Listening Changes and Life Update

Hello, readers! It’s been two weeks and I hope you’ve been having fun and keeping busy. I’ve been doing that with learning what I need to do for my new position! There’s a lot to learn and I’m glad everyone’s willing to help me learn it. In other news, it’s becoming more of a pain to look up the first time I’ve mentioned a fic, so I won’t be adding that link to the fanfic descriptions anymore.

I’m also still going through my Pokémon card collection. I’ve got all the extras out and now I’m going through them to see if there are any that people online are interested in. There’s still a lot of bulk, but some are worth a bit. I’ve also started scanning my dvd/blu-ray collection to make a cloud drive so the household can watch them without having to ask me for them and also not rent a movie when I have it because they don’t know/remember about it.

Though I haven’t had as much time to listen, it’s been two weeks and I was close to finishing a few fics so there’s more than what I thought had changed. This is what has changed; first is that I finished Now I’m a Demon Lord! Happily Ever After with Monster Girls in My Dungeon Vol 1 and moved onto Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Vol 2. In this one Mukouda continues to travel with his two familiars; Fel and Sui. He’s just arrived in a country and learns he has to re-register with the Adventure’s guild because he’s hasn’t been able to do a quest in a while because of traveling. He aims to slowly build up his rank before continuing on his journey, but will his familiars have something to say about that. Also, it seems more goddesses have learned about him and is this a new familiar? Read all about it in this volume.

I also finished that one and moved onto She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 5. In this one, Mira continues to look into clues about her missing comrades. She rides the incongruous train to follow the trail looking for Soul Howl. With new comrades and her summons will she get any closer to finding anyone? Find out in this volume.

I also finally finished A Young Girls War Between the Stars and decided to relisten to the DSR series by PixelWriter1, starting from the prequel stories. First is It All Started At The Museum. This one is a one-shot that tells the story of how the four OC magical girls in the main story got their powers and started to do magical girl work. Second is When Ranma Met Aiko (and Tamiko and Fumiko and Misaki). This one is another one-shot that like the title says, is about how Ranma met the four previously mentioned magical girls. This one is set a while before the end of Ranma ½.

Third is Aftermath. This one is a two-shot that tells what happened in the incident after the failed wedding at the end of Ranma ½ from both Kasumi and Ranma’s POVs. The last prequel story is The Fugitives. This directly follows the previous and shows the two how got away started hiding from the Narima Wrecking Crew and were able to live their own life.

Finally, I’m now onto the main fic, Desperately Seeking Ranma. This is a crossover between Ranma ½ and Sailor Moon, but SM is on the sidelines until the later chapters. However, the last arc has been dealing with them. It tells the story of Ranma and Kasumi as magical girls, but told from the POV of Nabuki. She eventually finds them and ends up getting sucked into their orbit (and become a magical girl too). It’s fun and a great fic with 98 chapters. Sadly, it hasn’t been updated since 2016, but the author likes to post that they’ll finish it. Their last post on their profile was in 2022 though.

While not finished, I momentarily paused Black Sky because there was a side story to read, Yesterday’s Tomorrow by Umei no Mai. This one tells of Tsuna’s experiences in the fake future; something he can tell immediately, because *spoiler* he’s not the tenth anymore as he lost the ring battles *spoiler*. He thinks of it more like a video game, and to be frank, it acts like it. This one is finished with 3 longer chapters. Now that it’s finished, it’s back to the main fic and the consequences of that happening, and Dorea and Xanxus are not happy.

Next we finally finished the Game On series that I’d already read. I finished Game On! 3.2 and moved onto Game on! 3.5. This is a one-shot that is the transition chapter between the 3.0 stories and 4.0. It shows how the world changes from Earth to the world of the Naruto world. Tuskiko is much diminished because of helping her people and the aftermath of the human’s war. This is interesting and shows how things are different and the same in this new Naruto world.

When I finished that one, I decided to relisten to Life’s a Pay to Win Game by UnholyExcaliber. If you don’t remember this one, it’s a crossover between Mobseka (Trapped in a Dating Sim: The World of Otome Game is Tough for Mobs) and The Eminence in Shadow. The two worlds are merged and both MCs are born in their respective families. The author does a fantastic job of mixing both plots and making them make sense and interesting. It’s currently complete with 117 chapters, but the author essentially paused it because there’s not much more story for EiS and most likely will continue when either several volumes of it comes out or it finishes.

