Author's Commentary #477:

Time to talk about Chapter 477: Agents moving out.
I know I said I'd try and rush things to get to 6B, but I just can't help making new chapters. This one mainly came about due to the introduction of the characters from the Greater Federal Republic of Central America to the story. It's last minute, but I found a way to slot them all in, so let's talk about them.

エスティ・マロキン (Esti Marroquín) is how Esti's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is January 28th. 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.

アミラ・エルヴィル (Amira Elvir) is how Amira's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is May 7th. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.

Her favorite piece is the rook.

イシドラ・ノボア (Isidora Novoa) is how Isidora's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is August 26th. I chose this date at random, so there's no greater significance behind why this date is her birthday.

Her favorite piece is the knight.

ピラール・メカノグラファ (Pilar Mecanógrafa) is how Pilar's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is January 8th, which is World Typing Day.

Her favorite piece is the bishop.

バイオラント・サナブリア (Violant Sanabria) is how Violant's name would be spelled in katakana.

Her birthday is April 23rd, which is World Book Day.

Her favorite piece is the queen.

As for the GFRCA, it came about after doing some research and finding it existed. I had originally planned to include some of the teams individually, but this option also allowed me to add more nations in and only having to create 5 new characters for them. I won't go much into the backstory for the GFRCA, only revealing that thanks to the DESPER, the nations of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua are all one nation and have been physically relocated to now border Cambodia in Southeast Asia. This mainly came about since I felt I needed to do more with the nations being physically relocated concept I introduced with Simien. On that note, I'll confirm one of the other new nations I introduced in the final 4 batch has also been relocated physically, but I'll go more in depth on that when said characters from it make their proper debut in the series.

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

Author's Commentary #476:

Time to talk about Chapter 476: Guess the DSPCM.
I know I said we were getting close to 6B, but that might get pushed back a little bit. The reason for that is because I decided to add 4 more new women's teams, aka 20 new characters total, to the series, which led to me writing chapters to flesh them out a bit. My backlog's also nearing empty, so the more backlog I try to write, the better I feel. Anyway, let's do Zehava's bio.

ゼハバ・キムヒ (Zehava Kimchi) is how Zehava's name would be spelled in katakana. זהבה קמחי (Zehava Kimchi) is how it would be spelled in Hebrew.
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).

Her birthday is October 3rd. 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.

Getting back to the teams, I really thought I'd be capping them at 69/70 for the women's side, but I ended up adding four more new teams, Moldova, Palau, Uruguay, and the Greater Federal Republic of Central America, a fictional nation based off a historical one that is made up of the nations of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua. Costa Rica isn't a part of it even though it was part of the historical real-life iterations of the Republic of Central America.

This really was unplanned, but I just couldn't get the character ideas out of my head, and just gave in to making them. I feel this is what led to my burnout worsening at times, not to mention the process of creating art distracts me from actually writing chapters. And I've still got ideas for teams. However, I really do think this is it for the women's side. There are now 73 teams, and I can't even add anymore to my grand artwork list in the comments of Chapter 259: The Chess Olympics' opening ceremony. I could just do a comment for each section, which I'll likely end up doing eventually. I still have to do art for the men's teams that appeared in the story already, as well as art for some miscellaneous male characters. Plus at this point in the story, I can't really slot in new characters very easily. Not to mention, I really want to move the plot along in the story.

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

I don't remember every single word of the original volume 1, but I do know things were paced much better here than in the original. I really enjoyed rereading the story of how Yalda got her wings. Now it's onto how she meets all her friends. Really interested to see how you modified volume 2 as that one's much fresher in my mind compared to volume 1. Just goes to show how memorable volume 2 is and resonated with me as I can remember nearly all the events from it even though it's been months since I finished reading it.

Author's Commentary #475:

Time to talk about Chapter 475: The despicable nature of Vera Babylon.
This chapter was stressful to write, not because of burnout, but because of how sensitive the subject matters discussed in it are. First off, Vera is indeed a neo-Nazi and probably the most racist character yet in the series, though Olvai will ultimately dethrone her as the most racist an evil character when he properly debuts.

Getting back to Vera, I mentioned back in the commentary of Chapter 472: Still human, that I felt there needed to be more buildup to Vera being a mega-racist. The reason for that is I felt that having her debut and then suddenly be revealed to be an evil racist was too abrupt, and thus felt it'd be better to have her debut earlier and have her vileness built up so it wasn't out of the blue.

