That idea isn’t bad. Core plot is good. But the execution and harem/fan service kills it.

Its a slop/trashy/generic anime. (Manga reader)

I’m gonna watch it since we all enjoy junk food now and again.

All of you

A blog post recount of content deleted from reddit several years ago…

Good read though. New to me.

I’ll hook my PC back up to test again this weekend and update. Redoing my office. Thanks in advance for your time.

Now I want to play with a microscope…

It blew my mind when I found out how real wind sails worked.

You don’t want the wind directly behind you. You’re limited by the speed of the wind that way.

You want to ride the wind diagonally. 5his way you can go faster than the wind.

Source: Valhiem. Haha.

This literally happened to me today.

I like this. No bullshit + CYA.

Only issue is someone stealing work to sell but there are other licenses for that.

Even if you go full privacy focused with a locked down phone and a dumb car flock cameras are tracking your plate, scanners are tracking the tire sensors in your wheels and phones need IMEI tower connections so all that is logged.

Just use omegle…

Modding Skyrim is one of my favorite games.

Load game. Load mods. Break game. Repeat until pretty. Finish 10 hours later. Play for 2 hours and drop game.

You know, like, “Ugh, what am I even doing. Is anyone even going to enjoy this?”

YES! It’s off to a great start. As an overworked office person I relate to the MC. In the scope of a JP novel the MC is from a black company so that fits the standard rubric as well.

Title is WIP.

Title seems fine to me. I’m used to the far too literal JP novel titles so this is a nice change. We haven’t hit the “problems” yet to see where it fits.

I’m starting to get those nagging brainworms.

Thoughts/Advice from a amateur writer. I used to write stories for fun over a decade ago. I was even tempted to start writing and posting to Amazon before the boom really hit. I might’ve made it big before the market got saturated after COVID and even worse now after AI slop is everywhere. My focus was fantasy and supernatural writing.

I have a few thoughts on this.

Are you writing a Webnovel, LightNovel or a Novel/Book?

It looks like you’re writing a LN first instead of a WN. Writing a book/novel is quite different from writing a WN.

I define a Webnovel as a story written chapter by chapter and released as such. This can be seen as a sort of first draft of a novel in my eyes. A LightNovel is a polished webnovel released as a volume. Edited to it’s final form. Things can get added or removed at this point. Plot points can be fixed. Writing quality can be adjusted.
A Novel or Book is written as such from beginning to end and released all at once.

It seems to be you’re aiming to write a LightNovel/Novel from the beginning. This isn’t a bad thing in any way, but I’d recommend shifting your perspective to writing a web novel. This isn’t the final form of the story. You’re mainly getting your ideas down and fleshing out the parts that feel fit.

If/when you get writers block (we all do) I’d recommend using the corkboard to flesh out plot points and events you want to happen and arrange them in order. This can give you a “to do list” of things to write out. If you get stuck writing out a scene just work on a different one.

I’ll post my thoughts on the story when I have time at a computer again. I’d like to reread the story so it’s fresh in my mind.

Can you also share an epub? I got formatting issues on my reader with PDFs.

I started reading a bit. I like the status window.

Notes: Tastes mildly of citrus.

Edit: just finished it. Didn’t realize it wasnt a volume. I’ll post my thoughts soon. EPubs are still nice for sharing IMO.

<Blade Skill Online: Crushing the Competition with My Abysmal Stats, Useless Class, and Garbage Weapon!>

The MC is bullied meathead boy that gets gender bended into a hot girl character after hitting random.

Why did I read this? Why did I finish it?

I think I mainly enjoyed the underdog story of a MMO player trying to make a broken build work. The AI running the game automatically and basically bugging out. Game mechanics are combined in odd ways to make a functional build and become OP. Then Devs react. Patch notes and all. The community reactions to the dumb build actually working.

Ending was pretty decent I’d say.

<The Alchemist Who Survived Now Dreams of a Quiet City Life> Volumes 1-6

Finally not an isekai. MC has zero combat ability. If you enjoy crafting themed stories this is a good one. I enjoyed the characters and world building. Solid ending too.

<From Villainess to Healer> Volumes 1-6

Its a female hardcore gamer that gets pulled into the world of the MMO.

She uses her knowledge to become an adventurer, switch classes to a healer, become powerful (mainly pure support) and travel the world.

What’s interesting in game based isekai are how game systems are implemented and how accurate the world is to the game with NPCs/Events.

Seems like the status screen, quests and events exist for everyone but no one understands all the pieces. So people have professions like warrior and mage but no concept of proper builds. Ommiting extra spoilers here.

Then comes a hardcore gamer…

FUNA?

<I shall survive using potions>

Female protagonist. I’m pretty sick of the mainstream shonen power isekai so I’m jumping around female protagonist stories. Asendance of a bookworm was such a joy.

Starts as a granted power isekai. OP just wants a slow life but gets a power to make potions in a world with basically no magic so she’s chased for her healing potions.

Best part is the MC isn’t some scared timid little girl. She’s fairly smart and gets revenge on people who try to take advantage of her. At the same time she chose potion creation as her power because she wants to help people.

Then she tries to sneakily help people which causes nobles/merchants to hunt her down. It’s a vicious cycle and quite entertaining.

Finished volume 11. They went through a time skip and got a bit of a reset on her being chased for her potions. But once again she can’t live staying under the radar and almost immediately starts getting hunted for potions / money.

I managed to get real lucky getting my cloud architect job without a bachelors.

The trade off was loads of work experience in the exact field a job needed and a recommendation from someone on the project.

I still broke six figures before that job offer without the job recommendation. That was from job hopping for 3 years.

Gotta keep your resume up to date and literally keep applying. Got a new job? Update resume with new gig and keep applying.

Now I’m happy where I’m at. Fantastic work culture and comfortable salary. Can I make more? Maybe but my work life balance is good and I can pay my bills/save money.
