Bam! A surprise new project announcement!
Bet you didn't see this coming, huh!
...Or technically, it's an old project, just with a new coat of paint. But let's not get stuck on the little details.
Long story short, my original English light novel, Saintly Girls Zone, will be r...

I don't think even a god could make Izumi wear bikini.
How's everybody doing? Enjoying the sun?

I'm not sure if you've all been following my Twitter, or website, but I've been posting some fan comics on my blog in the past year, and thought I should mention about it here too, in case you missed the news.
Why comics?
Well, I've made it a rule not to write on weekends, to avoid burning out completely. But I can't ...

Sorry for the wait!
After all the trouble, the third side story novella of A Hero Past the 25th is now officially out!
I'd like to think everything that happens happens for a reason, and having to rewrite the story from nil ultimately clarified a lot of things and made the whole experience better. But, I'll leave you, ...

Hey, let's have a short story here, but not the short story we're looking for.
Instead of any of the good news I've been waiting to share with you, I've only got some bad ones to share at this juncture.
There was a foolish author who thought he planned ahead and wrote the short story he intended to publish in March already in F...

Hi everyone!
The air's getting warmer, days longer.
We're two months into the new year already and spring is right around the corner. What does it bring along?
New stories, at least.
Side Story C: The Chapel of Sleep will be available to my patrons on March 29.
That's Monday, op...

Hi lads and lasses!
The latest instalment of A Hero Past the 25th is now successfully completed and out, and I thought I'd do a little light novel-style afterword to commemorate the occasion.
I haven't done this kind of thing before for any my stories. I've tried, but it always seems kind of superfluous for the author t...

We're nearing the midway point of our journey and here's the second of the profiles relevant to Verse 6. It's Eryn, of course!
This profile doesn't contain major plot spoilers, but for the best experience, I recommend you read it after Chapter 14 - "The Great Green One".
Hope you like it!

Hi everyone, it's time for your seasonal commercial message!
Just kidding.
Half kidding.
It's been close to five months since we witnessed the release of Iron Mountain, the fifth major episode in my on-going isekai web novel epic, "A Hero Past the 25th", now fully available on 2020-08-26 14:50:18 +0000 UTC View Post
No point sitting on this much longer, so here you go, Aury's profile.
Do yourself a favor and read it only after reading Side Story B.
Our deviant not-robot is slated to appear in a supporting role in the upcoming Verse 6 too, which is why I saw it necessary to make a bio.

Your friendly neighborhood Author here.

Frankly, I never thought she'd become a regular too. These characters are too unpredictable.

Though she's out of the picture for now, her role in the series isn't over yet.

It's funny, I didn't really plan for this character at all. He just ended up taking his role in the story on his own, as if he had been there from the start. And, in a way, he has.

Someone should remind our colonel that "he who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not become a monster, and if you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back into you."
