This book is inspired be the V.C. Andrews Gothic Horror/Romance Novels.

Yuuji is an ordinary Japanese college student who likes reading novels, be it light novels, wuxia novels, xianxia novels, sci-fi and more. But, on one fateful day, he was bumped and fell on the road resulting him being squished and grinded to death by motorcycles. When he is on a dark dimension, he noticed that he is being shaken and there is someone calling him..

This chapter will be deleted when I post the next chapter.

First, I would like to apologize for not being a new chapter, I know that many people like this romance.

Second, many people are accusing me of copying an anime called Grisaia No Rakuen.

I didn't copy the anime! I just took a scene that I really liked in the anime and adapted it for my Fanfic. Many authors
 of fanfic mainly of anime like Akikan, and others that I don't remember the name now, copy several scenes of animes and put in their romance, I don't see anyone putting a lot of negative Review in their novels.

I am not belittling the work of these authors, for me it does not matter, as long as something changes in the novel, I will accept it.

So how many chapters did Akikan use Conan and embody him from his anime? he practically copied and pasted it, he just introduced his character in the middle of everything.

I repeat again, I am not belittling Akikan, I am a big fan of him, I started making fanfics because of him. (If Akikan reads this, I apologize for using his name.)

Anyway, I see a lot of people copying and pasting anime content in their novels and just changing a few things, it happens mainly in DXD and Naruto Fanfic.

Do people complain and give negative reviews because of this? No, right?

Grisaia No Rakuen has a scene in which the anime MC has sex with a blonde who is a friend of his master, is this considered pedophilia? Yes! but someone complained !? no ... because you are used to such a character in Japanese works, everyone called (including me) the protagonist a badass.

So stop texting me about it, if you don't like it, just don't read it. I'm doing this business for free and trying to raise money with Pa treon to buy better equipment and make an original novel one day.

I apologize again to anyone who was waiting for a new chapter. Just stop sending me messages like. "This novel is rubbish! It's just a copy!" or "Is this pedophilia? What rubbish!"

Seriously, these people complain about copying in a Fanfic, the very essence of a Fanfic (Most of the time) is a copy.

Anyway, just stop texting me about it! if you don't like it just don't read it! I honestly have low self-esteem, you can call me a crybaby or whatever, but my life in my country sucks! just writing and putting my ideas down on paper I feel better.

See you in the next chapter!

Adrian Weismann is a lazy and normal boy with a weird family, there’s also a chuuni one-eyed bald pirate. Adrian's life seems normal but his mother aunt and that bald pirate aren’t. What is Adrian gonna do when he gets trained by the best spy and gets symbiote as his partner? For that you’ll have to read this to find out.

It has been a week since Ayaka got back to home. Everything is slowly shifting back to normal, although Ayaka didn't went to school, as she was considering quitting for a while. Ayaka was feeling happier, and Kosuke was always worried about if she was doing too much in home again. But slowly, he felt more happy and the worry and the anxiety he had was slowly disappearing.
He finished up reading the romance he had bought. He was a complete beginner, but he considered about some words he read. Those definitely hit his heart. Ayaka felt like Kosuke had changed up a little bit too. In his eyes, she felt like Kosuke began being more sociable and the words that he spoke to answer her question stopped being vague.
Kosuke woke up.
This time it wasn't a rude phone that just wanted him to do work. It was her sister. The sweet voice of her sister.

"Kosuke. It's time to wake up.", she said.

"Okay…", he said, still drowsy.

"Common, don't get late.", she advised him.

"See, that's what I missed... ", Kosuke said.

"What do you mean?", Ayaka was confused.

"Waking up to the voice of your sister. There is something magical in it that makes me wake up with more energy…", Kosuke ranted, unaware of the implications about what was he saying. 

"Oh, stop it, brother, you're gonna make me blush.", Ayaka said, covering her face, and laughing.

"What?", Kosuke didn't realize that what he said could be understood with other meaning.

"Nevermind, go put on the uniform and come eat breakfast.", Ayaka said, going to the kitchen.

Kosuke put on the school uniform, washed his face and went downstairs, where a breakfast that look delicious was waiting him. 

"I miss that smell, too…", he said, smelling the food smell in the air.

"What?", Ayaka was confused.

"Nothing. It's just the time you was gone, made me truly think the importance you had in my life.", Kosuke said, with a low voice, embarrassed.

