Well, as the title already suggests, thanks to a free morning I’m currently on the lookout for something to read. Preferably hard(ish) sci-fi or urban fantasy—both very welcome with a decent dose of humour.

Absolute no-gos: smut, BL, GL, pure romance, upright p*rn, werewolves, classic fantasy, or stories along the lines of “he, she, it was just a normal boy, girl, indecisive blob—until they suddenly mutated into a superhero.”

If you think your story might be up my alley, just drop a link. No guarantees, but if I like what I read, you’ll at least get some brief feedback on what worked for me—and what didn’t.

As just a 3rd party story recommendation:

The best Sci-Fi I've read recently was https://seekwebserial.wordpress.com/2024/10/18/0-1-0-hack/ , it's more on the hard side, though its not on Scribblehub sadly. Also it's 3 seperate main POVs with vastly different stories, so it takes several chapters to get a good "feel" for what the story is like. Very black mirrory

Hello there!

Could you please read my first story too


Comedy, Isekai, fantasy though (Idk what you meant by classic fantasy - I think you meant something like Lord of the rings), If what you meant was 'Fantasy' then I'm sorry :s_smile:

Hi,
I guess my story is in close proximity... "The Eye"

Mine is essentially a dark urban fantasy.

Let me know what you think if you give it a whirl.

Hey Hal82,
Based on your request for sci-fi/urban fantasy with a side of humor, I think you might enjoy Five Divine.
It’s a mix of high-tech and ancient mystery. No smut, no romance, and definitely no "sudden superhero mutation." Instead, it's a race against time involving an engineer with a high-tech suit, a sassy AI/robot (B34) that handles the logic (and the banter), and a protagonist caught in a cosmic conspiracy.
The story explores Yaol (soul energy) and ancient relics, but stays grounded in the adventure and the dynamic between the trio. Since you have a free morning, I'd love to hear your "brief feedback" on whether the humor and the tech-vibe hit the mark for you!
