Sorry For Missing Last Week

Hello, readers. Sorry I didn’t post last week. I just got busy and kept putting it off. So, I decided to just do a double long post this week. It’s been a couple of slow weeks at work. I managed to deduce who got the position last Friday and I guess it makes sense because she is bilingual and has more contact with the other locations. However, this is the second time someone originally from that position has gotten the job over me. It’s kinda annoying.

Anyway, I’ve also been spending time reorganizing my Pokemon Home to make space for the Alphas from Z-A. I’ve used a data site to help me do so and now I have all the spaces I need for when it is able to connect. I also need to get rid of some photos from my phone because I have like 40 GBs of it and I’m like, how? It’s mostly because I don’t get rid of screenshots I don’t need anymore.

On to what I’ve been listening to, I finished In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 6 and that’s where I’ll stop this one as I don’t think I’ve read more than that. So I started Baccano! Vol 1 By Ryohgo Narita and Katsumi Enami. It’s an interesting series I actually found through the anime years ago.

It’s about alchemists who summoned a demon in the 1700s to make themselves immortal. Only the leader was given the recipe to make more immortals. He told part of it to his brother, only to decide there wouldn’t be any more immortals. The thing is that they could die by someone putting their right hand on the person’s head and ‘eating’ them, getting their knowledge. Another immortal ‘eats’ his brother instead of him and escapes. Go forward to the time of prohibition, the immortal is still trying to make the correct recipe. His people succeed, however a ‘not’ mafia gang and two oddball thieves accidentally gets involved and their might be another immortal involved. It’s fun and the other novels go to different time periods, including 2001 (excluding that the story is being told to someone in 2002).

It very interesting and has many different characters it follows. The anime is silly and jumps between different parts in the story to make it more interesting. It only has the one season, but there might be more eventually.

After I finished Baccano!, I started Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs vol 1 by Yomu Mishima. Yes, I did this because of Life’s a Pay to Win Game.  I’ve never read the light novels, just read the manga and seen the anime (along with fanfics I’ve read). Actually, I might have read the webnovel at some point, I think. I’ve already explained the base of this series, but this volume covers through a bit after the mecha fight with the five idiots (based on the chap titles).

Next, I finished with Amor Enim Vult and decided to listen to A Body Roll or Two by TheAmazingWadey. It’s a Miraculous Ladybug fic that I’ve mentioned before in the current quest, here. It’s set during their college years after Adrian left with his father to America. During the intervening years, Marinette has gotten in Bachata and goes into an audition. She succeeds and finds that recently returned Adrian is her partner. How will this go and will they ever reveal their identities? You can find out, but sadly it’s about one chapter short (I think, an epilogue would be good) and hasn’t been updated since 2017.

Following that, I finished Beyond the Outer Gate Lies and decided to listen to The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor by Heesung Nam. It’s a Korean webnovel that’s been translated online. The link will take you to the first chapter and you can read most of it there, but you’ll have to search out the rest online like I did. It’s about Lee Hyun, a 20-year-old orphan and a high school dropout. He just became an adult and was finally allowed to work legally. He decides to sell his old game account instead of deleting it. This makes news because he’s the highest player in the game. He gets over 3 billion won for it and starts to make things better for his sister and grandmother. However, the loan sharks that drove him to leave high school come for most of it because of his father’s debt. Hyun decides to train for a year with the money left over and then join the new VR game Royal Road to gain money that way. He’ll eventually become the Legendary Moonlight Sculptor (against his will) and have many adventures. It has 58 ‘volumes’ and is complete.

Finally, I also finished The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. I continued with Countdown to Destruction the first one-shot. I’ve mentioned it before here, but it’s the fanfic storyline of the end of Power Rangers In Space. After that it was Forever Red, the second one-shot. This one follows the crossover of the same name, in the Winged Lord storyline. However, Tommy and Kim’s daughter is kidnapped as part of it, and he doesn’t tell Kim. I’m sure you can see how that’ll end. Now I’m ready to read the sequel!

After I finished those, I decided to listen to Solidarity Among Students, Class 1-A Edition by Jetstream. This is a My Hero Academia fic told through chat-logs. After the elections, Eraserhead creates a class chat and the usual shenanigans happen. Relationships happen because of it (including homosexual ones [Don’t Like, Don’t Read]). The main ones are: Toru/Mashirao, Kyoka/Momo and Izuku/Ochaco(With maybe Tsuyu later). It’s fun with 33 chapters, but is sadly unfinished and hasn’t updated since 2021.

Onto the quest, first is Elemental Sky by sakurademonalchemist. This is a KHR and Naruto crossover that I’ve talked about before here. Basically Nana is sisters with Gaara and his siblings mother. Fem. Tsuna (Nozomi) learns of this when she’s ten and goes to visit them. She’s able to keep Shukaku calm and allow Gaara to sleep. She ends up going with the siblings to Konoha for the Chunin exams and changes things. It has 9 chapters and sadly hasn’t updated since 2018.

Second is Elimination by White Angel of Auralon. This is a Naruto AU one-shot set after Mizuki’s betrayal. Someone sets things up for three of the new graduates to die before the team announcements. They are Sakura, Sasuke and a random other graduate. This leads the Hokage to change the teams and Naruto ends up with two new characters. How will this change things?

Third is Elves by kb0. This is Harry Potter one-shot where the Potters had an elf. She follows Hagrid to the Dursleys and calls other elves to help free him from unwanted magics. This includes the Horcux. She takes him away and sets things up for the Horcuxes to be destroyed. Her actions even manage to accidentally free Sirius. It’s a fun little fic.

Fourth is Embracing Destiny by White Angel of Auralon. This one I talked about last post here. Fifth is Emerald Flight Book One: Union by megamatt09. This is a Harry Potter and Superman: The Animated Series crossover with Harry/Kara. Harry and Kara meet at Vegas after fifth year (though Sirius faked his death) and the end of the Superman series and get married. This has lots of consequences, but they’ll get through it together. [Content Warning] All three of this series are Mature fics with sex scenes like all of this author’s fics. [Content Warning]

Sixth is the sequel Emerald Flight Book Two: Conqueror by megamatt09. It’s been a year since they got married and Harry and Kara are dealing with a lot. However, Zod is on his way and the two add several other Karas to their relationship. Seventh is the final Emerald Flight Book Three: New Krypton by megamatt09. Harry and his Kara wives have dealt with Zod, but now Darkseid is back and they have to deal with him and whatever else comes. This is the last book in this series.

Eigth is Endothermic Reaction by ShamelessWhisper. This is a My Hero Academia AU. Izuku is born with a quirk, but it’s too powerful and can harm people if he makes a sound. After an accident after getting his quirk he’s worked to never speak. He gets into UA, but not everyone thinks he should be a hero. In fact, Tomura actively wants him on his side. However, Ochaco wants him to stay with her. What happens? We’re told, but the story is incomplete. The author didn’t want to write to rest and so just did a summary in the last ‘chapter’. Put this in here before the last chapter, lots of angst and not many happy things make me think I’ll probably delete this fic from my app.

Ninth and last is Energy Materialization by Layser_22. This is another MHA AU where Izuku has a quirk. However, that doesn’t mean he’s not an outlier anyway. In this universe, only women got quirks and men gradually stopped being born. Now there aren’t any men until Izuku is born. How will his life go as the only man in a world of superpowered women? It has 14 chapters and has been on extended hiatus since 2021.

So, hopefully the extended post helps make up for the missing one last week. Hope you have a great week! Next week’s post might be late as well because I’m going to the Go Tour at the Rose Bowl Stadium. I’ll be wearing an Instinct yellow shirt and hat. See you then and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Links Can Make You Late – 2026

Hello, readers. Sorry this is late, once again getting links has made me late. I have to sadly report that I didn’t get the position. Apparently, I made it into the top 5, but someone else was chosen. I don’t know who as it hasn’t been announced, but I really hope it’s someone from outside and not inside the company. Anyway, we’re busy now with an event coming up, so I’m putting off thinking about other things (maybe finding another job as I won’t leave until I have another job) until after that’s done.

