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!
I mentioned in a different ramble that it has been snowing where I live.
So I’m going to use this ramble to talk about the moment where my lights flickered!
It was obviously because of the snow, but I was streaming D&D at the time so I made a joke about it being an EMP.
Would have been fun if it was an EMP but sadly my other electronics were not targeted.
Clearly I am not enough of a threat to our alien overlords yet.
But soon, soon I tell you.
Speaking of alien overlords, my friends started reading Three Body Problem recently, apparently it was free on Amazon.
I was reading another web novel lately and in it there’s a release of a space vrmmo game all about building ships and exploring the galaxy.
It reminded me that I was partially writing a novel concept for that which actually made it to the “first chapter stage” which is more than can be said for my other concepts.
It was that one where the guy gets transported into another reality with all his assets from a space mmo game.
I was going to have him a player shipyard for the designing and building of ships so he could defy all common sense by using technology from the game world.
I never really got into that though and my notes are missing details because I never fleshed them out and forgot to go back to it so I doubt I could cleanly pick it back up unlike some others.
This chapter was an interesting one because it shows the author has done some baseline research into the UK but also not enough to be considered knowledgable.
I suppose it’s at the level of an anime fan knowing some trivia about Japan?
It’s quite interesting to read because of that.
I tried to point out some details here and there, the bit about the flag was actually slightly wrong in the original so I helped adjust it to be more accurate.
I almost had a heart attack while scheduling this because someone commented on a Blue Sky chapter while I was in the middle of it and I thought I posted it too early!
Then I realised the chapter number and almost had another one because the numbers didn’t match up!
Then I realised the commenter was a binge reader who was catching up…phew.
Crisis averted.
The adrenaline may now leave the system!
Brexit has become a joke.
The government are telling industries that have be harmed by the new legislation about exporting to the EU to just set up EU.
They’re literally telling industries to leave the country now!
How is that taking back control and enhancing our domestic market!
It’s total poppycock and I’m getting increasingly furiously each time I read about the ridiculousness the government is spouting.
The referendum was dumb, it was a mistake to take it as law, there should have been a second, the delays were pointless and we’ve been screwed over by the people who knew better not putting the breaks on for the deluded masses.
I had a tiny smidge of optimism that maybe the impact would be mostly unnoticeable but…
Well I should have known better.
I hurt my neck staying up to 6am reading all my light novels!
I have so many to catch up on though!
I stopped reading for so long…
My web novels are even further behind.
There’s not enough hours in a day to read all my novels and play all my games and watch all my anime!
I wasn’t sure if I should post this as a solo chapter or together with a proper chapter.
But then I realised we only had one more chapter that had been checked over!
So if I did that we wouldn’t have a chapter tomorrow…
So.
Enjoy your extra chapter!
Just as an FYI.
There’s no story in this chapter…it’s pure infodump! The signs of a bad writer.
I think my repeated clicking in games has started to kill my mouse.
It can’t hold a click properly anymore.
This is really annoying when clicking and dragging to select long pieces of text for scheduling chapters.
Yes I could copy all but then I’d get the annoying formatting with the chapter title and word count and such.
So today I learned that Dark Forest Theory isn’t some game theory or sociology concept but in fact the creation of a science fiction author from China.
Well it’s not too surprising, since I first read it in a Chinese web novel, where they probably poached the concept, but it came as a surprise.
Dark Forest Theory is actually rather interesting, if not bleak, and the exact opposite of all my hopes and aspirations for the future.
Well I doubt I’ll be able to see how things turn out anyway, so best of luck future generations.
I started watching The Grand Tour recently with my family.
Man is it hilarious.
I used to love this trio on Top Gear and I’m really glad that Grand Tour eventually worked out, it’s basically become a best of both worlds.
The first season is a bit iffy but when they start to just follow the challenge format that they did for Top Gear specials it’s a spectacle of joy.
Even though the staging is a little more obvious for some parts, the comedy is still top tier.
There were so many editor and translator comments this chapter it was insane!
I got dizzy just trying to remember which ones I had copied over properly and which ones I hadn’t!
Or maybe that was just because I was multitasking a game in the background?
I’m sorry guys! This chapter is unedited because we forgot to account for Christmas releases!
A lot of things have been hectic over at the site, and I haven’t had time to calm down after Christmas courtesy of living with my family.
Anyway things should return to normal soon hopefully, just sit tight and overlook the glaring mistakes.
Sorry if the quality dips a bit, translating and editing is a time consuming process and we all have lives.