"Cute.", she thought.
"It's the same for me. Your presence, even if silent, it was something that was certain. I took it for granted, and even though it was my choice to leave this place for good, it was something that struck me.", she said.

Kosuke felt those words. He knew it was something that he always knew but those words, really did struck him by surprise.

"Well, Itadakimasu!", he said, starting to eat.

"Itadakimasu.", Ayaka said, starting to eat, too.

The breakfast was really hitting the spot. Miso soup, with rice and a salmon. It was just the perfect balance for a traditional japanese balanced breakfast.
He delighted himself and went to school.
 
He had a normal morning of school. This time more focused. 

The brainstorm has ended, for now it was time for launch.
He noticed a group of 3 people were talking in the desk in front of him. The unheard and silent voices were unmuted, has he was paying attention to them.

"So have you read «Koi Histeria»?", one of them asked, he was for sure the one who recommended him to read.
 
Kosuke realized that the book they were talking was the book that he read.

"I did.", the other one answered, with a tone of voice that suggested that the book wasn't good.

"And?", the other one asked.

"Complete garbage.", he said with a tone of disappointment.
 
Kosuke couldn't believe in what he was saying. Okay, the plot wasn't that good, but the ending and the writing was great. He couldn't stand hearing that and stay shut, so interrupted what he believed was completed nonsense.

"What are you talking about?", Kosuke said.
 
Unaware of Kosuke's presence, the boys turned their back to see who was talking.

"Have you read it too?", asked the boy who recommended the book to his mate.

"Yes, I have. And I can't stand what your friend is saying…", Kosuke said, getting worked up.

"Right? By the way, I'm Saito Kazuya, I'm from literature club.", Kazuya introduced himself, as he thought Kosuke and him have the same interests.

"I'm just a beginner in terms of novels, but I could see that was a high class one.", Kosuke ranted.

"You two, don't know what a good novel is!", the other one said.

"Calm down. By the way, I'm Sakura Ana  .", the girl in the group said.

"Ana? That's uncommon.", Kosuke said.

"Yeah. I'm half-japanese, my mom is from Portugal. My given name get's mistaken by hana (hana can mean flower in japanese too), so sometimes I'm a cherry blossom flower.", she said, with a slight grin.

"Oh, that's funny.", Kosuke said.

"I'm Shinoda Yosuke.", the other one presented himself.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you, I'm Okamoto Kosuke.", Kosuke presented himself.

"We are from literature club, by the way. So if you don't mind come visit us in any time. We are actually needing members.", Sakura said.

"I will consider it. Although, I am a complete beginner.", Kosuke said.

"Don't worry about being a beginner, we seek people interested in novels, there is no need to have read 1000 novels…", Sakura said.

"Yeah…", Kazuya said.

"We'll I'll go eat lunch now, tomorrow I think I will pass by.", Kosuke said.

"Okay.", Sakura said.

The rest of the day carried on normally, with Kosuke considering joining weather he would join literature club or not. As he got back to home, he was revived by his sister, which happily made the dinner for him.

An high school student by the name of Okamoto Kosuke was a person whom often distances himself from the world around him. He lives with his sister named Okamoto Ayaka, who is a teacher and does the exact opposite of him

Hi, my name is Caitlyn Rivers. My life is just like any other student — school, study, rest and repeat. If there was one thing I would say was different from others, it would be that I am obsessed with reading. So much so that I have my own library; A total of 36 books. All my most favourite romance titles. 

Okay, maybe calling 36 books a library was exaggerating it a bit, but in my heart, it is the most awesome library. It even comes with my very own movie theater... Of 10 movies. But I bought them all with my own allowance! I am absolutely proud of my collection... But only at home. It's not that I don't want to show it off to others, but when you get too immersed talking about your hobby? Sometimes, mean people talk, and words do in fact hurt. 

Even so, I love reading them. I love watching them too! Novels, movies, even Japanese shoujo manga. I love immersing my thoughts into their worlds, dreaming about being the heroine of the story, finding my own love. 

One thing I never understood from them, was why the second leads are always just... Second. They are clearly just as handsome as the main lead, they are definitely much more approachable than the main leads, and some of them are even more perfect! If I were the heroines, I would definitely pick them.

At least, I wished real life worked as easily as the heroines in these stories. Too bad I'm much too introverted, much too shy to even be able to approach boys like that. But I've decided that this year, will be the year that I will try to make some friends of my own for once and maybe even find my own love in the process. Hopefully, with a new and improved mindset, I can finish high school with a bang! 