I have a few changes in my listening list; first is that, on Audible, I finished Reborn as a Space Mercenary vol 13 and then read By the Grace of the Gods vol 8. Ryoma helps out at his friend’s wedding before heading home. However, he soon leaves to go help out another set of friend’s village. There he’ll have many interesting experiences, including his first negative interaction with a God. Read and find out how things go!

I also finished with that one and started In Another World with My Smartphone vol 6. Touya is searching for a part of Babylon that can help him fight the Phrase. However, things aren’t as easy as that. Especially when one of his friends comes to him begging to become his fiancée as well. Otherwise, she’ll might be engaged to a vile prince. How will he deal with this situation? Read and see!

I also finished My Heroic Drabbles by sakurademonalchemist and decided to read Beyond the Outer Gate Lies by gaberiel blessing. It’s a Harry Dresden and High School DxD crossover I’ve mentioned it before here. A Harry from the later books, ends up in the void battling the Those Who Came. He defeats them, but after escaping from Great Red, he ends up in Kouh de-aged to a teenager. His humor and interactions with the supernatural elements is hilarious after he gets used to the fact things are different from his world. This is complete and even has spin off fics from another author.

Forging Destiny by White Angel of Auralon is completed as well as it’s sequel – Embracing Destiny. This one is for Harry’s fourth year after the events of Forging Destiny. Sirius is free and Minister. He interferes and changes the tournament to make it more interesting. Now Harry is able to enter if he wants and be part of a team. How will it go and will Dumbles manage to get Harry back on his side? Find out part of it as the 17 chapters end in the middle of the second task. The author hasn’t been back to this one since 2017, even though they’ve written a lot after.

When I finished with that one I started Taking Control by fake a smile. It’s an after fifth year Harry Potter fic that I’ve mentioned before here. Sirius visits Harry the summer after his death to help him prepare for what’s the come. This includes teaching him magic and how to become an animagus! However, Dumbles doesn’t exactly like Harry’s new plans and Hermione and Ron keep sticking their feet in their mouths. Ginny, however, is his biggest supporter. It’s complete and even has a sequel.

Finally, I finished vol 4 of Dahlia in Bloom – Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools, where I remember leaving off, I really need to finish the series at some point. I decided to restart and relisten to Life’s a Pay to Win Game by UnholyExcaliber as part of the cycle. It’s fun and I don’t mind listening to it again now that I’ve finished all the current chapters (109 just came out).

Onto the quest; first is Dumbledore’s Army by Bobmin356. It’s a sixth year Harry Potter fic that I’ve mentioned before here. Harry gets a magically spelled letter from his dead parents and Sirius (spelled before Lily died, but from their spirits) telling him how to get his life in order. A retired American squib helps him and his friends get ready for the war. It’s Harry/Ginny and has some dark scenes. It’s completed and has a sequel!

Second is the last of the D’s – Dusk and Dawn by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and My Little Pony crossover I’ve talked about before here. Fem. Harry (Dawn) is really Twilight’s sister who was stolen by Fawkes. She finds a spell to take her home after the trial goes wrong before 5th year. She and Sirius take it and interact with the MLP cast. It has 14 chapters and was last updated in 2014.

Third is the first of the E’s – Earning Her Stripes by ack1308. This is a Worm AU where the trio (yes, those ones) get three power granting vials. Emma and Madison take them and join Sophia in becoming superheroes. However, they want their own villain so dose Taylor. However, as things do, she Escalates. How will things go? Read and see. It has 48 chapters currently and was last updated last year.

Fourth is Effects and Side Effects by Pheonix Dawn. This is an end of 5th year Harry Potter AU that I’ve mentioned before here. Harry is turned into a girl after the Department of Mysteries when Voldie makes Draco give Harry a potion to get his soul fragment back (yes, he figured it out when he possessed Harry). However, Harry fights back and becomes more powerful. Eight school-age witches decide to help him and swear an oath to do so. Of course, this magically marries them and they all train to fight. It has 37 chapters and was last updated in 2015.

Fifth and last is Elemental Harry by hermyd. This one is another Harry Potter sixth year AU. Harry and Ginny get elemental powers after his fifth year. They have to bond to control their powers (like the werewolves from Twilight, but from both sides [the author said that, not me[). How will having the power affect the fight against the dark? You’ll know if you read as it’s complete with 12 chapters.

That’s it from me and I hope we all have a better week this time. See you next time and as always; May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

Finished the Alpha Dex!

Hello, readers! I’m back and on time! This week was fine as I went back to work. A position in another department that I’m qualified for has opened up again and I applied again. I also finally got the Spanish workbook from the company that I’ve been trying to get for quite a while, but that’s because there are a lot of Spanish speakers here and it’s a prerequisite for most of the higher level positions.

Moving onto the Pokémon: Legends Z-A, as the title says I finally pretty much finished the Alpha Dex! I have all the new Alphas (including their regional forms and other forms) except for evolving Alpha Feebas and the other three Pumpkaboo sizes. I’m seriously considering getting another copy of the game just to trade, but I’m willing to wait for now as I have the needed unevolved forms. Now I’m getting back to Pokemon: Legends Arceus to get the final Alphas I need from it; ? Unown, Cranidos, Rampados, Shieldon, Bastidon and Oshawott. I’m focusing on ? Unown for now, but I hope to get it soon.

Next is what I’m listening to, I actually finished By The Grace of the Gods Vol 7 before I posted my last post, but as it was on like Tuesday, I decided to leave it for today. So, now I’m listening to In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 5. In it, Touya has to deal with the fact that he’s now the Grand Duke of his own country and get it set up. While that’s happening he gets an envoy from a Theocracy and they seem intent on making him change the religion of his new country to theirs. As Touya has met God, he refuses. How will this turn out!

I also got to the chapters I hadn’t read yet for Harry Potter, Squatter by Enterprise1701-d so I decided to switch to Forging Destiny by White Angel of Auralon. This is a 3rd year Harry Potter AU. Harry finds Sirius after he runs away and is convinced to stay with him. It has some tropes like, having good goblins, manipulative Dumbles, suppressed Harry and multiple lordships. It’s an interesting fic, there’s not really a love interest and best of all, it’s completed! It even has a sequel!

Also finished is Ashs Just Reward by The Warmongers of Simora so I decided to listen to The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. This is because the last fic in the series is coming up on my reading list and I want to finish it before then. My calculations put it potentially in late Feburary or early March, but who knows? Any way, I talked about it recently, so here’s a link to it.

Now, onto the quest; first is Devil Arts Online by Greatazuredragon. This is Sword Art Online and High School DxD crossover. After getting free of the game and freeing Asuna, she’s hurt by Sugou and ends up in a coma. Kirito makes a wish for her to be saved and ends up summoning Rias. Rias is happy to grant his wish (this is set after Asia joins), however when she calculates what the price is, it keeps coming up with him joining her peerage. She does, but soon ends up back at the hospital to grant Asuna a wish, thus completing her peerage. She doesn’t know why they were chosen, but maybe they’ll be a help? Also, who’s this devil asking about them? This is a fun one, with the basic story based off another fic later on my list (a long one-shot). Sadly incomplete with 32 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2018 (though the author posted to another story almost a year ago).

Second is Different Than You Dream by brown phantom. It’s a Ranma ½ Au where Akane dreamed the whole story before it started. She sees how she acted and wants a new start. However, when Ranma shows up, it’s immediately obvious that things are different. Eventual Ranma/Akane/Shampoo/Ukyo. This one is also incomplete with 25 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2016. The author has posted to plenty of other stories, but hasn’t completed this one for some reason.

Third is Direct Thee To Peace by Umei no Mai. This is the sequel of Compass of My Soul. It’s a Naruto Clan Wars AU. Kita (SI) has managed to convince the Uchiha and Senju to work towards a lasting peace between them with both sets of brothers alive. Now all she to is navigate the peace talks and what comes after. The village is set up, but things are different from how we know them. How will this new Konoha survive in the end of the clan wars? It is complete and there are no more sequels.

