I feel like my fingers are about to freeze off, in my own room no less.
I guess this is what happens when your window gets stuck in Vent mode because the hinge is unaligned…
Such is my misfortune.
I even turned my radiator on the highest setting I have ever had it today!
Goes to show how cold it is this winter…
It’s actually below freezing right now.
You know how fictional nations sometimes have some of the best patriotic music?
Some franchises that immediately come to mind:
Final Fantasy
Ace Combat
Space Battleship Yamato
Arknights
…
You get the idea…
I suppose it’s because they’re new anthems they can make them more suited for modern audiences, as opposed to our historical hand-me-down ones that tend to be rather dull?
I can summarise today as “The Mysterious Case of the Sneezing Curse”.
Yes.
I have been sneezing like clockwork today.
It’s extremely strange.
I don’t think I have a cold, considering I just recovered from an illness over Christmas…
Maybe there’s some dust in my room because I haven’t opened my window this winter so far?
Seems most likely!
Me double checking all my clocks and alarms because I have to return to normal society after being freed from it by Christmas.
The worst part of the year is when it starts…
It’s all downhill from there but at least you can enjoy it burning around you.
The worst part is definitely the start.
I didn’t realise that The Daily Life of the Immortal King was in the middle of another season.
I need to make some time to catch up tomorrow.
I only noticed when I saw a youtube short thumbnail with it on while scrolling by, then belated registered what it was.
It’s harder to keep track of Chinese releases for things.
Kind of funny how I am more excited to see that then I am to see SoLevel.
Yes, that’s my new shorthand for it, I just decided.
Lots of New Year announcements being made.
New Nasuverse animation.
Irregular at Magic High got another animation announcement.
Looks like 2024 might be another heavy hitting year.
I spent most of today trying to catch up with Project Neural Cloud’s events that I wasn’t able to focus on while sick.
I don’t think I will be able to complete the entire reward track for the Christmas event because of this delay, which kind of sucks.
Luckily the character event for Undine was really easy to get the last few unclaimed rewards from.
Well, I have a week left.
I guess I can focus on the Blue Archive event I’ve been half doing now.
Pretty sure I just have the story left on that though.
This is the last of the sudden extra batch!
I hope everyone has a Happy New Year, I look forward to what disasters (natural or otherwise) will be thrown at humanity in 2024!
As for everyone already suffering through a disaster, don’t worry, I’m sure whatever comes next will make this trivial in hindsight.
Hahaha.
I was checking my wishlist and saw a game on there called City of Atlantis.
Apparently it’s been announced for almost two years now but no sign of a release date…
When I think about game development it scares me really.
Imagine having to pay for a team and their equipment for multiple years before even getting income!
No wonder indie devs ended up being eaten by the Epic Store for that extra cash.
Apparently a few bits of this chapter weren’t translated entirely accurately.
That’s not to say they were translated badly… uh I don’t know how to phrase it.
Anyway, if some stuff seems a bit off it might be because of that.
It was touched up though, so, hopefully we got it all!
My craving for scifi has grown a lot lately that I was actually tempted to try writing something.
I was reminded of that web novel about being reincarnated as a spaceship and thought it would be interesting to do the same.
But in the more “Vending Machine” style.
Someone being reincarnated as a small spaceship and then acquiring points to upgrade themselves over time or something?
Hm, I wonder if that would be interesting.
Alternatively being a flagship is good…
So uh.
Apparently you get 5 chapters today!
I didn’t realise this…
So enjoy your special extra set!
I guess we can call this a New Year + 1000 chapter celebration!
Once again today I had to edit with the textbox only displaying on half the screen…
Or not!
Haha, I actually remembered being told how to resolve this this time!
This this… English is wild sometimes.
Anyway, I did the trick to make the box return to its full size and all is right with the world.
Here’s Chapter 1001.
I look forward to Chapter 1111 now… and 1234…
One thousand chapters of maidening.
It’s been a really long journey, and we’re still only part way through… how do Chinese authors keep this up? Well the majority don’t but…
No I won’t get into complaining about things while celebrating, bad Robinxen.
Anyway, I really wanted to do something fun for this milestone but with Christmas keeping me so busy and then me falling sick I didn’t have time to prepare something fitting.
We have however now very graciously reached the quadruple digit range of chapters, and I doubt we will be seeing any other digits added in this lifetime.
Do let me know if there is a proper web novel out there that managed to exceed 9999 chapters though.
Hello readers, a recovering Robinxen here.
Wow, 999 chapters.
Uh.
I will try to think of something to do for celebrating 1000 chapters tomorrow, if I am not dying.
At least I don’t feel dead anymore.
