Novels and Web Serials
Catgirl System
“Taipha, once an alley cat on Earth, is reborn into a fantastical forest with new powers that amaze and terrify her. She can level up, transform into a cat-human hybrid, and her hunts are routinely interrupted by flying boxes. Catgirl System is a playful, breezy LitRPG…updating as we speak!”
