Drifting Duckweed in Troubled Times · 2026

Sometimes the protagonist's world isn't a happy place. There are no beautiful scenes, no fairytale stories or endings. Sometimes I want to give the author a huge tip just to change the plot. But the story always goes in the direction I dread. I value realism, so this list includes stories that aren't perfect. Stories about real worlds and things that could really happen.

Completed Novels I’ve Read
