Quarantine continues, and we all need stuff to distract us!

I finished listening to Word of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. I’m off to listen to Edgedancer, a novella that bridges Book 2 and 3. It’s far, far shorter. It is buried in a short story collection (that’s really great in of itself).

It’s about Lift, a young and budding Knights Radiant who doesn’t take anything seriously but food. She’s an interesting character. In some ways she’s a lot of fun, in other ways she’s too “charactery.” She doesn’t feel like a real person. An eccentric person. A fun person. But not anyone grounded in reality. But that’s some of her charm. A lot of her is an act, to begin with, someone who wants to be a certain way and doesn’t to change.

I’m reading through Elfen Lied Omnibus Volume 3. There are few manga (or other fiction) where I feel true fear for characters’ lives. This is a strange series mixing a slice of life harem tropes with some of the most violent scenes in the manga. Characters get dismembered. Killed. The diclonious are insane.

The manga is way passed the anime at this point. If you don’t know about Elfen Lied, it’s about Lucy. She’s a mutated human with psychic powers. If you get too close to her, she can rip you apart. She’s being held in a facility under extreme guard when someone brings a pen within range of her power.

She escapes, killing many. When she gets shot in the head on the way out, she gets amnesia and goes from this jaded killing machine to a cute and innocent girl who is in need of help. But at any time, Lucy could come out. This tension pervades the series. It’s was a rather shocking opening back in the day, and the manga continues that.

Things are getting crazy. I have no idea what the end game of the manga is. I just hope it’s a better ending than the anime.

I started reading Altina, the Sword Princess Volume 3. This light novel is such a fun read. It’s a tactical fantasy series with Regris struggles to overcome his own doubts while advising Princess Altina as first her military tactician on the frontier and now in court.

Altina is rising in politics and is a threat to her older brother. I’m intrigued to see how the manga balances the battlefield shifting to court. How will Regris’s cope with this new situation? I’m interested in seeing where it goes.

This is one of the light novels series that I’m always pleased to read.

For this week’s winner on iStrippers is definitely Eva Elfie’s Sweet Smell of Spring. Eva is always a delight to have perform, and she has something whimsical and naughty going on in this show.

Another week in quarantine. I hope you all are getting through it fine. That your families are staying safe. My mother gave me a bit of fright this week when she asked me to call her. I was dreading learning someone had COVID. Instead, she was telling my grandfather had to go into a nursing home because he’s falling all the time. He’s a big guy (I’m 6’1″ and he’s taller than me). My grandmother (who’s like 5’3″) can’t help him stand.

It was a strange reminder that more is happening in the world than the pandemic. He’s been needing extra help for some time now. Either a live-in nurse or a nursing home. He realized it and made the decision for himself.

In writing news, I’ve been thinking about what to write after Futa’s Mind-Controlling Panties. I’m envisioning a series of a futa who has a king for MILFs and their daughters. So some mother-daughter-futa fun coming soonish.

This week I TRIED to read Interspecies Review, the manga in a fantasy world bout adventurers going to monster girl brothels and reviewing them prostitutes. It’s an interesting concept. I really thought I would enjoy it, but I couldn’t even finish it.

Big disappointment.

The art isn’t great and there’s no real sex in it. All the fun stuff happens off-screen and then you get a score cared where each of the adventure rates it. A human, an elf, and then it’s either a halfling, angel, dog-man, and once a lamia giving their view on it.

This is more for the humor than the sexy times. And while sometimes it’s humorous reading the reports, this is a manga and they are doing a lot of TELLING and very little showing.

Though, the beginning with the human adventure bragging to his elf friend about how great elven women are. The elf adventure is grossed out because the elven prostitutes are all 500 or more years old. Human doesn’t care because they look like young and nubile girls to him. Then the elf adventure is talking about this fifty-year-old human prostitute he likes. She looks well-used and haggard to us humans, but to an elf, her being 50 is so young. It’s like barely legal stuff for him.

Sadly, it just didn’t click for me after that.

So I started reading Our Wonderful Life, a yuri (lesbian) high school slice of life romance manga series. It follows four friends who are starting their first year of high school. None have seen each other in years. They have fun personalities that play off each other which makes it amusing to read. And then you see the budding feelings between two of the girls.

