Editor for and Demon Sword Maiden!
Gentrified NEET and siscon.
Currently looking for an imouto. Applicants must be under the age of 16, cute and with long hair.
Optional traits are: Neko, princess and/or maid.
The Princess Connect event is really simple and it’s left me so confused!
I think I’ve been traumatised by FGO events so I was expecting the worst when it came to this game too but…
It’s just so casual and chill.
Are all the events going to be like this?
If so I have no idea why I was panicking so hard and working myself to the bone to grind so that I’d be strong enough to complete it.
I mean sure I’m not the pinnacle of optimisation but I’m still doing fast enough that I will definitely get everything I want before the start of next week!

I had an internet outage today, I might have to reinstall my ethernet driver or something.
I keep getting IP errors.
Well it’s probably not too big a deal, there’s any number of things it could be.
My divers, my power adaptor, the router… so forth.
Before you ask, yes I tried turning them off and on again!
Anyway it’s working enough now to post these at least!

So another isekai light novel got an anime announcement.
This time it’s that assassin one.
That assassin one isn’t too bad actually…it jumps around a bit too much though in my opinion.
Well I did really like the mage girl in that story though…like a lot!
Also the way it plays with the skills being common sense wasn’t bad.
More excited for Banished From The Heros Party though for the skill treatment.
Some dude named Zack Snyder or something is making “a faithful retelling of King Arthur’s tale” or something.
Honestly that has to be a joke right?
Faithful retelling? How?
Someone please direct me to the definitive edition of The Legend of King Arthur.
Honestly there’s so many contradictory versions thanks to Celtic and Christian and French influences.
Wait if it’s a faithful retelling do you think it’ll be a Fate movie?
Please stop trying to make movies about this!
There’s a very good youtube video about public domain movies!
I should really have talked about the manga I was reading on this prechapter ramble rather than on one of the DSM rambles.
I mean given the name of the manga is Ariadne in the Blue Sky it just would have fit so much better.
Well, it’s not like I can change the past.
Also it gives me an excuse to talk about it again here which allows me to save a ramble topic for a time where I run out of ideas!
I started a new manga today and ended up binge reading it.
I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it turned out to be.
Honestly I thought it was gonna be some generic globe trotting story with some fantasy elements and a bundle of tropes.
The end result actually gives really strong Last Exile vibes strangely.
It was a really good read, even if it did use a similar twist to Plunderer just in reverse. No idea which came first.
I actually look forward to how it develops.
I should really give other manga a shot sometimes, I think I fixate on novels a little too much because their stories progress faster.
Ironically I happened to have left a playlist running and it was going through the Fate/Grand Order OST as I was scheduling this one.
Given all the Arthurian references in this novel I feel that’s quite fitting.
Actually doubly so for this chapter.
Things look like they’re about to reach another climax soon so let’s see where things go from here!
As you guys know, we are getting close to catching up with the author on this novel.
When we do catch up the translator is most likely going to take a break.
They have been doing this project for months without break to pump out the chapters every week.
I think splitting the long chapters has been the only thing preserving their SAN points.
I was originally considering proposing to Silva about reducing the number of chapters a week, both to extend the longevity and to reduce the strain but I feel this close to the end it might have the opposite effect now.
Also I’d get less ad revenue…
Decisions.
It is that time of year known as Valentine’s Day here.
Make sure to slay any couples you lay eyes on.
Not just because they should be at home due to lockdown but also because they should just explode.
I don’t think I wrote it here, but I did send it in at least one of the discords at the time of the last episode.
But if anyone is watching Log Horizon I have a theory as to how Shiroe is going to overcome the obstacle set out in front of him currently.
I’m really curious as to if I’m right but I think I likely am.
I won’t write it here because it might be spoilers for those who are behind or plan to watch long after this has gone live.
Anyway, basically it just has to do with the election rules and that final panning shot at the end of the last episode.
If you do want the theory then I sent it on a discord server somewhere…forgot which one. Not helpful I know.
After watching from the sidelines and laughing at the production disaster that is Ex-Arm I felt like it was only fair that I gave it a shot and actually read the manga source.
I was…mostly surprised.
It was different than I was expecting, the writing is a bit weird in places but I can see the appeal.
Some of the aspects are pretty amazing and do resonate with my interests but overall I think it’s mostly just above average.
I’ll probably keep reading it just to see how it turns out though.
Honestly the protagonists situation would be something like a dream to me though…mostly.
Obviously I’d have some personal objections over that early treatment.
I mentioned in a different ramble that it has been snowing where I live.
So I’m going to use this ramble to talk about the moment where my lights flickered!
It was obviously because of the snow, but I was streaming D&D at the time so I made a joke about it being an EMP.
Would have been fun if it was an EMP but sadly my other electronics were not targeted.
Clearly I am not enough of a threat to our alien overlords yet.
But soon, soon I tell you.
Speaking of alien overlords, my friends started reading Three Body Problem recently, apparently it was free on Amazon.
I wasn’t sure what to write about for this one, I had a few ideas but none of them felt like I could manage a decent paragraph on.
So I decided it’d be fun to write about the light novels I’m reading at the moment.
I recently finished a binge to catch up on a couple of web novels and decided to give a couple of titles from J-Novel a shot after.
I decided to go with Failure Magician because it seemed like Fushi no Kami. Honestly, not impressed.
It’s rare for me to not like a J-Novel title in this way but the writing fell really flat and uninspiring, probably won’t purchase it.
The other was Other World Magic Is Too Far Behind, I read the web novel translation back in the day and seeing it was on catch up gave me the chance to well, catch up!
It’s about as I remember so I can’t wait to get to wherever it was that I left off.
It actually snowed where I live today!
It wasn’t exceptionally deep snow but enough for it to crunch under your feet, build a snowman and go sledding.
Of course, as an otaku NEET I did none of those and just admired the view from my window.
Though…my room is extremely cold!
One day I will find a way to balance the temperature of my room. Eventually. I hope.
Still I really didn’t think it would snow where I live due to my proximity to the sea which usually keeps the temperatures from fluctuating too excessively compared to the more inland areas.
Comparatively of course.
