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 #238:

Time to talk about Chapter 238: Berlin wall overload.
This is one of the good moments from the arc as it features a game. In fact, I think it might even be the first Ruy Lopez game in the series. It is definitely the first Berlin defense game though.

For those who don't know, the Berlin defense has one of the highest draw rates in chess, thus if someone plays it, they're likely aiming for a draw. The only problem is that the Berlin defense is the best response to the Ruy Lopez. But it's only a draw if you don't blunder, and as we saw, Mari blundered.

The reason for that is that her true skill level is truly 990. I was originally going to have her be an executive board member, but decided instead to have her fabricate her executive board status and make her a pathetic villain. Burnout was the main cause behind this, though I'm not exactly too dissatisfied with this.

One thing I will reveal though is that the original game between Daria and Mari was going to be much longer as back then, Mari was still a 2900-level player. But both the daunting task of writing both the game and the buildup to it, which would have required Mari to nearly break Daria through torture, ultimately dissuaded me from pursuing it.

Now Doraaki is seemingly free and Prokrutka's after Bashame and Mari. Things are looking good, but the arc isn't over just yet. The good news though is that the quality of the arc will improve again, and not only feature some character development for Doraaki, but also a major flashback with Daria and a certain character. I hope you'll look forward to it.

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

Author's Commentary #236:

Time to talk about Chapter 236: Peak femininity.
In contrast to the last chapter, this is easily one of the brighter spots of the arc. It not only gives character development to Daria and Mizuse, but it reveals what their final conversation together was. Mizuse really did end up becoming my favorite of the Japanese SPCMs. She's gotten more screen-time in the main story thanks to the revisions, had her own Side Story, and keeps showing up even after she's long gone.

Daria also got a snazzy new outfit, which will now serve as one of her main outfits going forward. The reason for that is mainly because I liked Daria's undercover hairstyle so much, I decided to make it her permanent one for the rest of the series. As such, I naturally had to give her a new outfit to properly rock the look with. Feel free to check out art of Daria's new look in the gallery.

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

Author's Commentary #235:

Time to talk about Chapter 235: One sus sleezeball.
So yeah, this is where the arc goes downhill. A large reason for that is because I didn't know what to do with the villains. This will become more apparant in the next few chapters.

The other thing to note is that Ina is being shipped off to England as a gift to the Fairy league. It seems Mari is trying to curry favor with them. Slick's also acting sus, but the reason for that will be revealed soon.

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

Author's Commentary #234:

Time to talk about Chapter 234: Undercover mommy.
Yeah, I just wanted to use that in a title. But Daria really is full of surprises. This is easily one of the highlights of the arc. Now she's in the school, but unfortunately, Ina got caught. I will confirm that Ina definitely won't die, at least not by Mari's hand as the Fairy league is out for her head. At worse, she'll likely end up in England, which in turn could lead to it's own Side Story in the future.

Unfortunately, this is where the arc starts to show flaws in my opinion. While there are still some good character moments and games coming up, I feel I wrote myself into a hole with Mari's character. I'll explain more in a future commentary.

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

Author's Commentary #233:

Time to talk about Chapter 233: Infiltration mission.
So first off, this Author's Commentary is going up a few days after this chapter was posted. The main reason for that was the start of the contest. Anyway, time to talk about the chapter.

Daria's going undercover and joining up with Ina. She'll be infiltrating a prestigious college controlled by basketball legend, Slick Suou and his daughter, Mari Suou. Even though they've yet to appear, I'll give their bios here.

周防スリック (Suou Slick) is how Slick's name is written in Japanese. 周防 means "dynasty" and "defend".

His birthday is May 30th, which is the same as Haruki Kamoshida's. I was originally going to have him be Haruki's father, but ultimately decided against it.

He doesn't play chess, so he has no favorite piece, though if he did, it would be the queen.

周防真凛 (Suou Mari) is how Mari's name is written in kanji. It's an obvious pun on "Mary Sue". 真凛 means "truth" and "dignity".
(If I made any mistakes with the translations, feel free to correct me).

Her birthday is July 21st. 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, mainly because that's what she views herself as.

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

It's good that Yalda wasn't out for days like last time. Looks like it's time for a training arc.

Uh oh, Yamin got kidnapped and Yalda's in hibernation mode. Loved the fact that the narration switched to third person and showcased another side of the battle.

The key to beating The Actor? Negative reviews. That really got a laugh out of me. But it seems like the battle's far from over. Wonder if the Tarasque is gonna have a second phase.

Author's Commentary #55:

Time to talk about Chapter 55: Castle caper Part 4.
This marks the finale of the London arc as well as Melinda's Reichenbach. While she did survive the fall, she'll no longer have a role in the story, but it won't be the last that will be seen of her.

It is worth mentioning that she is a streamer. An evil one, but a streamer none the less. So there's a good chance she might return in Streamer Royal. Speaking of which. Fans of the Casino cruise arc from the original Escape Witch can look forward to the remade version of it coming to Streamer Royal. Only Emeri will be present, as the other heroines are off doing other things, but she'll be joined instead by characters from my other works.

As for the Remake, it's going on break again as with the Mal X Honeyfeed contest going on, my plate is a little too full. I'll try to get it all done by the end of the year as best I can, but no guarantees it will happen. I hope you look forward to it.

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

Author's Commentary #54:

Time to talk about Chapter 54: Castle caper Part 3.
While this is rather similar to it's original counterpart, the notable difference is that the confrontation with Oribia and Orise is no longer present. Nakajima is also not the one needed to be rescued as she doesn't even leave Japan. Other than that, everything else is pretty much the same.

I really liked the fact that the girls just looked up the answer online as I thought it was a hilarious way to solve the puzzle. Speaking of the puzzle, I have a feeling characters like the count and the ghouls will appear in some of my other works as well. If that happens, they'll get proper names.

And with that, only one chapter remains for the London arc. After that, it's the grand finale of the remake.

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

Definitely stuff like that, though with orbiting fire balls, water, lightning, etc. People can even have their hair resemble animals and even fly around like a bird.
