Yes, the crab ruined our fun time.

My face when we wanted that double 🍌🍌 time but got crab blocked:

*sigh* Those crabs are so merciless!

I’m somewhat sad, but what we did get was fun. I was glad to see the Moe Lord and my favorite facial paralysis character enjoying themselves.

Since Eric has the room next to them, I wonder if he was able to sleep that night?

Don’t worry, in the future there will still be more of the good stuff, I promise!

🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 <— count ’em, that’s how many a silly, cute reader will have to handle in one night since the Moe Lord has eight forms.

Thank you for reading. I am currently working on the next chapter of Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me which means that tomorrow there will be no release for The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love.

Double banana trouble

I just wanna say that double bananas are real.

Thank you for reading. Please let me know if you have ever seen/eaten a double banana. 🍌🍌

P.S. I have.

Chapter 86.1 <— click on the link to read it. Thanks to Lorette and anonymous for the donations. With this, the web hosting donation drive is finished and, thankfully, I was able to raise the entire amount just in time to pay for the website hosting this February. That is for one year so see you guys again next year!

I took a break

Just a short break. I tried to do some website improvements but, sadly, they were not successful. In fact, the website even broke one time, in case anyone noticed. I was able to fix it but I decided not to mess with it again.

My asthma is acting up again and I have a slight cough. No worries though, everything is fine. Expect some small delays though.

I saw this amazing artwork and was reminded of our undead Xiu x Du Ze pair. Anyone know if this is from a manga/anime?

Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me

I know people have been looking for the latest release of “Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me.” Sorry for the delay. Right now TRAP is at a very important stage since we are now down to the last 9 chapters. I am concentrating on that. Once it is finished, then I will have lots of time to work on “Every Day the Protagonist Wants to Capture Me.” I will probably be able to release more than 1 chapter per week next month.

Thank you for reading.

The rival and the protagonist

According to the reader, this is supposed to be the final scene when he protagonist and the rival talk about life while they are alone together, right before their duel.

Of course, the novel was meant to be the protagonist’s story and everything in it works towards moving him towards the final goal.

But why do I get the feeling that Eric is much more interested in Du Ze? Eric keeps on staring and talking to some silly, cute person. 😉

Let’s not forget that the son of god has also read the doujinshi.

You know… that same doujinshi that may or may not be responsible for “bending” the protagonist.

😉

Anyway, please read today’s release and let me know what you think. Is Eric interested in Du Ze that way? In the spoiler thread, someone who read the entire thing said that she thought Eric was just platonically interested in Du Ze as God’s Messenger, nothing more. Leave a comment if you can, please. I’m very interested in your thoughts about this.

This is kinda like what I thought Sky City would look like but with more white buildings.

Thank you for reading.

I now have 63% of what I need for web hosting. Last year I didn’t ask for donations since I paid it out of my own pocket then I received enough to pay for it via donations. This year the web hosting renewal is due in February.

Angels and Demons

By the way, I’ve mentioned it before but, just to make it clear to new readers, I think that the author named the “angel” and “demon” races after the Elyos and Asmodian races from the MMORPG Aion.

Image from Aion.

It’s not my fault! Yi Ye Zhi Qiu copied stuff a lot, like the Tree of Life, the 72 demons, etc.

I chose not to use Elyos and Asmodian since the novel is not actually a fanfic of Aion. It would just be confusing to use those terms.

Besides, not everyone knows what they are but everyone knows that demons and angels are, right?

In addition, although the author calls them Asmodians, the members of the demon race in the novel have horns. However, Asmodians, as far as I know, do not have horns.

I’m honestly not even sure why the author wanted to call them Asmodians and Elyos. Perhaps it’s just to avoid the religious connotations of angels and demons?

Image also from Aion.

Thank you for reading.

Fanart

My goodness, look what I found!

Sorry, no idea where the original source is.

I hope everyone remembers this scene. This is the beastkin village when Nina brought Du Ze a meal and confessed to him. Xiu was asleep.

Du Ze had to reject Nina, who was heartbroken. She ran away when she sensed Xiu was waking up. She never appeared to Du Ze again after that, not even to say goodbye.

I wonder how many hearts Du Ze has broken?

There was one time in the elf kingdom when I thought that Ariel was going to confess to Du Ze but Xiu interrupted them.

So what does Old John look like now?

Source

During their first meeting, Old John was described as old and decrepit:

“It was an old mechanical puppet. They could hear its parts clanging at its every step. Though its appearance was worse than the one star mechanical puppets they had seen before, this one had five stars on its chest.”

However, after Xiu learned forging, he upgraded Old John and when Du Ze emerged from the wheel of time, he looked human:

“The Fire Phoenix tweeted then flew up and perched on the shoulder of someone who had appeared without Du Ze noticing him. It was a stranger with brown hair who looked very approachable.”

This time Xiu made a human-type mechanical puppet body for Old John. When Xiu finishes fixing Old John he will be a seven-star mechanical puppet, the highest that Xiu can make. We can tell from this that Xiu does value Old John a lot.

Since there is currently no description, we can imagine for ourselves what he looks like. I think Old John is like a bodyguard/butler so that image above is what I think he looks like now.

An invisible force bound them together

You know what I think? I think it’s like this:

姻缘红线 – the Red Thread of Fate.

In Chinese folklore, the gods supposedly tie an invisible red cord around the ankles of those that are destined to meet. The deity in charge of “the red thread” to be Yue Lao (月老), the old lunar matchmaker god, who is in charge of marriages.

The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. (source)

I’ve even read that some couples have tattooed their pinky fingers with the red string of fate to show that they are always connected to each other.

Xiu and Du Ze are tied by the red string of fate!

Thank you for reading.

Poll! Vote before you read

So do you think Xiu will actually do as he said he would?

Please vote before you read today’s release. What do you think is going to happen now?

Personally, I’m hoping Xiu will just keep a closer eye on Du Ze. I mean, has anyone kept count of how many times Du Ze has been kidnapped? How many times have they have been separated? Not to mention, how many people want to steal Du Ze away from Xiu?
