Between Rivals
by Joyce N
Nina Hermsworth is the daughter of a poor widow with a special talent for dancing. At school, she is constantly bullied and looked down on because of her background. Tired of being treated like she doesn't matter, she makes one life-changing decision, she pretends to be rich after transferring to a prestigious school. At first, the lie helps her fit in and protects her from being bullied. But it also pulls her into a world filled with popularity, jealousy, rivalry, and dangerous secrets. Things become even more complicated when Adrian Cole, the arrogant son of a billionaire, discovers her secret and uses it to control her. Meanwhile, Liam Carter, a kind and intelligent hockey player, slowly wins her heart with his quiet support and genuine care. As Nina struggles to keep her secret from being exposed, she must deal with enemies, protect the life she has built, and decide between the boy who knows her darkest secret and the one who truly loves her for who she is.
Every Point Brings Me Closer to His Death
by ADEDEJI
I thought the strip was the safest place in the world. Fourteen metres of rubber, two people, one blade each, and rules older than the country. Then I won a bout I was not supposed to be in, in a basement I was not supposed to find, against a boy in a white jacket who bled black onto the floor and then apologized to me for it. Now there is a mark on the inside of my wrist that was not there in September. Now, when I score on Ilan Brassard, I see things. A harbour I have never visited. A brother I never had. A woman screaming his name in a language that has been dead for two hundred years. Fourteen touches to go. The houses tell me this is an honour. They tell me the bond will make me rich, protected, permanent. They tell me my mother's illness is nothing a house physician cannot fix, and they are not lying. They just forgot to mention what happens to Ilan at fifteen. He did not forget. He knew on the first night. That is why he never once tried to win.
Football Island
by Katsuhito
Reo, a prodigious football talent who once represented Japan at the U-14 level, sees the sport as more than just a game—it’s his passion, his form of self-expression, and the path toward his dreams. But when a devastating injury brings his journey to a halt, everything changes. With his parents’ divorce forcing a fresh start, Reo moves with his mother and younger sister away from the city, determined to leave football behind. Unfortunately for him, fate seems to have a sense of humor. Their new home, a small island called Hinami in the Shinrin Archipelago, is absolutely obsessed with football. Before long, Reo finds himself pulled back into the very world he wanted to escape. As the newest member of the Hinami Pirates, he’s thrown into a league where neighboring islands compete for pride, glory, and bragging rights. Can the fallen star rediscover his love for the sport he once cherished, or will football remain a painful reminder of everything he lost?
About Sports
Sports fiction runs on the same engine that powers progression fantasy: a protagonist who starts at the bottom and gets measurably, visibly better. Swap the dungeon for a stadium and the stat sheet for a box score, and the emotional core is identical — the training montage, the rival who's always one step ahead, the clutch moment where everything earned finally pays off.
The genre is enormous in manga and webtoon form — Slam Dunk, Haikyuu!!, Blue Lock, Ace of Diamond — and it's surging in Korean web novels, where "sports regression" (a washed-up pro wakes up in his teenage body and does it right this time) is one of the hottest premises going. Baseball, soccer, basketball, MMA, and esports all have devoted readerships hungry for English-language originals.
Readers who love sports fiction overlap heavily with progression and regression fans — they're here for competence earned over hundreds of chapters, the satisfaction of watching skill compound. IlorisNovel hosts sports fiction the way it's meant to be read: ad-free, with audio on every chapter, and the authors keep 92% of the coins’ redemption value.