Koharu hasn’t seen her old friend Mafuyu since she moved to Tokyo. Now she’s moved back and both girls are feeling an attraction. Neither one really is understanding what they’re feeling, but they get all cute and blushy around each other. It’s adorable.

It’s also fun to read a series that doesn’t take place in Tokyo. They are out in a small town with two of the girls commuting in from a village so small they were the only two girls in their grade during elementary and junior high school. Another girl just moved back from Tokyo which really impresses our excitable village girl.

All in all, I am glad I picked this up.

I nearly finished reading Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Vol 1. I knew that the character Rem, whom I have several figures of, came from this series. So I was interested. To my surprise, she’s not even in the first light novel, at least not in the character gallery in the beginning. Though she’s on the cover for book 2.

This one launches you right into the story. It’s an Isekai, but it starts in media res with Suburu, our main character, bleeding to death while a girl says she’ll save him. Then it cuts to him, a slacker high school student who just bought a bag of chips and some instant ramen at the convenience store, appearing in this world. He’s confused. Doesn’t know where he is.

He immediately gets jumped. Beaten up. There are some hilarious parts when a bunny girl thief runs by and he thinks she’ll help but she’s too busy running. Then our girl in white appears and she, too, appears like she’ll help only to reveal she’s after the thief. But she does save him and he decides to help her get what she stole back from him.

And this leads to the interesting twist of this series: he’s in a time loop.

It’s interesting to read. There’s a mystery here. Why was Satella’s badge stolen, who is the mysterious person who guts him, and more! The time resets are different each time as he does a different thing. it’s a fun premise but I wonder how long this can be sustained? So far, I’m enjoying it.

This week on iStripper, there’s sexy Belka – Cup Half Full that was my favorite show of the week. She’s just a delight to see. Always fun and flirty. She’s looking delicious this week.

Quarantine continues. I hope you are all staying safe!

I started writing Dungeon Builder’s Harem on Thursday! It was a slow start, as it always is with a new series, but I hope it’ll be good. It’s a new fantasy world. An isekai. In book one, we’ll get a little sister succubus in the harem.

So I hope it’ll be great! I’m writing it like a novel, so I actually wrote two chapters and into chapter three. I think I’ll publish a few chapters at a time, but I’ll figure that out when it comes.

Full Metal Panic 6 Light Novel came out. I’m sure many of you know FMP, it’s a popular Anime Franchise. The Light Novels that started it are coming out. They diverge from the original Anime (which is a great series) at Volume 4. For those who don’t know, it’s a mix of comedy and realistic military action. Kaname is an average high school girl who doesn’t know that she has esoteric secrets in her mind. A group of terrorist wants to kidnap her, so a mercenary group known as Mithril send in one of their best men to be her bodyguard.

Sousuke Sagara is a sixteen-year-old mecha pilot. He grew up in war-torn Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion. He’s been fighting since a kid. All he knows is war. Now he has to infiltrate peaceful Japanese society. He needs to protect Kaname, but he keeps overreacting to every situation to comical results. He’s a complete fish out of water. He has no social skills.

But when the shit hits the fan, you want Sergeant Sagara on your side.

The light novels are great. They have a lot more character growth with Sousuke in it. He’s much more realistic when you get his internal conflicts and emotions that he isn’t showing to others. He’s a stoic character. So I am really thrilled to get to read Part 6.

In manga world, I picked up a new one called After-School Bitchcraft. Now, it has a terrible title since our heroine Ririka is not a bitch. I feel like the Japanese author didn’t quite understand what the word means. She is in the gyaru (GAL) sub-culture. These are the fashion girls, obsessed with clothes, dying their hair blonde, being real tan. But she’s not that superficial. She’s friends with them, but she wants to be a vet really bad. She’s an airhead, but she’s one who wants to heal animals and take care of them. She has a drive to better herself, to learn and get good grades so she can achieve her dream.

The only problem, she’s having trouble getting chemistry. So when the new, apathetic chemistry tells his class who aren’t paying attention to him (she’s clearly at one of the lower-rank Tokyo high schools) that if they have questions, to come to see him, he doesn’t think they will. Which is fine with him. He only took the job so he can have a lab to work on his magic. In the middle of summoning something, Ririka walks right through his wards and interrupts his spell to ask him help to study.

