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 #146:

Time to talk about Chapter 146: Interview the author Part 3: The top 10 favorite characters.
Once again, not much to say. I actually struggled the most with compiling this list out of all the other lists. Probably because there are just so many likable characters.

Even Muramasa Jouzu managed to top the list. For those who don't know, he's the 0mnipoteng 0mni-god of this universe. He decided not to involve himself too much in this story, though he's likely to make an appearance soon.

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

I really like Bear's analogy with stone and metal. As they say, only rocks can cut other rocks. I know sound weird, but for some reason I can't shake the feeling that this is a prequel to your Face of Eternity series. Then again, it could just be me overthinking things.

Author's Commentary #44:

Time to talk about Chapter 44: Arrivederci Athens.
The girls are leaving Athens and heading for Venice Italy. There, Tetsuka gets a proper introduction. Eriza's also along for the ride, but seems to be acting a bit different. The chapter's main focus is obviously Tetsuka though, so let's talk a bit more about her.

As mentioned before, she takes some inspiration from Gajeel Redfox of Fairy Tail, in fact she essentially has all his powers. The reason for that is because I planned to have her be a main cast member in a battle series spin-off staring Muramasa Jouzu. I ended up canning the story after losing motivation, but I might end up rewriting it.

As for Madoka, she's now 19 years old in the story. Her birthday will certainly be a memorable one, and naturally, I'll have plenty to talk about in these commentaries.

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

Author's Commentary #97:

Time to talk about Chapter 97: A taste of Tartarus.
This chapter is actually something I wanted to see in Shokugeki no Soma. What happens if a contestant's meal is poisoned? Since Shokugeki never delved into topics like that, I decided to do that here.

I will confirm that Ookuma was the mastermind, and only poisoned herself in order to garner public sympathy. Rika's hatred for her is only going to increase from this point forward. Another thing that might be apparent is the fact that conflict is likely to brew with Benihime. Should she find out about Rika's past, she very well might turn against her.

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

Author's Commentary #145:

Time to talk about Chapter 145: Interview the author Part 2: The top 10 worst games.
Basically, my top 10 least favorite games in the series. I'll admit, I actually considered just doing a top 5, since there were only a few games I truly loathed making, but as I went through so of the games, I realized there was just enough to make a top 10 if I included the games I removed after rewriting them.

Though one thing is clear; every single Numakawa game made the list. And worst of all, there are more to come. Perhaps I'll even have to do a list ranking all of Numakawa's games.

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

Author's Commentary #43:

Time to talk about Chapter 43: Black sail of the labyrinth Part 3.
The climax of the Athens arc is here, and it is easily one of the saddest chapters thus far. Melinda was truly ruthless and poor Emeri suffered. There actually was a major deviation between this and the original though.

In the original, Eriza was actually left on the isle of Naxos, much like how Adriadne was in the Theseus myth. Since Eriza will be a big part of the story now, I decided to have her just stick with the gang here in the remake. This means that she'll be traveling with them when they go to the next local.

As for Emeri, this event will naturally effect her going forward. Even though she complained about the lifestyle her family imposed on her, deep down she truly did love them. I will confirm that the minotaur truly was Koki and not a trick by Melinda. Though I will also confirm that Serika's theory was true and Melinda had her eye on the Kuramoris from the start.

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

Looks like we're getting some answers, but also more questions. Horace sounds like he's the key to all this, so hopefully Cherry will meet him soon.

Author's Commentary #96:

Time to talk about Chapter 96: The 10 finalists.
The much hyped up remake exclusive Headmaster selection arc is back, or so I'd like to say. In reality, the true name for this arc is the Tartarus arc. The Roboborg union which was mentioned in Season 1 will be the primary antagonists for this arc along with it's leader, Dr. T. Phon Laqutte. Laqutte did briefly appear in the original, however, I was unable to properly showcase him there. Here however, he will get his own arc.

ドクター・ティー・フォン・ラケット (Dr. T. Phon Laqutte) is how his name is spelled in katakana. He along with the Roboborg union are an obvious reference to the Borg from Star Trek. Laqutte's name is also a reference to Locutus, the name Jean-Luc Picard was given when he was assimilated by the Borg in the season 3 finale of Star Trek: The Next Generation. His name is also an obvious pun on Typhon, from Greek mythology.

His birthday is May 8th which is also the date the episode that debuted the Borg first aired.