Fourth is Dirty Little Secret by QueenKalasin. This a Harry Potter 7th book AU. [Content Warning – there are quite a few underage sex scenes. Don’t Like, Don’t Read.] Harry and Ginny decide to fake breaking up at the end of his 6th year to get Voldy off her back. She sneaks over to Privet Drive after the Dursleys take a vacation and leave him alone. They spend a few days alone. Everyone goes back to Hogwarts and Harry and Ginny have a strange back and forth. A fun and overly emotional fic (especially at the end). And it’s finished!

Fifth and last is Discovering the Legend 1-3 by RoseDragonWitch. This is another Harry Potter characters read the books from the early 2010s. I think this one is the author because there’s an ending fic. They reference that they finished book 4, but my copy only goes through most of book 3. Remus visits the castle during the Order of Phoenix and finds the first 4 books in the Room of Requirement. He takes them back to Grimmwald Place and reads them with Sirus and later other order members. It’s interesting, but I wish I had the rest of the story. (I looked it up and I can find more, but it’ll take a little work)

So, that’s it for this week. I hope things go well for you this week and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Digimon Can Make You Late

Hello, my readers! It’s been another week, and it’s been a busy one. I had to finish up things that my co-worker couldn’t do or didn’t know about during my time off when my friend visited. Then my supervisor came back, and we got more things but can’t do anything with them until his says so. It’s frustrating, but what can you do. *shrug*

Sorry this is late, it was combination of being unable to sleep, hosting a zoom for most of Saturday and playing Digimon Story: Time Stranger. I’ve been enjoying it, but I need to get better at exp farming. It seems my Digimon are not at the correct levels for where I am, at least for the boss battles. I’m currently in the Digital World, but I just fixed the trains. I’m going to take some time to grind and get a few of my Digimon to Ultimate before I move on. (lol, the original Digimon theme (Butterfly) performed by the cast just popped up on my playlist as I was writing this.)

If I had written this yesterday, there wouldn’t have been any changes to my listening list. However, today I finished Reincarnated as a Sword vol 14 on Audible and switched to By the Grace of the Gods Vol 2. In this one, Ryoma joins in a monster hunting quest in an abandoned mine. He also gets an idea for using his slimes to do laundry. How will his new business work out?

Moving on to the reading quest; first is Burnt Genes by Night Raydes. This is a one-shot Harry Potter and X-Men crossover, or rather now it is. I vaguely remember it having ten chapters, but this author used to change their name multiple times and rewrite their stories. Now as I previously mentioned, they had a break down and aren’t currently writing. It has Harry awakening a mutation and the X-Men finding him before he goes to Hogwarts. That’s really all that it has currently.

Second is By The Grace of the Gods Book 1-7. This was really added because I listened to them on Audible during the quest and added them. As I’m going to be relistening to them soon, I’m not going describe more for now. Third and last of the B’s is By Your Side is Where I Belong by TexasBean. It’s a Naruto and One Piece crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Zoro gets lost and ends up in the Elemental Nations before meeting Luffy. He does some bounty hunting work and ends up in Konoha where he meets and defends Naruto from an attacker. Kakashi takes this chance to get Naruto a better childhood and manages to “let” Zoro get “lost” with Naruto and convinces him to take him with him. They get young Gaara too and then head out to eventually meet Luffy. It’s fun and has 26 chapters. Sadly, it hasn’t been updated since early 2021.

Fourth and first of the C’s is Cambion by Quatermass. It’s a Harry Potter and High School DxD crossover I’ve talked about before here. Harry is a half devil and James kicks him out of the Potters for having a different father. Hermione reveals that Riser Phenex is his father and asked him to fight him for Rias’ hand in marriage. It has 20 chapters but sadly hasn’t been updated since 2019.

Fifth is Campione of the Holy Grail by fg7dragon. It’s a Fate Stay Night (Heaven’s Feel Route) and Campione crossover that I’ve mentioned before here. Things go differently and Ilya gets revenge on Angra Mainyu as they’re in the middle of traveling in the Kaleoscope and blows herself up. This happens in the Campione universe and Ilya is reincarnated in that world with several powers as she had the other Servants spirits in her. Follow her as she has fun in her new world. It has 6 chapters and it’s interesting. Unfortunately, it hasn’t updated since 2017.

Sixth and last as I’m tired is, Campione of the Raging Tide by SeerKing. It’s a Campione fic that I’ve mentioned before here. Basically, a different eighth campione is reborn before the Guinevere arc. She accepts Pandora as her new mother and is directed to get the seventh, Godou, to accept his place before the big battle with the campione slayer that’s coming. Jean, the MC, is mostly interested in women and thus if you don’t like, don’t read. It has 31 chapters and is still updating, though it’s in the author’s schedule so it’s months before an update.

To end, I contacted my old friend to edit what I’ve written for my fanfic. They don’t know the stories much at all, but I know they read and write a lot. Therefore, I’m mostly asking them to edit for readability and if they feel I need to add more because the chapters seem short to me. We’ll see how it goes. Anyway, have a great week and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

Rather Short Then Late, Right?

Hello, my readers. This week has been a bit more interesting, but next week is going to be busier. We pre-did some of the work for next week so it would go faster, but I still don’t get why it was changed from the last week of August to the first week of September. We’ve always done the work then and it made sense because in that everything would be ready for September. But there’s nothing I can really do about that other than do the work when told to.

I haven’t changed much in my listening stories. I finished Pick Up The Pieces and Take Stock by Umei no Mai and started it’s sequel, Pick Up the Pieces and Move On. It follows Xanxus as he deals with newly discovered family and figuring out where he wants to go from where he is currently. [*Content Warning*] There are male and male sexual situations in this. It’s not crucial to the fic so can be skipped. Otherwise, don’t like, don’t read. [*Content Warning*] I’ve talked about it before here.

I also finished Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship vol 12 and started Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Vol 3 (the current last one on Audible). In it, Yuna is finally at the capital and has to deal with the people there, while finding food stuffs needed to make some of her favorite foods.

Moving onto the quest, first is Beltane Child by White Angel of Auralon. It’s a Harry Potter fic where during the Horcrux quest in book 7, he goes to a Beltane celebration and gets roped into being the horned warrior to Daphne Greengrass’s goddess. She gets pregnant and when Harry discovers her after things don’t go well with Ginny after the war, he decides to take his fatherly duties seriously. [*Content Warning*] Slight sexual situations, all characters are above the English age of consent (16) [*Content Warning*]. Completed with 11 chapters.

Second is Best Served Cold by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter time travel fic with a slight Hellsing crossover. I’ve talked about it before here.  It’s unfinished and hasn’t updated since 2017. Third is Better Left Unsaid by Kenchi618. It’s a Naruto fic where Mizuki didn’t tell him about the Kyuubi during their battle. I’ve talked about it before here. It has 85 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2023.

Next is Between Lies and Truth by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Harry Potter and KHR fic where Colonello is Harry. It’s set before they’re cursed. I’ve talked about it before here. It’s unfinished with 10 chaps and hasn’t updated since 2018.

After that is Beyond the Outer Gates Lies by gabriel blessing. It’s a Harry Dresden and High School DxD crossover. I haven’t read the Harry Dresden series (even though I own and have read a little of the first book), but he’s a wizard in New York who is essentially a private detective. The one in this story is a version from latter in the series and he locks some extradimensional attackers out of his world at the cost of being on the wrong side. He defeats them all, barely, but uses a tricky power to escape from Great Red. He ends up in Kouh de-aged to a teenager and ends up in Kouh Academy. How will he react when he learns of the supernatural elements of this world? And how are they different from his own? It’s a fun, completed, 3 chapter fic.

