I’m not even exaggerating. Choosing to become a webnovelist was a goddamn mistake."

She did wonder if someday, she’d be able to manifest custard desserts into reality. Maybe if I were the demigoddess of confectionery instead.

Context - The main antagonist, Ryan Sterling, an ex-military man in an apocalyptic setting, talking to the main character, Steven Mcleod, who is trying to save his mother from dying, but saving her would cost the lives of multiple civilians.

"Look, Steven, I'm going to be straight with you - Your mother needs to die. She's old, frail, and diseased. If you won't let her die naturally, then I'll kill her myself. You can try stop me, but just know, if you do - I'll break you fucking teeth in, Mcleod."

As much or as little context as you wish (the exception being posting the whole chapter, obviously).

I'll start: My MC was reckless in attacking a swarm of low-level beasts. His partner/master chastised him. She left off with this gem: "You wield your sword like an artist with his brush. But you need to be careful lest it be your blood that paint the canvas."
My MC describing the events he's witnessing...

"This is stupid."

Not published but I've always tried to make my first line on the first chapter as eye catching as possible. (At least, what I would find eye catching).

"In the dead of night and without much fuss, Ashia Nal-Rain died ahead of schedule."

Thought by Mike, a party member of the Travelers:

I am not smart, but I think very often about my situation. People don't think I do it. But I am human, with feelings and everything, and I can't allow myself to live like an animal. Head full of pessimism, no hope in sight.

(This is a rough translation from German. Since it is not allowed here to write in the forum in any other language other than English, I won't put the original quote here.)

I'm currently in the process of learning german. I should've liked to read it, since more exposure to the language is never a bad thing. :blob_joy:

My stuff are BL. Just click on my signature, and you will see all of my German stories. Most of them are on AO3. I can recommend you Oger ohne Hass and Dreißig Tage. They are comedies.

I'm still an amateur, but I'll look into them! and I'm personally pan, so I'm not really against any particular pairing :blob_aww:

Just be aware that they are not perfect. I write to improve my German, but I have dyslexia. Just a small warning.
