Just sped through you're Shaman!Harry Potter story, and enjoyed it immensely. Do you have any intentions of continuing it?

I was wondering if the Naruto self insert harem isekai fic was dead or not?

As I've said to others, no it's not on hiatus, it and all of my other stories except my Legion story are still ongoing, I just don't have as much time to write as much anymore due to irl reasons.

A new chapter for the fic you're wondering about is about 80-90% done so far as far as content goes though so that could be out relatively soonish.

Hey Guldsdone, do you have any recs on magecraft for type moon?

I wanted to know where you got some ideas in the Welf SI.

Here is the main source I use when it comes to Magecraft, it is not a fic but informative: Lessons in Magecraft

For fics, I don't have any specific fic that stuck with me but here is one that I had found interesting: Fate/Doom

In terms of options, some plan quests give you very specific things you can do. In Cultivation Quest and my own for that matter, it's very much a sandbox for players to make up their own plans in. Players can do whatever they want, so in a sense there's infinite options, but because they aren't presented to players it can seem like there aren't many.
Ranmabomb
Yeah, sandboxes are cool. One of my favorite part of plan quests, Is where there are really interesting trade-offs and teased content.

It's more about how good your plothooks are, and then how well you deliver on them.
Ranmabomb
The tentacle monster cult was a cool idea, but like the implementation was underwhelming.
the only character that really stood out was the maid. But abstraction is hard. Most of mine have leaned towards being too zoomed in and not enough happening. Although, in general org quests tend to suffer from the opposite more often.

I understand if you're sick of getting asked about it, but is The Game Must Go On discontinued?
I asked like 7 months ago after having re-read the story and since I'm thinking of re-reading it again and you only liked my post without responding to it at all, I thought I'd try asking one last time.
Sorry if this comes across as rude at all I just genuinely love the story and want to know what's going on.

It's just gotten a new chapter on his Patreon and apparently he runs a less than well publicized vote on his discord to decide which story to write for next and it just finally won a round of voting after 2 years of not doing so ... or so I understand

Hot Damn, fair enough, thanks for both the heads up and the explanation, didn't know about any vote and just thought he had a release schedule/ released things as he felt like writing them.
ChiChi
I wasn't aware of the vote either till I saw the author's note at the bottom of the new chapter as I was looking for the previous chapter hence why I called it less than well publicized
Please could you not delete A Game of Bimbos, many if us loved it and would like to see it preserved

You're really new to the site so I thought I'd let you know you should review QQ's rules regarding thread necromancy. People will get mad and mods do lock threads over it. Requesting a thread unlock for a story you write isn't hard, but it is another step in the way of getting a new chapter out which is no bueno.

I like your stories but I gotta ask, why do you keep putting the periods in sentences after the quotation marks ends? Surely someone must've told you that doing that is grammatically incorrect by now, right?
d.fish
These regret themed short love stories are so repetitive and boring, like in every single one of them, MC always breaks it off completely to leave the other person in such regret that they never love again for the rest of their lives, like not a single one is where they both grow as people and get back together... it's like a reflection of how childish these writers and their readers are collectively

I feel like the anime version of Fairy Tail, and perhaps the series as a whole, was limited by the animation technologies of the time, but it might also be because the budget wasn't that high either. I just think that unlike a lot of shonen anime of that era, maybe this one would have had a different effect than "that looks like shit"

Like, you know, anime of that era was still all hand drawn, but it's really rough, so the line art usually can't stand up to scrutiny, and the colors are always too overly vibrant rather than "true colors", action is choppy... but what I mean is outside of these inevitable flaws, this anime is so shit

I mean, yeah, the story is shit too, but it's pretty creative over all, you know, turning into dragons, traveling to alternate worlds, magic cannons, etc. etc. especially compared to the following generation of shonen that becomes "isekai to generic not-dragon quest world".

I just mean, modern tech could have a greater effect on it than on, idk, bleach or whatever

Why do these apocalypse shelter-building stories have a "no heroine" tag, like what the fuck are you gonna do in your little hobbit hole, play playstation box? Bleh!
d.fish
It feels like there ought to be like a "all devices factory reset" button for, like, all your devices, like if you isekai, you don't want someone to flip through your phone or computer and find something, right? It's like "dying with dignity" but "isekai with dignity"... so from this point of view, those truck drivers are really impolite and inconsiderate, since they don't even give you time to wipe your hard drive

So the books on Amazon how does that work?
If we buy them how much do you get vs us giving you money on patron or something.?

Just curious

Hey, thank you very much for asking! The hard numbers are that I get 70% from the sales on Amazon (plus higher visibility for other potential buyers), but from a reader's perspective, it's a much better deal to get on Patreon, as all the current originals are available there at the €3 tier and above--Patreon also gets about 20% of my income, so less than Amazon. Honestly, I am always very grateful no matter what.

I wanted to, but I've been going through a lot of shit IRL, and then I ended up opening a Patreon so when I'm a bit better I'll focus on writing what I already said I would before I focus on anything else.

>-Do other characters lack priorities unrelated to the subject? (+3)
>--Exacerbating factor: Really? No unrelated priorities at all? None whatsoever? (YES. THIS IS A SUE. TEST OVER.)

I think the exacerbating factor here is overbroad. If there are multiple such characters, without an obvious reason like mind control, sure.
magic9mushroom
magic9mushroom
But creating a waifu-tulpa (as e.g. the main character of Chaos;Head does) does not make a character a Sue (just insane), and I'd argue that considering all targets of sufficiently-extreme yandere to be automatically Sues is also not really correct (I wouldn't consider Itoshiki Nozumu a Sue because of Tsunetsuki Matoi, for instance).
We Just Write

T: The query is meant to be interpreted as every character lacking priorities unrelated to the subject.
magic9mushroom

Okay, yes, in that case I think the only way to get a non-Sue is to have literally only one character in the work, which is so hilariously rare as to be a reasonable omission (though I suppose pure "all just a dream" works technically qualify).
