Next week will be the 500th chapter!
500th!
What an insane number.
So I’m thinking of writing a proper loody chapter to satisfy your intense desires.
Especially after that threat from last chapter!
Hmmmm but what should the topic be?
I have an idea but comment if you have anything specific you want included.
Don’t worry my definitely-not-canon-breaking excuses are capable of handling any scenario!

Did I ever announce we picked up a second translator for this?
Uh.
I can’t remember.
Anyway this chapter was translated by Yuki!
Yuki is helping fill in for the fact that we were basically murdering our previous translator through overwork.
Condolences for their lost sleep.
Hopefully things should be a bit more balanced now!
Translator rights are important and respected here!
I hope it’s not too different to read, I sort of entered a symbiotic state with the previous translator and it takes time to adjust to a new translators style.
I’ll try to edit them into a similar way but obviously it’s impossible to cut out the interpretations.
This happens every time a translator changes, so don’t see this as me insulting the new translator, it’s just a mindset thing.

So my Christmas art commission of my novels heroine is in progress and almost done.
The prompt I gave the artist was basically just “I want a slightly spicy piece of artwork with a Christmas theme” and I left the rest up to them.
At first it looked like it was going to be of her wrapped in ribbons like a present, but while drawing some extra parts for temporary twitch safety they hit upon an idea apparently and the entire premise of the illustration changed concept to bunny girl.
So now I have a Christmas bunny girl in the works.
Makes me wonder what I’m going to get for Easter now…

There’s so much to talk about this week I honestly don’t know here to start.
Well first things first lets report my progress for Arknights…
I suck at this game.
I’ve barely dented the story. Not once managed to beat one of the promotion material missions and got stuck in the story.
Basically this game just doesn’t fit the way I play games and I’m spinning my wheels hoping to somehow magically get strong enough to enjoy the story.
But in other gacha news.
Blue Archive is great, excitedly waiting for the girls I want to release.
AND
Eula rerun on Genshin soon!
HYPE!
I quit the game to avoid paying money to get her then regretted it and now I have a chance to spend money again!
I was hoping for more time to save up though because I only have a 50% chance right now.
Sigh.
Well my bank is ready as a failsafe.

Important pre-chapter ramble this time, don’t skip!
Readers we seek your opinions!
As some of you have said the name of Merc as it stands currently is a little strange to read so we’re deferring to your opinions regarding names for future chapters
Changes in discussion:
Merc -> Mercy (as Merci is french and basically means ‘thanks’ it feels a bit off)
Mercy is a healer in the game Overwatch, so us staff think that it fits the theme as well enough as a replacement for Merc. But feel free to give your input!
Rousseaurumu -> Rosemary
We believe it fits with the atmosphere of the herb, since like the herb Merc’s master is quite old and she deals with plants and medicine, so we think it fits. But if some of you are traumatised by High Guardian Spice, we also understand.
Also, one last thing, how should we handle the monster naming, for example: Belbit and Velche (which mean Horned Rabbit and Winged Wolf). Do you prefer the fantasy names, or the literal ones. Although it fits the setting more to keep the names, it does make them harder to remember, so we’d like your opinions on this front too!

Welcome to Chapter 5 of Volume 5.
Well today Jurassic World Evolution 2 releases.
Today that this posts I mean.
I’ll be playing it in like, exactly two hours from when this goes live.
On twitch of course.
Don’t come and watch me though.
Instead you should read every novel on this site. That’ll keep you busy.

I got distracted playing Arknights while scheduling this.
Originally I planned to just leave the auto running to get me money but…
Oh this game made the dumb design choice of locking the money quest behind a schedule?
SERIOUSLY?!
Why would EXP be always available but not money?!
ISN’T THAT BACKWARDS?!?!?!
Argh this game goes between good and downright awful.

So in this pre-chapter ramble for Re:Start I discussed maybe starting Arknights.
Well anyway, today I went through the effort of redownloading that emulator and dragging myself through the bios settings again because I upgraded my motherboard some months ago.
Did all the usual jazz.
And installed it.
The game is…
How to put it.
The story is serviceable, there are some weird holes in the lore of the world that are baffling but that is expected of anachronistic settings.
The gameplay however is a bit, it feels uneven.
Some levels feel really trivial and then others are like:
“Aha we lulled you into a false sense of security and now we’re going to screw you over unless you take time to level up even more characters.”
I’m going to keep going and hope that I just get into the swing of things, but when I know I’m having an off time with the tutorial content I don’t have much hope for the late game balance honestly.
It didn’t help that my first happy gacha moment was ruined by it being a dude. I got cockblocked.

When this goes live, I think, Jurassic World Evolution 2 will be releasing tomorrow.
That is, tomorrow on the day of this post.
Not tomorrow for me, the day of this post.
Timezones! Don’t you love them!
Yes for those curious, I preordered the deluxe edition.
I will also be streaming it!
Hopefully.
Well, make sure to check in for the next chapter, I have more game related news for me.

I’m thinking of trying Arknight’s after a friend kept talking about it.
Apparently they too had the same misunderstanding as me, and thought it was a scifi setting instead of a postapocalyptic fantasy setting.
I’m kind of curious as to how you blend dystopia and fantasy honestly.
I mean sure Warhammer did it but…. I dunno I’m just not a fan of Warhammer.
Ah but I still want to play Stellaris and Genshin, and then Jurassic World Evolution 2 releases in a few days…
Too many games and not enough free time.
What do you think?

Volume 5 is here!
Also I think I made a brain smush typo earlier on where I accidentally used Volume instead of Series when talking about how we were barely half way through.
I only realised that because we started a new volume and I remembered thinking I said we didn’t start a new one for a while.
Guess I was thinking faster than I can type.
Well anyway, look forward to like a thousand more chapters of this hahahaha.
Oh god my lifes work is going to be publishing this novel.
Volume 5: Heian-kyō! STARTO!

I have become a hardcore Stellaris addict as of late.
I’ve been downloading, changing, swapping, uninstalling and redownloading mods by the dozen.
All just so I can prepare for a roleplay stream playthrough.
The idea is to do a stream where I play through every decision in the nature of not only the empire but the ruler as well.
And I’ll probably set up the empire to be a democracy, so that chat can be members of the parliament to vote on crucial matters of import.
I think it will be fun, but I want to give the playthrough lots of flavour, so the mods are critical.

The title of this Chapter is the same as the title of the Volume.
Does that count as a name drop?
Is it time to roll credits?
Well apparently not because we’re only half way through this volume.
Whew boy, looks like we’re gonna be here for a long while longer!

Hello loyal fans!
My fans I mean, I only care about my fans.
Fans of other people and things are irrelevant.
Well my time working on Blue Sky has come to an end.
But that’s fine because I now have a new project.
If you’re liking DSM then you’ll like this too, totally not shameless advertising.
Oh and todays chapter felt huge.

Here is my final chapter of Blue Sky.
Well actually we technically have three more but they start the next arc so we opted not to publish those… for now.
It might happen in the future.
That said, my first post for Re:START is live!
So now you’re done with these go read that.
This coming December it will completely replace Blue Sky’s twin chapter slot on Monday’s.
I hope that you all give it a shot to read!
