This review is based on the free chapters (up to ch. 18). MC, Aresha (Asha), gets teleported to a new world through magic (THIS is NOT an isekai/reincarnation! She didn't DIE, just got knocked out and teleported before her life was in danger) and meets Ethan, her destined partner. It was difficult to enjoy the story because of grammatical issues, inconsistent verb tenses, random perspectives (switching between 3rd person and 1st person without relevant indication) and inconsistent genders. Maybe it gets better in later chapters? Who knows, but the free chapters weren't proofread and the story has been out for 2 years or so. I wasn't fond of the MC. Yes, she is going through trauma, but that's no excuse to lash out at someone else for no reason. She's intelligent, but clearly lacks common sense. The lack of communication was suffocating. Actually, instead of communicating, she imposed her beliefs and customs onto Ethan. Instead of talking things out to understand each other and ask WHY he chose her, WHY she was summoned there, and every other WHO/WHAT/WHEN/WHERE/WHY questions both might have, they don't talk about it. I like the idea behind the story; it seems interesting. However, it feels like there was something lacking to keep me reading (aside from the issues mentioned above). Well, these were my thoughts after reading a glimpse of this novel. Read and judge the story yourself.

I can't edit, so I am updating! Going back to "isekai" it is the appropriate term here because it means "other world" aka Asha went to another world, but no deaths were there. She was transported, not reincarnated. I made a slight blunder mistake.

WARNING! -DARK ROMANCE- β€œWhy do you have scars?” All of sudden, Iris changed the topic, as she looked at Cane in the eyes. She was still clutching to his sleeves. β€œYour father gave me,” Cane replied. He thought, Iris wouldn’t remember this conversation when she woke up. β€œThat must be so painful.” β€œThey are.” β€œWill the scars heal?” β€œI don’t think so.” The night indeed made you vulnerable and let you said something that you would never admit when it was bright. The obscurity softened your heart. β€œToo bad. You have a warm soul.” Iris frowned slightly. β€œI no longer have a soul.” He had sold his soul for the freedom of his people. There was nothing left of him right now. β€œYes, you have, but you are in so much pain.” Iris blinked her eyes. β€œYour beast is in pain. You have so many scars.” β€œThe only scars that I have is on my face.” Iris shook her head meekly. β€œI am not talking about your face. I am talking about your soul. Too bad, you are in so much pain… what my father and brother had done to you must be painful…” And after that, Iris closed her eyes and fell asleep. ====================== She is the daughter of an alpha who has killed his family, razed his pack and has also made his people slaves.

Will Zara fight the dangers that await or embrace her true destiny? **EXCERPT** "I... didn't want to be late for work. You seemed busy, so I thought I'd get a head start." Snow raised an eyebrow. "Really? Or is it because last night affected you so much that you couldn't stand being around me?" "Don't flatter yourself, Snow. You didn't affect me at all." He smirked, stepping closer. "Is that so?" His fingers brushed my chin, tilting my face up. My pulse quickened. "We're at work," I snapped, swatting his hand away. "This isn't professional." "You're my wife," he murmured. "You're supposed to obey me at all times." I bit back a retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. Slowly, I stepped closer, letting my fingers graze his chest. His smirk wavered for a second when his wolf reacted and Snow bit his lips. "Careful, Boss," I purred seductively. "Don't hurt those lips. I'm sure plenty of girls would love to kiss them." Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. "And you? Are you dying for a taste?" Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. "Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance againstβ€”" I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless. *************** MATURE CONTENT Participating in the Viral Book Call Contest.

The Prince of Military Academy Is Actually A Girl!

After dying from a strange terminal illness, Ling Lan was reborn into a world 10000 years into the future. Although she dearly wished she could just live a peaceful and uneventful life in her new healthy body, fate had other plans ... Forced to disguise herself as a boy just so she could inherit her deceased father's premium military benefits, Ling Lan's journey to adulthood was full of challenges. After much difficulty, she finally turned sixteen when she could drop the charade. But before she could grasp her newfound freedom to get married and start her own family, a twist of fate results in her being thrown into the Federation's top military boys' school. With these twists of fate, Ling Lan had little choice but to walk further and further down a path of no return, one of cold and aloof dominance ... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ryuxenji the translator here. :3 Here are some other things you should know: 1) This story is NOT primarily a romance. QI's system right now categorizes all novels taken from the female novel Chinese site (θ΅·η‚Ήε₯³η”Ÿη½‘) as 'romance' without fail, regardless of whether they truly are romance. So, if you are here just for the romance, you might want to find a different novel. There will be some romance eventually, but most of this novel is Sci-Fi/Xianxia with a lot of world-building and character development. 2) I use British spelling. So, please ensure spelling errors are really errors before reporting them. 3) No matter what the release rate up top says, the guaranteed release rate right now is 1 chp/day (a.k.a. 7 chps/week). All else is extra at my discretion. (I'll try my best, but RL responsibilities come first.)

Valerian Empire

A dark time when the creatures of shadow descended unto the tranquil human lands, making their existence known. A time followed when empires were led by humanity's conspiracy and betrayal, a time filled with hatred, but unbeknownst to the humans, they were only mere puppets, pawns of greater beings of darkness, entities with the power to crush anything and everything in their way. What happens when a small human girl catches the eye of one of these so-called greater beings, a pureblooded Lord? Can an ant such as her survive the political strifes and fearsome feuds between the lands and the monsters that control them. For those who fear vampires, ghosts and the unknown, I offer two words of advice… Tread lightly. -------- "Why should I avoid him? He was a perfect gentleman, a good man," Katherine Welcher argued in his defense. "Good or not, neither matter," Alexander Delcrov warned her, "As long as you're under my wing, you shall behave and listen to my words. Do not let any man kiss you, Katherine. I don’t want others to call you improper." "There was nothing improper about it! And I'm not yours to obey," she blurted out in annoyance, feeling her face flush with embarrassment for the second time this evening, "I mean, you can't order me aroβ€”-" "So disobedient," he stated with nonchalance before moving his hand from her waist to her back, pulling her closer to him as they danced. His breath tickled her nape. "So you’ll only listen if you are mine?"