Finally, there’s a trilogy by megamatt09; Beyond the Veil Volume One: Arrival , Beyond the Veil Book 2 Challenges, and Beyond the Veil Book 3: Deception. It’s a Harry Potter and Marvel crossover, with DC elements coming in starting in Book 2. Harry follows Sirius through the Veil of Death, and ends up in the Marvel universe. Eventually, he ends up at the Xavior Institute (in the X-Men: Evolution timeline) and tries to find Sirius and maybe a way back. He ends up with many Marvel and DC characters, starting with Kitty Pryde. [*Content Warning*] There are many sex scenes and underage sex (though they’re still in high school) and Harry with older women as well. Sex scenes can be skipped [*Content Warning*]. The trilogy is complete.

Anyway, I finally got a Switch 2, though I don’t have any new games for it. I mainly got it because I wanted to get it before the price potentially rises (I know it might not, but you never know) and in prep for Pokémon Legends Z-A. I’ve preordered it and Digimon: Time Stranger and am looking forward to them in October. At some point soon, I’ll try and update my Fanfiction database with all the new fics I’ve talked about. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

I’m Here Again, And Plan to Stay

Hello, everyone out there. As you can see, I have returned. Thanks to those who are still following! I’m sure you’re wondering, why now? Well, part of it is that I wanted to. But one reason I decided to was that someone messaged me through the website contact about a commenter on another website, telling me I should do something about them, like I had control of that website. I didn’t click on the link, because I’m not stupid, but I did look up the website and honestly the mistake was understandable. The website is mattreadingtranslations.com. Let me be clear here, similar naming aside, I have nothing to do with that website. I don’t have the time, inclination, or skills to translate anything from another language. I have some knowledge of Spanish, French and Japanese and very little German from classes and reading/watching many stories, but definitely not enough to translate. I enjoy the fruits of those who do translate but am not one of them. Now that I know of this website, I might at some point look into what he’s translating, but not currently.

Moving on, things are mostly the same with me. I’m still in the same position at work. The position I didn’t get in my department opened up because the person who got it over me left, for no reason that those of us who weren’t there at the time have been told. Well, Matt, you ask, did you apply again? Yes, yes, I did. And as mentioned I didn’t get it, again. I did a lot better in the interview, and I know because my interviewer, my supervisor’s supervisor, told me so, but I didn’t get it because they ‘decided to go in a different direction’. From my few interactions with the lady who got it, the different direction is that she can speak Spanish fluently and I can’t.

Am I thrilled about this? No, I’m not. I’ve indicated my willingness to learn Spanish, in fact, I had been working with the same supervisor about my work paying for a class so I can relearn Spanish or even get a basic computer proficiency certification. The third option I had, which I’m not going to mention other than I would have been able to teach people a skill, fell apart when I found and mentioned that the paperwork I was filling out said I had to teach 10 people a year or potentially lose my license to teach them. We don’t have 10 people a year to teach this skill, sometimes we don’t even have one. So it was dropped.

After this, I was busy, but a month or so ago I sent an email asking them about the other two and they said they’d look into it, but I haven’t heard anything. Quite frankly, I’m pretty fed up with the lot of them as my supervisor is also being very nitpicky. He gets annoyed when I even seem to be telling my newest coworker (in my same position) information or suggestions because he wants her to make her own mistakes. One day my coworker and I were doing a certain job and similar things showed up near when I was leaving and I jokingly said she could do them if she finished what we were working on after I left. When I was mentioning where certain things were in the next morning, as both me and my supervisor had to be out for the day, he came in and blasted me for what I was saying and for telling her to do more the day before, right in front of her. (To be clear, she knew it was a joke and told me she was the one who told him what I had said as a joke, also in a joking tone, the day before and was very annoyed he took it out on me). I walked away and he and I didn’t talk except about work things for the rest of the day and I’ve never mentioned it again.

He seems to get angry with me whenever I do something that infringes on his position or I use knowledge that I gained when I had to do things for him while he was off to solve issues when he’s doing things away from the office. For example, when doing my job, I found a discrepancy, I knew he would be away for a few hours, so I went to someone who had paperwork that he to given them to see if I could find out what went wrong. As I’ve done this before, she didn’t bat an eye at it and in looking at the paperwork I found he had made the mistake. She gave me the paperwork, so he could fix the issue when he got back. So, I let him know that I found an issue and he told me to put it on his desk and so I put both paperwork on his desk. When he got back, he got angry at me that I had went to the other person and gotten the paperwork. What I got from it was that he was angry that I found a mistake he had made. A relative mentioned that he may be afraid I’m trying to take his job. I don’t want his job, just a better paying position, to not have to be on eggshells to see how he’s feeling that day and to not have to deliberately not do things I can do to make him feel better.

To be frankly honest, I’m getting tired of my treatment there. I’m only even there and not seriously looking for a new job because the summer is the busiest time in my position and I’m not heartless enough to bail on them in the middle of that. My relatives have been pushing for me to get a new job for a while now, but I have my pride, in that I won’t leave until it won’t cause a huge problem. If things get better (as in I actually get a new position I apply for, not that there are currently any available that are worth my time or I am qualified for and/or my supervisor stops being overbearing), I may stay but that’s not likely.

For those of you wondering, but Matt, what if a coworker finds this blog. I laugh and say, not likely, I’m following my work’s Facebook page, but I’m not Facebook friends with any coworker. I’m fairly sure that the link on my profile to this page has always been friends only, but I’ve just made sure it will be from now on and I’m fairly sure none of them is subscribed to the blog. If someone at work already knows about it and comes here to see my rant, then come what may. I’ve only aired my opinions and not said anything indicating my job, position or names of anyone involved.

Okay, moving on from That, I’m still working on my quest and I’ve actually reached the Rs now. Of course, the next three letters will take a while, but I’m close to ¾ths of the way done! However, what I’m listening to is first.

The one I’m currently listening to in my rotation is Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship. It’s an audio book and I’m listening to the 11th volume and the last available on Audible. If I haven’t mentioned it before, it’s about Hiro, a Japanese salaryman who loved playing a sci-fi game where he played as a space mercenary. One day he wakes up in the cockpit of his beloved spaceship and has no idea what happened. The universe he finds himself in is similar, but different from the one of the game and he has to figure out how to survive. Space mercenary is the way to he decides to go and it follows the adventures of him and his increasing crew of beauties. It’s an amusing light novel with action and some romance. I definitely recommend it. I’ve read the webnovel too, but that was in the reading quest, so I’ll get to it eventually there.

Next is going to be Angry Harry and the Seven by Sinyk, I’ve talked about it before, here. It’s still good and an interesting Misled Dumbledore story, of course most of Sinyk’s stories have that. After that is the light novels for Death March in a Parallel World Rhapsody. I’m just using text to speech with the novels, not an audiobook. Yes, I’m comparing them as I mentioned it would. It’s, hm, lighter, so far? Like for example, in the webnovel, Satou only saves one homunculi from the Elf made dungeon and can’t save the rest. But, in the light novel, they’re all saved, but the rest go on a journey and don’t even come back up except in passing until 10 or so volumes later. The author also added a few new light novel only stories and introduced a bad guy earlier in a different form. I’m currently on volume 14 of 23 (out in the US), but we’ll see how it turns out.

After that in the rotation is Taylor Varga, an old favorite of mine. I even talk about it in my second post on this blog, here. Unfortunately, it hasn’t updated a chapter in years but I still like to get back to it every once in a while. After that is Super Gene or Super God Gene, a fan translated Korean webstory. There’s a version on Kindle Unlimited, not that I’m sure how that got there, but it exsists, but it’s also on other sites. I’m only listening to a certain point, that I’ve already read to. The rest I’ll read when I get to it on the reading quest. It’s a sci-fi fantasy where humans are interstellar, but when they get transporters working they end up in a parallel dimension (?) where tech doesn’t work other than to get back. In the other dimension, there are monsters that, when you defeat them can give you a monster soul with an ability if you’re lucky. If you eat that animal, you can get geno points and become stronger. Han Sen becomes an outcast right after he gets to his shelter in the other dimension because he attacks a shapeshifted person in the butt. This turns out to be one of the strongest people there and no one likes him after that. He accidentally finds a gem that causes monsters to evolve and manages to become very strong. Then he finds out about the 5th hidden gene, the super gene. Follow him as he becomes stronger and takes revenge on those who wrong him.

