The Algorithm Chose Me: System Error - Love Not Found

by J.F.O. Black

The Algorithm, the all-knowing system that pairs every citizen with their perfect match. No heartbreak. No choice. No mistakes.

But when Pete Alvarez, a restless slacker, and Jane Iqbal, a logic-bound prodigy, are labeled “unmatchable,” they become living errors in a flawless world. Their sarcastic “fake date” sparks a viral rebellion, and an impossible love that defies prediction.

As their connection spreads like a contagion, Optima begins to unravel. Because The Algorithm can process every variable except the chaos of the human heart.

Darkly funny, thrilling, and emotionally charged. A story about love, rebellion, and the messy beauty of being human. The Algorithm Chose Me asks what happens when love stops following the rules, and starts rewriting them.

About the author

Hi! I'm a fiction writer who's passionate about crafting intimate, atmospheric worlds where magic and emotion drive my characters' decisions. I write romantasy with depth, stories brimming with longing, resilience, and the quiet power that blossoms between people who never give up on each other. When I'm not writing, you can usually find me outdoors, experimenting in the kitchen, enjoying a great show, or getting lost in a game. I believe the most impactful stories are those that make us feel seen, and that belief is the foundation of every book I write.
