ACD stands for After Climate Disruption. It’s a fantasy world where two types of energy emerged and saved humanity: natural Ability and Crystal energy.

The ACD series follows stories set in a post-climate-disruption world, from humanity’s first discovery of energies to reaching the stars. At its core, it’s about bonds that endure through difficulties. About love and respect that must be freely given, or it become prisons. About messy, deeply human connections that refuse to break, no matter what the world demands.

Yes. The ACD series centers on MM romance. The worldbuilding explores a post-climate-disruption reality where two distinct energy systems emerged: natural Ability and Crystal energy. The world spans from Earth’s recovery to eventual space colonization.

Yes. The series features multiple POV characters whose stories interconnect across books. The narrative includes diverse protagonists, both MM romance (Taj and Song, Jo and Ruben, Jo and Aldo) and MF relationships (Rowan, Luna, Risa), with some unreliable narrators adding complexity. Characters from different series eventually cross paths in unexpected ways.

The series features slow-burn M/M and F/M romance, soulmates across time, found family, and morally gray characters. The stories focus on emotional intimacy, loyalty, and bonds that endure through challenging circumstances.

The series features slow-burn romance with moderate heat. The focus is on emotional connection and relationship development rather than explicit scenes. Some moments are intense and steamy, but they serve character development and plot.

The First Crystaler is a new MM romance fantasy book by svl yisanliu. This book launches a new ACD subseries exploring the world’s origins. It follows Jo, Ruben, and Aldo: three men whose complicated relationship shaped the natural energy cult and the first creation of Crystal energy.

Expect a tighter POV structure, more illustrated art, and a deeper dive into MM romance dynamics. The books reveal how humanity artificially created Crystal energy and the choices that defined this invention. The relationships explore complex queer dynamics between three men, the science is more prominent, and the emotional stakes are higher.

The trilogy contains mature themes including toxic and manipulative relationships, violence in political contexts, trauma, grief, and power dynamics. The series also includes a recovery arc for a character healing from sexual abuse trauma. These themes are handled thoughtfully within the romantic fantasy framework, with a focus on healing and growth rather than graphic detail.

The completed trilogy consists of three full-length novels. Each book ranges from approximately 130,000 to 160,000 words. Plan for a substantial reading commitment to follow the characters’ journey across 200 years. The complete MM romantasy series is available now on Amazon.

Yes. The trilogy has a happy ending. While the journey includes grief, loss, and tough choices, the series ends with hope and resolution for the main characters.