Following that is Yesterday’s Tomorrow by Umei no Mai. It’s a completed side story to Black Sky that I’m actually surprised I haven’t mentioned yet. It’s set in the 320s of Black Sky and follows Tsuna when he’s sent to the ‘future’. He immediately realizes it can’t be the future and this changes things drastically. It’s interesting for only being three chapters. Finally, another old favorite, Desperately Seeking Ranma by PixelWriter1. I first mentioned it, here. As before, the author hasn’t updated in years. In my first post I mentioned they hadn’t updated in 2 years, well that was 7 years ago now, so it’s 9 years now. They posted on their profile in 2022 pretty much saying the same thing, so we can only hope they eventually post again.

Moving on to talking about my current quest, this is going to be a longer one because I want to finish off the A’s sooner rather than later. To start off with, is A Day of Boredom also by PixelWriter1. It’s a longer Ranma ½ one-shot set after the series ended. Ranma is left completely to his own devices for a day for the first time in a long time. He heads to a park and meets a guy doing metal detecting. Intrigued, he decides to see if he can do the same thing with a new technique. This sets off a series of events that are very interesting, I definitely recommend.

Second is A Deal Made in Good Faith by sakurademonalchemist. I’ve talked about it before here. An interesting fem Harry with a Supernatural crossover.

Third is A Demon’s Curse and an Angel’s Blessing by Apex Soldier. It’s an older Naruto fic, I mean it came out in 2010 and was last updated in 2017. Yes, unfortunately it’s incomplete. In it, Naruto’s seal malfunctions when he’s young and he becomes more animalistic. Fortunately, Hinata can hm, not tame him, but he’s protective of her. It’s interesting but is unlikely to ever be completed as they haven’t posted anything since 2018.

Next is A Devil’s Bijuu by fg7dragon. It’s a Naruto & High School DxD crossover where in The Last movie Hinata kills Toneri and in his final moments he opens a rip in space that sends all the Konoha Shinobi into the High School DxD universe. They end up becoming devils and the Bijuu get their own bodies too. It’s interesting, but incomplete. It’s only 10 chapters and the author hasn’t posted on any fics since 2018.

After that is A Different Beginning by Breanie. It’s Harry Potter fanfic where the Potters survive and that changes things drastically. James wakes up after the attack and finds Lily is amnesic. Harry still goes to the Dursleys, but James gets him out once he finds out how he’s treated there. It’s a Harry/Ginny stories, but it’s a long time to get there. Oh, and Harry isn’t the only young Potter. It’s a complete 89-chapter story with sequels. A really good long read.

The next one is A Different Course by Aliandris. This is actually a discontinued fic (that wasn’t before I started my quest). It’s a My Hero Academia fic where Himiko Toga is found by Izuku before she’s too far gone and is adopted into the Midoriya family. Izuku still gets One-For-All, but decides to still act like a quirkless hero in mindset and abilities. The author discontinued to rewrite it under a new name with changes. The old fic is still up, but the new one is Family Beyond Blood.

The one after that would have been, A Distant Storm by TheBeardedOne, but I talked about is on my last post because the last fic in a series was up first. Following that is A Dragon’s Prerogative by sakurademonalchemist. This is another story that I’m surprised I haven’t mentioned before, but maybe it was posted after my sakurademonalchemist quest. It’s a crossover between High School DxD and Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Fem Tsuna is the Red Dragon Emperor and she and Vali have a thing. She even manages to help Rias. Like most of this author’s stories, it’s incomplete. There are 9 chapters and it hasn’t been updated since 2019.

Then there is A Dramatic Reading by White Squirrel. It’s a Harry Potter characters reading the books that manages to survive by putting minimal quotations from the books. It’s only the first book, but it’s worth a read. There are three sequels and the most recent was updated earlier this year!

Continuing my mentioning what we were reading for the currently defunct manga club I was in, we starting reading the next two the meeting after the last three. Both were recommend by the club leader. I had already read some of both of them an seen the animes for them. The first one was One Punch Man. Yep, he was a big fan of the background art that the author drew. One Punch Man is about Saitama. He was an ordinary salary man until he tried to defend a young boy from a monster. The defeat and the boy laughing at him he decided to train to become stronger. He did a daily workout of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run for years. Now he’s so strong, he can defeat any enemy with, wouldn’t you know it, one punch. Even though there’s a Hero Association, he is unregistered and is a hero for fun so many people don’t know how strong he is. It’s an action comedy. There are two seasons of anime and I think a third season was recently announced.

The second was Youjo Senki or The Saga of Tanya the Evil. This one was from a light novel and then became a manga and anime. It’s about a Japanese salary man who was murdered by a subordinate that he had fired early that day. He talks with God or as he calls him, “Being X” who berates him for being an unbeliever. They have an argument and Being X sends him to be reborn in a new world to make him into a believer. He is reborn as a girl in world similar to pre-WWI Germany, but with magic. She enlists at young age and becomes an ace by accident in the first battle of the war. She has to deal with Being X and other Godlike beings interfering and her own delusions about things messing things up. It’s amusing. Sadly, there is only one season and a movie. However, a second season is supposedly to be released next year. Looking forward to that!

Finally, I have finally finished my planning out of the capture of all the Sakura Cards in my own fanfic. I’ve started writing again and am on chapter 5 currently. Remember I want a padding of 10 chapters before I post and I want my writing group to edit and I hope to get a little bit looked at in a few weeks.

Also, sadly, Square Enix cancelled Missing Link after months of nothing. I was very sad to hear it, but hopefully it’ll be a regular game eventually instead of a mobile game. I’m still looking forward to Pokemon Legends Z-A and surprised with the October release.

Before I say my ending phrase, I want to add one thing. I have a shirt with this phrase on it and I found it while looking through my clothes. Unfortunately, it was faded so I bought a new one. My current plan is to make sure I wear it once a week and that day I’ll start writing that week’s post. I wore it yesterday and am posting today when I finish this. So, thanks to those who continue to follow and as always – May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

It’s a Death March Weekend!

Friday

Today (and most of this weekend, at least) I’ll be rereading and then catching up with the web novel I mentioned last post, Death March. I got the 43rd part of the 10th act before I started writing this post. The new chapters today are – Ashes to Flame, Tsunami, and Mauling Snarks.

There was also a new chapter for a story I haven’t mentioned yet, ‘Devil Ninja’ by The Engulfing Silence. It’s a crossover between Naruto and High School DxD, where Naruto ends up in the DxD world with no chakra. He ends up at Kuoh Academy a month before the start of DxD, how will his being there change things? Find out here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9775478/1/Devil-Ninja.

Yeah, so this one does have sex and sexual situations in it. Just in case anyone doesn’t want to read that stuff (or is underage).

The extra story I’ll talk about today is one I mentioned earlier, “The Prince of Tennis” (it was when I was talking about the abundance (and variety) of sports manga/anime. The Prince of Tennis is a story by Takashi Konomi about a young tennis prodigy named Ryoma Echizen who just returned from America with his family. He ends up at Seishun Academy (it’s a middle school) and joins its strong tennis team. After beating some of his seniors, he ends up on the team’s regulars. They work together to try and get to and win the National Middle School Tennis Championship. However Ryoma also wants to get better to win against his Dad (who’s much better than him). It’s an older series, but it’s still popular. The original series ran for 42 manga volumes and had 178 episodes. It has a sequel ongoing called “New Prince of Tennis” which is about after the Nationals and onto the Worlds. I recommend this one very much.

Nothing more today, see everyone tomorrow!

