I just saw that you chose Self Promo's allowed, so guess what? 😄 I was trying to be careful about not hinting toward me having my own when I pointed out that there were two options. Anyway... {No Need For A Core?} is mine. It's a hybrid that sits at about the center of the fantasy to romance line. The 3-person romance is very central to the character-driven story, but there are aspects of this high-magic world that touch on progression fantasy and such as well. Semi-cozy, found family, lots of enjoying the world, punctuated by occasionally needing to deal with bad people harshly. Per your request, there is never any judgement about what type of girl or not a person is or is not, etc. The female cast is varied and extensive, and they have various preferences on dressing up and/or makeup. I didn't really set out with that as part of my goal, it just happened in the process of them becoming people. So, my series is currently available for free in its less refined version, though a couple of edit passes have been done of the first two volumes, and more editing is in progress. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/57517/no-need-for-a-core Book 1 will be published by Podium, starting December 15th, 2026. They aren't using my preferred cover unfortunately, but that part I can't do anything about.
