Alchemist Startover Chapter 35

New Chapter!
The Nijisanji drama just doesn’t stop now does it?
I feel like every time I watch an update video outlining everything going on the video ends with another video.
I’m glad to see that there is some proper action being taken against the company by fans though.
The other companies speaking out is good too, but the big sponsors are not the ones involved.

I feel sorry for the other livers, but they’re the product that Niji is selling and the the only way to hit Niji will have to involve them as collateral.

New Chapter!
My friends persuaded me to get Palworld.
I’ve played 15 hours in the past two days.

I’m actually playing pretty casually in terms of actual progress though.
I just beat the first tower, and I haven’t progressed into anywhere beyond the “starter” region.
I did find one area that had like, level 20 enemies and haven’t braved the interior of it yet.

Still traumatised by that penguin boss that absolutely demolished me.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 33

New Chapter!
I saw World Trigger got a new manga chapter recently and I saw the title is like Part 35 of an ongoing arc?
I remember last time I read was that same arc… years ago…
The pacing must be absolute whack!

Especially because the arc prior ends on this massive promise of an upcoming climax that this arc is meant to lead towards!
Absolutely insane!

Alchemist Startover Chapter 32

New Chapter!
My usual habit of checking the weeks comments on the site was thwarted by the unread comment list not loading… so thanks wordpress.
Anyway, I was really surprised today when opening the chapter to do my editing when I realised that several more chapters are in the folder!
In fact there’s now an entire month of extra chapters in there for patreon readers…!

This is my subtle hint that you should go support the patreon and get early access to a bunch of extra chapters.
Like a good amount of them.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 29

New Chapter!
My clicker game adventures end here.
As fun as it was I started to realise that I had achieved the goal of the game when I got an achievement for doing it in under 5 minutes…
I figured there was no point in repeating and optimising to unlock the entire tree after that point, even if I was slightly interested in some of the unlockable event branches.

I shall uninstall and spare myself the suffering now.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 27

New Chapter!
Today my glasses decided they hate me.
For some reason at some point today, they just got really uncomfortable to wear just behind the ear.
Well, I’ve been wearing glasses for about twenty years now so I’m used to events like this, but it still just annoys me.

Anyway, it’s almost 4am. I totally forgot to prepare this chapter.
You read it the same day I edit it this time… that’s not good.
Anyway.
Here it comes!

Alchemist Startover Chapter 26

New Chapter!
I got an angry email today about missing a deadline for something, but when I checked the deadline it said the 15th?
So, now I am royally confused.
I missed a deadline that’s four days away?
Okay then!

Well, I’m going to just upload the document I have to placate them, even if I wanted to do one more run over it before I sent it in a couple of days.
Just the way the cookie crumbles.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 25

New Chapter!
I accidentally drowned my friend in a Fate lore rant today.
Well a nasuverse lore rant…
It was entirely accidental.

In my defence, we started talking about similarities between Elder Scrolls and Exalted creation lore.
And then I accidentally went on a tangent about Gaia and then into Notes and then…. well you get the picture.
Oh woe be my autism.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 24

New Chapter!
Yamato 3199 got a trailer, seems like the Japanese release is July.
Couldn’t tell if it’s going the route of the previous release and doing a theatrical first then being split for TV or the original release and doing TV first then combined for theatrical. I did find one place saying it would be 7 films, which sounds insane but it adds up, I think 2202 was like that.
From the garbled google translate article I found for it, they seem to be using a lot of the setup for Be Forever Yamato as per the namesake.
I hope they fix some of the really weird plotholes and weak developments. The original was a singular movie so multiplying the runtime means they can really focus on fleshing out the narrative.

I have high hopes for it. 2199 and 2205 were really good, I didn’t enjoy 2202 very much at all in comparison though.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 23

New Chapter!
One of the things I like about the setting for Frieren is that the mages in it don’t sit about twiddling their thumbs when it comes to researching spells.
A spell that the 4 strongest people in the world were completely unable to defend against 80 years ago gets reduced to the level of generic attack magic after it’s researched, and countermeasures are developed and improved. There’s a sense of progress and development for magic instead of everyone just trying to reclaim past glory like you see in other settings.

Alchemist Startover Chapter 22

New Chapter!
This chapter is one of the first ones to really highlight how entrenched this novel is with the author’s other works and their RPG.
Beware, the wiki is a rabbit hole, and with spoilers.
The character design art on there though is absolute fire.
Some really great work from the artist.

Not that you should spoil yourself.
I did it as part of my job!