Ririka, our airhead heroine, has a huge capacity for magic. And if she can’t control it, that will be bad. This manga has a mix of magic, fanservice, and a heroine you really find yourself rooting for. She’s so earnest in her desire to be better than she is. To step beyond her limitations. Plus, she’s cute.

Some great girls released on iStripper this week. An Eva Elfie, a Liya Stark, and a hot card from Alya Stark, but I have to say Martina Smeraldi’s first card, Younger Than Springtime, was amazing. She’s sexy and she has a great ass. Just an amazing rump. She’s cute and delightful.

A perfect card for spring time!

Week two of the quarantine is upon me. My roommate is going crazy. His business is shut down and his job is not one we can do from home. He finally has time to play all those video games he buys and to watch TV shows, but he’s going stir crazy.

In the meantime, there is manga to read! I got some new ones in right before the quarantine. I just finished reading Creature Girls: A Hands-On Field Journal in Another World 3.

This is one hot monster girl harem manga. Daisuke is from our world and has ended up in a fantasy world. He’s a biology college student,s and he’s fascinated about all these monster girls. He’s eager to examine them as intimately as possible. And they are more than willing to let him after he starts using his engineering knowledge to improve their lives. From spider girls to harpies to mermaids, he’s getting monster girl pussy left and right.

This manga is borderline porn. It’s also full of lots of scientific stuff with the author going into plausible explanations on why monster girls, and monsters in general, can exist without magic. Often the text explaining these concepts is accompanied by hot monster girl sex.

It’s a fun and stimulating manga!

Then I went onto reading Parallel Paradise. It’s another etchi manga. Yota is a high school student crushing on his childhood friend. He’s staring at her in class when a strange figure in bloody robes and a hat that hides its identity. The figure tackles him out a window.

He wakes up in a fantasy world where a female night with a three-legged songbird finds him. When she realizes he’s a man, she attacks with her sword. But she also gets so turned on by him, that she literally is gushing pussy juices. It’s soaking through her panties like she’s pissed herself, but she hasn’t.

You see, in this world, no man has been seen in 3000 years. The women are not prepared to deal with one. Their bodies get out of control with lust. They need Yota to do something about it. This leads to some hot stuff.

It also is intriguing. Why have all the men vanished? Why do girls emerge from this castle? A few other mysteries I won’t spoil. I’m interested in what’s going to happen next.

Do You Love Your Mother and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attack Light Novel Volume 5 is out! I LOVE this series. It is hilarious. A great parody of isekai and harem anime. It’s the basest for the popular anime.

Masato is a young man. In high school, he just wants to play video games and not be bothered by his doting mother. Mamako, his mother, looks like she’s twenty (and can pass for a schoolgirl in the right clothes). She’s a gorgeous MILF who just wants to be the perfect mother to her only son. When Masato is offered a chance to beta test a video game where the players enter the computer, he leaps at it. Little does he know it’s a poorly managed project by the Japanese government to strengthen the bonds between children and their mothers.

His dreams of going to a fantasy world are crushed as not only is his mother along with him, but her two-hit, multi-target attack decimates every monster before he can even get an attack in. It’s one hilarious situation after another. And all the normal catching the heroine in the bath or accidentally seeing her panties or her naked all happens to his mother much to Masato’s horror. So Mamako is the center of all the fanservice stuff.

Great series. Eager to get into Book 5.

I outlined the first novel in Dungeon Builder’s Naughty Harem! This will be the series that replaces The God’s, Passionate Love. For Patreon fans, you’ll be able to read this series early in a few weeks for only $1. It’s a fantasy harem series with monster girls, action, and a mystery. It’s also an Isekai, where it’s a character from our world who ends up in a fantasy world.

Leo Baldwin will have to build a dungeon, protect his monster girls, and fend off from both rivals and adventurers! At the same time, he’s going to enjoy the sexy beauties that will join his harem and fight at his side!

I played D&D on Saturday for the first time in five or six years. It was really great. It’s set in a Dragon Age setting. I rolled a Level 5 Human cleric. I went war domain and he was kicking some ass with his greatsword and a buff spell or two. It’s 3.5 edition, which took me back to my twenties. It has been a long time since I had an afternoon away from work (not that I don’t love writing erotica all day).

