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.
Oh right I forgot to say last ramble, but we have a new editor now.
Shiro is here to reduce our suffering.
Basically they can do all my hard work for me now. Muhahahaha.
Well they’re actually a little more strict than me on the editing front. They remind me of when I first started out, actually caring about perfection.
Now it’s like “is this readable?” “yes” “then it doesn’t need fixing”.
Don’t tell Silva, he might get mad at me.
Shhhhhhh.
So Inazuma is out on Genshin, how are peoples opinions of it?
Honestly there is so much to do it’s a bit insane.
Interestingly they timegated some world quests too to make content last longer.
Honestly I am loving it but I’m a little worried I won’t unlock Reputation before the time reset. The number of quests you need to do are quite high!
Well I’ll try and blitz through my remaining ones then explore a bit to get some world percentage.
I need to do all the shrine stuff.
My parents went shopping today so I sent them off to get me some stuff.
But I totally forgot what stuff I needed.
It was a bit of a disaster.
In the end they just got me some snacks.
But I swear there was something I needed and I just can’t remember it.
I’m going to kick myself when it comes up again.
So just after this goes live the artist that drew my heroine for me will be opening a commission slot again.
Hopefully I can grab it.
My plan is to commission Eleanor (the heroine) in a ball room gown as I mentioned before.
I’ve already written out the notes I need and looked at some example accessories just to get the vibe right.
Well I’ll leave most of it to the artist, both because they’re female and know what female style is like…
but also because I have no eye for balance when it comes to fashion aesthetic.
Wow it’s 4am already here.
I feel like I’ve done nothing all day. It’s so weird.
So let’s break things down!
It hit 30 degrees here today, that’s a whole 50% over my comfort level. Safe to say it was hot.
I did some rudimentary design work on the concept of my fantasy submarine, mostly on aesthetic rather than function now, wanted to get the looks right.
I hit 20,000 points on my realm in Genshin, courtesy of two furniture sets I finished.
Uhm there were some other things too but I’m too tired to say.
Everyone is asleep on discord too so I have nobody to poke.
I fully caught up with the Spirit Chronicles light novel.
I read the web novel back in the day and I dropped it during the infamous “letter incident”.
As you may be aware the “letter incident” was a terrible and stupid arc in the web novel.
The light novel, having realised this, scrapped it entirely for an alternate version of events.
And it works sooooooo much better.
I’m so glad honestly.
This is what makes writing great, and why drafts are so important.
Originally I was going to use this prechapter ramble to talk about my impressions of Realist Hero’s latest episode.
Instead I’m going to follow up on my previous ramble about worldbuilding and art.
I finally settled on what piece of art I will commission next.
Although if I can grab a slot with the artist is up to chance, so we shall see!
But I’m thinking of going with Eleanor (the heroine) in a ball gown type formal dress.
We’ve brainstormed ideas and I have a pretty solid vision of her style, so I think it will turn out well.
The original plan was to get the main protagonist done, but he can wait.
Do you ever just do research for a novel you’re working on and just… get lost in the aether?
First I wanted to use alchemy symbols for the magic but realised alchemy went out of fashion before a lot of the scientific concepts my magic uses were invented, so I’d have to invent old style alchemy symbols to fill the gaps in scientific development! I’d literally be reinventing the periodic table!
Then I was looking at submarine concepts on how the design of the magical submarine would work and ended up on some scifi royal navy concept vessel that used zero point energy.
Crazy!
I need to stop worldbuilding and eventually write one day.
Also casual plug that you should check out the art of the main heroine I commissioned!
Are people watching the many many isekais this season?
I just finished watching Episode 2 of Spirit Chronicles.
This episode was slow because it had to cover the downtime and character development part of the first novel.
It had a massive timeskip too because the novel covers a long period.
From now on the pacing will start to even itself out, so it should be good.
Looks like Housing Savage is getting a nerf in Final Fantasy.
Instead of it being an endurance test for masochists to stand at a signpost clicking it for hours, they’re changing it to a lottery system.
This fills me with hope.
Is it misplaced hope?
We shall see.
Maybe it’ll be Housing Extreme from now on. Ideally I’d like Housing Hard.
I went on Novel Updates for the first time in months today.
I was so far behind on so many novels I just closed novel updates.
And now I will be even further behind…
Thus my conclusion is I should just stop reading novels!
Instead I will go read manga…. oh wait.
Did anyone watch the Irys debut?
I did watch the very start, EN technical curse continues, but sadly I had to stop shortly after.
This time tomorrow it’ll be football.
I know nothing about football except it’s happening and my family are turning it into a big deal.
I got reminded of the wonders of British television today.
Such creations as:
Merlin.
Leonardo.
Atlantis.
I wish Atlantis had a bit longer to find its footing, it would have been a worthy successor to Merlin I think.
Well no point wondering about what ifs.
Sometimes things just don’t work.