This also leads into discussion of "Verachteleke Poep". For those that don't know, the name is Dutch for "Despicable shit", or at least that's what I thought. Turns out I misspelled the name this whole time as "verachtelijk" is the Dutch word for "despicable. But I'm salvaging this by making "Verachteleke" a pun on "verachtelijk". Nonetheless, Verachteleke will be Vera's canonical full name henceforth. As some might have seen in my initial uploads of art of the Babylonian team, I initially had a character called this who was originally designated to be the one-dimensional racist hate sponge of the group. However, I frequently went back and forth with this character. One such example was instead having this character swap bodies with the new Vera, then known as Darina, with Darina trapped in the body of a bad person while a bad person is in her body. Then I went back to the hate sponge idea until I literally decided to add Taslima to the team last-minute, resulting in me deciding to merge Darina and Vera into the Vera Babylon we have now.

One other thing I will confirm is that Ibtissam originally scheduled the interview with Kisha under Vera's name before meeting Okisato and Iori, but just before Vera froze her, she sent a message requesting the interview be moved up earlier. And now that Babylonia's finally been given some spotlight to better know what it's members are like, it won't be too much longer before 6B begins. It may have been a long wait, but I hope it will be worth it and people look back fondly on the 6B tournament arc in the series.

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

I finally finished. I've already left a review, but I'll go more in depth on my thoughts here. As you know, I was not a fan of the deliberate misspellings. They were getting so bad, I was on the verge of dropping my review score to a two star, especially when characters like the priest opened his mouth and I couldn't understand anything, but luckily, the character writing in the latter chapters helped save a star. Had the misspellings not been present, I feel this might have possibly gotten another star, but 3's the limit sadly.

Now that that's out of the way, there is actually a minor nitpick I have with the overall writing that isn't a þ or spelling issue. Now that I'm finished, I really think Barry's thoughts should have been written in the same manner that he speaks. I know I joked about Barry's thoughts being easier to understand than when he speaks, but the stark difference between the two really did make me feel like two different characters were talking. When there's chapters narrated by other characters, they all think the same as they speak, such as using þ in their thoughts. Barry's the only one that breaks the rule, which honestly does feel a bit off. It's not detrimental by any means, but it's just a minor nitpick as I'm of the philosophy that character's narrated thoughts should sound the same as their normal/true talking voice.

That being said, I greatly respect the effort and dedication you put into this, even if I didn't enjoy reading this as much as I could have. Congratulations on finishing and good luck with the contest.

Author's Commentary #474:

Time to talk about Chapter 474: Neon depilatory Evangelia.
My motivation really has hit a low, even when trying to make this chapter title a Neon Genesis Evangelion parody, I still struggled. Maybe it's just because of this mini-arc, as I do have ideas for future arcs.

That being said, this will probably be the last stand-alone shave chapter, at least for 6B. Now only a few lore chapters remain before 6B finally begins, and with how low my motivation levels are currently, I imagine the tournament itself will be only a week's worth of chapters, maybe a little more.

That being said, one of the lore chapters before 6B begins might end up being a really important one. I'm still debating on whether to do it now or after 6B, but if I get it written, i will occur just before 6B. As for what this chapter will entail, all I'll say is that it centers on Okisato and Kana. And with that, I'm sure you can see why I keep saying that it's going to be integral to the overall story.

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

Author's Commentary #473:

Time to talk about Chapter 473: The final holdouts.
Not much for this one as it's just the remaining teams sending their representatives for 6B. It is worth noting that thanks to Ayane, Mayane has now been roped into participating. Really, Iceland is probably the only team that won't get much spotlight, unless of course some teams decide to drop out of the event.

Speaking of teams, I've ended up playing around in paint and making a few more new women's teams. That being said, while I have ideas for them, I doubt they'll have much of a role in this arc. Though I will state here that one of the teams is the Greater Federal Republic of Central America, which is based off historical nations of similar names. Costa Rica isn't a part of it, and thanks to DESPER shenanigans, it's now located in the gulf of Thailand, bordering Cambodia. Since I retconned this into Chapter 282: Chess' worldwide importance, I felt I'd mention that here since it's literally almost 200 chapters back. But while this team and the other new ones won't have much of a role in this arc, they will pop up again later in the series.

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

I know you said you didn't want feedback, but I can't help but want to do a brief review. As others have said, you really pulled off something unique with the blend of Japanese and African cultures, which I feel fits perfectly with the prompt. My only gripe, which you're well aware of, is the overuse of short sentences. And with that, brief review over. Congratulations on finishing and good luck with the contest.
