Summary
“Being quiet works just fine.”
That is exactly what Anakyn Retherford would say if you asked him why he never socialized.
For as long as he can remember, Anakyn has lived in the shadow of his younger sister, Natasha. Once the center of his parents’ attention, he was quickly pushed aside. That forced him to become independent far earlier than he should have. He learned to manage everything alone. His emotions, his struggles, and even his future.
Rather than seek friendship or bonds, Anakyn devoted himself to the one thing he could control: his success. He buried himself in academics, taking every opportunity available and pushing himself to the limit. With two jobs and a sickly amount of college credit, he built a future he believed would finally give him everything he wanted. But dreams require more than just his determination. They require sacrifice.
When Anakyn earns a place at Yale, he believes he has finally escaped the life that made him. But... leaving home means confronting the one thing he has avoided his entire life. Bonds. Even the most unreactive elements can form bonds in proper conditions, and Anakyn is about to discover that some are impossible to avoid.- Language:

Summary
They signed for seven years. They stayed for each other.
December 2018. Four contracts. Four pens. Four boys who didn’t know each other.
By December 2026, they were DESIRE4. And nothing was ever simple again.Jiang Heng 江恒 is the captain who carries everyone. Ice on the outside, debt on his shoulders. He signed to save his family. He stayed to protect three boys who became his brothers.
Li Pei'en 李沛恩 is the spark. Chaos in a practice room, light on a stage. He signed to make his parents’ sacrifice worth it. He stayed because four desks pushed together felt more like home than anywhere else.
Huang Xing 黄星 is the mirror. Cold, sharp, honest to a fault. He signed to prove his parents wrong. He stayed because only three people saw him fail and didn’t leave.
Qiu Dingjie 邱定捷 is the anchor. Sunshine and noise and maknae energy. He signed terrified he’d be left behind. He stayed because “four” meant no one got left behind.
From trainee desks to Bird’s Nest Stadium. From company property to their own studio.
From “no dating” contracts to the 0.3 seconds that broke the internet.
From strangers… to DESIRE4.Seven years. One group. No one gets left behind.

As they engage in a high-stakes game of counter-intelligence to purge the ship, Bethari discovers that the only thing more dangerous than the Rebels on board is falling for the Chiss commander leading the hunt.

Summary
Lilka ma trzydzieści lat, ale wygląda jak czternastolatka. Żyje na wsi z balkonikiem, ironią ostrzejszą niż brzytwa i poczuciem humoru, którego nie rozumie nawet ona sama. Codzienność dzieli między rehabilitację, rodzinne awantury, bloga pełnego autoironii i internet, gdzie łatwiej udawać kogoś innego.
To nie jest historia o wielkich zwycięstwach ani bajka o „pokonywaniu barier". To zapis zwykłego-niezwykłego życia: pełnego absurdów, kłótni, śmiesznych obserwacji i gorzkich refleksji.
„Kaleka Księżniczka z końca świata" - opowieść o dziewczynie, która nie chce być inspiracją.

Ever wanted to read about seriously idiotic ways to die? No? Too bad!

I started this last year around this time, and recently rediscovered it. Figured it was about time to finally finish it. I'll try to release chapters daily but don't get your hopes up. This was shockingly good for the time period when I started and I can't wait for y'all to see where I got my love of gore from. -

Summary
You're just a quiet soul in a noisy world, an introvert drawn into a quest you never asked for. Tasked with retrieving the set of swords, each with unique powers that are deep within the most dangerous corners of the area.
You must step far outside your comfort zone.
Along the way, you gain unexpected friends and encounter powerful enemies who wield the powerful swords. Enemies who begin to take a strange interest in you. Your strength surprises them, unnerves them.
With each sword you collect, their fascination grows with you, twisting from curiosity to something far more intense. In a world filled with chaos, it's not just swords you're collecting; it's attention, and perhaps something darker.
Will you survive the journey or be claimed by those who seek more than your defeat?

Summary
In school, we were assigned to write a character profile. One of the topics was to describe an important person in our lives. I didn't choose that topic, but I still wanted to write it anyway. So this is my rant—one that slowly stops being a character profile and turns into an unstructured collection of memories.
