Volume 2 is probably my least good one of out the four drafts I’ve written up. I don’t want to be too negative about something I made myself, but I feel like it lacks a proper throughline and doesn’t really do much. It’s kind of like the second book in a trilogy where not much … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero Volume 2 Recap

One Piece Volume 97
The raid on Onigashima has started and with that the final act of Wano is underway. It’s a long act with lots of fighting and action, so let’s take this opportunity to approach this recap a little differently. Instead of going through everything like we normally do, let’s do a sped up version and then … Continue reading One Piece Volume 97
The Hesitant Hero Volume 1 – Recap
Although the Hesitant Hero was originally a side project while I tried to figure out some of the plot points of my main story, it quickly developed into the biggest writing project I’ve ever attempted. As of December 2025 there are rough drafts of four volumes written, totalling well over 250.000 words. A lot of … Continue reading The Hesitant Hero Volume 1 – Recap

One Piece Volume 95
Yes I forgot to post it yesterday but in my defense it's Christmas. Happy Holidays! While the samurai, minks, ninja and pirates are all preparing their raid on Onigashima, Kaido is busy doing preparations of his own. There’s the yearly festival and all of his soldiers are returning to celebrate. And to make things even … Continue reading One Piece Volume 95

Cozy up by the fire with a hot drink as we recap this week’s One Piece volume. When Kaido, Caesar … Continue reading One Piece Volume 94
One Piece Volume 93
Whenever Oda isn’t doing a cover story at the start of each chapter, he does requests from the audience. They’re often a little bit weird and regularly involve animals. But someone requesting a picture of “goats eating letters written by Caesar Clown”??? What kind of strange mind came up with that? I just want to … Continue reading One Piece Volume 93
One Piece Volume 92
Wano has been structured like a three act play, and in volume 92 we reach the end of the first act. The crew finished their conversation about the past on top of the mountain where Oden Castle stood. I’m saying ‘stood’ because within a handful of chapters, Kaido demolishes the entire building and mountaintop in … Continue reading One Piece Volume 92
One Piece Volume 91
We’re here in the wonderful land of Wano and things are already weird. Giant animals are fighting each other, children are being kidnapped and there’s even a man dressed as tengu. Luffy finds himself with Tama and her guardian, who are waiting for the return of a certain Portgas D. Ace. We also see Basil … Continue reading One Piece Volume 91
One Piece Volume 90 (Start of Wano)
After a little break we’re finally diving into a long awaited arc of One Piece. When we first realized we were going to Wano we were all so excited and I think the detour to Whole Cake Island felt kind of less impactful because of it. Wano and Elbaph were the two major arcs we … Continue reading One Piece Volume 90 (Start of Wano)
