Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 68

J-Novel are currently do their new release announcements, and there’s some in here that I love! I have so much hype for them.
For example:

Now I’m a Demon Lord! Happily Ever After with Monster Girls in My Dungeon. Because that manga was great, I am so happy to see the novel picked up.

Of course, I’d never be content with a measly single isekai. Luckily for me there’s also Oversummoned, Overpowered, and Over It! This novel is similar to a concept I had about a protagonist who gets summoned to three different world, and benefits with new powers and equipment each time. At least up until his little sister is summoned instead! Launch the isekai rescue project! Of course this novel is different, but the inspiration is there.

And of course I can’t miss Reincarnated as my Gag Character! because that character concept is straight out of my fantasies too haha.
We’ll see what else is licensed as I edit.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 605

Alright I have been staring at this screen for like over an hour now.
I kept getting distracted by streams and discords.
I also took a brief tirade into the Stellaris reddit to see if anyone else is having a bug I am.

And then I went browsing twitter in an art hunt mood.
I think I found the artists I want to use for next months commissions in advance.
I don’t have a problem okay.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 604

I have spent the past three hours watching a vtuber play Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel instead of editing.
Anyway, as expected that book set to deliver today didn’t come.
You may be wondering why it was expected. Well the reason being is it was an Arpeggio volume.
My Arpeggio volumes are always at least a month late.

I usually forget they are even planning to ship them.
I had one that was so many months late it became a joke.
Anyway, back to editing. While trying to ignore this random hiccups.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 603

So yesterday Amazon said I had a book arriving tomorrow.
That was a lie.
Instead it is arriving tomorrow. That is more believable to me since tomorrow is in fact not a Sunday.

Sunday is not the most realistic day for delivery you see.
Anyway, back to editing.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 602

Alright today I must be speed because I lost track of time and I am running late and I have work tomorrow.
Please wish me luck fellow humans.

Since I am in a rush let’s use this pre-chapter ramble to discuss Mobuseka.
Trapped in a Dating Sim.

I originally thought they’d adapt the first three novels for the anime but it looks like they’re aiming to do just two, interesting choice.
I do wonder how it will play out in the end.

Automata Maid Chapter 9

I randomly checked amazon orders today out of some weird premonition.
Found out I have a book being delivered tomorrow?!
Tomorrow is a Sunday! And the book hasn’t even been dispatched yet!
The only way this makes logical sense is if it’s being dispatched from like… a distribution hub in the next town over?!

Amazon is a mysterious beast.

Automata Maid Chapter 8

I was meant to be sleeping earlier today to mentally prepare myself for work but I didn’t do that.
I’ll just be sleep deprived all next week too I guess.
Ah I’m not looking forward to tomorrow, it’ll be Sunday.
That’s the day I can’t relax because I have to prepare everything for the next week.

Working is a blessing and a curse.

And for those wondering about the scifi art commission if you are, check this link.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 67

Hello humans.
You know I have completely lost track of which novels I have spoken about this on by now so uh, hurray.
I need to start a new note folder just for tracking these.
Anyway as you may or may not know, I commission a lot of art for the main heroine of the novel I will eventually one day write probably maybe.
Well, recently one of those commissions was from a popular Evangelion and Xenoblade fanartist.
The concept was “draw my character in a scifi style” and boy did they deliver.

Take a look here.
Isn’t she gorgeous?!
It was completed exactly on my birthday too.

Swordsman’s Re:START Chapter 66

Hello everyone!
So in honour of the trusty, and well beloved, regular reader of this site known as Kowtoww I have decided to spam as many editor comments as possible for this next couple of chapters.
I apologise to those who liked the previous rate, but I also hope that those that love my little comments are able to enjoy these mass produced ones just as much!
In the meantime let us continue with this chapter.

Oh right, I should mention it’s almost 2am so my brain filter isn’t working.
Oh and I’m 25 now.
That makes me elderly by internet standards. Respect me.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 601

This will be my last post until after my birthday (It’s the 19th).
I look forward to seeing you all once I am 25!
I think I will be 25.
Uh, probably.

I can mostly count it’ll be fine!
Anyway it’ll be my birthday soon, so I’ll see you in the future.
And hopefully my new art commissions arrive by then!

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 600

It feels like it’s been eons since I started work on this novel.
In fact it’s been almost three years, seriously that’s a scary number to think about isn’t it?
We’ve gone through a lot together, you readers and I.

Mostly a myriad of translators.
You should all be thankful for my consistency.
And if you think about I’ve only missed like… four uploads in that time?
Okay well, a few more than that were late.
I think that’s a win though.

Anyway, let’s look forward to like… at least a thousand more chapters together.
Chinese web authors are different breed of writer I swear.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 599

The hardest part of managing commissions is when the batch is nearing completion and you need to start planning the next.
For budget reasons I like planning ahead, but the downside of that is I always miss my chance for spontaneous commission openings.
But if I keep money in reserve for spontaneous commission openings it means betraying the artists I regularly support.

Woe is the life of a commissioner.
Actually I need to contact an artist about some art I want done in the future.
I guess it’ll be easier to ask them about the price now rather than later.

Demon Sword Maiden Chapter 598

Tonight is an eclipse night.
Sadly for me the eclipse is at about 5am, and I need to wake up at 7am, so no chance for me to see it.
I’d sacrifice seeing it properly to see it earlier, since it roughly starts around 2am.
But it’s almost 1am now and it’s raining.

Typical Britain, can’t have anything nice here.
Well that’s life, anyway let’s get to the chapter, we left off on a massive cliffhanger didn’t we last week.

Automata Maid Chapter 7

So let’s explain what my excitement was about earlier.
Basically I commissioned some artwork of my character from a relatively popular artist on twitter.
And today was the day they were going to send me the concept sketches and they arrived!

This was just the basic pose for the piece, but I think it’s great.
They’ve captured a good mix of beautiful and sexy. As she’s basically turning back to face the viewer while standing in front.
Though half of that is because the pose work doesn’t include any clothes so…
Next up in fact is the outfit, which will be entirely original but heavily themed on Xenoblade’s science-fantasy aesthetic.

Automata Maid Chapter 6

At the time I am writing this I am expecting the first concept sketch from a famous artist that I commissioned.
I am very excited for this.
I can’t wait to see what they come up with for my character.

Like seriously.
So excited.
The only problem is that I don’t know if I will be able to sleep.
And then if I don’t sleep, I might end up oversleeping when they send me the sketches.
That’d be suffering!

In the time it took me to edit they sent me the sketch!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
That is a squee of joy.
I’ll discuss it in the next pre-chapter ramble.
