It's a me. I'm an aspiring light novel writer hoping to one day see my works in anime form. I hope that my works at least brighten up your day and give you something to look forward to.

Author's Commentary #469:

Time to talk about Chapter 469: Bald freakout.
For some reason, the Freddie Freaker jingle plays in my head whenever I read the chapter's title. Anyway, more bald. That's all.

No really, I don't know what else there is to talk about other than more bald. Though I guess I can try making estimates as to how long it'll take to get to 6B. Right now, I'd estimate maybe two week's worth of chapters, subject to change as I might decide to add some more lore bits. In terms of bald chapters, I'd say no more than 5 maximum, and after that, the lore chapters should go by quickly. It all depends on whether I decide to do Okisato's backstory first, or save it until after 6B. Either way, it will appear soon in the series.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #468:

Time to talk about Chapter 468: Trapped in a trance.
After 5 months, in IRL time, Rasputin's spell has finally taken effect. All he beat in his dance, with the exception of Vesna who was under no hypnosis whatsoever, are now set to participate in 6B. I will confirm that had Muazzez not gotten to the salon when she did, she'd have been forced to come anyway via the trance signal. And on that note, the trance-like state won't last much longer as it's served it's purpose of bringing it's targets to the salon for 6B.

Going back to the topic of Rasputin, before I decided to introduce him to the story, 6B itself was merely a small-scale one-off chapter or two. While I was planning to make 6B more important than originally planned before I thought up Rasputin's character, I'd argue his introduction is what ultimately made me decide to make 6B's true purpose much darker and to tie it to something I've had planned for a while. As for what that is, you'll just have to speculate as I won't be offering hints or insights until more things are revealed in the story.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #467:

Time to talk about Chapter 467: Pied piper.
Another instance of me really wanting to use a certain chapter title, this one offers a glimpse at the British commonwealth teams and how they plan to tackle 6B. Considering their significance due to essentially all being part of the Fairy league, I felt dedicating a full chapter to them was necessary.

It also allows me to better showcase Tonka, who prior until I even posted artwork of her, had no major role planned for her in this story. Now, however, it's clear she's got ties to the mysterious Deep Blue, meaning she'll have a bit more importance overall. Speaking of which, it's becoming obvious at this point that there's a nefarious nature to the 6B tournament. All I'll say is that Deep Blue likely has a part in it, but I won't go into any more detail until more is revealed about them in the series.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #466:

Time to talk about Chapter 466: Finishing up discussion of DSPCMs.
Finally, all the DSPCMs have been discussed, but knowing me, I'll likely edit this like the other DSPCM discussion chapter. This also marks the moment members of the Babylonian women's team appear in the story. While I won't do bios just yet, I will give some insight into the creation of the Babylonian team.

First off, the original vision for the Babylonians was that they were just evil robot scientists, but with a legitimately evil and irredeemable scumbag in the form of Olavi, leading them. I didn't like that idea, thus, I gave Babylonia a complete overhaul, leading to all the members of it's women's team being reassigned to different teams.

In the first redesign, I mostly nailed down the new members, or so I thought. The big point of contention was a certain character with a cool design, who I just didn't know what to do with. This ended up being resolved last-minute, as Taslima ended up replacing said character purely by chance due to me playing round with making characters and thinking that this new character I just created would work perfectly for Babylonia. After that, everything fell into place.

One final thing to note is that I'm probably going to cap the new characters that'll appear in the arc. While I did get a spark of inspiration to create many new characters, I'm quickly finding it to be more of a detriment as it's difficult to juggle all these new characters. I also have many characters I made art of and yet to introduce properly, many of whom I feel will only get minor cameos at best, even though they may become important later down the line. I'd love to explore some of these characters more, along with some of the characters already introduced, but for now, my main focus is simply to finish this season of the story.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Ah yes, Anima. I've held off on reading more of part 3 until you reach it in the rewrite, but I do have to ask if anything happens with Anima in parts 3 or 4. I really want to know when she'll finally get out of Yalda's inventory.

