This chapter was rather interesting to edit because the author sort of addressed a complaint I made a few chapters ago.
This is a really good example of writing, because it validates the readers suspension of suspension of disbelief.
It sounds a bit counter intuitive but it actually encourages the reader to be critical of what they are reading and make their own judgements.

That kind of writing style is really good at preventing plot holes, because if you encourage the readers to do it then you yourself have to make sure you’re keeping things in mind.
Of course, I don’t expect this to be perfect since it’s a web novel and things slip out of memory much easier in something you’re writing on the go.

I’m watching someone do art on twitch, and they’re drawing Lena Tally.
For a very long time I was watching this thinking it was an OC.
And then only when it started to be coloured and detailed did I realise it was a fecking DanMachi character.

It is a strange world we live in.
There is someone who is actually a big enough fan of a background character to pay for art of them.

My Apreggio of Blue steel collection now has 18 volumes.
It’s crazy to think how long this manga has been going now even when it doesn’t feel like one of the big ancient franchises.
Which just goes to show how massive the really old ongoing ones actually are.

And then there’s ones like Raildex that are just ridiculous for how recent they feel in comparison too.

I’m catching up on the story content for Genshin now.
Finished all the main story and the character stories (except Xiao which I’ll do today) as well as all of Noelle’s hangouts.

I get that they couldn’t have solid continuity for the hangouts given all the alternate endings, but it was a bit of a shame that the second one didn’t reference the first much other than acknowledge that you have met before.
Noelle is cute though, I really need to work out a priority order for the characters I want to build.

I’m doing Mona currently because she’s a 5 star and would react with Keqing.
But I also need to do Fischl, Xiangling, Noelle, Albedo, Barbara and Jean… and some others…

Also I want Eula. I managed to stop myself playing to roll for her because I knew I’d spend money but now I regret not playing and spending money.

I bought and started reading the 86 novels last night.
I read through the first three in a few hours.
They had me hooked.
Also it was really hot and I couldn’t sleep so I thought why not do that since I had nothing better to do haha.

You can tell it was originally meant to be a oneshot because Volume 3 sort of retcons the epilogue of Volume 1 ever so slightly but it’s nitpicky levels.

Genshin update! Not an update for Genshin, but an update on my Genshin.

So I’ve basically finished the new region. Not sure if they have an achievement for finding all the chests or not, if they do then I missed some.
But I got all the collectibles and did all the puzzles I found. Spent an hour on that musical stone one. That was tough.

With the event stuff mostly out the way I did some of the content I have missed up to now, namely housing.
I have my own teapot now!
It’s not very well decorated obviously. I chose the floating islands.

Albedo is currently my NPC. I was tempted to use one of my waifus but I’d rather have them inside the house, but that requires me to furnish the house.

I saw someone tweet that they wanted to find an artist today, and the replies were like…
50+ artists advertising their style and rates.

I’m not gonna fault either side for this. I mean you ask so you get what you want.
And if you don’t advertise as an artists then who will bother with you right?
I mean this is exactly how it should work.

But it’s just funny to see!

Also low key want to find an artist to draw the heroine from my novel so I was stalking that post.
Didn’t find anyone with the right style though.
I shall return to stalking people asking for artists until I find the right one.

I started playing Genshin again properly today against my better judgement.

The new event has given me a boat.

I am a simple man.

I love this game again.

Also let me keep the boat please!
