That's more 1's per 1 than number 1.

Trauma is literally the engine driving her magic so, to paraphrase Strongbad: Flagrant Fiction Error World Over. Trauma = Very Yes. But she does get a fainting goat who adores her, so she's got that going for her.

Bot-bitching post ahead: Just got this one from FF.net inbox- "This fandom". I don't even rate a scammer that uses the GOOD bots? WTF? Nobody wants to put in the work anymore. Bot bitching post END.

*thock* Was that a pokeball? A what? I just filled a tennis ball with rocks.

A wild Natalie appears! Natalie used Empty Flattery ...It wasn't very effective.

MASH, Firefly, and Hitchhikers Guide are probably the three biggest influences, if not exactly “inspiration”

Much as I hate to add to the Trauma Olympics, I actually don't hate it so let's go: •Indoctrinated child soldier •Trained to fight devils •Nuke ability is literally weaponized trauma •Watched her first squad die one by one over the course of days •Blames herself for each one •Dove headfirst...

I did...but you can't tell the sites that the prologue is Chapter 0, the overall effect was basically "Chapter 2:Chapter 4". Not confusing at ALL...

As the title says: boring navel-gazing ahead. Viewer discretion advised. Okay, so I have a pretty long commute every morning and today as I was watching the highway go by I think I stumbled on the answer to something that had been bugging me. Isekai. I don't get it, not a fan. Absolutely NOT...

I guess...any codified practice relating to combat between individuals, as distinct from "the art of war" as in strategic practice for waging large-scale conflict. I suppose that could be pretty vague though. Is it only the traditional hand-to-hand and melee weapon combat? Do guns count? They...

Thanks! I hadn't thought of posting on my SH profile, actually. I guess I didn't realize people even look there.

Yeah, I figured the odds of the reader actually being from Japan AND coming here to see it were slim to none. It costs nothing to try though. Plus I think this post got someone from Singapore to start reading too. So, hello Singapore!
