Then there's 'A Day's Wait' by Ernest Hemingway. A young boy thinks he is going to die because he has a fever and he misunderstands the Celsius and Fahrenheit conversion. It's short, well - written and has a touch of humor in the boy's naivete.
Another one is 'The Ransom of Red Chief' also by O. Henry. In this story, two men kidnap a boy for ransom, but the boy is so wild and unruly that they end up paying the boy's father to take him back. It's really funny with vivid descriptions of the boy's antics.
Sure. 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry is a great one. It tells the story of a young couple who are very poor but sacrifice their most precious possessions to buy gifts for each other. Another is 'A Sound of Thunder' by Ray Bradbury, which is a thought - provoking science - fiction short story about time travel and its consequences.
One well - written short horror story is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is driven mad by the old man's vulture - like eye and ends up murdering him, then being haunted by the sound of the dead man's heart. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw' by W. W. Jacobs. A family is granted three wishes by a mummified monkey's paw, but each wish comes with a terrible and unforeseen consequence. Also, Shirley Jackson's 'The Lottery' is quite chilling. It seems like a normal small - town lottery at first, but the ending reveals a dark and disturbing tradition.
A great one is 'The Succubus's Redemption'. In this story, the succubus tries to break free from her evil nature. It's well - written as it shows her internal struggle vividly. The author does a good job of creating a relatable character despite her being a succubus.

This is a light novel, a derivative doujinshi novel. The protagonist transmigrated to the world of pirates in an era where everyone transmigrated.

Secondly, it was "The Other World That Can't Be Joked." This was a light novel-a funny and dissing novel. The protagonist had transmigrated into a strange world. The people in this world could not laugh, or they would die. However, the protagonist was the only one who would not die from laughing, so he started to joke non-stop.

You can start with classic literature anthologies. They often include short stories that are both funny and well - written. Libraries are a great place to find such anthologies.
The short story 'The Ransom of Red Chief' by O. Henry is also quite funny. Two men kidnap a boy who turns out to be so wild and unruly that they end up paying the boy's father to take him back.
Sure. There is a story about a magician who was walking down the street and turned into a grocery store. Another one is about a man who thought his wife was losing her hearing, so he stood behind her and said 'I love you' quietly. She didn't respond. He moved closer and said it louder. Still no response. Finally, he shouted it right next to her ear, and she turned around and said 'For the third time, yes, I would love to!'.
πI recommend the following two novels to you: "A Wealthy Family's Sweet Marriage: The Naughty Wife" and "The Will of Heaven".

πI recommend the following two novels to you, both of which are related to flattery. One is "I'm Not a Good Ruler", and the other is "A Farmer's Girl Who Transmigrases in Love".

The protagonist had transmigrated to a poor and wealthy family and needed to rely on his own intelligence and flattery skills to change his fate.
