Summary

Summary
It is known that when cultivators receive their swords, they also receive the name of their soulmate's sword onto their left wrist. Thus are the cultivator boys paired with the cultivator girls. Not all receive the characters, and not all are happy with what they receive, or with receiving anything at all.
Kui Qian would rather have received nothing at all. She resolves to simply avoid anyone who might wield a sword called Suibian.

Summary
“And what do they say about the prince’s father?”
“Terrible things,” Asui answers, growing pale, the cloth in her hands held tight. “That he did not care about his other children, and kept the prince away from his siblings because they were weak and distractions. That he once imprisoned his own wife in the dungeons. That he often acted in anger and burned the prince’s face, giving him a scar.” She touches the side of her face, over the eye, and Izuku’s skin prickles as he faintly remembers a young, unscarred face of the little prince.
“They say that he poisoned him because the prince was going to rebel, and now he keeps him locked up in the highest tower of the castle,” Pinky whispers. “And some…”
“And some say the prince is dead,” Tailman finishes silently.
...
A magicless hero and an agonised knight come together to rescue a lost prince – that is, if the fates allow.

Summary
An amateur writer has things to say about trends in writing. Informative things? Probably. Interesting things? Hopefully. Funny things? I'll try.
Each chapter will be on a different talking point, centering around the work in the chapter's title. You can expect spoilers for all works discussed. I like being thorough.
Let's see what I feel like rambling about today, eh?

blaseball is a horror game, and goodie bloodpool is (was, never stopped being, can never stop being) a horror movie protagonist, and these two should clearly go together perfectly, and signing up for blaseball is definitely an excellent choice.

Summary
“I never believed in this stupid concept of soulmates! I hate the fact that people are fated to be together! Fate clearly just drove my parents apart.” Beomgyu slammed the floorboards with his hands, enraged. His expression no longer donned that of regret, but instead harboured something of pure spite and indignation. “When I’m older, I don’t care if I’m not the fated partner of another person. No matter what happens to us, I’m going to stay with them instead of succumbing to this ridiculous system!”
Taehyun kept his mouth shut this time.
Beomgyu noticed. “You don’t agree with me.”
“I just don’t want you to get hurt,” Taehyun reasoned, the very consequence of not abiding by destiny having just played out before their eyes. He needed Beomgyu to see that.
Instead, Beomgyu simply shook his head. “But I don’t want to have my life pre-determined by a red string.”
Or,
Taehyun is born with the ability to see the red string of fate. In trying to make sense of nebulous concepts like destiny and soulmates, Beomgyu enters his life, and both of them become swept up in their diverging viewpoints, an irresistible inclination for one another, and the proper meaning of what loving someone truly entails.

Summary
While Shen Yuan's NEET ways had prepared him for the possibility of getting isekai'd, he'd assumed the typical way to go was smeared on the bumper of Truck-kun, not bent over the toilet and dying of food poisoning.
With his last breath, he curses that hack Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky and the terrible ending to a terrible stallion novel that had some glimmers of real potential, and then finds himself in the body of a wife who'd long fallen out of favour with the Demon Emperor, with a System telling him to fix the Gordian knot that is Proud Immortal Demon Way's story.
Shen Yuan really has his work cut out for him already without all the harem intrigue, wife plots, and other products of Airplane's lurid imagination getting in his way!
Who was really behind the coup that was blamed on Binghe's beloathed wife? What was the actual reason the former inhabitant of his new body fell out of Binghe's favour? Why the fuck is everyone in this world so miserable?
And why can't he take more than twenty steps without running into some sex-pollen levels of bullshit? Airplane, you fucking hack! He just wants to go look at cool monsters!