***********************

Dear Diary,
Tomorrow marks my first day in a new high school. We've settled in to our new home, and the only places I've familiarised myself with are this street we're on — and the small park opposite — but here's a fresh new entry to make a fresh new start!

I'm a little nervous on whether or not I can step out of my comfort zone, but I decided to try my best! 

Love always,
Kate

PS. I heard from mom that there are a couple of boys around my age on this same street. I wonder if they're close childhood friends, just like in those novels! <3

"I've read so many romance-genre works, and the outgoing, lively nice guy, never ends up with the girl. I've always wondered why. This is a story about me, a serial romantic who buries myself in romance books, and my very own nice guy."

A/N This story is written in first person and dedicated to all the nice guys in movies, novels and dramas, who didn't win.
P.S. The image, I believe, is a royalty free image (from the interwebs) which should hopefully be safe for use.

I look outside the mansion. A certain mansion located in a certain countryside. I picked up my cane and wore my coat. Even though it's Spring my old body cannot handle the cold temperature that a youngster doesn't mind.

	Why is an old man like me went outside despite the fragility of my body? I felt that I should spend the day outside, staying in a certain place. I picked up my smartphone, plugged in earphones, opened the music, and played the playlist with the name Bandori.

	The songs in that playlist are ones I always listen during my teenage years until today.

	I didn't introduce myself, no? Pardon me.

	My name is Sai Kaiku, an 89-years-old bachelor. I don't have any relatives and I didn't adopt any child. My current hobbies are collecting book and clocks. During my prime up until now, I like reading Manga and Light Novels, watching Anime, and playing Japanese Mobile Games.

I work hard to save enough money to support my hobbies, likes, and daily life. When I was 55-years-old, I have enough money and secluded myself in the mansion I bought that is located in the countryside.

I end up being a bachelor because I have lost interest in women in real life. It happened around when I was a 1st year middle school student. I happen to see an add about a rhythm game called BanG Dream Girls' Band Party. I was interested in that game. I tried playing it. When I was reading the stories, I became more immersed in it. The band that I like the story the most is Roselia that time. And the characters I like the most are Yukina, Sayo, Chisato, Rinko, and Saaya.

And then, before I knew it, I'm collecting many merchandise, novels, and others. I played many games, as well. Money is never a problem for me. I only need to multiply the money I had.

I concluded that time. Girls from real life are absolutely inferior to Waifus.

Since I had a terrible reputation, it was the finishing blow to my romance life. I was known for being emotionless that it scared everyone that will approach me.

If I'm emotionless, then what is the feeling I have for my Waifus? I cannot say that it is love. It is more like a twisted desire for me.

In the first place it's not like I don't have emotions. I'm only indifferent to my surroundings.

I also tried voluntary helping others back then. Community service, blood donation, and many more. But I only felt those things tedious and mundane.

I only do what's interesting for me and time passed before I knew it.

Oh, it seems I reached my destination. A park with a 100-year-old Sakura Tree in the middle. I sit on the bench nearby.

There are no people in my surroundings. Of course, since it's already the end of the world.

Meteors have fallen to many continents and those continents have fallen to the depths of the ocean themselves. And this countryside has been isolated. I'm the only one who lives here. I didn't care about what people do as long as they don't involve me, so I didn't know what the rest of the people do.

Really, it is a good thing that I quit being a Clan Head before this chaos.

I turned off my phone. I enjoyed the silence of my surrounding and the view of the Sakura Tree.

In the midst of silence, I noticed a meteorite from space coming this way.

I didn't mind that and continued to enjoyed the view of the part.

"I'm really glad that I went to the park one last time."

Those are my final words before everything become black.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
There he goes off again. If you could only shut up for once.
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep*
Shut up already.
I got dressed, it's time to go to work again…
 
I got to my office.
"This is not your office!", said my old boss.
"Opps!"
I forgot I am not from that office.
Everyone was staring at me with some sort of a jealousy in their eyes. Suck it, losers, if you want to climb up you gotta work.
I go to the new office.
There was someone in my desk. It's the girl from yesterday. What's she doing here?
"Good morning", my boss said, behind me.
"Don't scare me like that.", I said.
"You didn't got scared, be honest.", she said.
"Takahashi-san, you got a new novelist to edit.", Shizuka said, coming to me.
"Another one?", I said, surprised, " I mean I am only taking care of 15 novels.", I said.
"Well I'll help you out if you need, you seem a great editor, so I am sure you'll take care of it.", my boss said.
"Just don't make the deadlines to close to each other!"
"Fine. Go meet her, she is waiting for you in your desk!", she said pointing at my desk.
 