Next is more side stories for Stories of the Lone Traveler, but we’re actually almost to the end of this story in the list. The first one is Lone Traveler: Babylon 5 Universes. This one contains all the Babylon 5 crossovers from this ficlets, eventually separated because many people (like me) haven’t watched it and so don’t know much about the characters. It has 18 chapters and is listed as completed. I haven’t finished it because I’m focused on the chapters directly referenced in the main story at this time.

The second one is Lone Traveler: Initiative and is with a crossover world with both Buffy and West Wing in it. LT Harry appears when the military is messing around in Sunnydale. He goes to the president and is lucky because he happened to save Josh’s sister from the fire (that killed her in the main series) in the past. How will they handle it? It’s an interesting little story and is also complete with 8 chapters.

The third and the one I’m currently on, is Lone Traveler: The Greatest Minister in History. LT Harry shows up right after Fudge is elected and helps him to become a competent minister and deal with issues so Harry doesn’t have to. Thus, he becomes the title. It’s also complete with 17 chapters.

Skittering Campione was also completed and I chose to listen to Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies That Won’t Stop Bugging Me by Seerking. This one is archive of Worm AU first chapters and sometimes first arcs of stories that the author didn’t want to continue and left for others to use if they wanted to (and give them credit). It’s mostly Taylor getting other powers or where things went differently in the main story. There are many crossovers and I’ve talked about most of them before. This author still hasn’t posted at all since last year, but the last time this one was in 2024.

Lastly, I finished My Hero Academia: The Golden Light of Hamon and decided to add a recently finished fic and listen to it. The Finding by kb0 is Harry Potter fic where Harry and Ginny touch before he leaves on the train before first year and have a Greater Finding. This is in essence them finding the best person for them, there are also Lesser Findings (that Arthur and Molly have). This and Harry’s wandless magic that he’s been using for a while are the main first changes. He decides to live at the Burrow and learn magic with Ginny for his first year. There are many more changes in the 39 chapters of the story. It’s worth a read.

Now it’s time for the quest stories; first is Harry Potter and the Bonds of Blood by Darth Marrs. This is a darker soul bond story. Riddle tries to take Ginny’s soul before he’s destroyed but Harry saves her. However, things don’t go back the way they came and their bonded. This is not all good, as they are not automatically in love and clash. They have learn to live with each other and survive. This is complete with 52 chapters.

Second is Harry Potter and the Chance at a New Life by kossboss. This one is a crossover with Stargate: SG1. Harry combines with Riddle’s memories after the basalisk vemon destroys the Horcrux. This eventually leads him to decide to leave the wizarding world (after years of preparation) through the Veil, which is really their version of the Quantum Mirror. He comes out from Stargate’s Mirror long before SG1 finds it. He takes over Pelops when he tries to possess him. Watch as Harry takes over and makes his own kingdom to fight for the galaxy. It’s incomplete with 19 chapters and was last updated in 2024.

Third is the last fic in a series *Content Warning* There is sex, quite a bit, in all of these. As it’s set at the beginning of 5th year quite a few of them are mid to late teens and adults with Harry. Don’t like, Don’t Read.  *Content Warning* So the first one is Harry Potter and the Witch’s Secret by Selector. When Harry arrives at Grimwald Place, the unattached ladies can tell his magic is calling to them as he wasn’t taught to control it. So his magic calls to unattached ladies to help control it through the above-mentioned activity. This is very ridiculous, but it caught my attention when I was younger. It also has some early Underworld elements. It’s complete with 53 chapters

The second one and actual sixth fic for toda is Harry Potter and the Dark Lady. A Dark Lady wants Harry, but only for herself. She and her minions attack to bring him to her side. It’s complete with 36 chapters.

The third one (in both places) is Harry Potter and the Corvinus Strain. This one is the full crossover with the Underworld series. Harry and the girls help and interfere in said events to help get to the ending best for them. It’s also complete with 17 chapters.

