Three girls. One dorm. Endless heartbreaks, fleeting romances, and the messy, beautiful journey of learning to love, and let go. --×-- Chen Yue has always believed in love at first sight. When she finally catches the attention of her long-time crush, the cold, brilliant physics genius Han Zixuan, she thinks she's found it. But loving someone who doesn’t know how to love back is harder than she imagined, and Chen Yue must navigate the delicate line between hope and heartbreak. "You noticed me," Chen Yue whispered, fidgeting with her sleeve as she tried to hold her smile. "I did. Don't make it sound like a big deal," Han Zixuan replied, keeping his gaze distant. For a moment, the space between them felt impossibly wide. Then Chen Yue tilted her head, daring. "It is a big deal… for me." Han Zixuan stilled, the faintest flicker of softness can be seen in his eyes when he looked at her. After a pause, he looked away, murmuring to himself, "…I've been noticing you all along." --×-- Lin Meixuan has no time for romance, no patience for flirts, and certainly no interest in Fang Yichen, the smooth-talking racer who won't leave her alone. Yet as their paths keep colliding, she begins to realize that persistence can sometimes feel like care… and that care can be terrifyingly close to love. "Stop following me around," Lin Meixuan snapped, swatting his hand away. Fang Yichen only laughed, stepping closer. "I'm not following you. I'm merely supervising your happiness." "By annoying me?" "Exactly," he said, grinning like he'd just solved the universe. "If you survive me, you'll be stronger. Consider it relationship training." Her scowl deepened, but her voice betrayed a mild amusement. "You're unbelievable." --×-- Shen Anran has given up expecting love, not after all she's lost. But when Chen Haoran, the golden boy adored by everyone enters her life, she finds warmth in him. But just as she starts to believe in second chances, the past comes back to challenge everything, forcing Shen Anran to decide if being "fine" is ever truly enough. "When you say you felt distant… was it because I made you feel left out? Or because I didn't explain myself enough?" Chen Haoran asked. He rubs his thumb against the edge of the table, a habit from when he's thinking too hard. "I never wanted you to feel like you had to be understanding all the time," he continued quietly. "I just… thought if you were okay, then I didn't need to keep asking." There's a pause. "Ran… I thought we were fine," he said finally, his voice low, almost stunned. Shen Anran pressed the tissue to her lips, trying to breathe evenly. "I thought so too." --×-- >> Tags: [soft comfort • fluff • angst • sweet • romance • slow burn • comedy • teen • campus] >> Word count per chapter: 1.0k ~ 1.5k

Noel... Hollywood's beloved A-list darling... has two secrets: 1. He's gay. 2. He plans to retire after his final film and finally live openly for the first time in his life. But fate has never liked him. During the final scene of his tragic romance movie, the heroine is supposed to pretend to stab him. Instead... she grabs the wrong knife. A real one. Thanks to that, Noel dies on set. And wakes up inside the very movie he was filming. Now reborn as Noel Hartwell, the spoiled youngest son of a wealthy noble family in a European-styled 1900s world, he quickly realises two things: One: He is engaged to Evelina... the same obsessive heroine who murdered him, the male lead, in the film. Two: He absolutely refuses to die for romance a second time. Breaking the engagement should solve everything... except his new family won't allow it, Evelina falls even more violently in love with him, and the scripts of both fate and insanity seem determined to drag him to the same bloody ending. And then there are the men. THE MEN!!! Noel just wanted a calm retirement. A peaceful life. Maybe even a normal romantic relationship with a man... something he was never brave enough to pursue before in his original life. Instead, he gets a death flag... infested engagement, four dangerously attractive men circling him for reasons he does NOT understand, and a story that keeps twisting the harder he tries to escape it. He refuses to die like the original male lead. He refuses to follow the script. And he definitely refuses to fall in love with anyone who could stab him in the future. This time, Gay Romeo isn't dying for anybody. Not the heroine. Not fate. And especially not for some brooding hot guys with unfair shoulders and massive weapons of destruction under their zippers But he might accidentally seduce half the cast while trying not to.

Translation/Grammar problem :'( It's nice to read if you can handle the paaaiiinn! 3.9 star with majority in 5 and 3, and no 1star sound pretty good to me Dang i forgot that i already read this at another site, realize at chapter 300+ so might as well finished it for the 2nd time, kinda waste of time but wasting time is the reason we read, right. Gets bad towards the end. After the 340 mark if I remember correctly.Spoiler:Especially since he marries that arrogant cultivator. It starts going downhill from there. The novel has shortcomings, but you do not get bored while reading it because there are not many details. I finished in 1 day.Cookie Roman.(+)-MC is usually in the foreground but there are too many side characters and I didn't like MC very much so it was good that it was that way.-A few Empire-building novels would either have a harem (concubine logic) or no girl romance at all. Romance is not at the forefront in this series but there is a girl and it's not like some silly romance novels. MC likes the girl and she likes her they get married, no silly jokes or unnecessary extensions it happened right away.-My favorite part is that the fast pacing could have been even shorter but the MC doesn't care much about some things so the event gets longer but in a different way.(-)-MC sometimes doesn't kill people who need to be killed then they cause trouble but he somehow forgives them but too many soldiers died he doesn't care at all-World Details didn't think much about what is being sold at that price, or is it a very strong ranking or something.-Character traits are not specified, such as hair color, height, eye color.It's a novel with many things missing, but you won't get bored, read it quickly without thinkingIn some places the translation gets worse but not like MTL. (Unedited sentences)6/10 this is new https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/15925/the-daily-grind Buena novela de gestion. !!! WARNING: MTL AHEAD !!!This novel is a great read if you like kingdom-building novels, the MC uses modern weapons, government structures, and economic tactics. That being said, the translation is hot garbage, so you might have trouble understanding it from time to time. 4/5 Its a good novel if I dare do say! It is about when a guy reincarnated in a Eastern Martial Arts world where the regular humans are treated like slaves and trash and the Martial Artists themselves like gods. The MC was born as a prince in the only place that isn't really part of the sects, the East (pretty ironic if I do dare say my self), and he has no Martial Arts ability, however, he has his own Military System. What is this system you say? Well, how about you go check it out man!

