Do you think now that the kuro anniversary is over manga will start speeding up again hopefully?

Story speeding up now?

Ah, an easy one.

Nope.

Because I don't think it ever had much to do with the 15th anniversary. It's not even much to do with Yana-san's other obligations, like Twisted Wonderland. Because this issue started before then.

Other obligations have an effect on how much time she can physically devote to the series, true, but they shouldn't affect the pace too much. She could do slightly shorter chapters than before (pre-Blue Sect) and maybe skip some side story content and, therefore, cover more ground on the main story per chapter. She could even write these very short chapters and skip a lot of extra stuff to rush to the end. That's what someone might do, if they were "over" the series (and wanted to focus on other projects) but were still determined to finish it. Another way to accomplish that but not lose too much story would be to work even harder to push out long chapters and cover everything that "needs" to be said in as few chapters as possible, ending the series as soon as possible to devote all time and effort to other things. But that's not what's happening. None of that.

No, this is mostly about GFantasy telling her to write shorter chapters, which she tweeted about when the Blue Sect arc started -- she tweeted that they implemented a lower page limit on the series -- and possibly "suggesting" that she slow down the pace of the storytelling, too... though I'm sure she wants to cover as much story as she can, anyway. I see it as a hint from her that the story's timeline is approaching its end... that this Blue Sect "super-arc" is the last true arc of the series.

Manga publications like GFantasy usually announce either the last arc (if it's short) or the last twelve chapters (if it's part of a long arc) of a series. This series is a HUGE readership draw for GFantasy. They want to keep those sweet, sweet sales numbers, and they have no idea how a new, replacement series will fare. Likely, they will experience a massive drop in the readership, and it will take a while for the other series (even with a new one to fill the slot) in the monthly publication to make up for the loss.

Since this arc is being drawn-out into all these mini-arcs (the assignments, etc.), we should see the "nearing the end" notification at the start of either the last of these mini-arcs or at the start of the last 12 months of chapter publication... whichever is shorter, probably. If the last mini-arc is just a little over 12 chapters, we might get a "last arc" notification quickly followed by a "last 12 chapters" notification.

Chapter 7 + Ash Hangout Public Update is now live! 🎉

The Chapter 7 and Ash Hangout update is finally here 🔥😁 I'm sorry for the slight delay, I had something urgent to attend to today and I just got home and I just basically went straight to my computer to upload this update.

Finally, we are starting to get into the ROs' first hangout sessions. Of course, to start us off, we'll have Ash's hangout session 😁This update adds around 31K of new words, bringing the total word count so far to around 356,701K words!

Anyway, this update also brings quite a lot of changes in the coding, especially for the skip chapter function, so I'm going to strongly suggest you guys play with clean save, either from the beginning or using the skip chapter function.

I have recently added another skip-chapter checkpoint, which is Chapter 3 in addition to the already existing one on Chapter 6. There is also now an autosave function at the beginning of every chapter starting on Chapter 2, so you'll be able to replay any chapter you're currently reading and try out different options in that chapter.

Anyway, enough of the technicalities.

Here's what you can expect in this update:

The set up to the ROs'  first hangout sessions

Ash's first hangout session

Go down the memory lane and see snippets of MC's most cherished memories.

Some more Viktor 😔

A mix of angst, wholesome, and even potential fluff 🤭

🔥🧡😉

Ash/Rin poly route is not yet ready for this hangout and it's still work-in-progress 🙏

New stuff added to previous chapters:

Added autosave/reload function for Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, and Chapter 5.

Added another skip-chapter point to Chapter 3, in addition to the already existing Chapter 6.

Also, little news that I'm going to make a post of tomorrow, I'm about to open both the Side Story and Spicy Side Story ideas and suggestions for this month on both Patreon and Ko-Fi, so if you're interested in supporting me while also getting some exclusive stuff, please do consider checking out my pages and subscribing 💖

I hope you guys enjoy the update! Oh, and also, feel free to send asks about the new update, but I'll probably hold off on answering them until a few days have passed to make sure a lot of readers already have the chance to check out the update and not accidentally spoil them 😊

The major scenes of Chapter Eight are currently included in the demo. Chapter Eight Word Count: approximately 139 663 words. Total Word Count: approximately 585 173 words.

Chapter Eight is the last chapter of the public demo. Future chapters, including the epilogue, will be shared only with my Patrons until the game is released.

While this is the final chapter of the public demo, I will still be very active on Tumblr so feel free to ask any questions and look out for previews and updates.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the past year! I would never have come this far without any of you. Here's to a wonderful 2024 together ❤️️

I need financial compensation for the second hand embarrassment that fourth installmemt of the competitive skk comic has given me.

I mean thank you, but AAAAAAAAGHGAGHHH. I had to reread it so many times.

I am very sorry about the public dumbassery of skk in that comic alskdjfjf — as recompense, might I offer a buff Chuuya? (I found an anatomy ref book at a used bookstore last week, so I’m practicing muscles!)

