    Author's Commentary #491:

    Time to talk about Chapter 491: If I only remembered my hammer.
    Not much to discuss here. All this chapter really amounts to is checking in on some of the players following 6B. That being said, I do humor the theorycrafting with Kaylee a bit, hinting that just maybe, she was Chaya this whole time. Although if I were to showcase the Simiens thoughts on the matter, they'd think the Chaya they knew was Kaylee all along.

    Anyway, let's talk about some behind the scenes stuff. So Round 9 is complete with the rest of the rounds coming along nicely. Round 10 is still being worked on, but round 11 is almost done. I've also got some of the other non-game chapters written too. I only have about 7 or so games left to write, and once they're done, all the non-game chapters will be written in seconds. What I'm getting at is that I will likely be cutting a good chunk of Pre 6B and re-arranging chapters when I get this done. The chapters I cut will still reappear down the line in filler chapters, but I'll confirm that none of the chapters containing games will be cut. For even better news, I estimate that I can cut Pre 6B down to just 16 chapters, which is a huge improvement. In terms of content, I'm planning to keep all the lore bits and cut back on the shave and Kisha bits. That being said, these updates won't take place until all of Season 7 is fully written, which is about 15 chapters left by my estimates. It's been a long time, but we're finally approaching the end of the longest arc in the series.

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

    Author's Commentary #490:

    Time to talk about Chapter 490: Return to Budapest.
    Originally, this was going to be the finale of the Kaylee fight, but I decided to just have it be all one chapter. This chapter was originally longer, but I decided to split it up in lieu of the Kaylee fight being merged. Not really much to talk about with this one other than some of the characters have hair again and the very beginning of the chapter with Irja and Phantom.

    That bit was actually added in only after I decided to merge the Kaylee fight both to pad out this chapter and tease some future plot points. It's ironic that to the reader, Phantom is a complete bag of mystery while to me the author, I've known everything about this character since the start.

    And now, I'm pleased to say that after just a couple more downtime chapters, round 9 will begin shortly. Like with a majority of the other rounds, this one has been planned since the start, so you don't need to worry about anything like the stuff in round 7 on the men's side.

    On a different note, the series is only 10 chapters away from the big 500. Now if I decide to trim down Pre 6B I still imagine the 500th chapter would fall within Season 7. That ultimately won't be a problem of whether it does or doesn't, because it's designed so that it can be inserted in any arc. I hope you're looking forward to this milestone in the story.

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

    Chapter:490


    Jul 03, 2025

    Time to talk about Chapter 489: Smoldering smidje.
    And peak chess is finally back. The final battle of 6B is here and it really is something. Originally, I had this battle split into two chapters, but decided to merge them together since I felt it was better to keep the flow going. That means that you get to see this entire epic fight from start to finish in a single chapter.

    This game and the bughouse games were the ones I was dreading for the longest time, with my worries with this one being the fact that it's two games at once, so double the work. One thing I will reveal about these games is that both were played against Chess.com's level 25 3200-rated engine bot around late January early February, so I've been sitting on these two games for a while now.

    I'll also reveal the reason this match came to be, and that is the Belgian folk song, 't Smidje. It didn't come immediately, but after listening to it enough, I thought that having a final boss fight of sorts with Kaylee would be epic, and that's what ended up leading me to have her be Melisha. I also wanted to use the fight as a chance for Mimoko to be able to save someone, something she wasn't able to do back during the Michiko incident. I also wanted to use 6B as a chance to increase the stakes during the Chess Olympics as with the tournament format, there's been no chances to implement a chess death match.

    In hindsight, I feel 6B is the weakest part of the story mainly due to Pre 6B. If I get all the remaining chapters for Season 7 done, you can expect to see some major shuffling around as I trim down Pre 6B and insert those chapters in their place.

    And for one final thing, I'll leave it up to reader's interpretation to decipher what Kaylee meant in her last line. I guess I should also clarify she really is dead, though there is a chance she'll appear again in flashbacks. I do also plan to divulge the meaning behind her words as well in a later arc of the story.

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

    Author's Commentary #488:

    Time to talk about Chapter 488: Kaylee and Chaya.
    I wasn't kidding when I said this would be one of the darkest, if not the darkest chapter in the series. What happened to Kaylee and Chaya was completely messed up and inhumane, making it all the more clearer why I said Olavi would be dethroning Kamoshida the piece of shit as the most hated character in the series.

    The crazy thing is that I did watch Your Forma and I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! this past season, yet I came up with the idea of the twins being sliced up and spliced back together long before I even heard of both those series. Though I will admit, they did have some influence on the final draft which you see before you.

    One thing I will elaborate more on is Kaylee's psych. Before meeting Ai, she was actually going around killing people by slicing them up with meat cutters, all while insulting them much like how her experience with Olavi went. But after meeting Ai, she managed to channel all that urge into simply shaving heads, which makes her character look even more messed up than before. I actually didn't plan this, but when I realized the way Olavi tortured Kaylee was similar to how Kaylee is when shaving heads, I connected the dots.

    While I did mean to showcase more of Kaylee's relationship with Ai, I really want to get through this season first. All I'll say for now is that Ai was easily the one she loved the most and changed her life the most, which led to her fostering immeasurable resentment towards everyone when Ai was killed by Michiko. There is definitely more to this story, but that will have to wait for later down the line in the series.

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