Another glaring flaw of my Saint Series work is its MC, Kuro. He is a prude, and a lot of readers say he is a 'doormat,' or 'beta.'

Well, my culture frowns at unrestricted casual sex prevalent in isekai novels, though I don't deny it is happening in our society too.

Add to that, Kuro's idealism towards his job as a teacher, and he ends like that.

One of the glaring flaws of my work is its format. I've received feedbacks saying it is good, though I originally written the Saint Series with light novels in mind, hence the long-ass, intimidating walls of texts prevalent in that novel of mine.

Well, got no plans to change it. I love writing that way, compared to how I wrote my other novel, Paulina Rex, geared for webnovel audiences.

As an author, I have the benefit of being a teacher, thus, I can observe people's behaviors which I then combine and translate to the personalities of my characters.

I'm a sucker for a dash of realism in my OCs, see?

Another question being asked often to me:

Student: Sir, your drawings are great. Why don't you do comics or manga instead?

Me: I did so before, but writing a chapter without an assistant takes an incredibly big amount of my time. So instead of spending 8 months for a 40-page chapter, I switched to novel. At least I can create a book every other month or two

Also, I think I'll go overboard with my original book count for my novel series. The main storyline was about to reach 21 volumes, once I finished my rewrite.

I planned four volumes for the prequel series, and one for a sequel.

Student: Sir, your story must have many readers!

Me: On the contrary, I struggle to find readers who'd stay till the end.

Student: Then why continue writing for something unpopular?

Me: Nowadays? I want to accomplish something.

Wrote 10k words today. My rewritten V20 is going along just fine.

NGL, I sometimes scale the walls of our school whenever I'm late for class.

I'm the teacher. ??

My students won't stop or take a break while they are doing their activities, even when it's already their recess.

My solution?

I threaten to fail them if they won't take a break. A good study session includes the right time to rest. ??

I nearly locked myself out of my car. Good thing the alarm reminds me when I left the keys inside.

Good car alarm. ???

I love this cute Christmas keychain I brought. The soft glow brings some 'home-y warmth'.

Not to mention, establishing an exercise routine, eating healthy and proper sleep hours, too.

And, letting go of things I have no control. ?

Changing my views on life really helped me recover from my previous breakdown. From being a miser, I started looking on the nice side of things. And being grateful for what I have helps, too.

Yes, there are some things I lack, but I also have things I am thankful for.

Also, I may be a pirate, but using legal MS Office is great. I got it as a free copy bought by my government (I work as government teacher). Having it on my device reduced the things I bring (notebooks, laptop, etc) with me to just my phone, where I type my manuscript drafts whenever I'm on the go.

Note: this is not an advertisement for MS Office.

My "Saint Series" novel is about to reach 21 volumes with a rewritten end to Arc 5. I mean, I really messed up Volume 20, so a rewrite is in immediate order.

So far, I'm 14k words in the new V20. Current V20 will become V21, with some parts also rewritten to match the events in the new V20.

I also apologize to my readers.

Heading to November, I realized I've been chasing things in vain. The worst experiences I had early this year changed my outlook in life, and foolishness caused me to focus on useless stuff, instead of just letting go of events I can't control.

With the current ending of my work, I think a rewrite is in order.

Also, I am currently writing a set of chapters that would push the events of current V20 to V21. It might cause some confusion, but it is a bitter pill I needed to take. At least, I envision the new chapters to 'set things in order' and properly use the elements I brought out in V18 and V19.
