Why are illustrations for novels different? How many artists did this story?

There's been three different illustrators for the Japanese releases of the novels. They were first illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano; you can see his artwork for novels 1-10, after which the publisher changed from Kadokawa Bunko to Kappa Novels. Shinobu Tanno took over with the illustrations from this point (and also illustrated the earlier books for their editions released with this new publisher). Finally, the Kobunsha Bunko release of the series features illustrations by Yamada Akihiro.

#arslan senki #the heroic legend of arslan #so essentially it's because there are different editions #released by different publishers #and the artist is different for each #yoshitaka amano #shinobu tanno #yamada akihiro

It's out!

After many months of work, I can now plonk the next book in Heralds of Rhimn down in front of you guys!

The previous two books have also gone through some updates now. If you've already bought them, then you should be able to download the new versions from itch.io if you'd like. Mostly, they just look prettier, but there's also some changes to the text.

You won't have to reread them to understand the new book, but it might make the lore a little more coherent, and it'll definitely make certain sideplots hit harder!

Shadow Herald is here.

Winter Herald is here.

And the new book, Ember Warrior, is here!

These books are queer dark fantasy, as always. The new book's a little bloodier than the previous two. Hope you enjoy 'em!

#queer fiction #queer fantasy #wlw fiction #wlw fantasy #dark fantasy #indie books #indie publishing #book release #i know this post won't go too far because it has links in it #but i wanted to make the announcement anyway!#i have some different plans for showing them off in june <3

best part of kiwami 2 was majima saga honestly

i really love his moveset

but damn the blood lineage stuff in kiwami 2 was just weird, might be the japanese having a racist moment or not but it's just not a story element i vibe with , especially considering that kiryu's saga has him being an orphan as a major part of his character and him having found family is a major thematic point with his arc. but the blood ties stuff really clashes with all of that in a way that undermined it

honestly the weakness of the stories in kiwami and kiwami 2 should be attributed to the fact that they're remakes of the first two games and i had a feeling that rgg studios were still working out the characters at the time

also you can tell that the stories and tone are pretty dated to the 2000s

and i actually really like ryuji. his reaction to finding out he has a sister probably is the saving grace of that whole last bit. i don't know why they made him die, it just feels so unnecessary

#ryu ga gotoku #considering the actual production and publishing timeline of the yakuza series spanned several decades #i can't blame the studios for being so inconsistent with their story throughlines characterisations and thematic elements #since yakuza 0 came after 5 games have already released and by then they've learned from previous entries #and matured in their storytelling #but it kinda blows that they won't fully retcon previous story stuff that goes against the foundation of y0 #i also would not be surprised if they had different writing teams for the main story stuff and substory stuff #since even within the same game #there's some pretty glaring clashes between characteristions in some substories and main cutscenes #kiryu's characteristions really suffer in that regard #god i want an anime adaptation that uses y0 as a springboard #but will not directly adapt subsequent entries and instead do its own thing and have a better story #and not let the ball drop on thematic and character arcs #op

ONE. is now available on Steam and should be available on Johren later today. Releases digitally for the Switch tomorrow and has an Asian English physical version.

#ONE.#One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e #One: To the Radiant Season #Nexton #novamicus #Shiravune #visual novel #Switch version from a different publisher is $70 so I can't recommend that one unless you REALLY want it.#I thought it released tomorrow but guess it came a day early at least on Steam.

#and one of them is one of my favorite books 😭#i liked both but the adult one runs laps around the ya one in so many different ways #i have so much more to say abt it but its not as popular 🙄🙄#idk how publishing works but the fact that they were released in the same time frame is so fucked who planned that #they’re different publishers peobably but STILL #books

While chapter 26 of BIME is my favorite, chapter 27 is my death.

Over one year of writing and plotting will finally see the light of the day, and I could not be more scared and emotional about it.

With like more than half of my book done, and the rest set to be finished during nanowrimo, I’m actually beginning to feel more confident about this whole writing thing. Anyway, Y’all mind if I share the blorbos I’ve had running around in my head since freshman year of college?

Finally with updated and completed faceclaims, because they’re like fully formed people now 😌.

#if you are thinking to yourself #liv has a very different vibe going from the rest of these sad bitches #yes 😌#she’s here to kiss women and carry the band #will this ever be traditionally published?#we hope!#but who’s to say #I am not rich #nor do I have connections #yet #anyway #BLORBOS BLORBOS BLORBOS #they’ve existed like solely within my head #and I kind of want to release them into the world #so here 😌

Decided I wanted to try buying the Beyblade manga. Saw how expensive it was how rare the volumes are and now… I want to give up. Yikes.