In a vast fantasy world where countless dangers lurk for humans and demi-humans alike, no creature is more fearsome or powerful than the Dragons, proud, intelligent beasts who stand at the very peak of existence. Dragons do not fight for kings or armies. They are the purest manifestation of nature’s fury and brutality, beings born to stand alone. Yet even such creatures seek a connection, a single partner chosen only once in their lifetime, bound through a unique Pact that links body and soul as one. Those chosen are no ordinary individuals. Dragon Riders soar through the skies atop their mighty companions, dominating land and air alike with powers of overwhelming magnitude. Thus begins a ruthless race between peoples and nations, each striving to secure the loyalty of the most powerful Dragon Riders the world can produce. This is the story of Theo, a noble whose family was brutally murdered, leaving him orphaned and alone as a child. Now a young man, his gaze turns toward the Royal Academy of Dragon Riders of the Empire of the Four Kingdoms, for nothing could serve vengeance better than a creature that embodies the raw fury of nature itself. But while Theo’s steps are driven by revenge, his journey will be filled with both intriguing allies and cruel enemies. And in his search for a battle companion, he will discover something far more precious, because the same mythical beast capable of terrorizing the skies and the land also holds another side, one far more unexpected than anyone could imagine.

Kael has been haunted by dreams of Elior, the golden-eyed boy he’s loved across lifetimes. Each night, the visions grow clearer—until fate leads him to the Grand Arcanum Academy, where those same eyes meet his in the waking world. What begins as fleeting recognition spirals into an irresistible pull—an obsession bound by memory, love, and something far older than time. Because some stories aren’t written in books… They’re written in the ink of their souls.

In a world that only hears shouts, his silence is a weapon. Orphaned and mute, Mateo Álvarez communicates through the beautiful game. After a tragic accident steals his voice, it grants him something else: an extraordinary ability to see the flow of play before it happens, a gift he calls The System. On the pitch, he is a prodigy, a conductor of silent symphonies, reading the game with a genius that leaves scouts and legends in awe. His talent earns him a destiny at FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy. Under the wing of mentors like Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi, Mateo flourishes, his dream of one day representing Spain on the world stage feeling closer than ever. He becomes their golden boy, a symbol of pure footballing intellect, and the heart of a new generation. But when the club’s soul is traded for corporate interests, Mateo’s greatest strength is recast as a liability. To the new board, a star who cannot speak is a star who cannot sell. Betrayed by the institution he called home, the boy who dreamed in goals is cast out at sixteen, his future shattered. Now, Mateo must journey beyond the only home he’s ever known. Armed only with his preternatural gift and a resilience forged in silence, he must find a new team willing to listen not to his voice, but to his vision. His quest is no longer just for club glory, but to prove a devastating truth to those who discarded him: that the most powerful language in football isn’t spoken at all. The Silent Symphony is an unforgettable underdog story about the corruption of dreams, the beauty of resilience, and the unspoken bonds that define us. It's a journey across the fierce landscapes of European football to reclaim a stolen destiny, one perfect pass at a time. **** DISCLAIMER: The contents of 'THE SILENT SYMPHONY' is entirely a work of fiction.

One million years ago, a cosmic event reshaped the universe, leaving traces that are still felt to this day. Since then, some humans have been born with a strange power known as Stellar—a force that slowly redefined human civilization. In the modern world of 2017, Stellar is no longer a blessing. Chaos, conflict, and destruction have caused the number of its wielders to steadily decline. Behind it all, humanity knows only the legends of the nine strongest Stellars—names regarded as myths, yet appearing in every record of great calamity. Amid this unjust world, a young man from a poor family drifts through life without direction, without education, and without a place to belong. He is nothing more than a small human on the vast board called the world. But when the buried past begins to stir, a single pawn takes its first step. And the game that has been delayed for one million years… slowly begins once more.

Silas Gray was never meant to enter the parallel world. After falling into a hidden reflection of reality, he is taken in by a man hiding among ordinary people—his guardian, Elias—and sent to WTRS Academy, where the Watchers train individuals with abnormal potential. Ranked last and placed in Null, the weakest division, Silas is mocked as a failure. But Null isn’t weak. It’s unfinished. As rival houses rise and shadows move, Silas becomes a variable the Watchers can’t control—and a threat even they fear. Every choice is observed. Every secret has a direction.

He was the King of Kings—until the Author rewrote him. Noah ruled worlds, shaped laws, and commanded reality itself… until a penstroke stripped him of everything. Banished to the Abyss—a realm where authority is borrowed and divinity is mocked—he’s forced to start again from zero. But Noah doesn’t kneel. He hunts. With a chaos-born princess at his side and rebellion in his blood, he’ll tear through puppet monarchs, unravel the threads of fate, and claw his way back to the top. The narrative may bind others— But he remembers being the one who wrote it. This time, the story obeys him. And when the final page turns, even the Author will bleed.