I went up to my desk.
Wait it's her.
How did i end up taking care of her novel?
"Oh, the guy from yesterday.", she said.
"I'm Takahashi Takumi, your editor."
"Here."
She gives her manuscript.
I read it.
Not a bad novel. A good rom-com novel, but she needs to work up the jokes or to make the rom-com turn into a romance. It's too serious to be a rom-com novel.
"The novel isn't bad but you have to decide whether you do a rom-com or a romance.", I said.
"It's a rom-com, doesn't it says so in the script?"
"It does, but you need to work up your jokes or make it a romance."
"Okay, then i'll try my best.", she said, disappointed.
"Your deadline is in 10 days."
"Sure.", she said, with a bored voice.
She leaves the office.
My boss was coming to me.
"So how was it?", she asked.
"It's okay, but she needs to suit herself in the category.", I said.
"Don't be to harsh, it's the first novel she is publishing."
"We have to guide them to make the best novel, otherwise I would be a bad editor…", I said.
She went back to her office.
Well I am surprised, it was her first novel. That look close to a above average novel from a 3-year expereciend novelist. Amazing.
A blonde spiky haired guy was coming to me.
 
"Damn, she is cute…", he said.
"Who ?", I didn't really knew whom he referred to.
"Boss, Nakashima Yuuka. Her serious face with her long straight black japanese hairs. Damn what glorious Yamato Nadeshiko  (traditional japanese women) look she has.", he said, idolizing her.
"Hum, I'm sorry, I'm Kosuke Kanda, I'm an editor here, too. Ah, right ! Will you help me bring this documents to her office.", he said pointing at the pile of the documents that he had in the desk.
"Hum, sure."
I smell danger, he idolizing her…
It will go bad for him if he is in love with her, but I will keep my mouth shut for now.
We knocked at the door.
"Yes! Come in!", she said.
 
We entered.
"The documents you asked.", he said.
"Oh, leave them there, I'll take care of them later, now I'm working on something else…", she said, fiercely clicking on her computer's keyboard.
"Okay.", he said.
We left the boss's room.
"Sigh", Kosuke sighed.
"What?", I wanted to do a little test to see if he loved her.
"She is really diligent, what a great person she is…sigh."
"I guess so, too."
He is for sure completely fallen for her… 
Poor him. 
I guess I'll go back to work I still have one hour until the lunch.
It was lunch time, finally.
Kosuke was coming to me, again.
"Oi, wanna go eat with me?", he asked.
"I have a name I'm Takahashi Takumi."
"Ok then, Takami, it's okay, right ?"
 
What a weird nickname, but I guess no problem.
"Okay, then."
"Wanna go eat, then, Kosuke?", I asked.
"Sure, let's go.���
We made our way into the cafeteria.
He grabbed his bento box where he had two onigiris, with a hamburger, and some sushi pieces in other boxes. What a weird combination… 
I grabbed my usual Yakisoba bread.
"What a good bento box you have there, are you good at cooking?", I was kind of intrigued by it he didn't looked the guy who cooked well.
"No, not really. My sister does it for me, she is great at cooking. She is a chef, she has her own restaurant. Why don't you come with me in another day. Her food is really good!", he said, biting fiercely the hamburger.
"Hum, okay I guess…"
"By the way, there is something I wanna confess to you…"
"What are you in love with me ?", I asked, laughing.
I knew what it was, to be honest. 
"Not you… I think I like Nakashima Yuuka, our boss. But I don't really know how to step-up.", he said.
 
Game over, kid. There is no way you will win her. I feel really bad for him.
What should I do, what should I say, should I tell him?
It would be the most kind way of ending this…
Well they asked me to not say to anyone so I think I will evade this…
"I am not really good at those kinds of stuff.", I said.
"But you were a romance novelist… And now you edit lots of romances… Aren't you supposed to know something?", he said.
He had a point…
Well, then I guess I'll have to do something.
 
