Welcome to Manytales, a mystical library where every person’s life is recorded in a book. A heartwarming fantasy about finding one’s own path amidst countless choices!

A long time ago, many were blinded by the temptation of possessing a book that recorded one’s life—believing it could grant them control not only over their own fate but over others’ as well. These books inscribed every thought and action, and whatever was written within them became reality. Those who sought to exploit the books only to destroy them incurred the wrath of the gods and were cursed. As punishment, they lost their own stories and were doomed to oversee the books of others for eternity.

The Manytales Fantasy Library follows the journey of their descendants in Manytales, a place where books that record every life are kept. This fantasy novel depicts the growth of the library’s caretakers, the Venic. The clumsy yet passionate Aisha, the indecisive but warm-hearted Theodore, and the selfish yet sharp-witted Cordelia—three rookie caretakers struggle through their turbulent apprenticeship, striving to become full-fledged caretakers.

This novel delves into the themes of choice and responsibility, prompting deep reflection on how one’s decisions leave lasting marks—not only on their own story but on others’ as well.

Through the eventual journey of the apprentice caretakers, readers are encouraged to consider the values worth upholding as they navigate the countless choices in life. Ultimately, the novel serves as a powerful reminder of a fundamental truth: only you can write the pages of your own book.
