It is finally starting to feel like Spring where I live, my room is warming up during the day to levels where I consider maybe opening the window.
I would love to open my window, but the problem is… opening means I will have to do the battle to close it again.
It doesn’t like closing properly…

Well, considering how stuffy my room has got over winter due to lack of ventilation I will do it sooner rather than later though, especially with it warming up.

Once a misfortunate orphan and genius alchemist, Glass Dimelia defied death through forbidden research—only to be executed by a divine agent. However, the goddess Aurora granted him reincarnation, and due to Fortuna’s intervention, he retained his memories. Now reborn as Leafa, a girl in a new era, she embarks on a journey to find love and happiness.

After a string of terrible anime this season I have to say that From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated has completely knocked it out of the park…
I think my cheeks will cramp up from the dumb smile I am getting on my face at watching a 52 year old man navigating otome game tropes.

After finishing all the episodes it makes me want the same studio to adapt that other otome game reincarnation story where a guy gets reincarnated as the father of the villainess, and decides he will just spoil his daughter. I should consider re-reading that one if it’s still around online, I enjoyed it.

So Klukai released in Girls Frontline 2 today…
I threw 300 standard currency units at the gacha pool.
This is the first time I have truly truly whaled for a single character… I managed to get her just over halfway to max…
The gacha was cruel… I failed ever 50/50. I am grateful for the new characters I got because I wanted them too… but not this way… I wanted them on the standard banner…

Ah the pain. Don’t do gacha kids, it’s bad for you.
Well, luckily I have some semblance of financial self control so I stopped, no sunk cost for me… for now.

I decided to throw myself into rereading Seoul Station’s Necromancer because I couldn’t remember where I dropped off.
Only because I made a joke about how it’s another one of the many many Necromancer stories the other day.

Anyway, it’s better than I remembered actually. I guess I didn’t get a strong impression of it before, but it has some unique ideas included honestly.
It makes sense, I quite like it.

Sometimes I wish Magicraft Meister had an anime, but then I remember the scene I most want animated (when the protagonist uses his full arsenal of modern vehicle recreations) is so late into the story the anime would never make it there anyway.

Magicraft Meister has a really slow start, so the first season, or maybe two, would be rather dull I think. Well, they’d be good slice of life stuff, but none of the dramatic events happen until way way later. Which is a shame.

I wanted to share some of the best clips of the ongoing ReZero season with my friends on discord, so I decided to go through and find the best option but I like all of them… what a dilemma.
The entire Regulus fight is just perfection, honestly this whole arc is great, I loved it in the web novel too.
Interestingly never read the light novel version of this arc I don’t think…
Hm, once again I am wanting to reread it.

There appears to be a new plugin installed on the site, or something like that.
Because the “Copy” option has been renamed “Duplicate”.
Which is just the most niche pretentious change I have ever seen, like they really wanted to put their stamp on it.
“Yeah we changed this! Look at the features!”

Amazing. Just, amazing. I don’t even know what else to say about it.

The site owner has decreed usage of this image for the background it seems!
Since I was not settled on the previous image – and I have forgotten what that image was – I will use this one going forward.
They also mentioned how I had been hotlinking illustrations for this novel from the source instead of uploading them to the site.

I did have reasoning behind that!
The first was that it meant there was no extra effort in the sites part to load the images, so no storage demands or lag on the back end side of things.
The other was that, ostensibly, the source will be as high quality as you can get with no loss!
I had reasoning!
Although, yes to be fair it’s not quite as future proofed, if the source goes down so too would all the links…

Only then did it hit me—Robin never uploaded those images directly to Re:Library. Instead, they were hotlinked from the source.

Now, I have to sift through entire volumes to find the right image for this series. And while I’m at it, I might as well upload all the images to Re:Library for future-proofing.

Maybe I should host a vote for what background to use too… I just grabbed the first result on the site for this novel…

Tomorrow, if I remember… for sure.
I’ll check that discord DM, I swear.
