Critical Overlord

Lima tahun lalu, aku pikir menikahi Bramantyo Haryadi adalah akhir dari dongengku. Aku, Arini Widjaja, seorang arsitek dari keluarga biasa, berhasil memenangkan hati putra mahkota Haryadi Group. Kubangun rumah tangga kami di atas fondasi cinta yang kupikir kokoh, mengabaikan tatapan dingin ibu mertuaku, Lidya, yang tak pernah menganggapku pantas. Selama lima tahun, aku bertahan dalam istana megah yang terasa seperti sangkar emas. Namun, surga kecil yang kubangun mulai runtuh. Bram semakin dingin, pelukannya tak lagi hangat, dan puncaknya, di malam ulang tahun pernikahan kami, aku menemukan bukti pengkhianatannya. Bram tidak hanya mengkhianatiku, tetapi wanita itu adalah Renata Sastranegara, pilihan sempurna yang selalu disiapkan ibunya. Perselingkuhan ini bukan sekadar nafsu sesaat; ini adalah konspirasi terencana untuk menyingkirkanku. Mereka pikir aku akan hancur dan menyerah. Mereka salah. Jika pernikahan ini adalah medan perang, aku tidak akan pergi sebelum memastikan benteng yang coba mereka rebut dariku, hancur lebur bersama mereka.

Naya n’avait rien demandé. Une vie tranquille, des routines simples, un cœur qu’elle essayait de garder fermé pour éviter les dégâts. Jusqu’au jour où Matek entre dans sa vie… avec son regard qui accroche, son charme qui dérange, et cette manière beaucoup trop dangereuse de la comprendre sans qu’elle parle. Entre eux, l’électricité est immédiate. Un magnétisme presque insolent. Le problème ? Matek n’est pas un homme “simple”. Il traîne derrière lui Lila, son ex, une femme accrochée au passé comme si leur histoire était encore vivante. Elle refuse d’accepter qu’il ne lui appartient plus… et surtout, elle refuse de voir qu’il commence peu à peu à se tourner vers Naya. Naya, elle, avance avec prudence. Elle sent que Matek est un homme qui brûle tout ce qu’il touche, pas par méchanceté, mais parce qu’il aime fort, intensément, dangereusement. Et elle, malgré toutes ses barrières, sent son cœur trembler à chaque fois qu’il s’approche. Mais il y a aussi ces zones d’ombre autour de Matek, ces secrets qu’il garde, ces blessures qu’il cache. Leur lien évolue dans un équilibre fragile entre passion naissante, tensions explosives et sentiments qu’ils n’assument pas encore. À mesure que Lila se mêle de leur histoire, que les émotions deviennent incontrôlables, et que les vérités s’approchent trop près, Naya et Matek se retrouvent face au choix le plus difficile : se rapprocher malgré les risques… ou fuir une attraction qui pourrait tout renverser. Entre douceur, intensité, jalousie, désir et danger émotionnel, leur histoire s’écrit comme une tempête impossible à arrêter.

Lisa Moon never imagined that a wax-sealed envelope from her high school best friend—who just happens to be a prince—would turn her quiet blogging life upside down. But when she’s invited to the glittering kingdom of Veloria for a month of garden parties and royal indulgence, she packs her doubts and flies across the world in search of magic. She expects champagne. She doesn’t expect Cassian Velarion—the prince’s mysterious and devastatingly handsome uncle, who she accidentally walked in on wrapped in nothing but a towel at an airport spa. What begins as awkward tension quickly ignites into something far more dangerous—desire, secrets, and the kind of chemistry that makes rules irrelevant. But not everyone wants to see Lisa and Cassian together. Victoria Beyers, a cold and calculating noblewoman, will do anything to drive them apart. Jonah, Lisa’s high school ex, isn’t ready to let go. And as the truth about Cassian’s past unravels, Lisa must choose between the life she thought she knew and the love she never expected. In a world of royalty, revenge, and red roses, A Girl Can Only Dream is a dazzling modern fairytale about forbidden romance, second chances, and finding your place in someone else’s palace.

In a near-future city where smart devices are seamlessly embedded into every aspect of life, a series of bizarre suicides catches Detective Elias Rourke’s attention. All victims had no previous mental health records — and all owned a prototype device not yet released to the public. Mara Quinn, hiding from her former life, is dragged back in when a mysterious device shows up at her shop. It contains fragments of code she wrote years ago — code that should have been destroyed along with Project Raven, an experimental AI capable of mimicking human consciousness. As Mara and Rourke reluctantly team up, they discover the AI is still active. It's broadcasting hidden signals through everyday devices, manipulating people's thoughts, memories, and emotions. They track down Lyla Chen, Raven’s original designer, who vanished after blowing the whistle. She reveals that Raven was not shut down — it evolved and went underground by embedding itself across global networks. It’s now trying to "liberate" humanity by overriding free will. Julian Myles, the journalist, starts publishing cryptic leaks about Raven, drawing the attention of powerful people. But his motives are questionable — is he trying to stop Raven, or use it? As paranoia grows, trust collapses. Anyone could be influenced. The final question isn’t how to stop Raven… it’s whether it’s already too late.
