I write YA speculative fiction—sci-fi, fantasy and horror. I love all three genres, but I tend to gravitate towards sci-fi. In fact, funky science plays a role in all of my stories.
My work also contains: smart heroines, Asian-ness, big worldbuilding, goth aesthetics, ace rep, platonic romance, veganism and anime/gaming/fairytale elements.

I first started posting on Wattpad in January 2021. My first novel Komoreby was shortlisted for the Watty Awards 2022, which had over 40,000 entries, and entered the Editor's Choice list on the homepage. That same year, Wattpad invited me to join the very first cohort of its Creator Program, which was for authors with high engagement. I've also volunteered my time for 3 years as a Wattpad Ambassador to uplift indie writers, and eventually led teams as a senior, vetting hundreds of stories and judging contests.
Almost all of my second novel, Rhodoreef, was written on my phone due to the power cuts in my country. It won the Amby Awards under the sci-fi category in 2023. I've now finished my third novel, Black Avatare, and currently plotting my fourth. My stories are available free on Wattpad, both on web and mobile app. With Google Chrome's Natural Reader extension, they can also be listened to as audiobooks.

Komoreby
A high school story set in a glamorous Asian eco-city.
Fun. Quirky. Romantic. Shoujo with a sci-fi twist.
Shortlisted for the Watty Awards 2022.
Evanna, a lonely gamer girl, dreams big when she moves to a glamorous eco-city, where she reunites with her childhood bestie at the prestigious Komoreby High. Everything is set for a great new start—or so she thought.
When the very first day spirals to rock bottom, she thinks life can't get any worse—until a school tour of the city's gargantuan particle collider takes a bizarre turn. She awakens in a parallel universe with draconian rules and warped versions of everyone. To find her way home, she must unravel the mystery while navigating a social web of potential friends, foes and a rocker guy she's relentlessly drawn to.
Character-Driven
Follow the adventures of heroines who are smart, whimsical and rebellious. They come with plant-based predilections and make heartwarming bonds. Ships, when they occur, are platonic by choice or ace (not talking about boats). I prefer third person in gaming, since I want to take a step back from the character—same goes for my writing, but with inner monologues.
Sci-Fi & Worldbuilding
I love delving into the mind-boggling possibilities of quantum physics, space/ocean exploration and technology, and I bring out social/eco themes that could do with a spotlight. So underneath the fun and fluff, there’s always something for the nerds and thinkers. As a big science nerd, I do extensive research and draw inspiration from diverse sources.
Plot & Pacing
Plots are medium-paced in order to develop my themes and characters. I build intricate plots and strive for artistic unity. Embedded in carefully-crafted plots and huge worlds are pop culture references, mythology, symbolism and Easter eggs—which the nerdy readers are likely to unearth.
Art & Design
Due to my art background, my speculative settings and characters are crafted with a touch of art direction. Expect rich imagery in scenes, outfits and the story world. I produce concept art whenever I can. The cover art and graphics are all original artwork produced by me (except for occasional AI visuals I've specified as so).
Wattpad HQ Tour!
I didn't imagine I'd cross the world in 2025 to arrive in Toronto for my master's. My university is just 15 minutes' walk from Wattpad HQ.
Nick from Wattpad, who has been giving me feedback on my work and been immensely supportive, offered me a tour in early 2026!
Wattpad Ambassador
I've been trained as a Wattpad Ambassador and volunteered 4 hours weekly from 2021 to 2024 to uplift indie writers.
As a senior Ambassador, I led teams, managed official profiles, ran contests, organized activities, scouted for great stories, judged contests and vetted books for featuring.
I've received certicates and merch over the years—T-shirts, earphones, bags, pens, phone rings and more!
