The Yokai Chronicles
by Kiyoka Oda
Takeda Katsuyori retreated into an unknown cedar forest intending to die. Instead, he cut off his topknot and, to his own shame, admitted that his desire to live outweighed the principles of bushidō. The forest belonged to Shika, a five-hundred-year-old deer god who had watched clans rise and fall. What followed took them from the cedar forests into a world of yokai, supernatural murders, political intrigue and the brutal machinery of Sengoku Japan. Katsuyori had the emotional intelligence of a stubbed toe. Shika had the patience of a rice cracker. It should not have worked. It did. Mostly. He could read a battlefield. She could read the supernatural world. Neither was particularly good at reading each other. The bodies started appearing. *I only publish advance chapters of The Yokai Chronicles on Iloris Novel, Patreon, and Substack. If you see it anywhere else, it’s 100% stolen.

About Historical
Historical fiction lives in the texture of the past: the manners, the politics, the clothes, and the constraints that make every choice cost more. Whether it's a regency drawing room, a feudal court, a war-torn empire, or a folklore-soaked corner of history that never quite made the textbooks, the appeal is the same — a world with harder rules than ours, where a stolen glance or a broken vow can end a life.
The genre spans sweeping historical romance in the Bridgerton mold, dynastic epics, and the fast-growing wave of historical fantasy where real settings meet myth and magic. On serial platforms it thrives because the slow-burn, high-consequence structure rewards the chapter-by-chapter rhythm — every update tightens the vise.
Historical pairs naturally with romance, romantasy, and paranormal — many of the most-loved stories carry more than one of those tags at once. IlorisNovel hosts historical fiction the way it's meant to be read: ad-free, with audio on every chapter, and authors keep 93% of every coin readers spend supporting them.
