As title said. Felt like dumpling some of mine and decided to make a thread where everyone could do that. I can't remember if there already was one though.

An eldritch creature that feeds on the despair of living things. It exists outside all of space and time and occasionally gets attracted by despair of some creatures in some fragments of spacetime.
It would then find the cause of the despair and act in the usual contract with the devil manner, enticing its victims to sell their despair to it in exchange for a wish. The actual price is the soul of its victim and everything about them: their thoughts and memories and feelings and bodies become parts of a greater whole that is the demon. The victims now become the hosts, they are vessels for the demon to act. They keep their own autonomy and largely are the persons they used to be, but also no longer their previous selves, serving only the demon's will.
The demon's hosts are bound by a set of rules called the dining etiquette that largely limit their actions and the number of their victims.
The demon would be featured in its own story that would have a character arc for each host out of a bunch, each would explain different kinds of despair and mostly would act to take revenge.
The main antagonists would be the Spacetime Bureau, a huge organisation made from the survivors of the worlds destroyed by the demon. Their goal would be to contain its influence.
It's place in my lore would be it being a servant of Aralthen Bo Trekkil, the Caterpillar of the Fog and a host of the demon would have a cameo in another one of my novels, "wasn't my life in another world supposed to be easy?"
Dropped because it's too hard to write so many characters and my interest fades too quickly

The firstborn of a minor feudal lord of the Russian Empire. It would be a slice of life about an earnest young man working to manage the several villages that he inherited, building an infrastructure and trying to make a profit. No magic or fantasy elements, no modern day references, it would be a historical drama that would go in-depth in the daily life of such a noble without any unrealistic elements.
I was inspired after reading World and Peace by Tolstoy and I very excited to try my hand at this, but I dropped it because the amount of research I would have to do and the limited time I have.

A series in the same setting as another novel of mine, Magic of Love. While Magic of Love would focus on the bigger picture behind the Demon Wave as well as the romantic relationships between its protagonist Jennifer and the overpowered yandere's after her, Magic of Live would be about a native citizen of Ulte trying to make it through a Demon Wave and it would be more action-oriented.
Dropped because I haven't finished Magic of Love and I have basically lost the interest in the world where the stories' settings would take place
