There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

``` Entering the world of the Scripted Murder Game isn't scary. Playing the role of the murderer is still doable. Playing the role of the victim is fine. Playing the role of a girl is manageable. Even if you have to deal with dark, strange monsters, and accidentally get tainted by them, it's no big deal. Shuo looked at the script in his hand and felt that he could still play the part! … But after adding a bunch of teammates with mental issues, he felt that he couldn't go on acting. This script is a bit off too! Shuo, "Can we not have a murderer, a victim, a girl, or psychos, and just have a normal person?" … —————— 【Non-traditional Scripted Murder Mystery Game】【Attention: The plot will gradually shift from normal to bizarre, focusing on tasks. Each Scripted Murder Game script is original, not fan-made. Non-original scripts will be indicated.】【Ensemble cast, with undercovers, role-playing, disguises, no female lead.】 ```

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

This isn't just a great mystery, it's a great paranormal romance as well. The college setting makes it really interesting for people who like young adult or new adult novels, and it's got great dialogue between the female lead and her best friend. The love interest, River Knight, is both dreamy and dangerous--what else could you want in a book? More chapters, please!

Hey, guys 👋I'm sorry about the genre misunderstanding it's supposed to be more young-adult, mystery or thriller but unfortunately, I couldn't put those as genre. So sorry if you've been questioning.😅😉

Hello all authors. Please stop writing children protagonists into stories clearly designed for adult leads (or at the very least somewhat adult-late teens). Anime and japanese light novels influenced and ruined an entire generation of what could have been amazing writers. At no point does it make sense in this novel, nor in 99% of other CP novels. Ruins the entire reading expericence and decimates any form of immersion.

But I love you

In her previous life, Xia Shengge had always thought that she was an illegitimate daughter who could not be exposed to the public. Her birth was a sin. He was willing to be his sister Xia Ruoling's double and shooter. Even if he had to take the blame and go to jail, he would never complain. Until the last bit of value was squeezed dry by his beloved 'family'. After she was sold, she only found out that everything was a scam before she died. When he woke up from his dream, his hatred surged to the heavens. Xia Shengge walked up to the stage from behind the scenes and stripped off all the glory of being a " sister." Her sister was a genius composer with a heavenly voice? I'm sorry, she wrote the lyrics and sang the song. Her sister was the top scorer of the college entrance examination and a top student? I'm sorry, she was the one who took the college entrance examination on behalf of me. My sister is a big idiot. His sister had countless big shots backing her up. Whoever touched her would die. Sorry, the real savior of those big shots was actually her. They turned around and praised her to the top. Her sister had a crush on Lu Jiucheng, the head of the Lu Corporation, for many years and had always hyped up that she was the only one worthy of Lu Jiucheng. Xia Shengge removed her ugly makeup and swore to take away everything that Xia Ruoling was obsessed with… No, wait! Forget it. Lu Jiucheng was a paranoid and sickly big shot. He was the famous " Life-Taking Yama " in Yun Du, and she really couldn't afford to offend him. However, when she turned around, Xia Shengge was blocked by Lu Jiucheng at the corner. He kissed her passionately on the lips." You were the one who provoked me first. Now you want to run away? Too late." * * * The nine cities of Shengge, a lifetime of gentleness. In this world, there were always some encounters because they were destined, and there were always some misses because they wanted to reunite. [The cold and paranoid sickly male protagonist who is only gentle to the female protagonist VS the reborn female protagonist who is committed to regaining her identity and taking revenge.]

System Host, you're stealing the show.

[If you don't like a mainstream couple, don't enter.] One day, Le Yan finally decided to submit the application form to become a fast rider. However, Le Yan had said all the good things she could and listed her strengths one by one. The director of the Space Administration still tactfully refused Le Yan's request. Therefore, she decided to make a living on her own. After all, there were so many systems. The extra one would definitely not be discovered so quickly, so Le Yan, who had the system, happily went to do the mission. He traveled through various small worlds to eliminate the resentment of the supporting characters. However, this system that was forcefully stolen felt that its host's understanding of the mission seemed to be a little too much. For the Nth time, the system screamed. Host, please do not have any special thoughts about the original villain. Your mission is to fight the protagonist, not the villain! Le Yan: A supporting role that doesn't want to be a villain isn't a good supporting role. This is called being responsible.