As for his favorite food, he technically doesn't have any since he is a cyborg. Though before he became a cyborg, water was the sustenance he deemed most necessary for survival.

If you're familiar with all the things the Roboborg union is referencing, I'm sure you can get a basic idea on how this arc will play out. This will probably be the darkest arc in the series, not to mention the most emotional.

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

Author's Commentary #144:

Time to talk about Chapter 144: Interview the author Part 1: The top 10 best games.
So yeah, instead of listing everything in the comments, I decided to list them in the chapters in the form of an interview. As such, there isn't much to talk about aside from the interviewer herself, Kisha Shinbun.

新聞記者 (Shinbun Kisha) is how her name is spelled in kanji. If you're familiar with Japanese, you'll notice that her name is literally "Newspaper reporter" if you read her last name first.
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).

Her birthday is September 4th which is Newspaper Carrier Day.

Her favorite piece is the pawn, mainly because that's the most iconic piece to her, though ironically she doesn't know about en passant.

Kisha was actually one of the reporters that attended Ai's press conference back in Chapter 79. When I settled on the interview format, I decided to have one of the reporters from that chapter be the interviewer. And from there, I just had to give her a name, and everything was good.

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

Thanks for checking this out. Since there are hardly any anime,manga, or even light novels focused solely around chess, I decided to make one. The idea of chess with death battles was an idea I had for a while, but didn't refine until I decided to write this story at the start of the year.

As for my elo, I'd say on average it's around 1000-1200. Sometimes I even drop below 1000 when I'm not focusing, but on average I'd say it's probably 1000 at the least. Though my peak elo was 1100, at least as of this moment, so I guess we'll say that's my elo for now.😅

So the pill was part of a larger scheme, but ultimately not meant to be the end-all. Very glad to learn the father's motives, though Ko's motives are still a mystery.

Author's Commentary #143:

It's finally time to talk about the final chapter of Season 3, Chapter 143: Our beloved sadistic antihero.
And to start, the Desperado is none other than... Sandy. That's right, the one who claimed to be one of the nicer and friendlier ones was actually the Desperado. I actually had plans to reveal her true nature while everyone was still in America, but ended up changing things up, mainly because I kind of just wanted to get through the season.

Looking back, I feel burnout definitely effected the quality of the season. I definitely had some lofty ideas for this season, but ended up getting burned out and deciding to rush things through. I also feel I didn't quite showcase Carol's character as well as I could have. Though at least she survived, and will be able to live her days happily as an SPCM. Thanks to her matches against Pewler and Lakisha, her rating has now jumped to 1001, meaning she clears the 800 rating threshold needed to become an SPCM.

While I do believe this season had some shortcomings, there are some things I am proud of. Notably the games as well as Iori's and Pewler's speeches. I felt the speeches each defined their characters well. Iori also got some much needed spotlight after getting shafted in Season 2. Ironically, she's also going to have a very minor role in Season 4, though that's mainly because Season 4 will focus on Okisato and co competing in the Fairy league's game.

Speaking of which, Season 4 will not begin immediately as first, I will be releasing some special chapters where I discuss my favorite and least favorite games, characters, and chapters from the series. I hope you're looking forward to it.

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

Author's Commentary #95:

Time to talk about Chapter 95: Madoka's birthday.
As stated in a past commentary, Madoka shares her March 24th birthday with Harry Houdini. As such, her birthday chapter will naturally feature her escaping from various death traps, much to Jester's annoyance.

This chapter was in the original and honestly doesn't differentiate too much from it's original counterpart either. What is not in the original though is the arc that will be beginning next chapter. Yep, the Headmaster selection exam arc will be resuming next chapter, and the series will never be the same. I actually thought about adding this arc to the original, but after settling on rewriting the series, decided to save it for this. I hope you're excited for it, because it will definitely be a ride of emotions.

One final thing I'll mention is that Madoka seeing Maju's magic shows was what ultimately inspired her to become a magician herself. While she can't really do a live show without getting kidnapped after it, she can record her shows and post them on Ewetube which was founded by and owned by her mother. If you read Escape Witch, you'll know that Madoka was able to do well as a Ewetuber and truly does grow up to be a sexy hot magician. I'd argue that aspect of her was inspired by the anime Tejina Senpai. Though Madoka does not get stage fright and can always escape no matter how dire things are.

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