I'm back at it again, with a new chapter, and man, do we have an event to get back into! But before we go any further, I do have to ask that you all head to my Twitter. I won't say more, but I would love it if you could follow me. There's not much more to say; enjoy the chapter.

In a pretty good mood, I finished work on my chapter for Path of Storms. It ended up being so long that I could split it into two chapters, with the second being about 70% done because of that. I finally made a fictional map, which I know isn't much. Still, I'm an alt-history enjoyer, so seeing a global map of my creation just pleased the map nerd in me.
Anyway, as promised in the last chapter, depending on how it goes, this chapter and maybe the next will help ...

Well, I got good news and bad, at least personal. The good news is that I managed to submit my assignments without issue; the bad news is that I had to drop a class due to financial problems, which means I'll have to register to do it again for the second semester, so…fun! But I'm glad to see the support I've been getting, as it's not much, but it just means that what I do get is all the more supportive as people kept at this even when I had to take that little extended break. As a ...

Well, this is weird. I started writing this near the end of March, in between my work on assignments, but I finished most of my data, so I can just do the bare minimum and save most of what I had for work. I do not even know how that worked since last I checked it, I had plenty(I'm betting it was the smart TV as my brother was staying with me and the roommate for a while, but I can't prove anything)
But onto a mixed bag of news: While Life of a Hero is on the ic...

The standard issue I have is that I am planning stuff for a chapter but need to cut or, in this case, move it all to the following chapter. As this was written when it was, there's no real-time feedback from chapter one. Still, I hope you enjoyed it regardless, including my changes to the universe.

New Project! This was a long time coming, not helped by the fact my schedule was already packed, but with Cursed Existence on a break, I found that the Monday slot was clear. And yes, there will be another chapter of Songbird this month; I'll have more free time, which is always a plus. I was tempted to mark this as a crossover but decided against it, at least for now; we'll see how that goes. Now, enough babbling, let's get to the story.

And here we are, the chapter that will open us up to the Sports Festival. I went through many revisions because I didn't want to just use the same events, but what I came up with is pretty fun, at least as much as my beta reader thought. It was also meant to be the chapter before the start of the Sports Festival, but trying to stretch the training montage was a fool's errand and just a dick move on my part.

With the chapter itself, we are finally here, the USJ, the second major arc…of season 1. Like, man, I knew I planned to set up to cover things and introduce characters and set the stage, but to be honest, the OG draft for that was only 10 chapters, but things were added, removed, refined, expanded on and simplified like so many other projects. But while it took a while, I'm happy with the journey here, especially since season 7 will be out soon, so more content to work with as I've ...

You have to expect that some stuff hits and some don't. Still, it doesn't make it any easier to take as this and Path of Storms is popular. I'm grateful for that, indeed I am, but I wish the same could be said for Life of a Hero, as that entire cursed existence series has been dropping off. Also, fanfiction.net was down last Friday, so I couldn't post the chapter of More than You Think There, but it did go up on Ao3 just fine. It shoul...

Okay, I have a little announcement to make with this. Don't worry; it's nothing terrible like my cancelling this series. It just…I was expecting a little more of an impact, you know? But I've seen that the number of readers has decreased since the first book. By far, I would say this is the weakest of my current works in terms of readers, so I'll be going on hiatus for a bit; give it time to build something of a following and maybe alter future plots to try and add some spark to thi...

Before anything else, I want to state my respects for one of the GOATS of manga and anime, Akira Toriyama, as it was announced last week, Friday/Saturday, that he sadly passed away. Love or hate Dragon Ball, it was a trailblazer for anime, both in Japan and the rest of the world. For me, it was the first anime I ever watched as a kid in South Africa and my first taste of a 'not safe' anime; before then, my very Christian parents forbade anything they disapproved of, only for one d...

The good news is that I had a lot of fun writing this, also catching up on other stories I'm a fan of, which I fell back on, or watching anime, which, again, I fell off from for a little bit. The bad news is that I have two assignments due in the next couple of weeks, so I might need to use that early warning about late uploads sooner than I would like. The alternative is to put one or 2 stories on hiatus, but I'm still deciding.

Whelp, the 'o' button on my keyboard is acting up again as I glued it back…somewhat into place, but now it feels clanky and weird to press. And with my classes in uni back in full force, I don't have as much time as I did before, so if stuff is in danger of being posted late, I'll be sure to announce that.
The chapter itself is the first of its kind as it is all about one angry blond and how he's taking all these changes to his life. Writing was challenging, b...