"Well, then, you'll have to tell her your feelings. Other way, she won't know them, nor can you express them. In novels, for example, you can have the best story, but if you don't know how to write it, it's game over. The same happens in those kinds of stuff.", I advised him.
He was burning in excitement.
He looked like he was getting pumped.
"Okay, then I guess I'll try out something tomorrow!", he said, finishing the bento and got off the cafeteria.
"Good."
Well, I tried to save him. He tried to dig up something from me, so I had to destroy him. I'm sure he has no chance of end up dating her.
I guess I'll get back to my desk… I have still 20 minutes but of break time, I will get bored if I stay here.
I was in the hall that connected the boss's office and the editor's office. I hear something falling in the bosses office. What is it? Boxes?
I'm feeling a dejavu since that day i found them in the archive…
I can't be, right? I mean it's almost work time. Oh right, I have documents to give to them I guess can use that as a excuse to come in.
I go get them in my desk with the minimal sound possible.
I open up the door that leads to the boss's office.
 
"Boss, I have documents to give to you…", I said, as I open the door.
There they were again…
They were in the office, Yuuka in top of Shizuka, barely wearing clothes. Kissing and rubbing their bodies one against the other.
"Why didn't you knock!", said Shizuka, throwing me a portfolio and some files she had nearby, that probably fell from a box that they made file, in the meantime.
"Sorry!", I said, closing the door right before it.
What was I expecting…
What is he (Kosuke) expecting…
There is no way that she will fall for him.
He will be only hurting himself. Poor him, yet there is nothing I can do... They are on their hands.
"You can come!", one of them said, I couldn't distinguish who it was because their voices were similar.
I come in.
"There you go, the document you asked me…", I said leaving the documents there and leaving.
"Sorry…", Shizuka said, in a soft voice.
"What?",  I was not sure what she done to make her apologize to me.
"Well, it was our fault, we thought we had still time… And I threw stuff at you and threw you things…", she said, with her soft, begging for mercy voice.
"Ah, no problem, it was my fault too, I should've knocked…", I said.
"Well, there you go, your coffee.", said Yuuka, that was doing a coffee with a machine she had in her office.
Those two really do look a lot like each other, in their own way. What a cute couple.
"I'll be getting to work, then.", I said, grabbing the coffee and leaving their office.
"Good, work!", both of them said.
It was already the time for everyone to enter in the shift…
Kosuke was making his way into the editor's office.
"Oh, Takami! You're here already!", he said to me.
"Yeah…"
"I remembered I had to give out some documents to boss…", I completed.
"Oh, you forgot your deadline too, I guess that happens sometimes…", he said, making the face of «I understand you».
 
