Oh, my, now that's a name to conjure with. Up until ten or fifteen years ago, I would occasionally find myself pointed at the odd story there for its SF elements; I stopped reading stuff there when they changed their membership requirements such that it became all but impossible for a casual browser (i.e., one who didn't want to pay for access) to check out their content.
The last thing I recall reading there was a set of stories which I now realize might appeal to some of the folks here (well, as long as they don't mind the explicit content). The title of the series and the first story was "Life with Alpha" or "Living with Alpha" or something similar; the story was, IIRC, about a retired IT professional who created an AI -- and then used the AI to create a harem of cyborg-gynoids who believed themselves to be various characters from literature, comic books and movies, displaced to his universe (and partially de-powered in the case of metahumans) in a manner not unlike My Apartment Manager Is Not an Isekai Character. This long after, I can't remember much of the plotline that ran through the various stories in the series, but I do recall that (absent the tech) the author did a good job of approaching things as realistically as possible. It hadn't reached a conclusion at the time I stopped visiting the site; I wonder how much more the author wrote.
