This Week's Chapters (November 17, 2025)
I hate printers.
No, you don't need to update your drivers. You don't need me to make an account anywhere! You're a printer. You print! Your only concern should be whether there is enough paper and ink!
This DLC world drives me to despair.
Here are the week's chapters:
Chapter 347: Right Hand is now available for Core Disciples.
Chapter 347: Right Hand
~~~
Qi glows faintly around Liu Jin as he floats in the center of the room. Ever since he reached the Heaven Realm, leaving the ground has become all too easy. As if that were what is natural. His existence has become one that yearns for the sky. Alas, he cannot reach for it. To leave the palace in any way would be utter stupidity. One could argue that it is a fitting punishment for his actions. He made himself the enemy of many, and now, he has become a prisoner in his own house.
This Week's Chapters (November 10, 2025)
After a long time of not playing, I opened Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond the other day. It was fun, and I was wondering why I stopped playing until I ran into Rune.
It's not the strongest deck, but that doesn't really matter. At a conceptual level, Spellboost Rune should not do what it does. It's not okay to draw a whole new hand and getting an extra turn after healing back to full health. That should not be a thing.
Here are the week's chapters:
Chapter 346: Consultation
~~~
The body Serene End was puppetering is no more. It has been destroyed, and its parts are splattered over the walls, floors, and even the ceiling. Thankfully, the barriers prevented any of it from reaching the three people in the room.
Xiao Shuang blinks very slowly.
“This is…not quite what I expected when you said you had something to show us,” Xiao Shuang says, staring at the gory display with a haunted look.

We're in November now. Somehow. It's a little early, but I'll remind everyone that, as usual, I'll be taking a break during the last week of December and first week of January.
Here are the week's chapters.

“Again,” Liu Jin says.
Feng Hao closes his eyes. He is sitting cross-legged on the floor surrounded by multiple flames, each one no larger than a candlelight. They started with one. Then, Liu Jin made Feng Hao split it in half, then again, and again, and again.
Currently, their number is trying to become eight thousand one hundred ninety-two.
“It is hard, Elder Brother,” Feng Hao says. Sweat shines on his brow, not because of the heat but the strain. ...

Me This Week: *Staring uncomfortably at all those unread messages*
Also, I couldn't help but notice a lot of the people who asked me for shoutouts had already abandoned those stories and started new ones. Some were even on their third or fourth attempts, and you know what? That's not good.
I'm saying this because I know some of the people here want to write something one...

The days following the end of the Crimson Cloud Tournament prove to be quite fruitful. Training Feng Hao and talking to Granny Zhao stand out as particularly enjoyable experiences. The old lady makes sure to visit the palace as much as she can, allegedly to pass on the words of the Crimson Cloud, but in reality, so they can have tea and talk about Old Jiang.
Alas, Liu Jin cannot stay in Imperial Cloud City indefinitely.

I have been meaning to make this post for about a month and a half. Maybe two. Perhaps three. It's hard to keep track of things. If you're reading this, you might be noticing (if you hadn't already) that I am very scatter-brained.
Anyway!
I have seen people complaining about their experiences with Patreon in the discord, PMs, Spacebattles, and sometimes even on Royal Road comments.

I'm glad to see Digimon is doing well recently. Between the new game and the new anime, the year is ending strong for the franchise.
Also, the Prelude short for Time Stanger is beautiful. If you like digimon, I 100% recommend watching it.

Old Jiang had been a demanding teacher.
Every day meant a new challenge. A different poison to defeat. A different puzzle to solve. His master seemed to derive great joy from Liu Jin's constant struggles. The only time he showed regret was when he made him undergo the trial of the Nine-Head Snake God at the grand age of nine. Liu Jin is sure that Old Jiang would have waited longer if he had more time to live.
Regardless, harsh as his lessons were, Old Jiang n...

“Hear me, for I bring the words of the Crimson Cloud, and those words promise pain and desolation!”
Liu Jin sighs as Emperor Xiang enters his throne room with Granny Zhao and Prince Xiang Rong. Unlike every other time Liu Jin has seen him, Emperor Xiang looks neither tired nor annoyed. One might even dare to say there is a slight spring to his step. He looks relaxed, upbeat…Happy.
Liu Jin has a headache.

