Tarmashev Sergey – Corporation

Tarmashev Sergey – Corporation

Further development of the idea of a post-apocalyptic society without violence, only now the forces of good are opposed by a “dictator” who, to control humanity, uses a personal army of “moralized” people devoted to him personally. And of course, the only ones who can resist him are the ancient warriors who have become a terrible fairy tale, who in official history are presented as the focus of evil.

Sergey Tarmashev – Catastrophe

Sergey Tarmashev – Catastrophe

The remnants of humanity miraculously survived the nuclear war and decided that in the new conditions there is no place for violence. But there will always be problems that need to be solved with the help of force. After all, on the surface there is a violent evolution of the surviving vauna. And inside the shelters there will always be those who are dissatisfied with the current situation and want to change everything, if not by force, then by deception. It is for such cases that there is a team of "outsiders", soldiers who have received a lethal dose of radiation, who sleep in anabiosis while waiting for the appearance of a medicine or the need for their professional skills.

Dalin Maxim – Green Blood

Dalin Maxim – Green Blood

Author: Dalin Maxim

Dystopia. The action takes place in a world where animals can pretend to be people, and people quite often turn out to be fakes of themselves.

Dalin Maxim – My Holy Land

Dalin Maxim – My Holy Land

Author: Dalin Maxim

The chosen one, the unfortunate, the good king, hidden in infancy from enemies and called upon to save the country when his time struck. Stamps, stamps, stamps, gems of eternal subjects, trampled by herds of epigones, like the steps of a temple - by the soles of idle tourists. In the noosphere, where good has long been no longer even with fists, but with sword and magic, a blaster and a hydrogen bomb, where the positive hero is no longer a walking mouthpiece of virtues, white, boring, cloying, like a lump in semolina, but a brave fellow, whatever manages to hit or shoot first, there is no place for a novel about a righteous man. Is he boring, a prosperous boy from a good family, a teenager and a dropout? Is he funny, Ivanushka the fool, having peaceful conversations with demons and dragons? Is he ridiculous, a white warrior who cannot ride a horse, armed with a smile, a chocolate bar and aspirin? Who needs him in hell, where kickbacks are cheerfully sawed - a naively naked soul among souls dressed in armor? And what can he do, alone, against a united hell? Only to die nobly? Have you already decided? But hold on, dear audience.

Where does the consciousness of a person fall into a coma, a drug addict, high, fast asleep? Yes, when he woke up he doesn’t remember anything, but maybe the world is more complicated than we think?

Metelsky Nikolay – Changing the masks

Metelsky Nikolay – Changing the masks

A world of Japanese animated films about an Ordinary Japanese Schoolboy. A world in which everything is tied to martial arts and confrontation between large clans within the state.

Metelsky Nikolay – Losing the masks

Metelsky Nikolay – Losing the masks

Even the best plan only lasts until it begins to be implemented. This wisdom was once again felt by Maxim Rudov (aka Sakurai Shinji), who planned his life until adulthood. But here's a happy accident - and our hero finds himself in the center of an accelerating mountain avalanche of events. Relationships with aristocrats, problems with competitors, the beginning of a war with the boss of one of the criminal guilds... And also school, friends and people who depend on him. The mask of an ordinary Japanese schoolboy has already been dropped, the mask of a fighter of the rank of Apprentice for an increasing number of people around him is not able to hide the real (or almost real) strength of the hero, the mask of the virtuoso thief Tokyo Dwarf is becoming more and more uncomfortable. And we have to make ever greater efforts to ensure that the mask covering the Patriarch’s face does not fall off. But it was not for nothing that Max became the youngest witcher of the Absolute rank. Yes, not a single plan survived the collision with reality, but the goal remained unchanged. Just like the witchers’ motto: “For my Glory, in my Name”

Metelsky Nikolay - Other people's masks

Metelsky Nikolay - Other people's masks

Go forward, win, rise - this is his way. Sakurai Shinji will do anything to rise higher. To not depend on anyone. Look for loyal people, allies, make money. Fight. After all, it is in battle that the witcher becomes stronger. And it is the battle that tears off the masks: both our own and those of others.

Zhuravlev Vladimir – Unsuccessful reincarnation

Zhuravlev Vladimir – Unsuccessful reincarnation

In addition to many other things, it tells about the life of a boy who is ready to fight for justice against the whole world. We had to give the hero the ability to retain his memory during the next reincarnation, otherwise it would not have been a novel, but a short epitaph
