(For 18+ Mature Audience Light Novel/Manga readers.) SETTING THE STAGE: In the late 1880s, in the brutal, lawless frontier of Arizona, a young 19-year-old woman named Soluna Moreno lives a triple life: first as a serial killer known as the Demon of the West, second as a missionary bartender who runs her father's saloon, and third as a mother to an adopted child who lost his parents to lynching. The escapade starts on October 13th, 1889, when a strange meteor shower which, according to sources, happens only once every millennium begins to fall. A golden meteor crashes in front of Soluna, emitting a shockwave across the entire West Coast, and she gains a power called a Core. This makes her a contestant in a death game for a wish, and she is chosen as the Host of the Meteor, meaning other contestants will be hunting her down to kill her so the host's power can transfer to them. Soluna must now fight and survive until she is able to find the other half of the meteor and is the last contestant remaining. (WARNING!)

What happens in Vegas (Finished)
by Tazz McGregor
Kenna wasn't supposed to fall in love in Las Vegas. She was there to celebrate her 21st birthday, keep a promise to her late mother, and go home. Instead, a handsome stranger stole her table. His best friend married her best friend by morning. And before she had time to catch her breath, a letter she had been too afraid to open shattered everything she thought she knew about who she was and where she came from. Matt is everything Kenna didn't plan for: infuriating, warm, and completely unwilling to let her walk away. He carries his own complications: a scheming ex-fiancee who will stop at nothing, a father more interested in power than people, and a family that treats love like a business transaction. Kenna has complications of her own. Hidden in the bottom of her handbag is a letter from her mother, her last words, that ties Kenna to the very world Matt has been trying to escape. What starts as one reckless night in the city that never sleeps quickly becomes something neither of them expected: a chance at the kind of love that only works when you are willing to fight for it. What Happens in Vegas... is a story about the family you are given, the family you choose, and the ones you find when you least expect to. About secrets that protect and secrets that wound. About a mother's love that reaches further than she ever knew. And about two people who walked into Las Vegas looking for one thing and walked out with everything.
Beloved Dawn
by Lyssa Fae
She was never meant to exist. In Gildan, everyone is born the same: pale skin, light eyes, and fair hair. Princess Shani was not. Born with almond-brown skin and pointed ears, she spends her childhood hidden behind illusion magic and carefully learned silence. Within the palace walls, obedience becomes survival. Then everything falls apart. Forced beyond the only life she has ever known, Shani finds refuge in Silva Mortis, the forest her people call the Forest of Death. The forest could have killed her. It didn't. As old wounds reopen and the past refuses to loosen its grip, Shani must decide whether survival is enough... or whether she can become something more than what others tried to make her. A dark fantasy of family, identity, loss, and the courage to become yourself. Beloved Dawn Book One of the Dawn Trilogy
A Cage Called Destiny
by vielwords
Anaya never believed in marriage. To escape every proposal, she created a simple game—three impossible wishes, one café, and a list of conditions no man had ever accepted. Until Reyansh. Instead of walking away, he challenged every rule she had built around herself, forcing her into a marriage neither of them could have imagined. What begins as a clash of two stubborn strangers slowly turns into something far more complicated, where trust is fragile, emotions are dangerous, and every answer only seems to raise more questions. But not every story begins where it appears to. Some truths are buried beneath silence. Some promises were made long before they ever met. And sometimes, the greatest betrayal isn't the one you see coming—it's the one that has been waiting from the very beginning.
To Earn a Crowded Funeral
by Rub
Nicolau Britton, reborn as a baby while retaining his memories, finally obtains what he never had on Earth—an older brother who would risk his life to protect him, a mother who adores him, and a life worth living again. But this new family is built upon a secret implanted at the time of his birth by his missing father. And when that father returns to reclaim it, there is no salvation in “innocence.” Inspired by Mushoku Tensei (I added Turning Points), this is a story about family, brutal loss, and survival. I've created a very unique dark fantasy setting inspired by medieval Portugal.
About Young Adult
Young Adult is fiction written for — and about — the years when everything is happening for the first time. The protagonist is usually a teenager standing at the edge of adulthood, and the stories run on the emotional voltage of that moment: the first love, the first real betrayal, the first time the world asks who you actually are. YA spans every setting — dystopia, fantasy, contemporary, sci-fi — but the through-line is a coming-of-age heart.
The genre minted modern publishing's biggest crossover hits — The Hunger Games, Divergent, Six of Crows, The Fault in Our Stars — and on serial platforms like Wattpad it's one of the largest reader communities anywhere, skewing young, loyal, and voracious. These readers binge, they comment, and they follow authors across whole series.
IlorisNovel hosts YA the way a serial generation wants to read it: ad-free, privacy-first with no trackers, audio on every chapter, and authors keep 93% of every coin readers spend. If you've built a following on Wattpad, bring it here and keep what you earn.
