The Daily Life of a New Spirit Master

[Main story told in the second person, using "you"]

From the start, everything goes wrong: both your parents are dead, you have no car or house, and you're buried in debt.

Just as you're about to pack your bags and head to Yokohama to become a mafia member, a sleek, glossy fox suddenly appears in front of you.

"Young lady, blessed with spiritual power, will you embark on a quest to protect history?"

You: Does it come with room and board?

Kitsunenosuke: Of course, my lady! If you want, you can be the little emperor of your Honmaru!

The good news: you've been crowned.

The bad news: becoming emperor hasn't gotten you out of poverty.

Looking at your Honmaru, which is broke and hasn't even cleared a single field, you realize how hard it is to build up a place from scratch. And with corrupted Honmaru neighbors on every side, you realize how hard it is just to survive.

You decide to stop being human!

Reading notes:

1. Second-person narration, slice of life

2. Mainly focused on building up the Honmaru, with the present day as a secondary setting; primarily about family bonds

3. The heroine is a half-demon, little sister of RIngetsu. An outgoing ENTP puppy girl who says what she thinks

--Upcoming book 1: Life as a Government Employee in the Government of Time

Little Crow is an utterly ordinary sword woman.

After spending a thousand years with the Ubuyashiki family, she is invited by an organization called the Government of Time to fight historical destroyers known as the Time Retrograde Army.

Little Crow: Do you have my version of Higekiri?

Silver-haired man, serious-faced: Yes.

Little Crow: Then... do you have his younger brother too?

Chrysanthemum-haired man, smiling: We do.

Little Crow: I refuse.

Chrysanthemum Hair: The history in which the Demon King is killed might be changed.

What?

"All right, I'll join you."

She can't stand the history of the Demon Slayer Corps killing the Demon King being changed, but for now, she doesn't want to face her version or his younger brother...

So she'll be a government employee. A thousand years old is the perfect age to work hard!

But the job isn't easy. It's not just that she's old and has caught the office bug; she also keeps running into people she'd rather avoid.

Like the white-haired version of her who might be a little senile and can never get her name right;

her green-haired younger brother, the main version of the sword she has loved from afar but never met;

the red-haired, pathetic colleague she only occasionally encounters at the Heike family;

a certain crane who has clearly let loose compared to the past;

and the long-haired black-haired sword man who seemed perfectly normal, but after a thousand years apart has developed a habit of acting like a father...

1. Third-person narration, using "she"; slice of life

2. The heroine is the poor little sword whose head was chopped off by her big brother

3. The story will follow the sword lives of the heroine's spiritual divisions in various Honmaru and her true spirit, including Inspector Little Crow, Accountant Little Crow, Prison Warden Little Crow, Cybercop Little Crow, the house-kept Little Crow who gets picked in the Chocolate Grand Battle, and the big-shot Little Crow who has beheaded countless scumbag Saniwas...

--Upcoming book 2: Honmaru Slice of Life: Growing Crops with Swords, featuring a parallel-world counterpart of this heroine

In the Heian period, when humans and demons coexisted, being human was hard, and being a half-demon was even harder.

As a weak little half-demon orphaned by the death of both parents, you finally get a golden finger just as you're about to starve to death: a farm called the Honmaru.

But the farm is too big, and all you know how to do is turn the soil with your claws. You don't know how to grow crops.

What you need is a group of hired hands.

Luckily, the Honmaru comes with a sword-drawing System that can summon sword spirits to work for you. But look at what you get at the start...

A lost old man: Hahahahaha.

A senile old man who gets people's names wrong all the time: Ah, are you going to turn into weeds so I can cut you down?

A twin-tailed old man who thinks his colleague would be better at farming: Go find Hinoe Shorin. He's suited for this.

Every one of them looks like they cost more than you.

This world can just end already!

Reading notes:

1. Second-person narration, slice of life. Starting from the Heian period, growing crops. Also known as "Sword Dew Valley"

2. Sword-Saniwa family bonds. The guest swords were born no later than the Kamakura period. The main attraction is putting the old swords through the wringer

3. The heroine is a half-demon, little sister of RIngetsu

--Upcoming book 3: Cultivation Life Simulator, but It's a Matriarchy

Zhu Tianci ends up inside the game character she bound herself to.

In a cultivation world where women and men are equals, she gets to be the family pride. With the golden finger [Cultivation Life Simulator], all she has to do is keep restarting her life to become stronger. Life couldn't be easier!

*

[Cultivation Life Simulator loading...]

[Age 0: You are born a girl. Your mother is the biggest landowner in the county, and you are her only child.]

[Congratulations, you have earned the title [Heaven-Sent Pride of the Family]!]

[Age 1: Your intelligence is average, your looks are unremarkable, your health is poor, but you're fabulously wealthy.]

[Age 6: The immortal sects hold their recruitment trials. You have no spiritual roots and are rejected. You refuse to give up.]

[Age 7: You want to seek immortality.]

[Age 12: You want to seek immortality.]

[Age 18: You finally give up. At your mother's arrangement, you marry a husband and take concubines.]

[Age 19: Your enemies come for you, and you are hacked to death.]

You died at the age of nineteen.

Tianci: ???

This isn't right. Simulate again!

[Age 0: You are reborn. In this life, you will take back everything that belongs to you!]

Reading notes:

1. The mortal world is a matriarchy; men and women are equal in the cultivation world. The ratio of female to male cultivators is 7:3, and 99% of the leadership is women. The heroine is the real pride of her family, not a one-on-one romance. She'll collect men like crazy, and every male love interest is a virgin. Anyone who isn't doesn't deserve to be collected, so drag them out and shoot them.

2. The heroine always treats it like a game and never gets emotionally invested

3. To be decided

Theme: Live positively and build your career
