Been running high on fever since yesterday, thought it was manageable, now it got worse, and I've got so much work left and to make it worse, I have a gig tonight which I definitely cannot miss. Fuck my stupid life.

Keep getting rejected and don't have any future plan. Five years from now is so far, what if I die tomorrow. Dying is more close than my future plan.

Started watching the anime adaption of https://mangadex.org/title/61b0d21c...eaucrat-to-villainess-dad-s-been-reincarnated
In episode 2 and continued in 3 the MC "introduces" abacus as "something they use in the far-east to calculate things". My dear author, Japan imported the Chinese abacus 600~ years ago, which they either independently invented 1800~ years ago, or copied from the Middle-East through trade routes, where the abacus was first introduced around 4700 years ago.
Four-thousand-seven-hundred-years ago!
Whether it is slop world building such as, or even quality world building in fantasy, most authors really fail to comprehend how actually ancient our little civilisations are! As a famous example, the Cleopatra (7th!) is closer to our smart phones than the bloody pyramids Egypt is so famous for. Even during ancient times, the people already were aware of how long and detailed our history already is and yet during modern times of plenty of information easily accessible, folk seemingly fail to comprehend, how complicated the long story of humanity has been.
I suppose one day, some twat will write an isekai slop or whatever, where the author will introduce the BLOODY WHEEL to an aristocratic society modeled after late European Baroque era... Just wait and see.

So I'm only hear because I cried, but for the first time in a long while it's for a happy reason. For the past decade or so, since I began taking writing seriously and have been improving, there's been this one story I've been struggling with.
Nah, not like the story I gave up on because it just lost all semblance of itself, this thing has been so hard to... Shape at all I thought it was impossible There's so many characters, so many things which need to be known.
And all of a sudden I watch Inglourious Basterds, Django: Unchained, Hateful Eight Extended Cut, and Apocalypse Now: Redux. and Inspiration hits! For the first time in ten years I finally figured it out!
This is only a big deal for me, aside from the time because this is my oldest character, my most well-developed. But, also the strangest of the lot. I was wrestling with finally giving her her own universe to play in in some other story but. It finally clicked.
I've been waiting and trying for years. Finally! Thanks Tarantino and Coppola.
It's like... I felt like a crazy person all these years, trying to fit a square piece into a circular puzzle. I knew this could work, somehow. Turns out, just start small, and it works. Finally her... incredibly depressing journey begins!

I just saw that Toaru got a new season and I was so hyped but then I looked again and noticed it's a new season of Railgun not an adaption for Index New Testament.. What the hell.

They probably didn't want to repeat the same fiasco as 3rd season, it was only going downhill from even before. Besides, there are too many run-of-the-mill good-for-nothing male protagonists on TV, so they prefer to switch to Misaka since her rip-off (the one from Dandadan) was so profitable.I just saw that Toaru got a new season and I was so hyped but then I looked again and noticed it's a new season of Railgun not an adaption for Index New Testament..

Oh, I have to say something... it's shameful I had to return to the forum to sob about the fact that I've not read manga for a month and maybe I even stop completely.

Only time will tell, keeping up with the forum is a lot of work and I don't want to think how many pages of updates I'll have to check if I want to, at least, be up to date.Are you coming back here to stay and read manga again?
