Gendered to Perfection

Blurb:

I imagined a world where girls and boys were seperated and put in institutions to help them be more feminine or masculine, until they get reunited after years of work. Girls are taught in the "Perfect Wife in the Making" institute, spending up to 7 years in order to graduate, and they never saw a boy in their lives, until they reach 16. Boys live in a same concept institute but called "The Provider and Husband". Only the "unfortunate" stay in the institute and never graduate, leading the year repeaters to turn vile, their actions so disturbing and ego so artificially inflated. The characters in this story are never meant to be liked, I'm putting that aside. The rule of the woman's "perfect age" is criticism to the way people consider girls at a young age, since they started their period, to be the most desirable by men. The main character Gabrielle is unreliable and really cocky. The reasons are most likely her survival instinct and idealistic views of her future husband. And the teachers, girls, the four cruel women, are all the result of an imposed tradition that puts down women unfairly.

Chained by time

Blurb:

A chain of misfortune. An inevitable one. From generation to another, from grandmother to mother to daughter. A blinding loneliness. One mistake out of naivete and false hope in someone else. A baffling treatment from others that brings more and more confusion. It can't be helped. The main character is aware of her future and will, sadly, go through the same life as her dear mother. It's a pain. It's intimidating.

Lyubov’s delusion

Blurb:

Lyubov was infatuated by a man named Asim. She chased after him until he caved, and she invited him to her house, thinking "finally, behind his cold demeanor, he likes me back!" And oh, how wrong she was, and how did her delusion ruin her life entirely, leaving her hopeless with a fatherless child and a huge postpartum depression that led to something more tragic.

Excerpt:

"I just did to make her stop thirsting over me." He stopped for a moment before confessing "I made her regret ever liking someone like me."

The Caged up Owls

Blurb:

Prologue: The main character, named Lunette, was born an owl, and was forced into being caged for a long time with many other owls, facing an irreparable demise. After she was freed one day and being the lucky survivor, she found her secret power to turn into a human, although mostly just in physicality. And she envied humans so much when she learned they were the ones who could decide whether she stays in a cage, be freed, or die in imprisonment. And the world seemed to continue as long as humans are mindless to the harsh outcomes of the other owls apart from her. She found humans as the freest beings on this earth. They are allowed by God to use everything that was created according to what their hearts desire, to fulfill their internal needs and turn it into external benefit. And she secretly admired them for it, wanting to befriend them constantly. That's why she decided to use her human form more than her original owl form. She thought by blending in with humans, she will find her freedom and soul with their confidant. She sadly then found out humans are most judgemental to one another. They're not allowing any different opinion or perception on things other than their own which she finds, with her want to be true to herself while making connections with different people at the same time, as nonsensical. She encountered many that found her origine as an owl disgusting. So there's no way to truly determine what to do, considering that it's her true self. She deducted that in the end, there has to be a hidden yet harsh reason behind why people are trying to put her and each other down. But she was insisting to find it, as a way to make her desire to know and find answers be fulfilled.
