When you have over 1200 donors it gets hard to keep everything locked in the zero dimension. The version of volume 11 currently making the rounds on LN aggregator sites is a draft version that never went through the final editing process (it’s also missing some cool things along with the afterword). Just because something is finished doesn’t mean it’s necessarily ready for public consumption. So the context and meaning of certain things are different. Anyways enjoy the volume as it was originally intended to be consumed.

I kinda just wanted to post a picture of Vasaline but that would be doing volume 11 a disservice. The twin pillars of Uesu’s writing are entertaining service scenes and entertaining action scenes. Whether you’re reading the lewds, the battles, the politics, or even the mundane slice of life stuff it’s difficult to find yourself bored. Uesu was able to give all of the characters a chance in the lime light to show their stuff. I really like the way that Uesu brings everything full circle with Banishing Shift, Basara’s original sin, and a very specific lesson taught to him by a certain goddess all come together at a specific point in the volume.

As I tell people all the time. Volume 11 is the perfect anime ending for the series. Outside of the two bombshells that Uesu drops. Everything else is wrapped up in a satisfying way. I hope other authors take some notes because this is how you write a true harem ending.

I wanted to switch things up a bit and give you guys something new following my informative April fools. Since it’s still Thursday here I decided to go with the prologue to Yarisugita aka Overdone. Anyways I for one think it’s a unique spin on the whole Isekai craze. Since we’re still under quarantine I’ve been getting back into it especially since one of our is currently working on it. I’ll probably add more onto this post later tonight.

We lost a good one folks. Dude voiced some great anime characters and the best 2D dad ever. If S3 happens his successor will have some pretty big shoes to fill. I might have to look through some of my BD extra material, because I vaguely remember reading one of Uesu’s interview’s where he visited the studio when they were doing the voices . I’m pretty sure Uesu tells a story about either Sugita or Keiji Fujiwara.

I’m sorry but I couldn’t resist lol

So you made it to the end of SWEET and can fully appreciate what Basara and company are fighting for and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of that. Keep the part where Basara is thinking in the back of your head going forward when reading the upcoming releases.

Anyways I hope everyone is holding strong in the midst of COVID-19 running rampant around the world. Remember to wash your hands, wear a mask if you leave your house, and practice proper social distancing.

The Secrets of a Certain Competent Maid focuses on Lucia, eroge, the way she views the human world, as well as her relationship with her mother and sister. I’ve personally always liked her because of how different she is compared with Maria and Sheila. There’s this certain in series eroge title that appeared in the beginning of the series actually gets played in this chapter. Lucia has some fairly strong feelings regarding it. I’ll just say keep that in mind for when it pops back up again.

Anyways just a little bit of housekeeping. I will be spending the majority of the day traveling. So in the event you email me and I don’t respond within 2 minutes of receiving your email it’s most likely because I’m in the air.

So have a good one folks and remember to wash your hands so you don’t get Coronavirus!

Succubus Oriental answers the question of what would it be like to go on a date with Maria. Of course everything doesn’t go according to Maria’s plan. It does an interesting job with regards to contrasting the culture of the human world and demon realm when it comes to art, and it further explores the lens through which succubus view the human world. There’s some really good wholesome moments and Maria gets a bit of depth added to her that directly ties into her vow.

Overdone Volume 3 released earlier today on Bookwalker. It will be released on amazon and other platforms February 3rd. I’m in the middle of doing a bunch of formatting for Shinmai related stuff so I haven’t had the opportunity to look at much of it yet. My curiosity did get the better of me and the ending of the volume is wild. If Gohands ends up making an anime and they adapt the first 3 volumes it’s going to be interesting to see how people react to the cliffhanger ending.

Translation will most likely be starting in February btw.

Happy end of the year! Hopefully everyone that participates in the various holidays during this holiday season was able to enjoy them. From what we know canonically, Basara and company end up spending their first holiday together in the demon realm dealing with all the political shenanigans they were forced into. So upon looking at the calendar, I’m pretty sure one of the first culturally important days they get to celebrate together actually happens to be Setsubun. Slayer of The Ogre Slayer fits well with the idea of family spending time together during the holidays. I also updated last months update. If you enjoy Maria and Kurumi together you’ll probably have fun with it. Zest and Yuki also have another interesting conversation that reveals quite a bit about the way Zest thinks.

Anyways I’m going to go enjoy New Years festivities. So have a good one folks.

I hope those of you that are State side had a happy Thanksgiving and hopefully Black Friday deals were kind to you as well. Those of you participating in NNN hold strong, because it’s almost over. Since it’s still NNN I went with The Valentines of Sister New Devil. The majority of the main cast appears. The different approaches the pairings of girls take when it comes to Valentines is interesting. Yuki and Zest score some major waifu points.

In other news, Ookuma has a skeb page (it’s about $500 per illustration). The bad news is Shinmai and Hundred are off limits. He’s not allowed to monetize them, because he can run into rights issues with the IP’s. However I’m looking currently looking into a potential loophole.
