Summary
You, one of the merfolk, live in a society where your success in life depends heavily on song. Unfortunately for you, you cannot sing. In a year of poor hunting, your pod finally finds a use for you: a sacrifice to the leviathans who live in the deep trenches. You believe death is all that awaits you in the depths, but a past act of kindness means you may not be as doomed as you think.

Summary
Soulmates are supposed to be a blessing—the other half of your soul, your truest match, the heart that beats in cadence with your own. In order to help those with this blessing find their soulmates, at age eighteen you begin to dream their dreams, and they yours. You grew up being told it was romantic.
But your soulmate, in particular, is naught but a curse. For years you've dreamed almost every night of eating someone dear to you, repeatedly, in graphic detail; for years you've felt their pain and horror. As a result, you've become nigh-incapable of sleeping, and the long term sleep deprivation and trauma has long since taken its toll on your life, your behavior, and your personality.
...At least, you can only cling onto hope that this isn't you. You can only cling onto hope that someday soon you'll be able to touch your soulmate and get your own dreams back.
When a mysterious circus comes into town and you defend a clown hiding many mysteries of his own behind the mask on his face, you're dragged into the world of your nightmares—but perhaps there's a better dream at the end of it all, if you can only keep your eyes and heart open...

Summary
Life can be harsh. Sometimes it's the routine, sometimes it's unexpected events.
Seeking comfort in materialistic things is normal. But you? You decided to spend your sorrow into an incompleted visual novel called "The Freak Circus." It was silly, you knew that, but would you stop? Hell, no.
In fact, you couldn't even count how many times you replayed the game, over and over again, just to pick the same ol' known options. It was pathetic. Nothing could replace the fulfillment it gave you, but soon the hole in your heart started to form again.
Oh, how you wished you could oh-so suddenly wake up within the game. A place to start a new life, one where you wouldn't have to face your real life struggles, and not to mention meeting the characters you loved... But that's just an absurd dream to keep hidden inside a drawer somewhere.
And it sure was absurd, but alas, it wasn't a dream anymore.
or: you isekai into the tfc story as a separate character from the player entity. the story now depends on your free will, but you decide not to draw too much attention. despite that, dynamics change, things get layered, and unexpected things happen...

Summary
"You're in 141 now, Ace. There's no place for being gentle here," His eyes dance across my face but come back up to my eyes as he waits for a response.
I swallow the lump that has inevitably formed in my throat, "It was only training. You slammed me against a wall of a 1-by-1 closet," I lean forward, engaging in this stupid game that he has started.
"Don't act like you weren't into it," He tilts his head back, his eyes showing an expression that I haven't seen on him before.