I guess I'll stick with that excuse…
It comes back to my mind. There is no way of him getting her. He will hurt himself. I am like a forced sadist, if I could tell him I would do so, but… Ahhh! Forget it, mind, and come back to work.
*After work*
Ahh, what a day, I'm beaten.Today was the publishing day of two novels…
I'm so tired. I wanna go home and finally get some rest. I guess I'll go on a beer hall and drink some… I get out of the company and went to the street that connected to the beer hall.
There is that little lake… A good perfect spot to get ideas for  a novel. I wonder if I find some of my writers here. No way, I mean, not impossible but, very unlikely.
Long straight black hairs, strapped by a ponytail in the back. Wait, I think I know that girl there. She is writing with a pen and a notebook. And while she is writing she doesn't even look at the paper. It was like she was focused in the scene more than anything else… What a genius she must be… I think I will recommend my company too her. I can't see her face, though, so I guess I will go present myself to her…
"Lady in the lake, with the notebook and a pen. If you wanna write something professionally come to our company…", I said to her…
"Well, I already work in a company…", she said, not stopping writing to look at me.
Of course she must be already grabbed, I mean she is so talented.
But still that ponytail reminds me of someone…
"Are you sure, you would be in a good company…", I said.
"Well, I can't really destroy my contract…", she said, looking at me.
It was Ren Izumi…
"Izumi-san ? What are you doing here.", I said.
"Well, I'm adding a scene that suits better the rom-com…", she said continuing her writing.
She looked good doing so. The slight breeze that made her ponytail fly a bit, while she was swinging that pen, up and down, without even looking, but still keeping her calligraphy readable.
"I am looking forward to that novel…", I said.
"And the money you will have from it", she said, with a grin in her face.
"Before, I didn't saw this as a work. Only, until, recently (talking about her wife's dead) I lost my passion. I guess, I need to re-ignite the flame, I am editing a lot of novels because of that… More the novels, more the probability of finding the author that will do it…"
"I hope to be the one.", she said, smiling.
"Work hard for that…", I said.
"Who said I am working for you!", she said, making a funny-mad face.
"I never said that… But if you please the editor, you'll for sure please the community, because the editor has seen loads and loads of titles and good quality novels... "
"Aren't you being too narcissist…", she said, retracting that face.
"No, it's a reality…"
Now that I look closely, she was barefoot, and with her feet on water… How much purity that figure gives her…
"Why are you looking at my feet…", she said, hiding her feet.
"If you don't want to people look at it, then don't be barefooted…", I said.
"Well, the water it's just nice, and also you don't really have a reason to look at them…"
"It's night, there is no reason to the water feel nice it's cold and really unpleasant to some part of our body be in…"
"You don't understand women…", she said, laughing.
"It's not about women, it's about everyone, I bet everyone feels the same…"
She was getting up and got a towel from a bag she had.
But her wet feet slipped in the floor and she slipped and fell in the river.
"Now I am all wet…", she said, laughing, in the lake.
"I'm not even gonna comment that choice of words…"
I helped her getting out of the water.
She sneezed.
"You'll catch a cold…", I said giving her the towel that was in her bag.
"How far is your home?", I asked.
"It's like 10 bus stops away from here, I think like 12 kilometers or something…"
"You'll catch a cold for sure, my home is just around this block wanna get a change of clothes before going home?"
"You don't have women's clothes in there… Or are you a pervert who buys women's clothing in stores…"
"I don't…"
"Oh, right��� You probably prefer stealing them right after usage, you pervert"
"No! I have a sister that comes sometimes, and she left some of her clothes when she comes."
"Boring…", she said, probably commenting the real reason.
"Let's go then…", I suggested.
"Sure."
Well it has been time since I had someone in my home. Only my sister came like 4 months ago… Not that I feel lonely, but, sometimes I guess it's fine to spend the night with someone that's not your shadow… We are going home, then… I mean to my home!
"What are you laughing at?", she said, cometting the little laugh I made to her.
"Nothing really…"
The street was full of people going to the train station, probably going back to home from work. Some of them might be going for a nomikai. Having fun, working, spending money in things to have fun, this might be what everyone does… It's been a while since I done that with anyone…
"Why are you looking at those people.", she said, probably aware of my thoughts.
"I was thinking when was the last time I went to a nomikai…"
"Hmm, I see… Wanna go drink with me some other time…"
Is it okay, I mean she looks young, I bet she is probably still in school. She can't even drink alcohol, of course not!
"Why are you thinking I'm underage?", she asked, looking she was reading my thoughts.
"Are you not?"
"I am not! Don't you remember ? I told you I was 25!"
"No way!", I don't remember her saying her age…
"I am not lying!", she said, doing a sweet light sucker punch in my arm.
"Show me your ID then!", I said, carrying on with the joke.
"Is that what you need, okay then!", she said grabbing her ID from her purse.
Is she really gonna?
No way, I was joking, I thought she was joking too.
"See!", she said showing the ID with a embarrassed face.
It was true, she was 25.
"You look so young…", I said, with a slight tone to mock her.
"I don't know whether I should feel happy or insulted now!", she said.
We got to my home.
"We're here!", I said.
"Simple, eh.", she said.
"Now it's your time to mock me ?", I was slightly insulted.
"I didn't meant to insult you, really. I prefer having a simple house, too, because I live by myself, I would feel lonely if I lived in a big house…"
"I thought you were calling me poor!"
"Poor…", she said, mocking me 
"That won't work, now."
"Oh ! I missed my timing!", she said, depressed.
We entered in the house, I was remembering if I didn't forgot to throw out anything or if I had nothing unclean or something, I guess not...
"Go take a bath…", I suggested.
"So you can drink my bathwater?", she said.
"How shameless…"
"But you didn't said no!", she commented.
"No! Of course not!", I said.
"Of course you didn't said no, right?" 
"No! Of course I wouldn't drink that water!", I said, kind of mad by the way she understood it.
"Thank you for the bath!", she said, making her way to the bathroom.
I guess I'll take a bath later. I will prepare something to eat…
I will go ask if she wants to eat, too.
"Rina, do you want to eat too?", I asked.
" «Rina» ? Who is Rina?", she asked.
Oh god, I mistaken her name from my dead wife. How could I make such a mistake. Now I will have to make something up.
"Was it your girlfriend?", she asked.
"No!"
"Then?", she wouldn't knock herself out, she was too curious.
"I will talk about it later…", I avoided it.
"So wanna eat here, too?", I asked.
"Sure, but tell me about that…"
"About what ?", I was making myself dumb to see if she avoided touching the subject.
"About that «Rina» , I mean I smell romance in there, so I wanna know about it…", she said.
"Ah, sure…", I guess I'll tell her.
I was going to make some yakisoba.
It's simple dish.
Boiling some water, put the carrots and the brocoli, in the right timings.
Then, boiling some water and put the pasta in it…
Then when is cooked gather up everything in the pan where I cooked the meat, and add the soy sauce, etc.
It's not the normal yakisoba, I don't know if it even is yakisoba, but it was the way she done it. How that smell of the soy sauce in the pan made me remember her…
"Fuwa~, I'm refreshed, thank you for the bath… Oh that smell, smells good, oi!", she said, with her hair still wet, and wearing the clothes I gave her, the shampoo she used was really smelling good…
"Do you drink beer?", I asked.
"Yeah!", she seemed to be wanting to drink something.
"There you go, underage!", I said giving her an apple juice I had that looked like beer.
"Oi!", she seemed mad.
"There you go.", I said giving her the real beer.
She gave a gulp on the beer, drinking it with one go.
Mostrar painel lateral
"Huwaaa~. Beer after bath is amazing!", she seemed really refreshed by it.
"There you go, Yakisoba , but not really yakisoba, serving!", I said.
She grabbed the shopsticks, went to the table and started eating
"This is so good!", she said skipping the Itadakimasu, everyone does normally.
"Where are your manners!"
"Itadakimasu, sorry it was just too good.", she said, still with food in her mouth.
"Rina would do better.", I said, letting slip her name again...
"That «Rina» again, who is her! I forgot to ask you!"
 Damn, she remembered. Why did I said that, again! I bet she would have forgot. I'm dumb!
"About that… Rina was my ex-wife, she died 3 years ago.", I said.
"So that's why, you were at the cemetery! I mean this clothes are from your sister. «she comes here sometimes», didn't you said… You lied to me, I knew they were from your wife! You are a terrible liar, by the way.", she said.
"Those clothes are from my sister, though.."
"Damn…"
"I didn't had the courage to stay with her clothes, so I gave them to her mom."

