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.
While scheduling this I somehow managed to get lost in watching a three hour long video on Pokemon Sword and Shield.
Look, just don’t ask.
Someone linked it in discord, I started watching it. Twenty minutes in I realised it was three hours long.
Decided to cut my losses and watch the whole thing. Surprisingly didn’t even realise the first hour go by!
After that hour though I became very aware of how delayed my scheduling was getting so I became more conscious of the time.
For some reason today I spent hours reading a bunch of korean webtoons.
I guess this is the natural progression of my desire to read more manga to fill the gaps while waiting for novel translations and such.
There are quite a few good webtoons, it’s funny how all the ones I stumbled on that I enjoyed all involved mmo style dungeon raids.
They’ve really made a subgenre for it.
I also started to catch up on a few novels I read that have had anime announcements, just to get back into the groove.
Also a few webnovels I dropped years ago got picked up again…so I might try to reread those…maybe?
Someone find me a novel or manga with cute imouto romanceeeee!!!!!!
My imoutonium levels have reached critical!
Need more cuuuuuuteeeneeesssssss!!!!!
I started reading two today but one of them turned into some weird bdsm fantasy and I dropped that one immediately and the other have really chibi art that wasn’t cute at all so I dropped that also!
It’s another Chapter 69!
Insert another joke here!
No footnotes this chapter and barely any edits.
I recovered from my temporary internet outage but I forgot to edit and schedule these chapters until right as I was about to turn off my PC.
So I am in a biiiiiiiiit of a rush!
I scheduled this chapter while writing down notes for something else and almost got myself completely turned around by copy and pasting the wrong things!
I’m sure you guys would much rather read the story than a bunch of notes regarding various literature genres for references.
For context, I’ve been dissecting some genres while working out what ones I have the most familiarity with regarding writing plots for RPG campaigns.
One of my friends wants to set up a multi-gm Torg Eternity campaign which each GM having their own faction as a focus.
I’m not all too certain what faction I might end up being in charge of if I decide to GM because the faction with the genre I’m best at isn’t an all too interesting faction (generic fantasy). While the faction I find most interesting has a genre I’m completely unfamiliar with by comparison (pulp fiction).
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.