The Crimson Cloud Tournament is over.
As the sun sets over Imperial Cloud City, the Crimson Cloud Arena is already in the process of breaking into countless small clouds. By dawn, there will be nothing left of it. The arena will not be seen again until the next tournament arrives.
The same cannot be said about the menacing palace floating above it.
A wave of panic had hit the city in the aftermath of the final round. The appearance of a dark palace floating on stor...

“Are you mad?!”
Feng Zhi’s angry voice echoes throughout the Storm Dragon Palace. Despite its mighty size, the place is nearly empty. Only those who were absolutely essential were allowed to remain before the structure took flight.
Like Qing Guo.
The young man stumbles back in fear as Feng Zhi shouts, almost tripping and falling on his ass. The display is so pathetic that Feng Zhi once again finds himself doubting whether this man is related to Qing Jin.

Once upon a time, there was a girl.
She was born to a prosperous clan and was blessed with considerable talent. In every respect, her future was bright. Before she was even ten, many important families had already approached her parents to try to arrange a match with their sons, but they decided to wait until their daughter was older so that she might have some input on the choice.
She was fortunate. Too fortunate.

I had to buy a gift the other day, so I went to the mall. Turns out they still exist. Also, they had an arcade which I was very tempted to try out because there were never any arcades around where I grew up, but that's not what this is about.
I was walking around when, suddenly, I see this huge line. Like, super long with all sorts of people in it. Naturally, I had to find out what it was about. What could possibly draw such a large and varied crowd.

Feng Zhi runs with all his might.
He held back while he and Feng Hao were still inside Imperial Cloud City. His father’s attention might have been on Qing Jin's match, but there was always a chance he might notice Feng Hao moving further away instead of closer. Even after crossing the city gates, Feng Zhi made sure to keep his Qi low. One could never be too careful when dealing with Emperors.
Once the giant fire sword appeared in the sky, Feng Zhi discarded all pretens...

As the years pass, I gradually get closer to being an old man who yells at clouds, though in my defense I have way better clouds to yell at compared to my parents or grandparents. No nephew, you don't get to use AI to do your homework. Why is your generation's cheating so lazy and uninspired? Why did cartoons and movies make the future look so much more cooler than it ended up being?
Why did Demolition Man get so many things right? Franchise Wars. Seriously. How?

The barrier comes down as soon as Liu Jin is declared the winner. Such is the will of the Crimson Cloud. Though it is not unaware of the various interests surrounding the battle, it sees no purpose in interfering with them. Emperor Xiang’s many attempts to convince it otherwise were for naught. The concerns of the Crimson Cloud lie elsewhere.
The shadows strike.
Dark creatures without shape or mass rise from the shadows and leap onto the ring. For one brief instant, ma...

Two Heaven Realm cultivators stand in the ring.
It is not the first time such has happened in the history of the tournament, but the arena explodes with applause and cheers all the same. The people chant Xiao Shuang’s name without end, while others call for the Young Dragon’s victory. Regardless of their skill, everyone instinctively understands that this is no ordinary battle. If they were to miss this, they surely would regret it for the rest of their lives!

“Xiao Shuang of the Divine Frozen Palace vs. Qing Jin of the Eternal Flame Clan!”
The two are in motion before the announcer has finished speaking. Gold lightning surges in Liu Jin’s hands. At the same time, Xiao Shuang unleashes a wave of ice. Liu Jin’s lightning splashes harmlessly against it, instantly overwhelmed by the mass of deadly spikes that is soon inches away from his face.

Lately, I have been getting weight loss ads.
First of all, rude.
Second of all, they were all injection therapy adds, which immediately had my eyebrows all up high. I couldn't help but be reminded of this one episode of a scifi show I haven't watched where people put worms inside their body, and the worm ate all the fat. You'd figure the 'worm inside the body' part would have scared away everyone, but no. They all went through with it because easy weight loss. Of course, they end ...

Usually, I complain whenever Patreon makes an interface change because most of them suck, but you know what? The last few ones have been pretty good. For example, the edit button is now at the top of a post, so I don't have to scroll down to edit. That's good.
So yeah, good work, Patreon.
