I didn’t always realize I adored writing, especially because I never liked reading much.
Back in high school, when the teacher asked for a book report, I got so lazy trying to pick a book that I asked if I could write my own instead and then do the report on that.
At the time, I chalked it up to laziness and maybe a craving for attention. I loved standing out, even if I only admitted that much later, after missing a lot of opportunities to shine and be more social.
As for reading… it’s true.
Even today, I can count the number of books I’ve read on one and a half hands (not including my own). I just don’t enjoy other people’s stories because they aren’t mine.
The few books I did read were mostly about self-help and behavior.
The first real eye-opener was The Art of Seduction by Robert Greene.
It shocked me to the core and took weeks to months to fully digest. Later, The 48 Laws of Power expanded those ideas even further.
Those two books taught me that it takes strength to seize strength, and that connections, practicality, and emotional intelligence are just as important as raw feelings.
Later on, during a turbulent time in my life when my emotions were unstable, I read Don’t Believe Everything You Think by Joseph Nguyen.
That book made me feel valued for the first time in a long time. It helped me take my emotions seriously and taught me to honor myself, not just my actions.
I have read one general fiction book, though: Minecraft: The Overworld Invasion by Mark Cheverton.
I bought it as a joke with friends back in college, but when I got home, I thought: you know what, screw it, and gave it a try.
To my surprise, I read it all the way through. It was amazing. No other story managed to capture me like that one did.
It wasn’t until the past two or three years that I realized creating worlds was my true calling.
My mother was a huge reason for that. Her love and support made me want to reach higher.
I searched for the most popular reading site, found Webnovel, and published my first official story: Anti-NTR Man.
The goal was catharsis.
As someone who grew up watching a lot of anime and, let’s say, found the less “censored” parts of the web, there were certain genres I enjoyed.
NTR was not one of them. I despised it.
Seeing the lack of coherent, deep stories tackling it, I decided to create my own.
That story grew into a surprising success, and eventually, I even turned it into a manga using AI image generation.
The more I wrote, the more I wanted to write.
That led me to my current bestseller (30 copies!!): Betrayed, I Met The Demon Lord.
It was another cathartic project which was messy at first, but it became a marker of my growth as a storyteller.
As my work grew, I realized: more popularity = more risk of plagiarism.
I expanded across multiple writing platforms, marked my name everywhere, and even made a Discord server.
Eventually, I reworked Betrayed into a full novel and published it on Amazon.
A viral Reddit post later and over 30 copies sold I finally had enough to support myself full-time as a writer.
(Not from the sales, unfortunately. I’d been meticulously grinding away at a day job for three years.)
I quit my job and jumped headfirst into my dream.
Don’t worry, I still have a few good months left!
Which brings us to now.
I created this official website to store all my novels, especially after noticing Wattpad moderators’ hostility toward AI-made thumbnails.
I realized my stories could get deleted simply because of a cover image.
So I decided: no more risks. I’ll upload everything here, where they’ll be safe.
With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy your stay, and thanks for reading!
Oh I also have a YouTube Channel, haha.