The fourth is also the second in a series. The first one is Harry Potter and the Power of Emotion by Melindaleo. Harry is not okay after the end of his fifth year, but will he be able to accept the help he needs to heal? Ginny helps him and they get closer. A 6th year fic where Harry learns his power is affected by the love of those around him. It’s complete with 37 chapters.

Its sequel is Harry Potter and the Curse of the Damned. Harry has to continue to grow in power while dealing with Vodlie. However, now Voldie knows the prophecy and is working to turn it in his favor. How will Harry end the war? And what is the Curse of the Damned? It’s complete with 33 chapters.

The fifth fic and last fic for today is Harry Potter and the Daft Morons by Sinyk. This is another favorite fics with a smart Harry. Harry uses the first task of the Triwizard tournament to reveal a lot of manipulations that he’s had to deal with. How does he know this? Because he is immune to mind magic and so when he’s been Obliviated, he remembers. Harry works to deal with the daft morons around him to get the wizarding world back on track. It’s a Harry/Hermione/Daphne/Fleur story. Sadly incomplete with 84 chapters and not updated since 2018.

That’s it for this week. It’s a bit longer than I thought with all the side stories in the listening list. Have a great two weeks and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key.

A Slight Change and the Continuation of the Harry Potters

Hello, readers! Sorry this is late, but I decided over that first week to start doing every two weeks from now on. This is mostly because I’m starting my new job in the coming week and I want to focus on that.

I’ve several other things I’m also working on as well. The quest, obviously, of which I’m still switching between the really long webnovel (that I’m on chapter 884 or so of over 2000) and the next fanfic in order. I’m currently on “The H”es. I’m going through my Pokémon card collection in preparation of taking all my extras to somewhere in town to sell it in bulk. I’m also trying to get through both my manga and anime backlog. All while trying to work on my fanfic (which I just today finished Chapter 15 of).

Anyway, onto the listening changes: I finished She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man Vol 4 and moved onto a new light novel Now I’m a Demon Lord! Happily Ever After with Monster Girls in My Dungeon Vol 1 by Ryuyu. This one is a classic isekai where the MC, Yuki, dies and is reincarnated as the Dungeon Master. In this case, he becomes a Demon Lord and encounters the might dragon Lefisios. After subduing her with sweets she lives in his dungeon. He’ll meet plenty others to bring him more into this world and it’s issues.

I also finished Game On! 3.1 and moved onto Game On! 3.2. This one also continues in the same life, thus 3.2. As previously mentioned, this one is a crossover with ½ Prince the manhua. Years after 3.1, Fate lets her know of a hero who could use her help. Fang Lan gets angry at her twin brother and decides to play the new VRMMO Second Life as a male. She’s allowed this special exemption as the first player. Tsukiko joins her to help her get more confidence and to find out about the souls she can feel in the game. How will things turn out? Read in this completed fic with 10 chapters.

This next ones are more side stories for Stories of the Lone Traveler. First was Lone Traveler: Here Comes the Marine. This one is a crossover with NCIS where Gibbs’ wife is Lily’s cousin. The Lone Traveler arrives to help the local Harry as a child, only to discover that he’s actually Gibbs’ son as James couldn’t have children (Harry was blood adopted). It follows them finding the Gibbs and Harry life with them afterwards. It only goes to leaving for Hogwarts, but is complete.

Second was Lone Traveler: Harry Potter in Arcadia. This one is a crossover with Joan of Arcadia. It’s a two-season series about a girl who can talk to God and he gives her tasks (that I now own but haven’t watched). This one starts near the end of the series and actually completes the plot that the series ends on. Harry meets God himself and learns that one of his children set him on his journey. Harry himself teaches Joan a bit about the ripples of events. It’s complete as well.

Third was The Lone Traveler in a Galaxy Far, Far Away. This one is a crossover with Stars Wars: A New Hope. Harry pops up in a certain pub and meets God there. His form is a punk  kid (apparently there’s a horrible species that dresses like that) and he goes with Harry on the Falcon with the rest of the crew. It’s a short silly fic.

