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:

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!

Hi there ♥
I do have two stories. One is more Fantasy-y, the other one is Sci-Fi (but leaning more towards romance, so feel free to skip)

As I'm just getting warmed up to writing stories again, I'd love some honest feedback (I've got some already, and I am not afraid of constructive criticism), especially as English is not my native language.

Would love hearing from you!

I got a mini series I just wrote. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1277838/project-eden/

This story centers on ZAx, a decaying machine with a flickering neutron heart, who reactivates in a post-apocalyptic graveyard of steel and ash. In his quest for survival and meaning, he rescues Sirius, a genetically engineered adolescent and the final survivor of the failed "Eden Project" bio-mechanical initiative.
7 chapters, 36k words, complete story.

Here you go: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/967246/a-place-to-bloom/

sci-fi or urban fantasy
More like epic character-driven low fantasy with a tablespoon of steampunk and a dash of grimdark. It's also gluten-free.

with a decent dose of humour.
That. Definitely that.

I prefer the term "uncensored"

Grolsch Lager is delicious, but you can take that Bud Light and shove it up your ass. Unless you meant something else by BL, in which case I do apologize.

pure romance
on a scale from Sprite to Everclear, this is a Cabernet

upright p*rn
My definition of porn vs not-porn boils down to "does the sex enhance the story, or does the story exist merely to deliver sex?" By that definition, no this isn't porn. Not even chapter 48. Or 63. Or 65. Or 68.

werewolves
hot naked women riding velociraptors through the jungle?

classic fantasy
Nothing classic here, sry. No elves, wizards, orcs, or any of that. Did I mention it's gluten-free?

stories along the lines of “he, she, it was just a normal boy, girl, indecisive blob—until they suddenly mutated into a superhero.”
Normal... I wouldn't say indecisive... He kinda does have a superpower, but he doesn't know how to use it, it's not really that dramatic, and it doesn't even show up until chapter 56. Also it gets him into trouble. Also, others have more useful powers. Also MC's transformation is slow and only happens as he gets his ass handed to him in a happy meal box.