Saturday

Once again, I read more Death March and got to near the middle of the 13th act at part 20. The new chapters for today were Reincarnation Roulette, Relic of the Future and Heroes Assemble! There was really nothing else today, so onto my replacement story, next paragraph!

I’ll go more in-depth for another story I mentioned about when I talked about sports, “Eyeshield 21” by Riichiro Inagaki. It’s about Sena Kobayakawa, a high school freshman at Deimon High who is a frequent gopher for bullies. His childhood friend, Mamori, protects him, but he finds it embarrassing. The only thing he has going for him is his speed. The devil captain and quarterback of the ‘American Football’ club (yeah, so looked this up and it turns out that this and football of the rest of the world have the same base sport that split when football decided to not use hands. Soccer was a slang term for “Association Football” (no hands) in Europe, but is now only used in North America. Don’t know why “Rugby Football” decided to drop ‘Rugby’, but now there are two footballs. Who knew), Hiruma sees him and tricks him into becoming the third member of the team (along with Kurita, a lineman) as the running back (they borrow members from other teams until they eventually get a full roster). To hide his identity, Sena pretends to be the manager and during the games wears a tinted Eyeshield and has the number 21 (thus Eyeshield 21). Sena gains confidence and grows as they strive to get to the Christmas Bowl. This is another oldie, but goodie. It has 37 manga volumes and 145 anime episodes.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love Ya, Tomorrow. You’re Only a Day Away!

Sunday

I only got to the end of part 13 of Death March today, but that’s because I reread (and caught up on) Deku: The Golden Saiyan Hero of Hope that had a new chapter today. The other new chapters were from An Unseen Hunt and an omake for Taylor Varga. Once more I read nothing else new, so its time for the talk about another series!

This time is “Cross Game” a baseball series by Mitsuru Adachi, who has written several other baseball and sport series. Cross Game is about Ko Kitamura, who is a great pitcher. His childhood friend, Wakuba Tsukishima (the second daughter in the family), treats him as her boyfriend and wants him and her sister Aoba (the third daughter) to get along. Her last dream she relays to them before she dies in an accident while they’re in elementary school is for them (Ko and Aoba) to go to Koshien (the high school baseball championship) together. He eventually joins the baseball team in high school and she becomes the manager because she can’t join the team (even though she hates him, mostly). They overcome the team’s difficulties and work toward their goal of making that dream come true. It’s a sweet story, though it has a sad beginning. It has 17 volume of manga and 50 anime episodes (I really love the opening and closing themes!). I very much hope you read/watch this one.

See everyone when I post tomorrow! (also did anyone else see the new trailer for Kingdom Hearts 3 with part of the new opening theme! It looks and sounds great, though I’m sad we won’t be able to hear the full version unless we pre-order/get the album and even then not until it comes out on Jan 18 a week before the game comes out).

Monday

So today I got to part 20 of act 15 (the middle of it) of Death March. There are only 16 acts currently, but it (again currently) has 78 parts and an intermission. I may finish tomorrow, but I should be finished on Wednesday at the latest. The new chapters today are Mauling Snarks and How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave Me My Quirk.

There was a new chapter for a story from ack1308 called, ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’ It’s a Worm fic where Danny and his wife Annette were a hitman team called Dark. They stopped after Taylor was born, but when Taylor is put in the locker and her favored dog (only in this fic) is stolen, he dons his former identity to get back the dog and get revenge for his daughter. It only had 3 chapters (and is infrequently updated), but it has an interesting beginning. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11811377/1/Are-You-Afraid-of-the-Dark.

For today’s new series, I’ll take a break from the sports and Japanese stories. “The Hardy Boys” by several people under the pen name Franklin W. Dixon is an older children’s mystery series about brothers Frank and Joe Hardy. They’re teenagers who are amateur detectives, following after their father who is also one. They usually assist their father or stumble onto something with his cases. The original series was started in 1927, but were revised in 1959 to be less racist and simpler. It ran until 2005, when “Undercover Brothers” started. That ran until 2012 and “The Hardy Boys Adventures” started in 2013. The original series has 190 books (though some only consider the first 58 to be ‘canon’). It’s a fun series for your kids, I should know I read some when I was young!

See you, my readers, when I post on Thursday!

An Irregular and Meltan Weekend (with some other things mixed in)

Friday

Today I finished The Irregular at Magic High School book 18 and read book 19 and read some more of Escape from the Hokage’s Hat. There were new chapters for Mauling Snarks, Ashes to Flame and History’s Strongest Disciple Again? (the one I beta read). I also read some more sakurademonalchemist.

The first new one (again for me, not overall) was ‘Swords of a Devil.’ It’s a Type Moon Universe and High School DxD crossover where Shirou is a devil and is kidnapped by the Church after he is adopted.   It was for the Holy Swords project that Kiba was a part of and it tempers his ‘saving people’ thing. Watch as he changes things, here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11974930/1/Swords-of-a-Devil.

The other new one was ‘Queen of the Grimm.’ It’s a Once Upon a Time and Grimm crossover. Grimm is a TV Series about Nick Burkhardt who is a Grimm. A Grimm can see the true form of Wesen, which are part human and part animal. He defends his city from evil Wesen and helps those in trouble.

The story has Regina leaving Emma in charge of the town in order to get away from the Charmings and her mother. She ends up in Portland, OR and meets Nick. She is also a Grimm and helps him and others out. Here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11555943/1/Queen-of-the-Grimm.

I also watched the first few episodes of “Storage Wars: Northern Treasures.” It was okay, but the original is so much better. There’s way too much animosity and bad mouthing in this one. In the original, while they were competing, it was more of a friendly rivalry most of the time. In this one, they just seem to hate each other. I wouldn’t really recommend it, personally.

Nothing more for today, see you tomorrow.

Saturday

Today, I read more Escape from the Hokage’s Hat. There were new chapters for Relic of the Future, Harry Potter and the Stargate and Heroes Assemble! and Black Sky (Yay, it’s back. Though it’s only sporadically for now). Other than that I watched some more episodes of The Irregular at Magic High School. It was kinda a slow day.

I’ll talk about the Artemis Fowl series. It’s an 8 book series about Artemis Fowl, a genius middle school student who wants to make back the money his family had lost. He decides to do this by stealing from the fairies, who he had found out were real. He kidnaps a LEPRecon (Lower Elements Police, Recon division, because they live underground) Captain, Holly Short. The first book has him against LEPRecon, but they’re on sort of the same side after that. I like the series a lot and am looking forward to the movie I heard about next year.

Hope to have more tomorrow!

Sunday

Today was more Escape from the Hokage’s Hat and episode of The Irregular at Magic High School. There were new chapters for The Unseen Hunt and two short omakes for Taylor Varga. Other than that I worked on the Let’s Go, Meltan PoGo tasks and finally got to the fifth set with needing to do 10 raids tomorrow to complete it and a few chapters of Mists of a Dawning Sky.

Since I, once again, have very little, I’ll talk about the Outlander series. Outlander is a book series about Claire Randall who is having a second honeymoon with her husband Frank (after WWI) in Scotland. She goes through a stone circle and ends up in 1743 and gets caught up in the Scots revolt of the time. She meets Jamie Fraser and has to make a decision: try and get back to her time or live her life here. There are eight books out now with at least one more on the way. I like this book series and the TV series follows it well (overly so in some cases).

R Rated Content

There is sex in the series, but the main warning I’ll give is that there is a graphic scene in both the book and TV series where there is a male raping another male. Just to give fair warning.

R Rated Content

That’s it for today, see everyone where I post tomorrow.

Monday

Today, I finished rereading Mists of the Dawning Sky, finished watching the first (and currently only) season of The Irregular at Magic High School and completed the Let’s Go, Meltan quests (even though I already had more than a few Meltans from sending Pokémon to Let’s Go). There were new chapters for Reincarnation Roulette, Mauling Snarks and Seerking’s Asylum. I read some more sakurademonalchemist again.