Author's Commentary #465:

Time to talk about Chapter 465: Smooth heads and sadistic stylists.
This chapter came about solely for the purpose of releasing on June 9th, aka 6/9 Day. As such, I felt the chapter should be fanservicy which is why Inkeri decides to strip. Vampire milf Sabina also gets shaved, and I'm not going to go into any more discussion on my poorly disguised fetish. One thing I will discuss is Nikolina.

It came about a few months after she debuted in the story, but I decided that due to her trauma from infancy, Nikolina would have pyrophobia. Not just that, but anything that reminds her of the burning sensation she felt from nearly being burned alive triggers her too. I imagine some might view Nikolina negatively due to her stance on Kosovo, and view her as more of a one-dimensional character. My intent is to make her a more complex character.

As such, I was debating devoting a chapter to going more in depth about Nikolina's past as she was shaved, but burnout has just been getting to me. In fact, I dare say this burnout might be the worst I've felt in the entire series. I think most of it has to do with the bughouse games just being exhausting to make, and I haven't even written out that many. I do feel like I might end up taking a break, but I really want to finish this season first, which sadly contributes to my burnout. Regardless, I still feel that despite some hiccups here and there, this season has some of the best chess in the whole series.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Time to talk about Chapter 464: Smooth soothing.
Essentially part 2 of the previous chapter, this one also has little to discuss, except for Melisha's actions themselves. I don't want to discus it too much, but her interactions with Noa actually is really important.

That being said, I imagine some might skip over these chapters, which is fine since I already left some other important bits in regards to Melisha sprinkled in earlier parts of the story. But those that choose to read through the shaving chapters or at the very least this one will get a better sense of where things are going with Melisha's character in the series.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #463:

Time to talk about Chapter 463: Drop-off policy.
Welp, not much to talk about. Just more teams getting shaved bald. Though while one might think I'm enjoying writing chapters like this, it's actually been the opposite.

Burnout has really been effecting me more than I thought, which I'd primarily pin on the fact that I'm trying to show more than I should for this segment leading up to 6B. This is largely due to me trying to give all the characters a spotlight.

Of the chapters I have written, I imagine there won't be too many more before 6B arrives, with most of them mainly being lore chapters rather than shave chapters. I'm not sure how many of these there will actually be, but it will likely be a handful as I do want to finish 6B and move onto the next round of the tournament in the story.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #462:

Time to talk about Chapter 462: Discussing DSPCMs with Smoothie Q. Mifsud.
Since I wasn't able to cover all the DSPCMs last time, I decided to rectify that this time. I have been editing some into the original chapter it was discussed, Chapter 386: Discussing DSPCMs after all, but I feel that there's only so much I can edit into that one, thus I decided to have the remaining DSPCMs from the competing teams discussed here.

I was originally going to have Kisha do this solo, but since Mifsud's there, it makes sense for her to commentate as well. She even gets to take over as host thanks to Bruno, but sadly her intent is malicious. Remember, Mifsud may act cutesy, but deep down she's a cold and bitter woman. I don't think she'll come to be one of the most hated characters overall, but she'll certainly be one of the more memorable ones in the series.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.

Author's Commentary #461:

Time to talk about Chapter 461: The roster taking shape.
Essentially part 2 of checking in on all the women's teams. As such, there's little for me to discuss. One thing I can talk about is that the reason there are so many women's teams is for a few reasons.

First off, there was Japan and any country that finished in the top 10 and/or had one of their members win a medal in the IRL 45th Chess Olympiad this arc is inspired from had to be added, meaning at least 23 teams, regardless of if I was already planning on adding them, were added. Next were any nations not part of the aforementioned group that had major characters hailing from them such as France and England to name a few. And finally, teams I hadn't planned for, but was inspired to add for one reason or another whether it be because I just felt like it or was inspired by some music.

And that eventually lead to over 500 characters being created, and I'm still adding more, not to mention I still need to finish up art for some of the men's teams that have already appeared. One certainty is that you can expect new characters I created literally days ago to pop up frequently in this story.

That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