#VIZ media should do a reprint #or put it together in 3-4 omnibus #or hot take: digitalize it #ramblings #I’ve see some OOP series being picked up by different publishers who are just releasing digital copies

Could it be that you're comparing it to Tfota subconciously in your head when you're reading?

that's fair, and it could be! but i'd argue it's very hard not to compare the two.

now, this is coming from someone who has only read the prologue and first chapter, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but in The Stolen Heir, the world is the same, the POV (first person, present tense) is the same, the overall tone of writing is very similar with similar themes threaded through.

and yet, it's Not Jude. and Oak is Not Cardan.

and i am Not Ready to move on :')

#add to it that it's only been 4 years since the release of QON #Holly has only published one unrelated book in which everything about it was different from TFOTA #my brain is pumping the breaks your honour #asked and answered #nonnie #tfota #the stolen heir spoilers

#I think if she made Carolina a bonus track on folklore the fan reception would have been different #it would’ve been similar to tolerate it in that she mentioned the book by name and as a source of inspiration and that would be that #I think the main issue is that it’s not just a song she wrote for an album but is deliberately tied to the film #I know that the book was and is still incredibly popular and sadly I hadn’t heard about the author’s history before T got involved #I think if more people were aware of the author’s actions the book wouldn’t have had the same success or even gotten published #I think it was a case of someone recommending the book to her and her reading it and connecting to it #I can’t blame her for reading and being inspired and not knowing since I didn’t know about the author #I can understand why/how she felt connected to Kya after the events of 2016 and get that she felt inspired #I’d like to think that if she was aware of the author’s past that she wouldn’t intentionally get involved but who knows #I think the issue is that she made a choice to tie herself to it instead of just being inspired #and when she made that decision she should’ve looked at the author’s history and re-evaluated it #and fans calling out her hypocritical behavior/projects she’s been involved with recently is valid and necessary #with her tying herself directly to the film it boosts the author’s platform although it has been an incredibly popular book since release #I do think Taylor needs to get better with actually following through with what she says/supports and that this was a misstep #but the author getting published in the first place is on the publishers and a whole different discussion #I said it once but I feel like anyone could’ve written the story with the same main themes but w/out the influence of the author’s racism #you can’t really separate the song from the book/movie unless you’re like unaware and hear it with no prior context #I understand why some people aren’t engaging with it because of the bad taste it leaves in their mouths #I don’t think that any money from streams or anything goes to the author/film but to Taylor #but again it boosts the author’s profile/book when it shouldn’t #didn’t want to wade into this discussion until today with everything happening yesterday #did this in the tags because it would’ve been a long post if not

Nooj and aew in competition for "methodology of uploading music to spotify that is most pain in the ass for actually listening"

#my real graps playlist is almost done #anyway aews problem is its all published as singles #and the order of upload is not necessarily in the order the songs debut #so for my purposes (trying to compose a cross promotional hype playlist) its a pain in the ass to find and listen to the songs in a row #nooj on the other hand releases a new album with from what i can tell virtually the same song. every yr #so i felt myself steadily going insane as they promised me no THIS tanahashi theme is different #and also they dont list themselves as the main artist so the albums dont release on their discography page #and the featured on page.....is incomplete #had to find a playlist someone made that just had every single nooj album mass added to it and then make the 800 rainmakers fight

Not everyone likes my book, and I'm OK with that. There are many classic children's books some people just don't like because of their message or how they portray it, but I love them because they offer something a little different.

I made something straight from the heart and took a big chance on it. It caters to no one and breaks many conventions you find in children's books. I wanted adults to be able to enjoy the story as well, so it's not afraid to get a little sad. There were a few children's book bloggers I had emailed who wouldn't review it because of that reason. And there were Read Aloud YouTube channels who wouldn't make a video on it because they didn't like the ending.

But there were also many people who absolutely loved the book. They got what I was trying to do, so I know there is an audience for this sort of thing. The more secluded you feel you are from society the better the chance you'll like it. This isn't the case for everyone but just a trend I noticed. Reviews on Amazon have been overwhelming positive, and hey, my mom liked it too. And the book has sold almost a 100 copies in its first month.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But then again, I also get these drive-by reviews from window shoppers. This is just the reality of trying to do something a bit different with a kid's book. People absolutely judge a book by it's cover.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know how to write things that are guaranteed to sell and make money, but this ain't one of them. Doing what is guaranteed to work gets boring after a couple of years. It's too safe. It's fulfilling work to make a product that people need but also empty at the same time.

This was a complete gamble. I have been publishing on Amazon for the last 8 years now, and I haven't felt this excited since I released my first book. And thinking back on it, that first book was also a bold gamble as well. And it sold very well. Maybe then, that's just the secret to success.

Anyways, the book is on Amazon. You can also find the full story and illustrations on YouTube for free as well. If you would like to support the book, a quick rating on Amazon or Goodreads is one of the best ways to do so.

Just pre-ordered the first volume of Sha Po Lang!!

I normally never pre-order, but god I'm so excited for this release.

#I'm being as enthusiastic as I'm able purchase wise bc I *really* want seven seas to pick up more priest works #I wanna read LY and faraway wanderers #but jumping between different translations kinda stresses me lmao #so it'd be nice if they could get picked up for official release #plus maybe just maybe if priest works start selling really well. a different publisher might someday consider TS #<<(I'm deluding myself)#I love the E Danglars translation and would just buy that hard copy if I could. but I can't #so it'd be real nice to get a licensed english release #like honestly I've fantasized about learning book binding entirely so that I can make a version of TS that I can hold in my hand. augh #also as to spl itself. I'm excited for it!!#it looks like it's probably the most similar of priest's works to TS in terms of subject and setting #but with the addition of a romance. which is interesting #I gotta get back one of these days and finish md so I can move on to a new web novel lmao #I'm SO curious to see what a different xianxia story by priest will be like #... you can tell I'm excited about something when I write 10x the length of the actual post in my tags #invasion of the frogs
