Humans of the internet.
Use your psychic powers to remind me to wake up early tomorrow.
I have an important delivery and nobody will be home to accept it but me.
I have to send off a copy of my CV after this.
I really need to update it to actually look nice but to do that I’d need an updated copy of microsoft word.
And like hell I am going to pay for their new versions with the weird subscriptions and tiers they have.
I miss the days of being able to just buy a piece of software.
The world has improved in many errors but this isn’t one.
Recently the J-Novel Club discord added an out-of-context channel.
And some of the light novel/manga/anime content in it is a goldmine for comedy.
I think it might be my new favourite channel to drop in for things that aren’t memes to send to people randomly.
Started talking about Heavy Object on a friend discord today and now I have the urge to reread.
I still remember the vast majority of the novels but there are a few I can’t recall, I should definitely reread the finale again though.
It does really bug me that Heavy Object took a kind of episodic format, I think I would have liked it more if it had one more consistent narrative.
Well I understand that it was an experimental side project for the author though.
But the ship only barely sailed!
This month is light novel month.
I have two light novels on preorder that release in the coming few days.
And there’s probably more I haven’t preordered I will have to check the releases for.
Looking forward to more Otome Mob next month too.
Also Pikmin 4 died in a fire. Really sad about that.
I got hardcore distracted while doing the editing for these chapters like.
Insanely long.
It took me several hours to do what I should be able to in not several hours.
I wonder what was with me today.
Anyway editing done, time to sleep.
Peace!
Don’t ask me why but I did all the editing tonight listening to the battle Mirai theme from Zipang.
I really don’t know why.
I just wanted some background noise and ended up on this.
It’s a very catchy tune though, even though I saw Zipang years ago I still remember significant parts of it.
Good anime, good manga too, only a few parts bothered me but no story is ever perfect.
Well apparently the author neglected to mention it last chapter and I didn’t realise it.
But we are now starting a new volume!
Yes this is Chapter 1 of Volume 6 – Izumo!
Seems like the entire next hundred or so chapters will be focused on Izumo.
Let’s see what lies in wait for us.
Well the sad news is that my contract was in fact not renewed.
I rejoin the ranks of the unemployed.
Kind of sucks but reality is what it is, such is life.
Sad that I won’t be able to spam commissions with all the extra money for a while though.
Just a return to normalcy from half a year ago though.
I really need to find a novel like
“Since I’ve reincarnated I’ll develop magitek and take on even the gods of this world!”
Okay I deliberately exaggerated the title a bit.
But I really want a technology gap series like Magi Craft Meister again or something, just with a more kingdom buildy aspect.
Maybe I’ll just reread magi craft though.
It was building up to some elements when I dropped it.
Since J-Novel now published all of Sol Press’ lost catalogue of novel translations I decided to pick up VRMMO Academy.
I can say that it is….
Well it’s not bad?
It’s a thing?
It does what it wants to do well.
Which is be a gimmicky VRMMO novel with a vaguely school setting.
Well I made a lot of progress on Genshin today.
I think the only stuff left for me to do in Sumeru is the event content and the general exploration.
By general exploration I just mean combing over the map for everything interactable.
That means the occuli, chests, puzzles and so forth.
I’ve done every quest I can find, and I’m sure a few have hidden triggers I will hit while doing that exploration.
Well I will take it slow from here on out, just need to stream it for the creator program.
