I avoided this for months because I thought it was another cheesy love story. Author Moon has proven me wrong, though. Unlike other transmigration stories I have come across in Webnovel, "Accidentally Married a Fox God" accurately portrays the feelings and bewilderment of a 21st century millennial office girl suddenly transported into a fantasy world devoid of the modern conveniences and social rules she is accustomed to. The reader is drawn into her very relatable struggles, as she makes sense out of what has happened to her, then figures out how to survive in this strange world. Heroine Li Meirong is as real as one can get. She has no superpowers or special abilities, only her wits and common sense to use her modern knowledge to get by. One can't help but worry, cringe, and cheer with every hurdle she faces. Based on and inspired by traditional East Asian folklore -- the kitsune of Japan and huli jing of China -- this story paints a dream world filled with shimmering landscapes, fantastic beasts, and celestial beings, brought to life even more with the scents and flavors of Asian spices and cuisine. These provide a beautiful backdrop against which Li Meirong's journey of self-discovery unfolds. How she learns and grows in strength and knowledge despite her incongruity, is my favorite part of the story. How she falls in love (and discovers the truth regarding her destiny in this world) is but the icing on the cake! Very well written with few technical or grammatical errors, this novel deserves a place in legitimate literature and anime. It is at par with other, established novels. Plot and build up is very well paced, with skillful use of literary devices such as foreshadowing and symbolic references. Characters, even the villains and side cast, are alive and very relatable. Cliché tropes are minimal. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

You're worth it! I rarely write reviews (XP be damned, hahaha!). I used to write too (now an editor IRL). I know how it feels, to be totally consumed by it. It's like giving birth. I love LM. She's real, not a "will someday shake the heavens" type of MC, but a real woman. Courageous, never-say-never even if she's a misfit, compassionate heroine. You've got a precious gift. Keep the fire burning!

I cant possibly agree more. I avoided this after seeing it pop up on am add for facebook for months.... I dont typically read romance novels... I am more fantasy fiction. However... I found myself unable to put my phone down and even staying up late at night just to turn the next page. I could absolutely see this in an anime or full hardcopy novel. I would be first in line for sure. For me its a big deal and i will relate to you why. At a young age i developed writters block so severe i could not even read a book after my literary teacher died while i was in the middle of writting a childs fantasy novel that she wanted to publish for me. I was in the 6th grade. The first author that pulled me back to the world of reading was r.a. salvatore with the drizzt novels of forgotten realms. The second author to be able to draw me in was j.k. rowling.... You my friend are to me on par with these most notable authors. And i cant wait to read more. You have had me laughing so hard i frightened my husband... Crying and holding my breath! Thank you for sharing this world its one of the most unique persepctives i have ever come accross.

Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

Eighteen-year-old Trinity is unlike any other werewolf in her pack. For one, there were unusual circumstances surrounding her birth, for another, she is the only pack member to never shift into a wolf form. So now she doesn't quite belong anywhere. Not quite human and not quite wolf. She thought she would be able to live her life how she wanted when she had turned eighteen. Go to college, make some friends, have some fun. But what is she to do when the dangerously sexy Alpha literally falls right into her lap? "I am not human, and I am not a wolf. I don't belong anywhere..." "...we both know that no one is going to mate with me, and even if they did, they would just reject me anyway." What is the sexy, brooding Alpha going to do? The elders are making him hold these ridiculous parties to search for a mate. He doesn't want a mate, but he knows he needs a mate to finish the Alpha Circle. Without a mate, a Luna for the pack, his people would suffer. And what is he going to do when he stumbles across the girl that fate has chosen for him and he finds out she has no wolf? "This cannot be!" I roared. "There is no way that I can mate with a girl that does not even have a wolf. She will be too weak. She will be inferior. She will not be strong enough to be a Luna." "I simply could not accept her as my mate. Not fully. It wasn't safe for her. She would get herself killed. And she would bring my pack down with her." When these two meet, sparks will surely fly. But will it be from passion, or their constant fighting? Neither of them wanted a mate. Neither of them wants the mate that fate chose for them. And neither of them can make that mate bond go away. What are they going to do now that they're literally stuck with each other? ***Rating Warning*** Adult Language Violence Strong Sexual Content THIS BOOK IS UNDERDER AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT AND IT IS NOT TO BE POSTED OR PUBLISHED ANYWHERE ELSE.

Mated To The Cruel Prince

[Matured Content] Saving an injured Fae in the forest had not been Islinda's plan, and worse, he turns out to be royalty, Prince Valerie of the summer court, heir and crown prince to the throne of Astaria. But then, humans were wary of those otherworldly creatures while the Fae looked down on the humans, thinking of them as lesser creatures. Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love.  Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him.  But then, the other one comes instead.  Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage.  Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured  Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize.  Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince.  But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart!  Or could he?  ________ "What can you offer me, little human," He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything.  "Please," She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, "Just let me go."  "Fine," He shrugged as if it was an easy request, "You can go."  "W-what?" She croaked, finding it hard to believe.  "Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily." Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath.  But did he really mean?  Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet.  She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming.  Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake.  This was never freedom.  It was a hunt.  And she just became the prey.  _________ Note: This is a dark fantasy book and the male lead is a villain, so don't expect fluffy romance. What to expect? Death, gore, thick sexual tension, and explicit scenes. Also, it is not reverse harem. Gift magic castle = 5 bonus chapters! Come, let us have a wild hunt!
