Could you survive a horror movie?
That's the question Riley must answer after he and his friends get lured to Carousel, a malevolent town where horror movies come to life.
Riley thinks he is in big trouble when he is assigned the Film Buff archetype, a minor support class that has a penchant for dying early in movies. At first resigned to his fate to die over and over, he believes he has found a way to survive. Upon obtaining the Oblivious Bystander trope, monsters and killers will not harm him as long as he can convincingly pretend he has not noticed them. At first, this ability appears to be a joke, but Riley thinks that with some clever exploitation, it might just be his greatest strength.
What to expect:
-Strategic gameplay and clever uses of movie tropes to survive
-Perilous storylines right from your favorite horror movies
-Creative Twists of Classic Horror Movie tropes
-Moderate stats-based combat and strategy

The sequel, -Boosted Continuation-, is out!!!

Sophia wasn’t happy with her life after having made some wrong decisions. Introverted and shy to the point it even hindered her from having basic interactions, she felt lonely from being unable to talk with women at all, the only gender she’s interested in.
The girl wanted to better herself, but Sophia couldn’t do so without help after all this time. This changed when she got into an accident that led to the end of the life she hated so much.
Someone calling himself an ‘overseer of worlds’ decided to save her from certain death. He gave her a second chance in a different world where even magic exists. He also ‘blessed’ her with many so-called boosts to make her life easier. Sophia took this chance and asked him to become more outgoing, confident, and the likes.
The overseer didn’t stop there, though. He boosted every emotion and personality trait, whether positive or negative. Her physical stats were no exception, either. To make things worse, those boosts also weren’t overly reliable. They occasionally overcompensated or even failed.
Sophia worked hard to deal with her new and complicated situation while doing her best in the new world. Exploring places, learning magic, finally finding friends, and possibly more while having a slow and easygoing life overflowing with fluff.
Unfortunately, she learned magic from a highly overpowered, easygoing, and somewhat unreliable teacher who became the girl’s first friend. This not only destroyed the last bit of her common sense, but Sophia’s application of magic became rather sloppy, causing one weird incident after another.
She met many new friends and had an easygoing life filled with fluff 96% of the time. Still, her vast powers and the lack of common sense, combined with her being beyond carefree while rarely thinking about the consequences of her actions, made her life anything but slow.

Info:
Most of the time, once you managed to get through the first ~20 chapters (and the parts where humans are involved), this story is the embodiment of FLUFF. Still, it can get a little suggestive without beating around the bush at times much later on. There's no actual NSFW stuff and nothing descriptive, either. Still, it will be clear that any couple has an active sex life that gets some mentions, including a few details, every now and then. The girls can be a little thirsty at times.
Sarah Allen had a good life with her husband, who was also the CEO of a large tech company which was developing the worlds first VRMMO.
But not all was good. Betrayed by her husband, she now lives a poor life with her daughter, trying to get through the day.
How is a single mother suppose to support her family, and what do you mean I triggered a world event?
Vance is a young man who has been blind since birth. He lives with his father and older brother. Over the years, he sought remedies for his affliction but had no luck.
This year, an Arcanist visits the small town of Wethermane. Vance is curious and intends to visit this powerful stranger, hoping for either help or hope. What he receives is something else, something greater - opportunity.
This book will follow his tale from afflicted young man to budding Arcanist, his struggles along the way, and hopefully a little humour.

A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness with no memory, climbing out of an egg. She has human knowledge that doesn’t seem to match her body. Now she needs to not only survive, but figure out the blue boxes, her biology, and how to build up and protect her hive, while balancing her Hive Queen instincts with the human parts of her mind. Her instincts want her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and destroy everything that might possibly one day be a threat. She’d rather not become an apocalypse. But she does need to secure resources and territory for her hive, and maybe a bit of conquest wouldn’t be so bad.
A fantasy adventure with litRPG elements and kingdom building, telling the story of a Hive Queen and her family.
This story will also be posted on RoyalRoad.

He died a nobody.
Now he’s reborn in a body beaten and left for dead, no family, no food, no future.
In the Kingdom of Avalon, strength isn’t just respected, it’s survival. Power is ranked by Tiers, magic is earned through blood and elemental affinity, and those without talent are nothing more than fodder for war.
Edward has neither noble blood nor rare talent. What he does have is an iron will, a sharp mind, and the stubborn refusal to stay down. Desperate for food, shelter, and a second chance, he enlists in the Royal Army, trading the uncertainty of the streets for the grueling discipline of military life.
But the army is no place for the weak. Training is brutal, resources are scarce, and every recruit is just one mistake away from the grave. Here, camaraderie is forged in hardship, tactics matter as much as raw strength, and survival demands more than swinging a sword, it demands learning, adapting, and enduring.
The road ahead is long and unforgiving. Yet with each step, Edward edges closer to something greater, growth, purpose, and perhaps a place in a kingdom that would rather see him buried than crowned.
Rise… or be forgotten.
What to expect:
~Slow-paced progression
~Non-OP
~Military focus
~Gritty, grounded tone
~No harem
~Detailed worldbuilding
~Coming-of-age journey
~Kingdom building (later in the story)

These were the words Rylan Cloudgift had been waiting to hear all his life.
They were supposed to be his salvation, his escape from a mundane live as an indentured servant on an island in the vast cloudsea. His quick way out of the debt he held to the Thistlethorns—the noble family that had found him as a baby.
So why did he wake up in a cell? Why was there talk of the Thistlethorns binding him in their service through a magical contract?
Seeing no other choice, Rylan flees into the cloudsea, carrying only what supplies he manages to grab on the way out and a mysterious note bearing a cryptic warning...
His quest to find the sender and unravel the mystery of his birth will have to wait, however, for both friend and foe follow him into the fog, and none of them knows the way out.
To make matters worse, the dense mist harbours hidden monstrosities and long-buried secrets. It’s not what they might find—but what might find them...

A bargain-bin cult calling itself the Children of the Abyss has summoned her—on purpose, by accident. They wanted a real demoness and not a nerdy girl cosplaying one. They’re incompetent, fanatical, and, inconveniently, the only people who don’t want to burn a demon on sight. Lily plans to humor them, learn the world, and bail. Instead, rumors snowball, idiots congregate, and an accidental empire starts forming in her name.
Will Lily lean into the crown and become the new Demon Queen, ghost the lot of them for a blissfully quiet life, or—against all odds—end up saving a world that keeps mistaking her for its doom?
