I personally like transformation stories. That a change happens that the MC can't simply ignore.
Nonetheless, I really wish for the character to still behave like a normal person. If not I ask myself what even is the point of the MC being a former human if they for example just act like any other demon.
Also, I have a preferation for female MCs.
Maybe I just got tired of all those harem protagonists. But even if they're not like this, I find that the stuff that happens has less impact. It's somewhat expected from a male character to fight and survive. I find the emotional turmoil of a girl far more relatable.
What I really dislike is when the girl big plastered on a cover is not the supposed MC but the pale guy in the background of the right corner.
If it works out, I want to post the next chapter of slime girl next week. Got stalled by different things, mostly by the fact that there was always another inbetween chapter coming up.
So, since comments tended to pro-bulletpoint removal I started doing so. Currently at chapter 10. Being able to influence this is one of the perks of being follower.
I'm thinking about removing the bulletpoints in slime girl aside from attack/ability calls and telepathical connection. How do you think about this?
I don't mind the bulletpoints at all. But it would be work for you to remove them...
I meant that I would keep linking conversations and things like Shari calling "Slime dash" since those are something else.
Regarding names, if my memory serves me right it was inconsistent so I edited it.
And yes, it's certainly a piece of work. In some earlier corrections of the first chapters (which are now in a far better state than at the start for anyone to reread) I dumped quite many of them.
I think those kind of silent talking/thoughts in bulletpoints should be replaced with italic instead. Some of light novels I read use italic text that way.
I'm using italics for whispering. Bulletpoints were for strong, active thoughts.
Thought I shouldd give an update. Slime girl might take around 3 more weeks till I can again start posting.
Be careful. Slimes can sense you through the smallest gaps. And naturally, pass through them as well.
I hope it’s Shari that’s passing through
You know... If it's her then Liqu isn't far away. And considering what she might think of you two alone in your tent...
Maybe if I give her meat? Sacrifice one or two of the other readers?
I've been thinking if I shouldn't post now Formicea on Saturday for the time being.
Thank you. I didn't know that. Thought that the early weekend would be the usual time to catch up on novels.
The issue is more how many authors post on weekends; the feed fills up much faster. On weekdays your story lingers longer on the front page and in reading lists.
That's why I always post 6 minutes after the full hour. To also get behind the 5 minutes later guys.
Oh that's hilarious
What I really dislike is when the girl big plastered on a cover is not the supposed MC but the pale guy in the background of the right corner.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree!
As if they were trying to make you read a story about another boring standart MC by hiding them in the description or as you said the cover background...
SO FRUSTRATING! I mean do people really like those boring-everyday-male-MC's so much? Apparently they do but I just don't get it. I want my protagonists to be interesting (and ideally female) and not just a self-insert for boring-horny-reader#40687(male)
The issue is that anime and manga are proportionally still rather male-dominated and I guess the common belief is that self-insert isekai protagonists will usually find their fanbase.
The other worrisome trend I dislike that originates from that reason is the poorly made gender-bender insert that doesn't care in the slightest for the traumatic effect and is regularly only a bad excuse to write basically a male.
Once again I can only agree. I personally am quite a fan of that genre but I have found only a small handfull of works which actually did a decent and even fewer who did a great job. In regards to manga I can only think of one. I mean sure it is a small genre, but it is just so disappointing
Now that I'm thinking about it more there were a small couple more manga which did the "genderbender" aspect really well but ended up lower in my personal estimation since other aspects didn't sit well with me...
Tomorrow's chapter of slime girl is going to be special. I first wanted to post just one but then decided to merge it with the next.
Yet I'm sad to announce that as things are I think I'll go on a temporary hiatus at the end of september. My backlog for this story really dwindled. But I promise I'll post more after I refilled it with the next arc that already has quite some chapters to it. It's just that I need this freedom to make adjustments.
No worries, your story your decisions
Nice that my readers are all so reasonable and understanding.
You cruel God, promising us gifts but warning of calamity!! Jokes aside ,do what you need to. As long as your happy with your story and our favorite author is alive and well, we could wait a millenia (at least I can).
It's better for the story that way. I manage around 2-3 chapters a week and if I have a backlog I can arrange the order so it fits better. The big fight at the mansion I rewrote like 3 times. And in Eldritch I added a whole week of in-story time after I wrote the first chapters of the current arc.
Hi,
I was just checking for changes on Core .001, and saw your message there.
Did you check out the royalroad story, it's an earlier version (minor changes) but much further along.
I know, read it, but the author also announced that he would change that part when the release ever happens. And I have hope. A slowly dying and crumbling hope but it still exists....
I hope everyone is ready for the finale of this arc of Slime Girl next week. Yes, I'm going to continue the story after this (though, a hiatus might become necessary in due time, like around a dozen chapters).
However, I wrote quite a while to get to this chapter and hope for comments next saturday.
I chose to name the sidestory we're currently at in Formicea. Made more sense for me.
Let's take this chapter as a gift for my successful exams.
I wasn't sure if I'd release today since I had oral exam, but it worked out and I'm not totally devastated.
Idea: a meeting of three mothers at a support group for raising monstrous daughters...
And the ever growing terror on the faces of the other attendees who didn't expect "monstrous" to be taken quite so literally.
Hannah about her issues with her daughters apparrent new lover and all the disturbing letters she gets sent (thanks Shoto).
Farrah about hormone problems coming with severe mutation and rapid egg production. Along with the trouble of the negative public opinion about such a thing.
And Satomi about what to say to one's daughter when she again accidentally swallowed a world. Are you stern or reassuring?
How much do I need to pay to see this?
You may have not noticed... this author has no payment options listed. No Patreon, no Ko-fi, no PayPal.
As long as the author laughed at the idea, I'm happy.
Damn, I vowed to never touch this, but why do I get right now ideas for an Eldritch chapter with timetravel topic?
Seriously, everything I know about timetraveling makes me only think that it's a terrible idea which can only end in chaos and entropy.
On the other side, we're talking about Iori.
(though, with the other stuff I've planned it might be still far in the future)
I can see why it would be a bad idea but if you just want her to see the past earth or dinossaurs and stuff like that you can say it is a alternate Earth or other universe very similar
Yeah, make her give our terribly powerful Liqu her thought ability or something. It could be srly used for holiday events too
Well, Iori is outer goddess so I think she can unconsciously block few problematic travels, fix some paradoxes without even perceiving them or block her memory off screen, she wants to be normal after all.
Iori would certainly be capable of traversing time casually. She can probably even create new timelines and move freely between them. She could go back in time, mess around, then go to another timeline where she didn’t mess around. She could go back a few weeks and meet herself before she became an outer god if she wanted. It’s harder to imagine something that would be beyond her power.
