Hello there! I'm also a Webnovel author that is not out of the majority. I recently finished my first novel here and so, no writing for me in quite some time. So I opened this forum so you can share your own original novel/s in this discussion. But take note that I don't intend to make this forum thread something like a review swap, although it's up to you if you will. Just be free to share your work with others and perhaps discover new novels that you'd like.

Also, you can recommend original novels by other authors. Just be sure to mention their pen name or username here at WN.

I am also curious if there are other authors that write Japanese settings in their works, similar to light novels, anime or manga.

This is open for everyone, and I will also take a read on yours if it caught my interest (but I'm mostly inactive even in my break).

So to start off, I'll go first with my recently ended novel:

I look forward to see your works!

    As for your question, I believe my synopsis below answers that.

    If you were transported from this world to another almost identical.

    If you were transported from your life to your teenage self.

    If you had to restart your life again.

    Would you, or would you cling to your memories?

    This is a Japanese manga/anime -style slice of life high school romance with a splash of sci-fi. In this kind of romance friendship plays a big role compared to your standard western romance. Ensemble cast, so if you only want one main character this is not for you.

              How does it feel to find out that in a past life you were the master of the magical guild? To get a chance to develop supernatural abilities and the ability to be reborn in any world, including those reflected in fiction, manga, games, anime ... Well, how can you not agree? Especially when there is no chance to return to normal life.

              Carefully, there is obscene language.

                In a sentence, it's a video game world from an NPC's perspective, where players and NPCs interpret events very differently.

                Synopsis:
                In the world of New Dawn, the citizens seem to be suffering a divine punishment of some sort.

                The monsters that plague them are worse then devils, demons, or depraved criminals.

                The devils have their own twisted morality, demons are not intrinsically bad—they're just above humans in the food chain—and depraved could can at least be killed.

                The undying, capricious monsters kill anything and everything, devouring all in their sights like a swarm of locusts. What's more, the lords and kings who should be protecting them seem to be working with these monsters.

                When all seems lost, it falls to a young boy to save his people from these monsters… from the players.

                …

                In the players' eyes, he is a hidden boss—possibly even the final boss!

                In the developers' eyes… what the heck is this bug?!

                      Genre: Historical Fiction
                      Tags: BL - LBGT - Pacificwar - Japan - 1945

                      A slow burner romance drama/slice of life told from two angles. If you like stories like In This Corner of the World or The Silent Voice, this one may appeal. It's a story about the final year of WW2 told on Japanese soil from the eyes of same-sex lovers, Hinata and Eiji.

                      • Hinata was waiting for his lover to return from war and receives the news of his death. This perspective tells of his village life in the countryside and the slow reveal of discrimination and hardships of Japan's civilians.

                      • Eiji is a soldier fighting the war from his home front. Iwo Jima was meant to be his last tour, but he fell injured in a banzai charge and was classified as dead. He recovered with the aid of an American lieutenant who escorts him back into the mainland for espionage work. Eiji is doing what he can to return to Hinata.

                        Synopsis :
                        Foolish children.

                        You scheme, you plot, you steal, you murder.
                        You forget who is looking on from the shadows.
                        In your haste to get above each other, you forget your origins.

                        Sigh.

                        Ants will always go for sugar, not realizing there's a thumb waiting to squish them.

                        -

                        It's basically an isekai and transmigrator with kingdom building, but the transmigration itself is given a proper story (around 12 chaps), unlike the usual trope where it's first paragraph and done.
                        You guys familiar with the grandpa in the ring trope?
                        The MC is built with the aim of reaching that state and further expanding on it.
                        I mean, there's only so much level you can reach before it becomes repetitive so why not make a qualitative jump of position after the MC has leveled up to a certain point?
                        There will be tragedies and stuff, but currently hasn't reach that part yet but I've already put in all the tropes expected in the genre section of the novel description so that people won't get hit by feel trains or triggered out of nowhere.
