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 #408:

Time to talk about Chapter 408: Mission failed.
Now that's an eye-catching chapter title if I ever saw one, especially considering the cliffhanger of the previous chapter. But while a mission does end in failure, it's Heather's mission, not Daria's.

Heather was completely humiliated by Kaylee, and the crazy part is that move of 18. e5 was what ultimately screwed Heather over. It's crazy considering the move looks natural or at the very worst not a blunder, but a blunder is exactly what that move is. I actually think that alone puts this game higher than the Daria vs Mr. Secret game on my list of favorite games in the series.

And thanks to that game, Belgium continues their victory streak and Ina, Mimoko, and Iori are now free. However, there will likely be some grudges towards Iori from Edeltraude and Sibylle for her interfering in them trying to challenge Daria. Especially if Japan's women's team ends up facing Prussia's women's team in the tournament.

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

Author's Commentary #407:

Time to talk about Chapter 407: Daria vs the world.
And thus, the flashback concludes, but it does offer some very important lore bits. I will confirm this match was a part of the Maestro project, which I'm sure is more than enough to get some good theories churned out.

As for the game, Mr. Secret decided that the best way to beat a cold computer-like player like Daria was with something fun and unorthodox. Thanks to his training, he was able to get good and beat even a monster like Daria. The key was that Daria made a misstep, probing she is still human. This misstep can actually be explained away as simply as saying it was due to the time period the game was played in. Back in 2005, engines were nowhere near were they were today. That in turn makes it all the more impressive that Daria was able to play so much like an engine in her youth. She really was ahead of her time.

However, that dominance led to many turning away from chess due to her being too good. Thus, once the WWCF was formed, they created the maestro project with the intent of removing the most op players from competitive play, but compensating them with prestige and the status of secret final boss. Now that the chess ecosystem has improved and is full of fearless young talent that isn't afraid to take on intimidating figures like the maestros, it's likely the maestros will be making more appearances in tournaments.

This is why I decided to have Daria recount the game with Mimoko in a flashback as well, since it beautifully highlights it all. And now, Daria is on the verge of clearing the Fairy gauntlet, however, Heather herself has now appeared. If she faces Daria, or rather is at the very least able to challenge Daria before she mates Tonka, the gauntlet will only continue, which will further serve to exhaust Daria.

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

Author's Commentary #406:

Time to talk about Chapter 406: Daria Inashiki.
To be frank, this look into Daria's past was completely unplanned. However, I'm glad I went with it. In her youth, Daria fell into the typical "prodigy becomes colder the better they get" trope. There is a bit more to why this happened, but I'll likely expand on that more later down the line along with elaborating more on who Daria's mother is.

One thing I do want to highlight is the Bobby Fischer references. It turns out that Bobby Fischer was actually in Japan around the time this flashback is taking place IRL. He ended up being detained, with Boris Spassky even going as far as to beg to be imprisoned with him with a chess set to at least keep his mind at ease. When I remembered Fischer's imprisonment, I decided that I'd use that to explain how Mr. Secret was able to get so good, as he had a skilled opponent to practice with.

Speaking of Mr. Secret, he will remain a secret. I won't be discussing anything about his bio as "secret" is the name of the game. But if you've got a keen eye, I'm sure you can dig up some clues to who he is.

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

Author's Commentary #404:

Time to talk about Chapter 404: Daria vs the Fairies.
It's time for more character introductions. I honestly wasn't planning on having so many, but I did note that this would be the time to introduce all the characters hailing from both United Kingdom nations and British commonwealth nations that had yet to be properly introduced.

ミファンウィ・フィチャン (Myfanwy Fychan) is how Myfanwy's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is November 24th, which is one of the possible days Thanksgiving can occur on.

Her favorite piece is the bishop.

バフィー・ダロウ (Buffy Darrow) is how Buffy's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is June 27th. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

バスカーヴィル元帥 (Marshal Baskerville) is how Marshal Baskerville's name would be spelled in Japanese.

His birthday is September 26th which is the day The Adventure of the Empty House, the story Col Moran debuted in, was first published.

His favorite piece is the bishop.

Marshal Baskerville is essentially a replacement for Col Baskerville Moran, who as you remember, lost to Okisato in a DESPER match back in Season 4. He's pretty much just an older version of the Col, all while being a completely different individual.

フォン・ボルグ男爵 (Baron von Borg) is how Baron von Borg's name would be spelled in Japanese.

