Return of the Naruto Community Derail Thread: Part Two!

Random rambling.

You know, I think NFT is actually a useful thing.

It teaches me which youtuber/streamer/company etc are degenerate scammers and block them permanently!

I just think all they're worth is an eye roll.

^^It also shows who may be a moron by checking who buys them

The new Fantastic Beasts movie was actually pretty cool. Still didn't answer the most important question tho - what made Dumbledore decide to stop wearing suits, and start wearing wizard robes.

The new Sonic movie was also pretty damn great.

Also, there is a mid-credits scene.

Happy Easter boys and girls!

Happy easter!!

Happy Easter, all!!!

(and happy Passover and ongoing Ramadan to those who celebrate those)

Two games I'm waiting for to be added to the Steam store so I can add them to my wishlist:

• Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle R
• No More Heroes 3

So I'm thinking about my What If smash movesets, and I think I need to come up with some new smash attacks for Carmen Sandiego. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Nevermind, I came up with something.

Carmen Saindiego just steals her opponents moveset.

So, after putting One Punch Man manga (not the original webcomic) on hold for many years, I learned that the Garou/Monster Association arc, which started on 2014, still hasn't finished yet.

Bloody goddamn hell. I've been reading shonen manga for over 20 years now so I am fully aware of this little thing called Arc Fatigue in this kind of manga, but never expected this from OPM.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat. And here I was telling myself I was going to read that manga eventually.

Meanwhile One Piece is undergoing its latest bout of Arc Fatigue.

Along with Dragon Ball Z, OP was the first manga ever to teach me the concept of Arc Fatigue even before I discovered TV Tropes, so THAT's actually not too surprising for me.

Hell, I would be surprised if a big, major OP arc DOESN'T result in an Arc Fatigue.

EDIT: I looked above posts and I am surprised that there is 3rd No More Heroes title.

OPM decided for some unfathomable reason to give each and every monster and S class hero a stupidly long fight scene, and then the artist would go back and redraw the fight again sometimes.

Random rambling.

As I mentioned multiple times in this thread, I'm a professional web-novel writer. Last week, I finally hit the one year anniversary mark and reached my 350th chapter.

So.

365 days. 350 daily upload chapters. Let the math sink in. ^note  Basically, I upload one chapter per day, so on average I took about only one break per month

Goddamn. And I have like 250 more chapters to go if I want to end this series in a somewhat satisfying note.

And no wonder why most isekai works, hell, most long running works in general tend to have bad endings, the authors get simply exhausted and frustrated by the end.

Hell, at least I'm getting around seven hours of sleep a day - which I find is decent enough - but boy howdy, I can't imagine those weekly shonen mangakas who have to work for YEARS while getting, what, four hours of sleep per day?

I already knew how tough that kind of life can be, but now I'm tasting a very small slice (like, I dunno, 10%) of that.

...Even then, I still feel justified in crapping on writers who end a series really, really horrendously, though.

I'm looking at you, Game of Thrones.

Are you allowing yourself rest? Maybe take a week off?

Edited by wanderlustwarrior on Jun 10th 2022 at 1:10:37 PM

Well, when I'm done with story I will definitely take at least three months breaks. Really looking forward to that one...

Thank you for asking, by the way. How are you doing yourself?

You write a chapter per day? That sounds like an insane pace.

It's not too bad, really.

The paid chapters' minimum character length is 5,000, which is roughly about 6~7 pages. Every 25 chapters add up to about a light novel volume. So I'm only writing about 1.1 LN volume worth of content every month.

...Huh. Okay, perhaps that's a lot more than I thought. XP

How am I doing? Honestly? Drained.

Wow, that's insane pace. I have no idea how you manage that.

Oop. Here's hoping you are at least taking better care of youself than I do to myself...

Honestly, that is a good question.

The answer is that...I probably don't. It's like, opening my eyes, feeling dread at the realization of another daily deadline, slogging and punching myself through it.

Then at the end of the day, I would go to bed longing for the day I can upload the chapter titled "Epilogue".

I'm trying, but it's not entirely on me taking care of myself.

Ah. That's...very fair and I feel stupid for that oversight. XP