An editor, whose wife died 3 years ago, slowly started regain intrest in novels, again, because of some authors he met.

To be honest, finding myself standing at the center of this fully furnished room was my least concerns.

It's pretty much how to divert my eyes from all of these good looking animated people who are staring at me.

Wah! Let me breathe for a second okay! 

Quietly scanning the whole room the moment I opened my eyes was really a bad idea. Now I could'nt even find a single space to focus on except the glass or was it diamonds ceiling? 

"Remoa Arsis Slain do you still denied your crime?" 

Again,I found my little self staring at the man who has pale skin,moppy white hair , pair of red eyes and a face that could destroy any of my favourite country. Sigh, he really looked like my darling Accelerator. 

With his eyes alone I could imagine his seiyuu Nobuhiko Okamoto but instead of speaking in Japanese version it's more like the dubbed one.

Though,It's somewhat dissapointing to hear English word come out of his mouth I know that it's for the best as sub would not magically appear as he spoke.

Seeing that no one responded into his question I wonder if this Remoa Arsis Slaine lad is me? 

The probability of that idea is high as I divert my eyes for a second to see a weird shackle chaining my hands. Ugh, back to my Accelerator look-a -like.

Minutes easily passed by with me still staring at the man who asked the question earlier and whispers once again filled the room. 

I really wish that I could hear their gossipings like those italian words on some of my novels to be more aware of what the fuck is happening?

Maybe I should really asked if I am Remoa. It would save some time until I could figure it out how i ended up in this situation.

This scenery somehow is giving me a de javu vibes.

I had a Remoa  character that was inspired by my friend's name as the main villainess of my first published Fantasy-Romance novel entitled Regal Academy.

As a rough draft novel out of nothing but cliche's experience of mine It has 46 chapters with no solid plot and a well used overpowered main character with a lot of love interest.

The story line is normal but what made me like to continue it was the Fantasy theme as I was really inspired back then to create my own world. 

Remoa the main villainess was exiled at the chapter before the Epilogue by the hand of Top 1 student of the academy as well as her childhood slash fiance Cairo whose looks was inspired by my second favourite anime— 

Oh fuck.

Lucky enough to be reincarnated at my first novel. Doomed because of the ungrateful characters that I created.

Hailey really did drag me all the way to my mom why?! I'm still trying to figure out what just happened.


"....Hey?"


Hailey didn't answer me.


