Human Doll Contract, No Hero v8

Finished reading the books I got this week. :3;; I am so in the mood to read more light novels.

Human Doll Contract
Summary: Jiang Ziya comes home one day, only to discover that he has gained an additional niece. With his left eye that can see the supernatural, he realizes that his new niece is a ball-jointed doll. She was brought to life by strong emotions, but no one else in his family realizes she's not human. Luckily, she hasn't turned "real" yet and is still in the first stage of becoming real. Speaking their name once turns them into an illusion, speaking their name twice turns them virtual, speaking their name thrice turns them real. Ziya's initial discovery of his niece not being human is only the start of his supernatural troubles. He's told to burn his niece before she becomes real and uncontrollable, but can he really bring himself to do it?

I wondered what this book would be like! The snippets that Yu Wo posted in her blog made this feel very much like horror (and I really do not deal well with horror and dolls coming to life), but in the end, this was mostly a supernatural story. Kind of felt like a mix of Natsume Yuujinchou and xxxHolic. Poor Jiang Ziya. Always had to deal with people not believing that he can see the supernatural.

First line meme

This is what I do when I get stuck on writing.

First line meme snagged from seta_suzume! The idea is to list out the last 21 first lines I've written in fic, but I don't have that many fics. XD; So, have 12 first lines from me, the ones I've written this year. Most are from the beginning of new chapters instead of the very beginning of the fic. There are some unpublished lines as well, ones for fics that I should be posting soon. *keeps fingers crossed*
