commonwealth writers shortlist 2020

Main character dies killed by a truck in the middle of the sea and is reborn 400 years in the past. Simply put. MC is not a good man. He's a cruel, ruthless, two-faced, false asshole. On the borderline between a psychopath and a sociopath. He will do anything to achieve his goal, even if he has to drown the world in blood. Corruption, power, politics, war. The language can be vulgar, there will be blood, there will be guts and sex. Probably someone will be offended by reading ... but I don't give a shit.

The world of Althera was heading toward ruin. Yet no one realized it. In a small village, a young man named Ren lived with knowledge he was never meant to possess. He knew the future. He knew the tragedy that would befall the world. And he knew that by the end of the story, nearly everyone would lose something precious. Meanwhile, a young woman named Elaria embarked on a journey to change the fate that had once shattered her life. With unwavering resolve, she sought to save those she had once failed to protect. Elsewhere, a young swordsman named Leon carried wounds from the past that had never truly healed. In search of the meaning behind the strength he wielded, he stepped into a world slowly sinking into darkness. The fate that was meant to follow a single path began to change. Ancient Relics that had slumbered for thousands of years began choosing new bearers. Secrets buried since the First Era gradually came to light. And behind it all, a mysterious man named Alunaris merely watched. One who was never recorded in history. One who was never meant to exist. One who might know the origin of the entire world. As the past, present, and future began to collide, four souls who were never meant to meet would be forced to confront Althera’s greatest truth. That destiny is not something to be followed. But something to be defied. An epic fantasy tale of friendship, loss, hope, and the struggle against a fate already written. Because sometimes... The last hero is not the one who saves the world. But the one who refuses to surrender to it.

Welcome to The tortured writers. They are not as perfect as they seem.

THERE are tragic writers who live out in the world they are the Gods tv destined to die again and again tragically forever

1200 years in the future, two lives, separated through time and distance meet by random chance. One escaping invasion, the other working to preemptively stop an invasion. Together they will find common cause, and from it, find new cause for themselves.

Writer: "Hello, there." He said to you—reader. "Don't worry. This whole 4th wall-breaking thingy, won't be the main theme of this novel. I promise" he said winking. "And like your first time, it's gonna end real quick." He said holding his laughter. "Anyways, If you are looking for a novel: full of bad parodies, jokes that don't land quite right, and gore scenes that might make you question the author's sanity. And of course, without forgetting to mention, a bunch of Jojo-like characters, meaning: Hot, and beefy dudes—by the way, I'm one of them.—that will make you question your sexuality, I can assure you that. And all of it covered with cringe; and when I say cringe, I meant it, a lot of it. If you are looking for that, and somehow, wasn't locked up in an asylum yet. Oh, boy! Do I have a novel for you? Oh! I almost forget to say; so I'm gonna say it now, for some reason, the author of this "thing" decided to only introduce me—the main character—in the story later on. So it gonna take some time for your boy here, to show up. But don't worry, I will show up—inevitably, at some point, I think. And one more thing, my name is Writer and the author calls himself Author; so if it gets confusing in the future, blame that uncreative pile of garbage, not me."