I reread their story, ‘Flames of the Black Cat,’ which is a Black Cat and KHR crossover. Black Cat is about a Sweeper (bounty hunter) named Train Heartnet who is a former member of an assassination organization called Chronos. He and his companions have to fight against Chronos and later his former best friend’s (who killed his girlfriend for changing him from an assassin) organization. I like both the anime and manga and definitely recommend it.

The story has Train reincarnating as female Tsuna, who has a male twin. Realizing he/she’ll be in a bad situation later, Train leaves and becomes a hit woman (though she hides her gender). Watch as she changes the plan of the Vongola just by existing and finds a few more reincarnated friends, here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12918478/1/Flames-of-the-Black-Cat.

The other story I reread was ‘Fated Bonds,’ which is a Fate/Stay Night and Naruto crossover. It has Archer Emiya summoned along with the Shinigami. He leads a life as a blacksmith in Konoha until he finds his ‘summoner’ a young Naruto. He takes Naruto in and helps change Sasuke’s fate. Find out how by following this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12288979/1/Fated-Bonds.

Finally, I read ‘The Witch of 221b Baker Street,’ which is a Sherlock and Harry Potter crossover. It has Female Harry becoming disillusioned by the magical world after 4th year and getting away rather than being used. She becomes Joanne Watson and ends up as Sherlock’s roommate. You can find the story, here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12245680/1/The-Witch-of-221b-Baker-Street.

There was also a new chapter for a story by ack1308 called ‘Another Way.’ It’s a Worm story where Amy (or Amelia in this case) is never taken from her father (because he isn’t captured). She grows up as a supervillain’s daughter and it changes her. Read how by following this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11481821/1/Another-Way.

Sherlock is a 3 episode per season, British TV series that has Sherlock in modern London. It’s okay, but has a habit of leaving the audience at a cliffhanger for a while (There was some time between season 1 and 2 if I remember correctly).

There was also a new chapter of a story by Kenichi618 called ‘Shinobi of the High Seas.’ It’s a Naruto and One Piece crossover where Naruto is immortal and after some time looking after the Elemental Nations, (he leaves Konoha to be a protector of the EN when he finds out he’s immortal. He never had a family with Hinata) he decides to see the rest of the world. He eventually meets Luffy early on his (Luffy’s) journey and hangs out with him for a while. He gets his own ship and crew. Find out how he interacts with the One Piece world here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6314806/1/Shinobi-of-the-High-Seas.

I’m writing this before I head out to a showing of the new Pokémon movie – “The Power of Us” and will write a little about it when I get back before I post this. Which will be here –

I really liked it, the movie did a good job of mixing Pokémon and real world problems everyone has. One of the main ones, and relevant to most people, is that lies only cause problems, not solve them. Lies cause a lot of the problems in the movie that could have easily been avoided otherwise. I would definitely recommend The Power of Us. It’s showing in select theaters on the 28th and the 2nd. There still might be tickets left if you want to see it (there were less than 10 people including me in the theater tonight). Hope you like it too!

Thanks for reading and see everyone on Thursday!

 

Happy Turkey Day!! (Thanksgiving)

Tuesday

Today, I finished Uzumaki Naruko: To the Victor, the Spoils. There was only a new chapter for Revenant. Other than watching the first ten episodes of the The Irregular at Magic High Shcool, I mostly played PoGo, KHUx and Fate/GO. I was mostly busy with relatives and Thanksgiving prep.

In recompense, I’ll talk about the Inkworld Trilogy. It starts with the first book, Inkheart. It’s about a father (Mortimer or Mo), who repairs old books and his daughter (Meggie) who have a special ability, to read people and characters into and out of books. When she was little, her father accidentally read her mother into the book ‘Inkheart’ and brought out the main villain, some of his goons and Dustfinger, a fire-eater. Now, the villain wants to use their abilities to bring his strongest allies to this world. How will they get out of this? You can find out in Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath. I really love this trilogy because it tries to answer an interesting question; does a story really end when the book ends?

Hope I’ll have more for the rest of the days this week, but with Thanksgiving; who knows?

Wednesday

There wasn’t much again today, but at least there’s more than yesterday. There were new chapters for Burning Ice, Harry Potter and the Stargate, Mending the Knots, and Heroes Assemble! Played more PoGo, KHUx and Fate/GO (end of the replay of the former Christmas event).

Seerking is finally back and with the last of their main stories (that I might have mentioned or not, he hasn’t posted an actual chapter for it since the week before I started the blog. Though he might have posted an interlude that I talked about. Really, really need to make that list), ‘Code Geass: The Prepared Rebellion.’ It’s a Code Geass story that has Lelouch actually planning to rebellion (and working out rather than being a lazy bum). He takes other people into consideration and has better connections with people. Things happen differently, but his goal is still the same; to get overthrow his father and find out who killed his mother. Here’s the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10724053/1/Code-Geass-The-Prepared-Rebellion-V2.

The family and I went to go see the new Grinch movie tonight and I have to say I liked it a lot. The songs were good in my opinion and I liked that they gave the all the characters a better back-story. I very much enjoyed the organ that the Grinch had in his cave. All in all, I would recommend people to go see it. It’s not just a movie for young kids, all ages would like it (in my opinion, considering there were essentially three generations of my family that liked it).

Finally I reread another of sakurademonalchemist’s stories, ‘Fiery Rebirth.’ It’s a Harry Potter and KHR story where Rokudo Mokuro is Harry. Petunia sold him to the Estranio family when he was young and he gained the ability to transform into a Pheonix and have a burning day (turning him into a young kid with no memories for a few weeks). He activates this ability to get his body back from the First Generations’ Mist Guardian (Daemon Spade) and turns them both into babies. This causes a ripple effect that ends them up in England.

That’s it for today. See everyone when I post tomorrow!

Thursday

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone who celebrates it (cause I know people from all around the world read this blog) had a happy day with lots of food and their loved ones! Moving on, because I was not on the cooking crew, I was able to read more today, even if most of it was from sakurademonalchemist. There were new chapters for How Eating a Strange Fruit Gave Me My Quirk, Taylor Varga (finally!) and Reincarnation Roulette.

The first of the ones I reread (from sakurademonalchemist) was ‘Elemental Sky.’ It’s a KHR and Naruto crossover with the Female Tsuna character being the Sand Sibling’s cousin on their mom’s side through Nana. When she goes to visit she is able to help Gaara with his issues. She is also able to help some Konoha ninjas (including our favorite blonde ninja and his quiet stalker [I mean, fellow shinobi]). In exchange they help her deal with her issues in her hometown and with other things. The link to the story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13036342/1/Elemental-Sky.

The second one I reread was ‘Sunshine.’ It’s a Harry Potter and KHR crossover where Renatto (Reborn as a young kid) becomes a young female Harry’s penpal. They keep in contact until he tells him how to deal with a certain Toad. She runs away after and she becomes his Sky. She causes many changes and most of them are for the better! It can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12354356/1/Sunshine.

I also read some stories I haven’t read from them, with the first being ‘Golden King of Zero.’ It’s a Familiar of Zero and Type Moon universe crossover, with Louise summoning Ko Gil (Kid Gilgamesh, who is better liked) as her familiar. Ko Gil is surprised and (rightly) blames the old Vampire Troll for his problems. What will happen with him as the Gandalfr? Find out on the other side of this link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11944888/1/Golden-King-of-Zero.

The second was ‘Empathy,’ which is a Harry Potter and Scorpion crossover. Scorpion is an American TV show about a group of genii who work for the government (sometimes) to solve issues other’s can’t. They’re lead by Walter, who is the smartest of them all. Paige (who’s son, Ralph, is also a genius) helps them understand other people and translates them to others. I like this show, even if I’m behind on it, so I would recommend it.

Empathy has Harry being adopted as Adrian O’Brien and is Walter’s brother. He is an empath and joins the team slightly before the show after being released from confinement in the hospital in the wizarding world (because they thought he was too powerful). He helps the team with their missions and solves problems that come up. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11903581/1/Empathy.

