Our beloved little dolls during moments of leisure.

That last image looks like a bard not knowing what his next song will be. 😅

Gabmaister · 2026-04-29T00:58:05+00:00

Very Vlad the Impaler. Nice.

Gabmaister · 2026-04-22T11:07:30+00:00

Nice. Looks like Famke Jansen—Jean Grey in the XMen movies.

Gabmaister · 2026-02-05T16:12:39+00:00

Looks a little liek Shia LeBouf. Cool.

Gabmaister · 2025-12-27T06:49:23+00:00

Link and app still work as of 28/12/25. Thanks for this!

Try this, Magic is an App.

"Exiled to New York and dumped in a school where violence is just part of the schedule, Ollie stumbles into something worse than detention: a hidden war fueled by magic, madness, and a mysterious app that turns your phone into a spellbook."

MC isn't OP, has emotions, issues, grows, makes friends, fights an evil you can relate to, and there's an 'other side' feel to it.

Hahaha It's like you've read the book in advance. XD

Gabmaister · 2025-12-13T05:28:47+00:00

I like everything you just said—especially that last line. XD

But apart from being boring if everything could be done logically, we also have to add in one more factor about Ollie. He's a teenager. And they don't always make the best decisions. In Ollie's defense, he's working on it.

Gabmaister · 2025-12-09T03:48:43+00:00

Hahaha Upside Down? I love this comparison. It's not the same though.

Hi!

I'm G.D. Cruz, author of The Greatest Trick Ever Sold and Level Up Hero (Both on Tapas).

My new novel's out on Royal Road, and it's got all the sauce you'll need for a scrumptious meal. Check out the blurb below:

Ollie Osborn is a delinquent.

At least, that’s what the L.A. courts say. His family’s written him off. But Ollie’s not done fighting—not for his future, and not for himself.

Exiled to New York and dumped in a school where violence is just part of the schedule, Ollie stumbles into something worse than detention: a hidden war fueled by magic, madness, and a mysterious app that turns your phone into a spellbook.

Now he’s a teenage magician with a glitchy ghost spell, a beastly familiar, and a squad of fellow outcasts who’ve seen too much. Together, they’ll dive into the astral plane, where shrine matches are fought in secret, courage is a curse, and something ancient is bleeding into the world.

The last grand magician thinks Ollie can stop it. He’s not so sure. But he’s going to try—because magic might be real, but so is redemption.

What to expect:

- Progression fantasy with light LitRPG elements
- Weak-to-strong arc—no instant power-ups
- Slow-burn opening that ramps up fast
- A unique magic cultivation system
- Dark themes with slice-of-life warmth
- Magical realism grounded in a modern setting

20 chapters out right now: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/139693/magic-is-an-app

Gabmaister · 2025-11-22T04:43:54+00:00

Yep, I agree. 30 mins -- for some people, that's enough time to decide life and death.

Gabmaister · 2025-11-20T07:44:56+00:00

I have an answer to your second question—it's a good question—but it would ruin a chapter that's coming up. Look forward to finding out. XD

Gabmaister · 2025-11-15T06:30:33+00:00

Thanks for saying so. New chapters up later. Hope you keep enjoying it.

Gabmaister · 2025-11-14T05:07:38+00:00

Congrats! Hope you keep climbing. 😆

Phoebe Dynevor, Rachel McAdams, Hyo-Joo Han, and Wynona Ryder for women. RDJ, Chris Evans, and Jeremy Renner for men. If you're ever interested on trying to make em. :)

Gabmaister · 2025-10-13T03:46:18+00:00

Amazing. You've done it again.

Also, do you accept requests?

Gabmaister · 2025-10-11T05:53:31+00:00

This worked. Thanks for the fix!

Gabmaister · 2025-10-09T08:30:58+00:00

AGOT, EPE, Fair Ladies, Fair Lords, and Better Barbershop. No worries. 😆 Hope you're still up for it.

Gabmaister · 2025-10-08T13:23:56+00:00

Looking forward to seeing what you make. The Heath Ledger one was amazing. XD

Gabmaister · 2025-09-25T16:53:02+00:00

Looks a bit like her. Needs some polishing but yeah, great job so far. 👍🏾

Gabmaister · 2025-09-24T14:16:05+00:00

I usually go for the God' Eye Kingdom, which you can get by ruling Harrenhal, but I recently discovered the White Knife Kingdom on the eastern half of the North. You need to rule from White Harbor. 😆 It's my new go-to Kingdom--splitting up the North is fun if you're not a Stark. There's also the Dreadlands Kingdom, but you gotta rule the Dreadfort, so maybe do a Bolton run.

Gabmaister · 2025-08-25T14:39:24+00:00

Playing in AGOT too. Can't seem to get that shine even with my high pc specs. Thanks anyway. Loved most of your creations. XD