Fourth and last of the side stories was Lone Traveler: The Slytherin Chronicles. Harry pops up the Snape’s first day as a professor. He decides to help the house learn was ambitious really means. Snape begrudgingly goes along. It’s complete and goes an interesting direction.

Next I finished The Rising of the Shield Heroine and moved onto Reality Bites Worm by Selector. This is a Worm fic that I first mentioned here. Taylor triggers earlier and gains a slightly different power. She soon gathers an all-female team that makes changes soon after debuting. It’s an interesting fic, but sadly is incomplete with 37 chapters. It hasn’t been updated since 2019.

I also finished with that one and started Skittering Campione by Greatazuredragon. This one is a Worm and Campione! crossover that I first mentioned here. At the end of Worm, Taylor is instead to the Campione world where she reincarnates as one based on killing Scion. She soon faces off against Heretic Gods with names that are familiar to her. How will she deal with everything as a Campione? Read here for a least some of it as it is incomplete with 16 chapters. It was last updated in 2020.

Finally, I finished Cloudy, with a Chance of Freedom and did a random roll that landed on My Hero Academia: The Golden Light of Hamon by SeerKing. This is MHA fic (no duh) with a slight JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure crossover. At almost the last day, Izuku ‘awakens’ a quirk with the powers of Hamon from JoJo. This allows him to defend himself against Bakugo and exposes the inattention of the teachers. Both children are moved to other schools and Izuku learns more about his quirk. It’s very interesting, but sadly only has 6 chapters. It was last updated in 2023.

Now for the quest; first is Harry Potter – Three to Backstep by Sinyk. This is a Harry Potter time travel story that I first mentioned here. Harry dies in a different Final battle and learns this is the 6th time he’s died. His Guardian Angel lets him know that he’s being sent back with his memories this time along with Hermione and Daphine Greengrass to 4th year. They are given a soul bond and begin to fight back against those looking to oppress and enslave them. It’s competed with 50 chapters.

Second is Harry Potter: To Love is To Live by kb0. This is a Harry Potter AU where Ginny actually gets over Harry in his 4th year. However, Harry likes her and in 5th year when it seems like she is completely uninterested in him, he gets sicker and sicker. Will Harry and Ginny get together or will things end badly? Find out in this completed fic with12 chapters.

Third is Harry Potter: Unspeakable by kb0. In this one, Harry is approached by the Unspeakables after his fifth year and is offered a position with them. He takes it and they help him find a way to defeat Voldie. It’s complete with 14 chapters. It even has two different endings with two different girls (and the omake one is Ginny).

Fourth is Harry Potter: Choices by kb0. This is a Harry/Ginny story I first mentioned here. Harry decides after his 5th year that he needs to start making his own choices. Firstly, changing his Magical Guardian and then who he’s interested in. It’s a Soul Bond story, but with more depth and an interesting ending for Voldie. It’s completed with 34.

Fifth is Harry Potter and Fate’s Debt by Intromit. Before Harry leaves to go to Hogwarts for the first time, he receives a letter from his future self. It tells him that Fate owed him one to get to know Ginny. He does and this changes many things. Yes, it’s another Soul Bond story. Sadly, it’s incomplete with 27 chapters. It was last updated in 2008.

Sixth is Harry Potter and Godric’s Legacy by hermyd. This is yet another Soul Bond Harry/Ginny story (I didn’t realize there were three in a row). After 5th year, Harry is fed up with Dumbles and gets help from an unexpected source. Turns out there’s a second part to the prophecy and Dumbles is trying to take a role he’s not meant for. Harry and Ginny get together and work to defeat Vodlie (who’s worse in this one). Completed with 15 chapters.

Seventh and last is Harry Potter and the Artificer Legacy by Kairomaru. This is a favorite and was first mentioned here. Harry discovers his magic early because the Dursleys are nicer. This allows him to start creating magic artifacts before Hogwarts and that becomes his passion. He wants to become an Artificer and ends up with three girls; Penelope, Tonks and Fleur. It’s complete (I guess I haven’t read it recently) with 85 chapters and is a great fic.

That’s it for this time. As I mentioned, my next post will be in two weeks and I’ll let you know how my new position pans out! Be Excellent to Each Other and May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