Next is ‘Moonlight Star,’ which is a Sailor Moon and Nanoha crossover. It has Chibiusa ending up back in time during the events of the first season. She befriends the main character of the series and helps solve things, changing the future (or at least it will). The story is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11784932/1/Moonlight-Star.

The last one was ‘Devil of the Forgotten.’ It’s a Harry Potter and High School DxD (it’s non-M rated) where the female Harry is Rias’ missing sister. She shows up right before the story started with her peerage (to hard to explain quickly, other than it also mixes Hellsing). She changes many things and tries to save her sister from her fate. The link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11830822/1/Devil-of-the-Forgotten.

Finally, I also started rereading a story by anothvortex called ‘Escape from the Hokage’s Hat.’ It’s another Naruto is kicked out after he retrieves Sasuke back, but this one has Tsunade, Shizune and Hinata joining him. It’s an interesting story and is about 42 chapters long, but hasn’t been updated since 2012 so I don’t think it will be finished. If you can overcome that, the link is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4991314/1/Escape-from-the-Hokage-s-Hat.

Nothing more, other than that I’m full of food. See everyone on Monday!

I’m Heading Out to Get Let’s Go!

Tuesday

Today, I read so more of I Am Harry Potter and Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, An Ashikabi’s Life for Me, but didn’t finish either one of them and read books fifteen through the start of eighteen for The Irregular at Magic High School. There were new chapters for; Service with a Smile, Another Fine Mess, and Reading Chronicles Book 1: To the Victor, The Spoils. I got Shedinja on PoGo from the Research Breakthrough this morning, but now I wish that I had waited until this afternoon because of the stupid new Sinnoh Stone. It can only be gotten from the Research Breakthrough, but it didn’t become active until this afternoon (stupid, should happen at night, but I guess it is night somewhere then).

Anyway, I read some more new sakurademonalchemist fics (new as in I haven’t read them, they have like, let me check, 246 stories). The first one was ‘Spirit of the Jewel’ and it’s a InuYasha and Natsume Yūjin-Chō (which will now be Natsume because it’s stupid to get those vowels with symbols every time. It translates out to Natsume’s Book of Friends) crossover. Not sure it I’ve ever said what Natsume is before (really need to make that list I mentioned soon), but it’s about a boy named Takashi Natsume who can see spirits. He has since he was young (He’s a teenager now) and his family switches him between themselves and thinks he’s a liar and troublemaker because of his ability. He inherits a notebook from his grandmother that she bound spirits to control them. He tries to find them and give them back their names (which are in the book).

Spirit of the Jewel has Takashi and Nyanko (a spirit who hangs out with him who wants the book, eventually) going to the Higurashi Shrine to live before the start of InuYasha. He, Nyanko and a fox spirit end up going to the past with Kagome and getting involved with her adventures. It only has four chapters (so far, but hasn’t been updated since Sept. 2016). If you want to read it, here is the link – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12152411/1/Spirit-of-the-Jewel.

The second is called ‘Arrow of Truth’ and it is a Fullmetal Alchemist (FMA) and Fate/stay Night crossover. Shirou ends up declining Alaya and not becoming a Counter Guardian. He then meets Truth (from FMA) who says he is a fragment of Edwards from when he went through the Gate of Truth (Think the author was referring to original anime series). Truth then transports him (in Edward’s body) to before the Grail War and he changes things. Fine out what, here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12095365/1/Arrow-of-Truth.

The last one (from this author) is ‘Beware of Sith Trolls.’ It’s a three-part story (with only two parts out since Aug. 2016) that’s a Harry Potter and Star Wars crossover (with mentions and meeting Black Wing from Fate’s Gamble by Lupine Horror). It has Vader saving a young Harry Potter (who deaged himself and his a troll) and having him become his apprentice. Chaos ensues, which can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12068640/1/Beware-of-Sith-Trolls.

I discovered that Fruits Basket is finally getting a remade anime with the whole story (YAY!). While doing that I learned of a short (unfinished) sequel about another young girl and the children of the Fruits Basket characters called “Fruits Basket Another.” I read the manga and enjoyed it, really looking forward to the finish and the new anime!

I reread a fic by kb0 called ‘A Friend Indeed.’ It’s a six-chapter story about what would have happened if Ginny would have tried harder to be Harry’s friend after his name comes out the Goblet of Fire. Things change, but most of it’s for the better, right? Find out here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3822327/1/A-Friend-Indeed.

I also got a new chapter for a story called ‘The Lady of the Flies’ by InsanityIncarnate90. It’s a Worm and Highschool DxD crossover that has Rias reincarnating Taylor after the end of Worm as her Queen. Watch how this changes the DxD universe completely! Here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12586479/1/The-Lady-of-the-Flies. (Might have already talked about this one, realllly need to make that list.)

That’s it for today, see you on the next line tomorrow!

Wednesday

I finished both My Name is Harry Potter and Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, An Ashikabi’s Life for Me today. I also got caught up on The Gamer (my app didn’t get the new chapters until today <_>). There were also new chapters for Burning Ice, Harry Potter and the Stargate, Flames of the Night Sky, It’s in the Cards, Heroes Assemble! and an omake for Mauling Snarks. A Ultra Friend on PoGo gave me an Ex Raid invite today and I was finally able to catch Deoxys (yay!). I also got some Lucky Pokémon from trades today!

I started rereading a story by an author I haven’t mentioned yet, Phantom1s. It’s called ‘Harry Potter: Archangel’ and it has Harry’s accidental magic transporting him to the Flamels at a young age (to escape from the Dursleys). He grows up with them and ends up meeting Tony Stark and creating a magic Ironman suit called Archangel. He saves a going into fifth year Ginny (remember he’s not been at Hogwarts, to study at least) and things happen from there. I like this fic and the author, but feel he kind of jumps around and has pacing problems. The link to the fic is here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6989193/1/Harry-Potter-Archangel.

There was a new chapter for the fic, ‘Organization 13 and a Half’ by Glennt123. It a Kingdom Hearts story that starts before 365/2 Days. It has a sentient Dusk that is the main character who becomes a part of Organization 13. Hasn’t reached 365/2 Days yet, but it is still semi-frequently updating. The story can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12971650/1/Organization-13-and-a-Half.

Lasty, I started rereading another of kb0’s stories, ‘Harry Potter: The Avenger.’ It has Harry not wanting to stay in his world any longer and goes through the Veil (with a trunk full of things) to try and find Sirius. He ends up in New York right before it’s attacked by aliens in the first Avengers movie. He joins the defense and becomes an Avenger. It’s finished (but I still need to read a few more chapters of the seven) and can be found here – https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10477045/1/Harry-Potter-The-Avenger.

A rerun of last year’s Christmas event on Fate/GO started today. Looking forward to playing through it!

Nothing more today, can’t wait until the Midnight night release of the Let’s Go games tomorrow!

Thursday

I finished Harry Potter: The Avenger and read more Broken Dreams (by ThunderReborn if you’ve forgotten). The only new chapter was from Another Fine Mess. That and playing PoGo, Fate/GO and KHUx are really the only things I did today. Wow, that’s kinda sad …

Anyway, I’m writing this before I head over and get my new Let’s Go games, but I have enough time to talk about another series. This time I’ll talk about “Skip Beat” by Yoshiki Nakamura. The main character, Kyoko Mogami, went to Tokyo with her love Sho to help him while he became an Idol. But when he became famous he got rid of her and she vowed horrible revenge. She decided to get revenge on him by becoming a bigger star than him. The only problem, she left behind love and can’t muster any up to catch people’s eyes.

When she proves to have talent, the director of a company decides to make a “Love-Me” section to help her (and others eventually) find what they’re missing. Watch her work through her trials to get one over on Sho (and who’s this Ren Tsuruga?). I really enjoy this series and need to catch up on it, I’m a bit behind.

I’ll post this now before I head out. See everyone on Monday and hope people who are also getting Let’s Go enjoy it as much as I will!