Doing it over the internet was different (so social distancing was being maintained). And my headset is not comfortable to wear for hours, but it was still a blat.

It looks like a once a month game. The DM is a writer friend of mine. She does the covers and graphic design for some of my fantasy novels. You’ll see her work on the upcoming release editions of God’s Passionate Love.

This week on iStripper we had some great releases. But Redheaded Jia Lissa – YYou Belong to Me was a clear winner. She is one hot redhead (a weakness of mine). She’s petite and hot and playful. She always has the right sort of smile to melt your bones! In COVID days, she’s the sort of radiance that can make things brighter!

I am now under quarantine! Which means I have to stay at home writing erotica. So… not much really has changed for me other than my roommate’s going to be around. His job is “non-essential” and his anime store is now closed. I had gotten used to having the house to myself most of the time…

Oh well.

Hope you all are staying safe and sound wherever you are!

I have finished God’s Passionate Love! All three books are written! I typed The END. Always a strange moment when writing a long story. It’s like a weight falls off of you along with an emotional rush.

I am thrilled. It came out pretty good. Nothing is ever the way you imagined in it your mind. It’s always imperfect, but I’m satisfied.

Triage X Volume 18 arrived just in time for Washington State to go under quarantine. I am a big fan of this series. It’s got wild action and violence, a main character who’s more than willing to get his hands dirty, and plenty of anime titties. An outrageous amount of anime titties.

Triage X is about Black Label, a medical vigilante unit founded by a doctor that believes triage needed to be extended beyond the hospital. To the criminals. Those who don’t deserve to live, the worst of the criminals, need to be put down.

Arashi is the newest recruit. A young man who wants to see evil punished. Willing to do whatever it takes to get the mission done. With him is Mikoto, who has her own dark reasons for wanting to be a vigilante, and the perky and playful Orhia. By day, she’s a pop idol, by night she’s sneaking off to kill criminals.

It’s an adrenaline-fueled ride. Volumen 18 ended on a huge cliff-hanger. Eager for 19. The characters are great. The action is intense, and the fanservice is abundant!

And then World’s End Harem 8 showed up. Love this series. It is full of hot, harem sex.

In the future, Reito is a young man in love with a girl named Eliza. They are both medical students in college. He’s scared to confess his feelings to her because he’s been diagnosed by a rare and new disease. It will kill him soon so he has to go into cryostasis. Medical AI predicts they’ll figure out a cure in the next five years. But he gets the courage and tells her. Eliza says she’ll wait.

He goes into cryostais and awakens to find out that the world has changed. A mysterious disease has killed every man save those who went into cryostasis. The world is run by women. Only those with Reito’s rare disease has an immunity to the MK Virus. He’s the second man to be awakened and all hopes of humanity’s survival rest on him. They want him to breed. He wants to find the woman he loves, but Eliza has vanished in the chaos of the last five years as society worldwide has nearly collapsed. He decides to find her and to find a cure for the virus.

So that’s your typical anime protagonist who has a chance to screw a bunch of women but declines. Luckily for us readers, the other guys don’t have these problems. So as Reito looks for a cure and faces naught temptation, the other surviving men are having their fun. Lots of sex. In fact, Part 8 has a mother and daughter tag-teaming a guy. So it has a great story and lots of sex.

A wonderful series.

Seriously Seeking Sister! Ulitmate Vampire Princess Just Wants Little Sister (Plenty of Service Will Be Provided!). Now isn’t that a mouthful of a title. It’s the light novel I’m reading. It’s fun and cute. I was hoping for a bit more yuri in it, but it’s more wholesome.

Ritsia is a true blood vampire, the youngest daughter of the king. All she wants is a little sister that she can dote on the way her family dotes on her. But her parents are just refusing to have another kid. So she embarks on a plan to go into stasis for a few decades to show her family she’s serious. A few decades is nothing in the life of beings that live for a thousand or more years.

Something goes wrong. She is in stasis for far, far longer. When she’s awakened by a young adventure, she learns that it’s been a thousand years since the vampires vanished and the world has changed. But now Ritsia has a chance to find her a little sister. Or more.

She’s a bit of an airhead, but she has a lot of heart. The book gets super real in the middle with some dark stuff.

Avery – Back In Your Heart is the iStripper card of the week for me. There were some great cards, but Avery just had this sensual cuteness about her. She’s sexy and playful. Just a delight to watch.

At the very last moment, the trip to Japan canceled as they are about to start quarantining US travelers. Oh, well.

This week I read Magika Swordsman & Summoner 12. I am a big fan of this series. Sexy anime girls, magical battles, and harem. Our hero, Kenji, lives in a Japan were magical monsters are attacking the world. The Japanese have turned to the 108 Pillars of Solomon, a group of demons, to bond with summoners. Up until now, they have all been female.

Until Kenji.

He’s the king summoner. His naughty demon’s powers mimic others. But first, he has to bond with them. He has to increase their relationships to the point that they will bond with him. To facilitate this, he has to move into the Witche’s Castle, the most elite all-girls dorm at his magical school.

Naughty antics follow.

This manga series was what got me back into reading manga again after only keeping up with Berserk for years. I am looking forward to Part 13.

Since I consumed Magika Swordsman & Summoner, I have turned to the Ranma 1/2 manga.

My Asia figure from High School DxD arrived in the midst of the quarantine. She is such a cutie. I am glad to finally get a figure of her even if it’s not in her nun outfit.

But she’s looking gorgeous. She’ll be looking great on my shelf beside some of the other figures. During these crazy days, you got to find the simple pleasures in life.

Finished listening to The Way of Kings and on to Words of Radiance

I’m off to reading Division Maneuver Vol. 2 – Binary Heroes Light Novel. Things are getting desperate for humans. This series continues to be full of fan service and desperate battles for the survival of humanity. Things get nuts in this one.

It is a rare light novel that makes me genuinely worried that a character is going to die. Important characters. Ones that I’ll miss. I’m getting it in this one. I’m liking it a lot. I am glad those big boobs on the first novel’s cover attracted my attention.

I really like this series. It’s only two novels, but they are great. I highly recommend this one.

Liya Silver & Jia Lissa – Diver Down dual card popped up on Friday. Two of the sexiest ladies on iStripper together getting naughty with each other.

Bikini. Oil. Redhead. It has it all. My favorite card for the week.

Still on track for my trip to Japan. I fly out in a week (Monday, the 23rd). I know the world is getting crazy, but Japan is not as crazy as where I live. I’m taking my laptops with me. If I get stuck in Japan or quarantine, I’ll still be writing.

Stories will still be released. I’ve been working extra to have content ready for publication over the eleven days I’m gone.

Things are getting crazy at the stores around here. Hope you all are stocking up on the necessities. My governor just shut down all the restaurants for dine-in. Take out and delivery only.

The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation out of Debt (Hey, How About Treason?) Volume 1 was a bust. No etchi fun for the first 3/4 then I just got bored. No stakes. While the main character and the girl had playful banter. And while it’s funny that circumstances are conspiring to make him into a leader, it just had no stakes.

I’m now reading Division Maneuver Vol. 1 – A Hero Reincarnated Light Novel. It has a really busty chick on the cover, so I went for it!

And I’m loving it.

That cover was not a tease. It’s a cute, busty girl in a skin-tight outfit that keeps falling all over our main character. Her big, luscious tits keep engulfing his face. She’s even spawned her own “dere” subgenre: warrior dere. She’s the best fighter in school, but around our MC she gets all dere-dere (cute and adorable and embarrassed by her feelings).

Our main character is the Hero. He was the best pilot using this magic-technology to create armor and weapons. Aliens invaded and he flew into their portal and mortally wounded the queen. He also died in the process. As he died, he realized the queen would come back in 20 years. His desire to defeat is so strong, his soul enters a baby being born. He has a second chance.

Only on round two, he’s no longer the strongest magic users in the world, he’s the weakest. Just an enthralling book. Probably going to go onto the second book next week!

Started reading To Love Ru, the original manga. It’s the first two volumes bundled together. Lala is cute. The story is funny. It’s got some fun titties in it. Overall, I’m going to continue this one. Still reading it, but I’m going to get it done, too.

Lala is a princess from Deviluke, a planet with aliens who look human but have a devil tail. She has come to earth to escape all her suitors. She’s the daughter of the Emperor of the Milky Way. When she accidentally lands naked in Rito’s bedroom, she has found the man to be her husband.

But Rito has it bad for his childhood friend Haruna. All his plans to make her his girlfriend are backfiring thanks to the cute and adorable Lala shameless declaration of her emotions.

Jia Lissa – I’m On was my favorite card on iStriper that came out this week. And there were some good choices out there this week. There was a great Ellie Leen one and Liya Silvers is always a tattooed goddess, but redheaded Jia edged them both out. Plus, she’s got those thigh-highs on. Just yummy.

Hope everyone’s staying safe with Corona-Chan out there. There are a few cases in my area, but things are still calm. (My friend who works at the USPS sorting facility in Federal Way told me someone at the other end of his building has it. So far, he’s fine. Which is good, since he’s one of my friends going with me to Japan on the 23rd.)

Writing’s going well. Next Son of Lust is on the way for those who are fans. Ultimate Harem Fantasy 2 is with my editor (the same guy who edited the Devil’s Pact years ago) and on Saturday, I started writing Ultimate Harem Fantasy 3.

The response to Book 1 has been great! Thank you all! I hope you’re eager for more from Marcus and his harem of sexy RPG ladies. We have a cute halfling joining the fun in Book 2!

I read Kisses, Sighs, and Cherry Blossom Pink Collection, a thick manga with various yuri (lesbian) tales at an all-girls high school. They’re cute and fun stories about girls finding love for each other and getting a little naughty. It’s by Milk Moringa. I really liked her Gakuen Polizi series. That one was a lot of fun.

I enjoyed these sweet tales of high school girls kissing in out of the way corners. It’s mostly about Nana and Hitomi and the trials of their relationship, but there are other girls swirling in the background. Really enjoying it.

And this will clear another manga off the stack of them in my bedroom that I’ve been accumulating since I got back into them.

I started reading The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation out of Debt (Hey, How About Treason?) Volume 1. It’s one of the many light novels I have. Seems to be one of those tactical ones. Our prince is a lazy guy named Wein. He just wants to enjoy life, not rule his bankrupt nation after his father falls ill. He has Ninym (our cute heroine) to keep him on the straight and narrow. They have some funny banner.

And a little sister character has shown up. The art in the book has some nice anime titties in it, a nice topless shot of Ninym, so here’s hoping for some etchi fun in this light novel.

I got a new figure in the mail today. A sexy schoolgirl named Sari Utsugi. She’s an original character. The naughty ones usually are. I must have ordered her a year or longer ago, so it’s always a fun surprise when one shows up.

This week in Amazon, stories are getting published without covers! The Incubus’s Naughty Harem Collection 5 spent a day on amazon without it’s the best piece of marketing. It’s bad enough that Amazon has a stranglehold on indie publishing, but do they have to fuck up something as simple as showing the book properly?

Thanks, Amazon!

Avery “Siren Song” was the sexiest card released on iStripper this week. In a bikini, all nice and oiled up, she is such a sweet thing to watch prancing across your desktop. There were a lot of good cards this week, but she stood out!

I started reading Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf Vol. 3. This is both an isekai and reverses isekai series. The main character, Kazuhito, has been traveling to a fantasy world that works like an MMORPG since his childhood in his dreams. Every night, he continues his adventures. One of his friends is a cute elf named Mirabella. One day while poking in a cave in the other world, the awaken a dragon.

Not happy, the dragon unleashes her flames and kill them both. Of course, for Kazuhito, when he dies in the other world, he just wakes up in his bed and will respawn the next time he falls asleep. This time, the elf girl he’s hugging wakes up with him.

Now he gets to share Japan with a cute elf girl by day, and adventure with her in a fantasy world by night! It’s a cute series with some fun action and some slice of life mixed in. Mirabella is adorable and there is a naughty MILF in this, too. But I won’t spoil who she is. 😉

I finished reading all of the Sekirei Manga this week. What a ride this story is. It has lots of harems going on as various men have groups of hot and cute women that they bond. With 108 of them, there’s plenty to go around. Musubi continues to be my favorite.

I like the ending. There’s some time spent on the wrapup and even a bonus manga that covers a bit of the time jump and gives more closure for the secondary characters.

All in all, it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad I picked it up. Fighting, great anime tits, and sexy girls abound in this series. If you get a chance, check it out in one of its incarnations!

In honor of the fourth Stormlight Archive book having a release date in November, I have started listening to The Way of Kings. at 45 hours, it’s going to keep me occupied for a while. I rather enjoy this epic fantasy series. I enjoy the magic system and the characters. If you want to really dig into a long series, this is a great one to read. Of course, we’re not even halfway through it. Brandon Sanderson said it’s 10 books, but really two five-book series.

Michael Kramer and Kate Redding bring it to life. They both are great for fantasy audiobooks.

This week at iStripper so the release of the always sexy Melena Maria Rya, who has some of the hottest cards. THis time, she’s being a naughty girl playign with her stuffed unicorn. It is one hot card. I will admit that Eva Elfie (another fav) had a hot card, too. Her NieR Automata cosplay show is naughty, but sexy Malena just edged her out.

I am busy getting ready for my Japan trip (assuming the coronavirus doesn’t cancel it) at the end of the month. My plane flight is getting emptier by the day, but my friends are committed to going! It may be a huge mistake, but we’re going to make it together!

Started writing my third fantasy series. It feels like the worst thing I’ve written. I’m like 15,000 words in and wondering if this is a mistake. If no one’s going to want to read it. The ebook market is so glutted, it’s so hard to get traction if you don’t have a fan base, and I’m second-guessing if this is the right story to even try to get one.

I started reading If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord 1 and I gave it up. Hoping for more lone wolf and cub thing, and it was way to slice of life. It’s about a guy who finds a half-starved demon girl in the woods near her father’s corpse. He takes her in and wants to help her out.

That’s fine.

But while he’s going out on his adventures, the story sticks with the girl as she helps out around the inn that he lives in…

Nearly halfway through, and there’s no conflict other than the mystery of what happened to her father and left her in the woods. That could work if there was any real tension or the story was focusing on unraveling the mystery, but I gave up when it started talking about her peeling potatoes.

So I started reading Her Majesty’s Swarm Vol 1, a Light Novel written by 616th Special Information Battalion. The Japanese are weird. And this is a play on the isekai trope. But instead of entering a fantasy world or MMORPG, our queen enters her favorite RTS (Real-Time Strategy) Game. It’s a mix of Warcraft 3 with the fantasy setting and the hero unit mechanic and Starcraft since she’s playing a zergling-like race.

No longer playing her favorite faction, she now commands them as their leader. But what she supposed to do now with her Swarm? I’m still reading this one, but I’m liking it so far. I’m curious to see where the author will take this premise.

I finished listening to The Licanius Trilogy on Audiobook! It was great to listen to this trilogy. It has a lot of visions of the future, time travel, and more, so listening to it in a row really helped to see how the story fits together better.

It is a great fantasy trilogy that gets into how can you have free will if God knows everything you’re going to do. Does that make you a slave? Just because you know how you’ll die does that make your choices meaningless? Things like that.

It’s a series that doesn’t hold your hand. You are as confused by events as the characters but you feel answers are there. And they make sense. It’s a puzzle that James Islington assembles for you over three books until it all fits together at the end.

Really satisfying ending.

Might listen to The Martian next while I figure out another long series to delve into. One of my favorite sci-fi stories. It makes a fun audiobook, too.

I don’t know if any of you have heard of iStripper, but I’m a fan. It’s a program that lets you get girls stripping and dancing around on your computer. Ellie Leen had a new card come out this week. God, she is cute AF. Definitely, my favorite card released this week, and it was a good week with some great new shows coming out.

More fun problems from Amazon! The fun of publishing with them! For some reason, my original story The Incubus’s Passions Unleashed (The Incubus’s Naughty Harem 14) has material someone else published. They kicked my book back to draft (an unpublished state) and then I have to wait hours for the automatic email to get sent and tell me what the problem is. This isn’t a big one. They just want me to proactively claim it’s all mine by republishing it.

But it’s always stressful waiting to find out this stuff. Amazon just nukes people’s publishing accounts and keep all the money you’ve made that they haven’t paid you (up to two months worth of royalties).

Oh, and my car battery was dead. Winter and not driving it much have prevailed. It jump-started find, so here’s hoping I don’t need a new battery.

On weight loss front, I am getting away from snacking. So that’s good. And I lost nearly 5 pounds this week!

In my mainstream fantasy writing, I finished editing my second fantasy series. So that’s more than a little emotional.
