The way the stories are curated and structured can make a short story anthology give a sense of belonging. If they have a common thread or if they show different perspectives on a similar topic, it can make readers feel like they're part of something. Also, well-developed characters that readers can identify with play a role.
A strong community setting, relatable characters, and shared goals can all create that sense. For example, if the characters in the story have a common interest or purpose, it can make them feel like they belong.
A sense of belonging can be shown through characters' relationships. For example, if two characters are always there for each other, like in a friendship story. They share secrets, support each other through tough times, which indicates they belong in each other's lives.
One short story could be 'The Most Dangerous Game' by Richard Connell. In the story, the main character Rainsford, an experienced hunter, initially feels a sense of isolation when he finds himself on Ship - Trap Island. However, as he battles against General Zaroff, he forms a kind of connection with the island's environment. He uses his skills to survive in the jungle, and in a way, he starts to belong there as he becomes part of the 'game'. It shows that through struggle and adaptation, a sense of belonging can emerge even in the most hostile of places.
Family - like relationships are also a big theme. In many 'a sense of belonging fanfiction' stories, the characters form bonds that are as strong as family. They support each other, protect each other, and through these relationships, they gain that feeling of belonging. It could be a group of friends who become like a surrogate family. Also, the theme of home is quite prevalent. Whether it's a physical place or a group of people, finding a 'home' where one belongs is a central idea.

In this world, the place where the gods opened their eyes turned into a forbidden area, and the protagonist survived in this dangerous environment. The protagonist of the story obtained a piece of amethyst that could dissolve foreign substances, allowing him to embark on the path of cultivation.

Ring of Destiny: As long as it's written by the squid lady, I'll read it. [My expectations are full. Those who don't have a collection, hurry up.] The Lord of the Mysteries 2 should be the starting point. It was currently the most popular. When the Lord of the Mysteries first movie was released, it was unknown if there were more than 10,000 initial orders. At that time, it was a very niche topic, and not many people wrote about it. In fact, the threshold for reading [Foreign Names Are Hard to Remember] was quite high at the beginning. When I read the first few chapters, I felt that it should be a good work, but it would be very slow. ---Many people would give up after reading the beginning, thinking that they wouldn't be able to continue reading. However, I was quite patient and was lucky enough to finish the first volume. At that time, my evaluation was that the first volume was a very, very good novella. After reading it, my soul would tremble. All the patience and persistence were worth it. In the end, all the foreshadowing was answered. It could be directly produced from the middle, so it should be a rather exciting work with excellent results. The Lord of the Mysteries 'writing wasn't the best, nor was his story writing the best. However, his foundation was very solid. There were 22 paths to godhood and 220 Beyonder classes. The setting of this creative theme could be said. After the Arcane Divine Throne, there was another amazing mountain monster. Because of the very complete setting, based on this huge world view, there was actually no problem even writing a seven-part song. It was a setting that could be eaten for a lifetime. It was no worse than the Harry Potter series, A Song of Ice and Fire. To describe the world from different perspectives, two more books with five million words would not be enough. There were too many things that could be written. "The Great Ming State Preceptor":"The Great Ming State Preceptor" is an amazing time-travel novel. With the Ming Dynasty as the background, the author showed the protagonist's helplessness and determination to change history through the story of Jiang Xing Huo's ninth transmigration. The name of the main character, Jiang Xing Huo, implied that a single spark could start a prairie fire. Whether he could change the wheel of history filled the readers with anticipation. The plot of this book was compact, and the knowledge points were dense, allowing one to learn a lot of economics knowledge. The protagonist Jiang Xinghuo's experience in the Ming Dynasty and the modern theory that changed the world were shocking. His determination and courage were admirable. The author's intention was amazing. This book did not have any tricks, but changed the world through the protagonist's thoughts and actions. Overall,'The Great Ming State Preceptor' was a good book that made people look forward to it. The recommendation index was five stars. As a snake hunter, Xu Ying had always been honest and diligent until this day when he caught a different snake... On the first day of the third month, incense was burning everywhere in the Divine Land. The statues that protected the villages, towns, cities, and counties woke up one after another to enjoy the sacrifices of the people. However, from that day onwards, the world was in chaos. "Who's Going to Fall in Love After Rebirth?": Fresh and Refined City Rebirth Outfit 13 chapters. In his previous life, the protagonist was a land dog. After he was killed by a disaster, he was reborn at the age of seventeen (2008). He swore that he would never be a land dog again. He started to borrow money from a rich woman and started a business to make money. First of all, don't look at the introduction of the title. This book is just to kill the readers. After reading for a long time, I feel that the elements of the book are not as much as the elements of love. The focus of this book is the daily love of the male and female protagonists (At the beginning, it was not love. The male protagonist did not admit that he was in love, but in fact, everyone understood). The female lead was a rich woman that everyone loved to see. She was also a natural idiot + social fear + inexperienced image. The description was very likable, and there was a more realistic female image as a foil, making the female lead even more cute. Overall, the overall style of the book was humorous, relaxed, and happy. There was nothing difficult to understand, and there were no major contradictions. The reader did not need to waste his brain reading the book. He just needed to read slowly and appreciate the sweet daily life of the male and female protagonists. The author had written about the various social styles of the past quite well, and the way he made money was also very correct. There were no bugs, and this book was a rare single female lead…In short, this book was very good in all aspects, and the writing style was so good that it did not seem like it was written by a newcomer. I recommend it. "Deep Sea Ember":"Deep Sea Ember" is an enjoyable novel. Although the setting is a little dark, the overall style is light. The story was fascinating, and the new pit of the big eyeballs made people look forward to it. The author used Victoria's Cthulhu style as the theme, but added some warm elements. He did not deliberately create disgusting plots, making the whole story even more outstanding. The story took place in a world sealed by thick fog. The protagonist became the captain of a ghost ship and faced a world that had been overturned. The author depicted a world full of strange visions. The isolated island states and the fleets challenging the sea became the lights of the civilized world, and the shadows of the past were still stirring in the deep sea. Although the protagonist faced many difficulties, the first thing he had to consider was how to steer the ship. This book gave readers a new perspective and thinking, allowing them to have a deeper understanding of life and emotions. All in all,"Deep Sea Ember" was a novel worthy of recommendation. It brought people the enjoyment of delicious food. 19."Gou in the Demonic Martial World to Cultivate Immortals": A new book of plagiarism. His book might not be particularly amazing, but the quality was definitely good. Moreover, he avoided poison points +max. "Who told him to cultivate!" [Rating: 4 stars] Crow's new book, the last one,"The Counterattack System Only in the Great Vehicle Stage", was very good. This one saw the power of ten oxen to shrink the ground into an inch. It really shook my old waist. The book is already fat, and I like to be relaxed and funny. Go and take a look. You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
Start by thinking of a character who feels a sense of not belonging. Then, create situations that either help them find it or make the lack of it more pronounced. Use vivid descriptions and emotions to make the story relatable.
