Hi, I’m Alex / Mugentoki.

Here to find people with similar brainrot: anime, manga, sci-fi, programming, games, worldbuilding, and the very bad habit of starting "just one more side project".

I’m a web dev, but slowly trying to move toward game development.

Big fan of Gintama, so expect some chaos, nonsense, unfinished ideas, and posts that probably sounded smarter in my head than they actually are

'd love to connect with similar disasters.

Five stars:

Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite and Blair Baker (Narrator) (2025) is the first of the Dorothy Gentleman mysteries. Dorothy is a ship's detective who had been shelved in the library for some time off since her last body gave out. Now she's awake in an elevator during a magnetic storm in a body that isn't hers. Besides her own mystery, Dorothy has another murder to solve. There's another body, another murder, and her death seems to be died to Dorothy's incorrect body.

I quite like the 1984 film version of Dune, but the characters are a bit far fetched. An obese, orange, diseased peadophile starting a war for his own selfish needs.
Come on.

Ebook and paperback: https://books2read.com/TrollSong

Having an abusive assassin for a sister was bad enough, but when Lyra’s older sister, Nicole, becomes obsessed with killing the teenage troll, her life becomes a special kind of nightmare. Will she escape, or become just another victim of the unstoppable woman?

@bookstodon
#author #indieauthor #writing #fantasy #scifi #sciencefiction #sff #sciencefantasy #scifi #actionadventure #fiction #books

(Left) The cover of Troll Song, by Owen Tyme, Illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

There's a woman in mud spattered white, leather armor crossing a pair of short swords against the neck of a terrified, shirtless dwarf.

The woman has white hair and a darker skin tone on the left side of her face. Her left eye is green and her right eye is blue.

The dwarf's hair and beard are blond.

The background is a green forest, with some flowers among the tall grass.

(Right) The background is a snow-covered forest, with a pair of dark silhouettes in it, one small and the other large, like a giant. The smaller silhouette is of a young woman walking away and the interior is filled with musical symbols, in green, white and two shades of blue. The larger silhouette is a woman wielding two swords and the interior is full of blood spatter. The larger one appears to be chasing the smaller one.

The following text is laid over the scene:

“I can’t die until Lyra takes her last breath! She’ll regret betraying her sisters!”

“There’s no price I won’t pay to see that happen, no pain I won’t endure and I’d sacrifice the whole world to seal her fate!”

A new intro post, as I'm in a new chapter.

I'm Monzz, she/her. I've lived all around but I'm based in the #UK now.

By day, I work in computer science #education. After hours, I'm a massive #gamer (ask me what I'm playing at the moment), I'm a #scifi / #fantasy #worldbuilding nerd and I do a bit of #writing.

I love my #houseplants and #gadgets.

I like #roleplaying, storytelling, gamification and imaginary worlds. I was raised by the internet in the mid 2000's and would like to rebuild some community links here.

I miss the Hartwell & Cramer "Year's Best SF" anthologies. They were on the techie "hard" side of the genre without going too far. The eighteenth and last one came out 13 years ago now. I'd be happy to buy something similar in 2026.

Whatcha think, @cstross ?

Ebook and paperback: https://books2read.com/TheThirdWish
Series Ebook omnibus: https://books2read.com/TheWizardsScion

Spies, aliens, trolls, wizards and a disowned prince try to change history, but Levi Jacobs stands in their way, despite having just lost his parents in war. Will he stop them or will they kill his father at a pivotal moment, on which the fate of the galaxy hangs?

@bookstodon
#author #indieauthor #writing #fantasy #scifi #sciencefiction #sff #sciencefantasy #scifi #actionadventure #fiction #books

(Left) The cover of The Third Wish, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

A wizard in a black robe that glitters with hints of gold stands on a mountain and looks down at a city of sky scrapers covered in greenery. In his shadow lurks a creature with glowing red eyes.

In the background, the sun is setting and stars are becoming visible.

(Right Background) Four images separated by black lines, with the silhouette of a woman wielding two swords laid over them. She's outlined in black and her interior is yellow clock-based imagery that spirals outward from the center.

The upper left quarter is a queen in a red, furred robe, wearing a gold and diamond crown. She has dark eyebrows and blond hair.

Upper right is a planet seen from orbit.

Lower left is a symbolic wire frame representation of the view inside a wormhole, in green and yellow.

Lower right is dandelions among grass.

The angle of the planet, one of the woman's swords, the yellow highlights of the wormhole and some of the dandelions form a line that draws the eye along a sweeping curve.

(Right Foreground) The following quote:

He admired the flawless beauty of the insane swordswoman’s fluid movements as Ida took desperate step after step, backwards!

He felt waves of mental energy pour off the panic-stricken troll, but the energy bounced right off of Nicole’s mind, as though she’d shut herself inside a solid, red-hot, steel box of rage!
