Ran out of space, but the Belphegor pic is drawn by @scrabber.bsky.social

If you want a good series, I can recommend the Pendragon Series by DJ McHale, I'm not sure if it's up your alley, but I was surprised at how good it was. Granted it's more fantasy/sci fi instead of xenofiction, but it ranks as one of my favorite book series.

That makes sense, actually. My Mayu fic was how we got to know each other.

Really? Cross? How so? I'm not disapproving, I'm just curious.

I've thought about this, but I see some Piccolo in you, from the Dragonball series. At least post him becoming a good guy.
