Summary
Orin Mesova was supposed to have a simple job. Cook food for aliens once, then never interact with aliens ever again. Then, his food made them cry. And howl. And scream in euphoria. And now they want him to keep cooking for them.
Orin and his coworkers whisk eggs, chop veggies, and season meat for their new unusual benefactors, desperately serving as humanity's first intergalactic impression. Along the way, they'll learn more about themselves, their new universal neighbors, and the nature of food and culture on our world and beyond. Every meal they cook and every story they coax out of an alien paints part of a portrait of interplanetary politicking and scheming, with food serving as the only key capable of untangling this centuries-old web.
And, somewhere along the way, they might form bonds with some of these aliens. Unapproved, government-prohibited bonds.

Summary
A young Splatsville engineer is forced to keep a journal they don't want to keep after losing their voice. Their slowly declining life gets flipped on its head when they crash land in the middle of nowhere. Stuck with three annoying strangers and no clear way home, things will surely only get worse for them from here on out.
Right?
Well,
Love has a way of finding people when they need it.

Summary
Riz Gukgak gets time looped when the tail end of his junior year goes poorly. Now stuck reliving the same night over and over, he has as much time as he needs to get it right.
But, he’s not alone. By using an archaic form of communication, Riz is able to talk to someone named Siffrin, who claims that they were also stuck in a time loop. Siffrin and his friends give Riz some… questionable advice as he navigates the 5th worst thing to ever happen to him.
Surely, this Siffrin character is an emotionally healthy individual who will keep Riz’s mental health in check!
