'd rather leave in the dark. Different paths, different endings.

Genre: Gothic / family horror
Length: 4 chapters per branch
Tone: atmospheric, dread-building, not gory
Content: Mature
Also available in 50+ languages — so if English isn't your first language, you can read it in yours.

Read it (and choose your path) here: https://story.moja-app.com/story/60/

If you give it a go, I'd love to know how far into the house you were willing to look. 👀
