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.

[Musical Selection]

For this chapter, there's no finer song to listen to than the very song played in the chapter itself, Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.

Author's Commentary #452:

Time to talk about Chapter 452: Unconsentual hair removal.
Yeah, you all saw it coming. And yes, this was planned from the start. No further comments...

OK, so there is actually more to talk about, however, I actually have to be careful to avoid giving away spoilers. Though I can talk more about the original vision for this. Originally, this was nothing more than a simple chapter or two of fun to be had on the rest day. Everyone would still go bald, but things were much smaller scaled, mainly due to only a few teams being fully fleshed out at the time. Now there's over 65 women's teams. The nature of the tournament has also changed drastically as what was once an insignificant minor event is now a major plot beat in the entire story.

One quick thing I'd mention is that I plan to feature music notes in the comments, providing links to the songs I feel should play during certain chapters. These won't be numbered, and they won't be done starting from Chapter 1, nor will they be present for all chapters.

As for how things go from here in the story, obviously, more girls will end up bald. Of course, there will also be character development moments, so don't think this will just be weeks of author's poorly disguised fetish. In fact, things will be shifting over to Kisha for a few chapters, so look forward to learning more fun facts about the series.

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

Author's Commentary #451:

Time to talk about Chapter 451: Chihuahua chase.
I imagine this one might get some clicks due to the title alone, especially given how prominently chihuahuas were featured in the writing contest. To be honest, this chapter was actually a last-minute thing.

If you caught the initial draft of the previous chapter, you'd know that the ending of this chapter was originally the ending of that chapter. The reason I switched things around is because I wanted to showcase what Okisato was up to before I get into what's going to happen with Mimoko and Daria. And if you know me, you can probably guess what's going to happen to the two.

The only other things worthy of note is that I've redesigned some more of the side characters, so take a look to see how they look. Some are subtle, but others got more drastic redesigns, such as Daphne now having really long hair, and Santa now sporting a pixie. Some other characters have also gotten outfit changes too like Rita having a shorter dress and visible leggings. Other than that, there's nothing else of note I can think of in terms of revisions to the story.

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

Author's Commentary #450:

Time to talk about Chapter 450: Secret 6B.
I've been hinting at this a bit, but now it's finally been revealed in the story that the next mini-arc will be a bughouse focused one. I'm sure you can guess why I'd be dreading that.

I don't hate bughouse, in fact, I stated before that I had lots of fun crafting the very first bughouse game back in Season 1. The problem is that it's really hard to write the games due to the lack of a bughouse analysis engine. This means that to get bughouse games, I either need to lookup ones played between high-level players, play the games myself, or do everything from scratch. The last option can be very tiring, and with burnout now being a constant factor, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do 16 full bughouse games like that. Taking the games from games I played is also not as great, but mainly due to the fact that the skill level of play for those games is so low.

That's the other problem I have with doing the games from scratch as since Daria and Mimoko will be on a team, they'll need to play practically perfect chess. It's a difficult undertaking, but that's also why I'm making the games bullet ones as the fast time control can make it easy for me to get away with things.

However, even though the nature of the mini-arc is revealed, it will be a good few chapters before the bughouse tournament actually begins. There's actually a lot of lore beats I'm working to get down for this, as I can't reiterate enough how important this mini-arc will truly be. It might seem trivial now, but by the end of the mini-arc, you'll understand why I said it was so important to the overall story.

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

Author's Commentary #449:

Time to talk about Chapter 449: Dawn of the second rest day.
With the heavy lore focus early on, you can tell these next few chapters are going to be important. There will be some Kisha chapters like there were on the first rest day, but they won't be as high a quantity of them compared to back then.

When writing this chapter, I briefly considered showcasing the Xiao Lin vs Zsa Zsa game I thought up on the fly, but sadly burnout said otherwise. And on the topic of games, I will confirm that with possibly an exception or two, there won't be any games featured until the plot of this mini-arc takes off. And to be honest, I've been dreading making these games ever since I decided back before the first chapter of Season 7 was even uploaded that this arc would be a thing.

And if you're curious as to what I mean, the good news is that you'll find out in the commentary of the next chapter. I can't emphasize enough that this mini-arc will not only be a very pivotal moment in the season, but also the entire series.

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

Author's Commentary #448:

Time to talk about Chapter 448: Movie night.
For those that don't know, the "movie" in this chapter is actually one of my other novels known as, A Ghoulish Lovesung. It was originally submitted to the Honeyfeed Halloween writathon contest, which is why it's horror themed. The significance of this though is that it's part of the Jouzu-verse and halfway through, drops some important lore that relates to this very series. To be honest, I actually forgot about it until recently. As such, I feel now s a good time to add it into the story.

A chess game was featured in the novel, which is why the chapter was mainly ported over in the first place. Naturally, since it was a Halloween contest, the Halloween gambit was played.

As for the artifact, I plan to elaborate more on that later. I'm not sure how much later, as the chapter is still being written, but I imagine it will come before the next mini-arc kicks off in the story.

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