"Hun did you hurt Hailey?"- Mom


"I ummm I don't know."


"What happened exactly? Why did you scream Hailey?"- Mom


"Well I met an old man and one of his friends hu-ug"


Hailey elbowed me with all her strength although it didn't hurt I don't want to make her anyway madder.


"... Mom can I just  have my movie ticket."


"Sure hun but were not gonna watch The Good Boys I got tickets to The Lion King instead."


"What?! Why!?"


"Oh I love The Lion King."- Hailey 


"The Good Boys are rated R hun."


"So?!"


"Your not old enough."


"Yet you gave me those romance novels."


"Thats...."


"It's not any different I've read stuff I can't unread."


"Do you wanna get smacked?"- Mom


"No ma'am."


 Man why does this always happen to me? Dad soon joined us and we went into the theater but I soon fell asleep 25 minutes into the movie when was the last time I actually fell asleep? I bet my father is going to tell my mom what happened earlier sure hope he don't. We went to Gattiland for the pizza I used to enjoy playing the games all the time but now they all seem boorish but that didn't stop Hailey dragging me everywhere in the arcade area she even used the money mom gave me when she found out I wasn't going to play anything.


*Meanwhile* (Lucy POV)


He's behaving more like a teenager I wonder what he saw, heard and felt for him to feel this way. Is it because I gave him those types of novels? He's acting more of a smart-ass than normal should I be worried for him? I don't know what he went through nor can I imagine but still this big of a change. At least I know he can sleep now. I left a message for the hospital director saying I wanted to talk to him about my son if I told him the truth on the phone I believe he would have sent me to a mental hospital. luckily I got to him before he was about to leave I told him he decreased in size and mass he said to come in with Zack in 2 days.


"Hun we're going to the doctor's."- Mom


"Right now, right now?" 


"...Yes."


"Alright I'll get dressed."


"Okay but I want to show them to you as a slime then a human but I don't want you to be naked."


"Oh there's no problem there I can store clothes in my stomach"


"What?"


"That's just how my body works."


"Ok?"


Is that all his quirk does? No that can't be right Michael said he's going to make him stronger. We got there 15 minutes early and what I said wasn't exactly a lie either it turns out Michael could control his size and mass after he absorbed the Great Sage. He was much easier to carry of this way too. I carried Zack all the way to the directors office the one I went to last time, but only the director was there this time not the doctor he immediately noticed Zack. 


"Hello Nick."

"Hello Ms. Todd I'm guessing this little guy is Zack."


'I an't little.'

[You are in this form you are your adorable, soft and squishy]

"This is the first time I've seen a slime this small."- Director


'Are you trying to sleep with me Great Sage?'


"Yeah you can do something even more amazing too." Lucy put Zack down without him realizing it.

[I always sleep you sir]

"Go ahead and Zack."

'What is wrong with you!?'

"Zack!"

'Oh shoot'

Zack quickly transformed into his human form with his clothes on in mere seconds in front of him and his mom.


"Oh My God."


"Yep whats up?"

"....."

"... Yeah he grew this body a few days ago and he's so much different than he was before."- Mom


"Love you too ma."


".....Ok can you give me a minute I need to make a phone call."


Nick made his phone call he was speaking in Japanese so Ms Todd didn't know anyting he was saying but Zack did. He requested to speak to someone named Nezu and started explaining that there was a slime named Zack that grew a body.


"Who was that?"- Mom


"Just a friend. He's going to go to your house in 3 days to meet Zack."

"Why is he so interested in.... You know what nevermind."


"So can I go back to school?"


"Yes but no."


"Huh?"- Mom/Zack


"I'm going to be real with you since Zack turned into a slime he's been recorded dead."


"What? Why?!"- Mom


"Well this has never happened before, he's literally the only slime that's ever grown a body."


"What really I am?!"


"Yep so if you want to go to school you need a new identity which my friend will help you with."


"Well can I just change my last name there's many people named Zack in the world."- Zack


"I don't see why not have you thought of one already?"- Nick


"Yeah."


"What is it Zack?"- Mom


"Tempest"


"Zack Tempest I like it"- Nick

This novel is a fanfiction between "My Hero Academia" and "That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime" but with my own twists most of the characters I'm going to introduce are original characters but there will be some characters from the anime/manga from my hero Academia


hey guys I'm a new writer and new to this app so constructive criticism and any type of advice is appreciated to no bounds

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol


----------------------------------

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ
