Zodai

My group is stuck on 20. Seems we're having trouble breaking the respawns on the boss levels.

Seen the anime, haven't finished the VN yet. Sekai Project's working on an improved translation which should be coming to Steam sometime. Art-wise there's an argument to be made that as is the usual with Key's earlier works, the art leaves some to be desired. Clannad's one of the better VN-Anime adaptions from what I know. T'was the pinnacle of adaptions before Steins;Gate came along - depending on who you ask, it might still be. I'm still undecided, frankly. Apologies, I'm a bit out of it so this post is a bit poorly worded. General advice says to wait for Sekai's re-translation, but if you can't then just go for the anime. I think.

In terms of anime, Shin Sekai Yori is really strong art-wise. As is anything by SHAFT.

Running through the Monster Game, the enemies on level 10 won't stop respawning ;-; Anyone gotten past there? Nevermind, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! PUSH FORWARD!

Confession: The Steam Summer Sale begins in 10 minutes, and I set my alarm specifically for this event.

Let me think for a moment. In-general the off-standard format makes it a bit difficult to read. It just serves to be confusing rather than making the story more engaging as a whole. If you want to make emphasis, I would suggest referring to ITALICS and capitals, and PERHAPS changing the font size. It has a high chance of looking stupid, as is the example I've provided, but I think it can be used to a better distinction than the current format. You're definitely trying to place focus on the middle segments but it just leads to the reader being unable to tell which part comes next. Poetry leans much more heavily on the way of pure style and voice than most other writing-related pieces. I'm not one to press exact syllable use, but it's certainly important, even in standard writing. A sentence that flows well can be engaging in and of itself, and this is what poetry is based on. I'd actually say you could do well editing this and doing a bit more - it isn't perfect by any means, but that's what practice is for. Get the formatting to something stronger. Edit this one and maybe get a few more - you can use this for practice in terms of narration style once you jump back into standard writing. It could be a useful tool to add to your usual thematic-heavy stories. Keep in note how much information is conveyed in an individual sentence as well. Efficiency is something important in this case.

Usually, artists tend to get a bit more interested with some information. The language barrier is something to keep in note, though. Give people more information on the project and they're bound to get interested. What's the plot of the story? Aside from that, how long is it? Do you have any plans for how to release it? As for translation, there may or may not be someone interested - if they're working directly with you, someone with a strong sense of writing rhythm and style might actually get it done quite well, since things like character/plot are already thought through. Good luck on the project!

Well, it would make my life at least a bit easier at least. Sadly, it is not so.

So, everyone. This happened. THIS HAPPENED. O_O

Confession: I went out to dinner with my father for the sake of gift cards for the Steam Summer Sale. I can't tell if my opinion of him has improved or not.

I-Is that a tentacle squid lady? -Zodai slowly backs away before calling 911. I mean, usually I would be quite surprised with a female suddenly in my room, followed by what would most likely be something particularly arousing, but I've seen enough hentai to know where this would go.

Confession: Life would be much simpler if the females would approach me instead of the other way around. ><;;

Does that mean you actually got her to agree to a date?

Don't forget your authentic anime-inspired romance charms!

Confession: I feel like romance would be much easier if like 50% of Fuwa's active members were suddenly retconned into being female.

I still love them too, but I'm probably not going to buy the dancing game. Money's a bit tight at the moment and I'd rather spend it on Steam Sales.
