Strategem & Stardom (Paripi Koumei)

A lot of genres seem to eventually get into a groove of sorts. Writers figure out what works and what doesn’t and they adjust their stories to fit the mold. That’s fine and will create many amazing stories. If I’m completely honest with you, that’s for sure what I’m doing with my own story, Hesitant … Continue reading Strategem & Stardom (Paripi Koumei) →

Finding the right health care providers

I know, I know, here I am talking about health care again, but it’s something that’s played a massive role in my life the past year. I’ve just had issue after issue and although I’m certainly thankful none of them have been dangerous or severe, it has been an onslaught of health issues. At this … Continue reading Finding the right health care providers →

Chapter Twenty-Four – The Elven Blacksmith

This wasn’t Cobal’s first time in a smithy, but the ones he used to visit in the capital catered to the rich and always looked very well kept. This place was an utter and absolute mess. There were unfinished and finished weapons strewn about the floor and occupying several tables. There was a barrel with … Continue reading Chapter Twenty-Four – The Elven Blacksmith →

Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun – Episode 1

My oh my it’s here and I still don’t know how to feel about it. I recently finished this arc of Made in Abyss in the manga, seeing that the English volumes are a little bit behind the Japanese ones for obvious reasons. I think Made in Abyss might be the only manga I’ve ever … Continue reading Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun – Episode 1 →

Quick Reviews: Deaimon, Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road & Love after world domination

The art of the storyteller

I’ve talked on here a few times about storytelling. It’s my favorite thing after all. I think that stories are something magical. It’s an artform just like music, painting and even modern things like video and digital art. There are obviously many artforms out there because there are many different kinds of people. For me … Continue reading The art of the storyteller →

Quick Reviews – Sequel edition: Kaguya-sama, Bookworm & Shield Hero

Whenever I do (quick) reviews I tend to exclude sequels. Mainly because most people have either chosen to watch or not watch the original of the series. This time around I had an opinion on three sequels this season that I wanted to get out, so I figured I’d combine them. I’ll try and avoid … Continue reading Quick Reviews – Sequel edition: Kaguya-sama, Bookworm & Shield Hero →
