The mood around the breakfast table was somber. The source—Vivi. Attempts were made to lighten up the atmosphere, but they all fell flat. Eventually, Nami lost her temper, throwing her knife and fork down.

Ace ate voraciously, only interrupting his meal to take the occasional sip of water. Across from him, Crocodile watched on, a cigar dangling from the corner of his lips. A vein pulsed near his temple.
He glanced to his left, where two figures prostrated—Mr. 5 and Mr. 3. Their faces were a...

I've been reading a Japanese LN called 'Vampire/Genesis'. It's... pretty good. At least, it's better than most of the slop you find on novelupdates/webnovel. Here's the summary:

Before the sun had risen, Ace snuck away from the royal palace. After last night’s party, the Straw Hats were still asleep, as were most of the guards. Just to be safe, he made his way around back, clambering down the rear walls.
The white stone was almost perfectly smooth, but his agilit...

I got caught up playing a Warcraft mod for Medieval II (it's pretty good). Anyway, the chapter is here. I'm not sure if it feels a little jumpy, but I don't really want to slow down the pace. The faster we move on, the faster Jack gets to fight some stronger people.

Just to put you guys at ease, I'm just messing around with this thing. The One Piece fic is very much my main story.

At some point, Chopper quietly left the room, having finished Jack’s treatment. Only Nami remained, sitting on a chair next to his bed.

Ace met Jack's assault head-on, their collision dislodging rocks and kicking up dust. For a moment, they were evenly matched, but then Jack's muscles swelled, inexplicably gaining size and mass. He even seemed to grow about a foot taller.

Jack disappeared into the ocean for hours every day before re-emerging, cold and tired. The Straw Hats soon grew used to it, being one of many oddities on an already very odd ship.

A while back, I remember coming across a little-known (at that time) light novel called 'Eminence in the Shadow'.

I suggest taking a look at 'Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years'.

When Jack entered the room, Sanji cracked an eye open, seated upright in his bed. His hands were bandaged and his face was still a little red from the cold, but was otherwise none the worse for wear.

On their way back from the library, Shen Yue glanced around. If he remembered right, the original ran into Nie Lie and his goons, but he didn’t see them anywhere. Putting them out of his mind, he pointed toward a cozy little shop at the end of the street.

As Jack predicted, not much time passed before Nami showed up. Judging by the park’s silence, the fishmen were gone—probably collecting protection money from the villagers.
