    I doubt I'll use a Celestial X gimmick again, although never say never. This one was fun but ultimately came with a bunch of problems that I think can be better avoided by not incorporating that degree of randomness. The new story I'm working on is a Wormfic where a jumper and companions go to...

    Yeah, the Celestial Grimoire mechanic just lent itself to breakneck pacing if you actually engage with it fully, and that's certainly fun, it was satisfying to write all that stuff being taken and spread around by someone who didn't have a master uplift plan but was just playing the random cards...

    It is indeed over, I can only apologise if you found it underwhelming. Having to go into non-canon territory coupled with it being past the point anything could meaningfully challenge Ichiban's party saps away some of the potential difficulty to surmount, and the lack of personal investment also...

    They'd made it down to the tenth floor in good time even if Pearl was kind of slow compared to the other three of them. It would probably get even slower when Yankimaru was out, but it wasn't like they needed to run and Ichiban was interested in giving the upgraded robot a proper test drive...

    Next chapter's already been written and it's very definitely the final one.

    Of course heart-warming group photographs are all well and good, but as soon as that was done people were naturally curious about the fact he'd just cloned himself. "What was that?! You did the hand thing, like you talked about for chakra, was that a technique anyone can do?!" Rina asked...

    She has actually appeared twice! Once she was with the adventuring party that Ichiban walked past on his first Dungeon trip when the lion cloak appeared on him, and then she was the one getting chakra when he got the bow he gave to Naaza. The value of a supporter is going to go way up when they...

    I've only just started Judgment and then had to stop partway for Pirate Majima. Kaito's really fun but I'm not sure Yagami's interesting enough to write about. Though I am planning something involving Majima and Worm after I finish Like a Dungeon Crawler, though it'll involve a few other...

    Whooosh! The teleport deposited the full squad in front of Babel like usual, and Orario wasn't burning down nor was everyone running around like a headless chicken. It was mid-afternoon, when most adventurers would still be down in the Dungeon, and the plaza around Babel was filled more with...

    I genuinely can't think of anything. The Demi Spirit on floor 59 is basically Pearl but without chakra/final fantasy spells, and while it can absolutely regenerate a lot of stuff it's still gonna die from a good hit to the magic stone like that, or just a body evaporating hit (we saw Ottar...

    "I still can't get over what she said back there." "Huh?" Ichiban glanced over at Rina. The group were making their way down into the Dungeon, finding it surprisingly quiet. No monsters had spawned on them, nor had they seen any while traversing the first few floors. It felt like the Dungeon...

    Yeah, I'm kind of glad the undead raising spells have that timer on them, it makes them feel a lot less problematic. Though I did toy with the idea of adding an undead hero to the party, bringing back someone like Alise or Alfia would surely have consequences, but once you start doing that...

    Two new announcements stood on the Guild notice-board, which Ichiban could actually read now. One boasted a photograph of Rina, with some clever forced perspective of her posing with her axe that showed they were really getting the hang of photography over in the Entertainment District. The...

    That's the best part of the premise. Bell goes into Orario with this fantasy of saving a cute girl from a scary monster in the Dungeon and then he becomes the cute boy who gets saved from a scary monster and it forever changes the trajectory of his life.

    Tsubaki felt like she was being pulled in too many directions. As a smith it was exhilarating, having so many ideas, so many sources of inspiration, but as a flesh and blood woman with only two hands it was frustrating as hell. The metal that giant robot had been made out of was an interesting...