Well, the 'O' button on my keyboard is loose again! This is just BS; before this laptop, I used my dad's old one, which he got in 03, and my siblings and I used it throughout our middle and high school years without issue, with it finally packing in 2019 thanks to the battery issue. This laptop, by comparison, is another hand-me-down. Still, it was bought in 2015, and I got it a couple years back, so this is just getting annoying as it's not the first time the damn button has got loos...

Welcome back, you know, this chapter was one of the easiest to write, though I'm expecting that to remain as most of what I have planned from this point on would be a complete divorce from canon and more of a means to explore another facet of the MHA world, I won't say what as that'll spoil things but I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it. While a villain, Izuku is not villainous, at least not nearly to the extent others taking on the concept; this next part of the ...

Okay, so I noticed last week that I've burnt through most of what I wrote for this, as when I started the planning for this last year, I thought I could get through everything for season 1 before that break I took. Now I have an egg on my face, so I'll soon be working off very sparse notes. I'm unsure if I should take a break sometime in April to give myself time to get more ideas and plot points out.
As for this chapter, it wasn't action-filled, but at this poi...

Okay, I promised myself that this chapter would be short, but with how long the last one runs, I must fight this habit. Speaking of the previous chapter, what did you all think of it? I've been eager to write that and this follow-up since chapter 8, but as you can imagine, a lot needed to be set up.
As for this chapter, it's my first time writing anything with Tensei in the field and active as my first work has him featured already in his wheelchair, so it's gon...

Last week's chapter was rather explosive, if I do say so myself. It was a long time coming, but I handled it well. A storyline where All Might, after all this, wasn't able to stand tall in the end, which, as you can imagine, will have massive effects going forward, not to mention he wasn't the only top hero who was severely injured in another costly battle that wrecked entire sections of a ward, which of course comes after the much larger incidents that were the USJ, Hosu and then Dag...

I have no idea why, but I woke up today with a fucking head cold, which really slowed me down, but if all goes well and I write as fast as I can, I hope to get this out in time, or else it will be posted late.
We're back with the class B combat trial and Izuku's first chance post-training with Shizune to show off what he can do. It also pays off for something I set up a few chapters back.

And I am back after I took last week off to work on another story, which I highly encourage you to check out, as its debut chapter is crazy long. However, it's not up for early readers. The reason for that is simple: I didn't feel comfortable doing that since I don't have a fixed schedule for it; as I explained before I uploaded it, my week is already booked up, so I don't want to squeeze in another project as that'll just stretch me far too thin.

And we are back with another chapter. Those who read this earlier might be wondering why I didn't post my new story here, and the reasoning is simple: I didn't feel comfortable doing that since I don't have a fixed schedule for it. As for this, it's back to regularly scheduled uploads unless someone comes up. If it does, I'll be sure to tell you all. Writing this was pretty fun as Izuku is just a treat, going from shy or excited one minute to burning something down and playing with hi...

Holy hell, I am back with a new chapter and man, it feels…tiring. Like, I had fun writing this, but with the massive undertaking that was posting my latest story, Songbird's debut chapter, I’ve burnt through more energy than I expected with it. Luckily, I had a few days off before working on this.
This chapter will be longer than average, partially because it’s like a significant event, partially because I didn’t write anything for this last week and wan...

Sorry for the delay; a minor family issue kept me occupied for most of the day.
We are back with another chapter. As I've planned these out in advance, there was little I had to change. Still, while writing out the first draft, I noticed that I used the same characters during the battle trial as I had in Path of Waves: Tetsutetsu and Kuroiro. I went through a last-minute chance to keep things as unique as possible.

We're back with a new chapter that went through the complete Grammarly premium treatment. I only recently got it working for me again, for the first time in nearly a year. The chapter is shorter than most, but I didn't want to stretch things out too long as it's just a single battle between teammates. Someone in a review mentioned how Izuku was being written, that he's chaotic neutral. Yeah, that's what I'm aiming for, as he's not necessarily evil like Dabi or Tomura, but he's far fro...

Good news, after nearly a year without it, I've finally got Grammarly Premium working for me again! So, this chapter is one of the best written in this entire series. Because of that, I've taken the chance to write something special, a new story I've spoken about with other authors in passing but have never put much thought into. Unlike…everything else, I'm not giving it any release schedule to keep it flexible because I have 5 other works already.