(Bonus flustered creature Dazai)

(Also, if it is any consolation — in the next parts of the comic, skk will be embarrassing together in private instead XD)

#one of my best friends (who suffered greatly when she read the 19th howl AU chapter) got to the end and said ‘GOOD they SHOULD be scolded!’ #it was wonderful #I think if she could bonk them both for their public indecency she would #ask box #my art #bsd #bsd chuuya #bungou stray dogs #bsd dazai #soukoku #skk

Episode 4: The Butler, Colluding

Chapter 122: The Butler, Lying in Wait

Honestly, this is S’ favourite move. The anime is reminding us of the things to come. Slowly, they are showing us how he is adept on everything combat.

Not so many people didn’t appreciate that the anime writer changed the manga with S helping Ciel using his devil prowess, but I do think that it made sense that Ciel, though older, might not be that powerful to throw a lamp that far and hitting the target excellently.

bugs in a bath. what will they do (tenderly soothe each other's hurts)

you know the drill by now. go go go read that makes two of us, then by @queruloustea. i am very gently and politely but very firmly steering you towards ao3.

#hollow knight #quirrel #quirrelhollow #the hollow knight #thk #lorne art #such a good chapter. absolutely obsessed. hollow's little mannerisms and slow-growing acceptance of their Wants #quirrel not knowing quite how to handle being Looked After #the little chin kiss. immaculate #the only thing that kept me from lying down on the floor after reading was 1. the fact that i was in public when i read and #2. the immediate overwhelming urge to make fanart that always grips me on update days #no time for floor emotions. there are bugs to draw #anyway. quirrel is so squishable. round little fellow #hopefully still recognizable

Getting told by MC of all people that no one likes snitches must be (on some level) terrifying due to their (potential) reputation if it weren't played off

Like imagine the literal HERO of the Haven telling you no one likes snitches

Trouble walking past MC and overhearing them telling their recruit that no one likes snitches: 🤔❓

Trouble remembering that he definitely watched MC beat and loot a kidnapper half to death and neither of them ever told anybody the full details:

my personal pipe dream is that one monday the egg statistics drop and flippa (and maybe tilin) are just there. at the end. with one heart, and one gray checkmark.

what i imagine is the server flips their shit. alive!!! alive!!! but they log in and they don't see the eggs. instead they get a message. i do not care who it's from or how it's delivered. they're told the eggs are being held captive somewhere, but they're alive. all that's left is to find them, before sunday at midnight pst. bc if their tasks aren't done, they die (one checkmark, one quest set. once rescued they become triple check like the other eggs)

slimeriana come CRASHING back into the server, they don't know jack shit, ESPECIALLY mariana who doesn't recognize 90% of the island anymore but holy fuck, flippa is alive somewhere and they have to find her. and maybe mariana's still in the old server days mindset of raising his kid alone but slime's slowly been indoctrinated into "it takes a village" and honestly the absolute second mariana logs on, someone's gonna be in chat already like HEY MARIANA CAN I TALK TO YOU? be it baghera or cellbit or forever or bad or I DON'T KNOW, COULD GENUINELY BE ANYONE LMAO but like mystery and eggs in danger is chumming the water for this server

which is great bc A) mariana has a concrete goal for logging into the server (finding his daughter) and B) he would be interacting with the rest of the server along the way, because he's not going to be doing this alone (he wouldn't even be allowed lmfao the rest of the server would be at his doorstep asking to help him in like 15 seconds flat) which means C) he might get reasons to log in extending outside flippa and slime. bingooooo

i call this a pipe dream bc i can poke so many holes in this even rn (does cc!mariana want flippa back, like fr? i'm not up to date) but can you IMAGINE. LIKE DAMN. i'm putting this idea into the public domain fr go nuts with it.

#qsmp #would not mind if that means the revival is a slow burn #(bc of admin team having to prep the mystery and/or adventure) #that would just be a bonus tbh bc it means that the admins would be given more time to fit it into their plans #bc i imagine the story would be harder to alter for the immediate future #but their plans down the line might be more malleable and thus could fit the potentially weeklong mystery into them #this is my pipe dream though i have worms in my brain and they've been screaming flippa since the bug was discovered #i'm not gonna cry in a gutter if it doesn't happen lmfao #qsmp juanaflippa #qsmp elmariana #shut up vic #block game brainrot #submitting this for peer review maybe if i'm lucky the admins will club penguin it #(read: take and run with the idea and pretend that was their plan all along) #either that or a really talented fic author will write and post like three chapters i'll accept that too #✨ ​this idea is now public domain go hogwild my loves ✨

One of my absolute favorite parts of the demo so far is when you’re dancing with Blade at the gala thing and you ask if what you’re doing is a mating ritual and Blade panics and is like “We’re not… peacocks” I feel bad for laughing at him but it’s so funny how awkward he gets 😂

Amazing military strategist and impressively intelligent leader... Brain turns to mush and static when mildly flirted with
