Mochi Madness

Dying wasn’t part of the plan. But staying dead? Turns out, that’s not an option either. When our not-so-lucky soul gets trapped in a jar—yes, a jar—he knows something’s gone terribly wrong. Even worse, the one responsible is a devilish little girl who treats cosmic horrors like playthings while using legendary artifacts as mere kitchen tools. She’s making something… monstrous… And he? He’s probably one of the ingredients.  Join our hapless soul as he bounces (sometimes literally) between life-threatening trials, whimsical chaos, and the occasional brush with cosmic insanity—all while trying to survive a devilish little girl who is anything but ordinary.  Welcome to a world where nothing is what it seems—where the absurd meets the terrifying—and everyone’s a little bit mad. Readers can expect: Slow start but gains a faster pace, bouncy action, madcap adventures, humorous moments, LitRPG/GameLit elements, lots of fantastic creatures and magical stuff, spooky mystery, tons of character focus, lots of worldbuilding, reader interaction, a dash of cosmic horrors and a slice of madness. Chapter Frequency/Update: Currently on a brief hiatus. --- Hello, fellow adventurers, dreamers, and story-chasers! I’m Mochibun—a fluffy bun with a knack for writing and a heart full of whimsy, here to share my journey into a world of madness, cosmic shenanigans, and bouncing mochis (yes, you read that right). Who am I? Picture a person sneaking under blankets as a kid, flashlight in hand, devouring books while gaming on the sly, hoping their Asian parents didn’t catch them. Fast-forward to today, and here I am—a lover of art, literature, and everything in between, crafting worlds I’ve dreamed of for far too long but was too terrified to share. (Cue dramatic music.) Why am I here? A friend nudged me—okay, shoved me—into finally putting one of my most cherished stories out there for all to see, and now there’s no going back! It’s called Wandering Wonderland, or rather, I wanted to call it Mochi Madness at first, but ended up making that the title of the first volume instead, and you'll find out why later, much later. It’s filled with wild adventures, a mischievous devilish girl, cosmic horrors who are more scared of the main character than he is of them, and of course, a little dash of mochi-flavored madness. If you’re up for a story that’s whimsical, funny, and just a tad bit insane, you might enjoy joining me on this journey. What can you expect from me? I’ll be posting one chapter a day (yep, I’m on writing vacation mode), and then as my normal job creeps back into the picture, I’ll aim for 4-5 chapters a week. No promises on world-saving plot twists, but I guarantee lots of platformer-inspired shenanigans, adorable cosmic chaos, and a poor soul who really didn’t ask to be trapped in a jar by a girl with a black belly, whose cooking skills terrify even eldritch horrors. PS: I take editing and proofreading quite seriously, but if you do manage to actually find any grammar mistakes or other errors, point them out in the comments and I'll share with you some of these gigantic triple-chocolate chip cookies that I bake from time to time, oh and you'll get full rep points too~ Feel free to drop by and say hi, share your thoughts, or even give me a virtual hug (I might need it). Let’s wander this wonderland together, one madcap chapter at a time. And hey, if you’re curious enough to check out my world and meet those within it… Well, who knows what sort of mischief you’ll stumble upon? winks Mochibun, signing off with lots of fluff and fantastical dreams~ Note: I'm still looking for an artist that can create a proper book cover for me, capturing the tone and charm of the story and our main cast. Fan-art is also quite welcome! If I receive any, they'll be shared at the end of the newest chapter in the Author's Thoughts area, creating good visibility~
