For some reason last night I found myself reading some more of Arifureta After.
It’s been literally over a year since I touched that web novel.
I think it must have been around when the anime was airing?

Not sure why I read it. I must have been really starved for a read and none of my current favourites have updated in a while so I dragged up something that had a lot of unread chapters.
That’s the only reason I can think of.
Keep in mind I read it at like 4am on autopilot in bed.

I want to write a scifi story about androids again.
Probably similar to the apocalyptic one I abandoned months ago.

I spoke about it in some older prechapter rambles on the other novels I post.
But it was about a guy who’s consciousness gets entangled with a combat android from a war in the distant future, and then having to survive in the wastes of civilization with the remnants of humanity. Then eventually getting dragged into the still smouldering embers of that war. Eventually culminating in an epic battle with the future at stake! Something like Fallout meets Honkai Impact?

My internet connection has been shoddy most of this week. It worked fine for a really long period today though!
Then like clockwork at 11pm it just died again.
Which is really annoying since I usually schedule these chapters gone midnight so that the timezone difference is easier to calculate!
(If I schedule it at midnight I can set it to schedule “tomorrow” on site time even though it’s “today” in my 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?

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).

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!

Somethings my genius is… it’s almost frightening.

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!
