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 #464:

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.

Author's Commentary #460:

Time to talk about Chapter 460: 6B prep.
There isn't much more to talk about with this one, other than it's offering a glimpse at who will likely be participating in the 6B tournament. I actually debated not showing every team that was eligible, but ultimately decided to go for it, though it won't all be shown in one chapter. Now let's do the bios for the stylists.

セドサスワーヴ (Sedosa Suave) is how Sedosa'a name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is May 9th, which is the day Suave Brands' North American rights were acquired by Yellow Wood Partners LLC.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

サリー・ブレイド (Sally Blade) is how Sally's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is January 5th, which she shares with American businessman, King C. Gillette.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

ライッサ・レイザー (Raissa Razor) is how Raissa's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is October 25th, which is the day Société Bic S.A. was founded.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

リリ・ルシャス (Lili Luscious) is how Lili's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is January 29th. The reason for this is because Greek physician, surgeon, and philosopher, Galen was born in the year 129.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

One of the main reasons I held off on doing these bios was actually because with the exception of Sedosa, I wasn't sure if I was going to change the initial names I gave them. I ended up keeping them, and after finishing their designs, decided to finally do their bios. One tidbit I'll mention about Sedosa is that she used to be included as part of the Misc. Female Players art, but has now been replaced there in order to appear in the art of the stylists. That being said, she is still competing in the main tournament.

As for the stylists in general, I'm not sure what plans I have for them beyond this arc. That being said, I do want to eventually flesh them out, which will likely happen as some of them are SPCMs or DSPCMs. Even for the ones that aren't, I do plan to flesh them out. I don't know how big some of these characters will get, but I do know they'll likely appear again in the series.

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

Author's Commentary #258:

Time to talk about Chapter 258: Smooth as a dolphin.
Author's poorly disguised fetish strikes once more. Unlike last time, I'll make the commentary a bit more productive by focusing on some fun facts, namely the Bosnian Convertible Mark.

Many probably didn't know that's Bosnia's official currency, or that it's abbreviated as KM. In regards to the pricing, that was done to the current exchange rate at the time of me writing the chapter, which was about maybe a few days before the chapter was uploaded.

And speaking of the "Roboticle" debacle, it's based on a true story. One day for my birthday I got a Bionicle set I didn't want, and returned it to buy something else with the money. Later on, I came to regret that decision mainly due to how pricey the set is now.

One other thing I'll mention is that Marianne of the Swiss women's team has been redesigned to now sport basketball attire. This is mainly due to her character being built around basketball as the series progressed, which wasn't originally the case when she was originally designed. Babylonia also got another redesign, but I'll go more in depth about that when Babylonia makes it's proper debut in the story, which will be soon.

Speaking of the story, I'll give some warning that the next chapter is a bit darker, and while it does have some minor foreshadowing, I'll probably recap it anyway later, so feel free to skip over it if it's too dark for you. The chapter after that is normal, so no need to worry about have to skip too far in the series.

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

Author's Commentary #459:

Time to talk about Chapter 459: Edeltraud's interrogation.
As I stated before in my previous commentary, this one's on the darker side, mainly due to the fact that Red Reaper tortures Edeltraud for her failure. This is mainly done to highlight just how brutal Red Reaper can be.

One thing I will confirm is that Red Reaper is holding back his punches, but only because if he punched with any greater force, Caissa's blessing would activate and prevent harm from coming to Edeltraud, thus, Red Reaper holds back so as to inflict the most pain without endangering her life. A similar thing happened with Diederich back when he was released from WWCF HQ after the 6th round.

It bares repeating the Red Reaper can be very cold and cruel, which is what I wanted to highlight here. The others turning on Edeltraud to save their own skins also showcases Edeltraud's lack of respect amongst her subordinates, now superiors as she's been demoted to grunt. This and the bit with Magdalena are probably the two main sticking points from this chapter, which will be brought up again in future chapters of the story.

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