His birthday is July 6th. The reason for that is because G is the 6th letter of the alphabet and G6 is the square Black must move their pawn to in order to initiate the Borg Defense.

His favorite piece is the knight.

Sir Grobhand's brother from another mother, Baron von Borg is a baron that plays the Borg defense, and the Grob when stuck as White. Unlike Sir Grobhand though, he's actually highly skilled.

ジェイク・モリアーティ (Jake Moriarty) is how Jake's name would be spelled in katakana.

His birthday is August 4th, which is the day the first chapter of Moriarty the Patriot was released.

His favorite piece is the queen.

アザレア・ビラボン (Azalea Billabong) is how Azalea's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is August 28th, which she shares with Australian FIDE master, Fred Flatow.

Her favorite piece is the king.

ノン・ラッシュ (Non Lush) is how Non's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is March 20th, which is one of the days the Spring equinox can occur on.

Her favorite piece is the bishop.

オルウェン・ポーウィス (Olwen Powys) is how Olwen's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is January 22nd. The reason for that is because the date is in reference to RFA Olwen (A122), a British battleship.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

ヤスナ・イファンス (Jasna Ifans) is how Jasna's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is August 12th, which is name day for Jasna in the Czech Republic.

Her favorite piece is the pawn.

フルル・ネーグル (Fflur Naegle) is how Fflur's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is December 22nd, which is one of the days the Winter solstice can occur on.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

Ugh, that's a lot. But the good news is once I finally end up getting the bios out of the way for all these characters, I won't need to worry about doing them in future seasons of the story.

As for the game, burnout prevented me from showcasing it proper, so I do apologize for that. It was also a long game played at a rapid pace, which is also hard to properly write at times. Though don't worry, this will likely be the only case of that happening here in this arc.

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

Hope you're feeling better. I know what it's like to have writer's block. I actually suffered it quite a bit while writing Limitless vlogging as there were time I honestly had no idea what to do for the story and how to end it. Yes, EPGM was stealing most of my focus, but there genuinely were times I just didn't know what to write. In that regard, I'd say it's best to have an ending planned out as I've found that knowing what the endpoint of the story is helps in filling out the stuff in the middle. And my other, perhaps more... shall we say interesting take is that when you have no idea what to write, let your fetishes consume you and serve as the basis for the plot. This is what helped me get a 25k novel done in about a week before the previous contest ended, but the quality wasn't exactly the greatest. Luckily, you've still got over 3 weeks left and you're already halfway to the 25k word minimum, so I have faith you'll be able to finish and produce a real banger of a story.

My final word of advice would be to manage your novel priorities. With Food truck part 2 starting up, I imagine you'll be more enamored to write for that as it is one of your best works. That's fine, but just make sure you have lots of chapters of this series written beforehand as from experience, I can tell you that when you have a series you're passionate about vs a series you're trying to get done, the series you're passionate about will tend to win out in terms of writing priority, especially if said series also has a dedicated audience. Hope this helps. Good luck in you quest to finish the story.

Thanks for rereading the chapter and giving your thoughts on it. As I said in my reply to Orionless, I doubt I'm going to change the buildup to Jeter's awakening. Now if more readers feel it's so detrimental that it needs to be rectified to save the story, then I'd consider it, but even then, I honestly don't know what more I'd do. To me, Jeter's reawakening is rooted in his conversation with Momo. I was actually struggling to contain these last few chapters within the 1500 recommended word maximum, so to be honest, I'm hesitant to do more writing just for the sake of buildup as I feel as though I already did enough. Still, I thank you for sharing your thoughts on it.

As for Silas, he only let Jeter work in hopes that he'd die before logging out of his account, allowing him to get a brief moment of time to act as Jeter online which would essentially be a bonus for him since he already succeeded in ruining Jeter's story. As for how he reacted to Jeter succeeding in the end, I deliberately decided not to showcase that. I actually did consider an epilogue chapter at one point, but scrapped it since I felt having one showcasing the reactions of everyone else to Jeter's death would ruin the overall theme of the story as since the story is told from Jeter's perspective, I feel it should end along with him. Thank you once again for reading and offering your thoughts on the story.

I can see the point, but I honestly don't think I'll add much more content in between Jeter waking up. To me, his conversation with Momo was meant to be the catalyst for his revival. I also fear trying to extend things might have the effect of making things feel too bloated, thus, I probably won't make any such edits. Even if I did decide to, I honestly don't know what I'd write to make it feel natural. Thank you for rereading the chapter and providing feedback on it.
