Here's the May update schedule, helps me gather my thoughts so I'll keep doing it.
Tier 1/2:
1.5 Harry Evans
3.5 announcement POV
5.5 Video Game Cultivator
8.5 Rattata
11.5 Harry Evans
15.5 Video Game Cultivator
21.5 Harry Evans

29.5 Update ...
2025-04-29 09:41:27 +0000 UTC View PostBy most standards, Jin was not a particularly good cultivator. Up until this point, he had worked too much on scenarios, rather than cultivation. When he did have time off from the former, he generally sat in a nature clearing staring at a single blade of grass with his improved vision.
Or he was stuffing his face on the delicious food in ...
2025-04-28 21:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI found the clues I was looking for. A light in the dark. I see now that Hogwarts teaches a limited view of magic. What are spells but rituals simplified into words and gestures and expressed through a wood and magical core combination attuned to the caster? What are potions other than symbolic recombinations of ingredients to achieve differ...

The fact that a unicorn had been killed in the forest wasn’t something that managed to reach the student population in the next few days. Harry guessed that Dumbledore and the staff, who doubtless...
2025-04-22 02:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostJin proudly looked down on the three softly glowing Illusion Rooms in front of him.
Dragonslayer Ornstein, Outlast, The Last of Us.
Thus, the trio was complete, even if one of the three was not like the others…
Over the last several days, he had been going over the rooms with Hashimi and Fracis, applying whatever las...

What's up guys? I'm doing fine, doing fine. Gonna finish writing my thesis 1st of June, handing that in, boss. I lined myself up for a part-time job at a small UX design company. Gotta p...

I woke up today feeling happy. I don’t know why. My stomach is heavier than ever before, and I feel like I’m bloated with all the world’s ills.

2025-04-13 02:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostJin stared at Francis as the man emerged from the Outlast Illusion Room with a pallid and constipated look on his face.
“That should be the last of the minor fixes,” the older inner disciple muttered and warily backed away from the artefact he’d just been working on as if he were afraid it would bite him.
“So the sound synchr...
2025-04-10 06:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostKanto → Elite Four → Challenges
Topic: Bruno vs. Blaine
Original Poster: Curious bystander (League Illuminati member)
So, it's official. We've been eating good for the first time after several years. Lance challenging the Elite Four for a spot finally rattled things awake in this dusty Pryce era. He beat Bruno, and maybe b...
2025-04-08 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey, just as an update, thanks to everyone for participating as forum members in the Pokemon world! The chapter in which the forum interlude you've helped co-create appears in will appear tomorrow for Tier 3. Chapter 55. Then after that we get to the actual battle between Bruno and Blaine.
As for the poll, the POV with the most votes was ...

2025-04-04 02:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: So, I recently go this idea and thought I'd float it past everyone. If anyone responds I'll do it again in the future, if not, not. I occasionally make little forum interludes for my Rattata fanfic (never a full chapter), and then it struck me that it would be a great idea to give people the opportunity to say what they think abou...
2025-04-03 09:22:58 +0000 UTC View PostWhatever bustling activity and panic emerged from the murder of the only man immune to the virus in the sect and army leadership did not reach Jin’s relatively isolated position in the inner ring. His contribution to whatever would happen with his Illusion Room, and more importantly, the war, was now officially over. And, well, he had other pr...

2025-03-29 03:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate schedule last month was mostly accurate, with some deviations of one or two days. I find the schedule useful since it helps keep me in track, so here's the one for April

Joey sighed as he recalled the passed-out Misdreavus.
On the other side of the impromptu battlefield, David recalled his own knocked-out Pokemon, his Wartortle.
The boy angrily clo...
2025-03-26 03:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing the suggestions post which has now gathered a lot of options, here's the poll :)
2025-03-24 10:46:05 +0000 UTC View PostJin idly flipped the jade slip in his hand up and watched it fly high up into the air before falling back down into his hand. He had to squint to look at it as it reflected the sunlight like a motherfucker. The thing stored sect points, and the more it had, the brighter it was.
Suffice it to say, after sharing the victory with Lung Junior,...

2025-03-16 03:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post“I vote to extend the decision for two weeks, giving the disciples enough time to retouch on their enemy typings,” Elder Lung said stubbornly once the core jury team had absconded to a pagoda on top of the mountain.
“Respectfully speaking,” General Shroud said. “If we do not start training soldiers now, we will miss the time wind...
2025-03-12 03:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe rough waves stirred up from an eastward wind slammed against the barren cliffs south of Pallet.
Joey stood on the rocky outcropping, holding up a pair of binoculars that had been a part of Oak's camping package.
Far away in the distance, not perceivable to the naked eye, lay Cinnabar and its famous volcano. Right now, it was just...

Crazy to think that in my pre-written chapters, this story is now approaching 300k words. Thank you all for your support during this time. To think that two years ago I wrote the attached image plot for the story. All green now, all things that have happened.

2025-03-06 03:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAll the gathered inner disciples and the sect's elders, plus General Shroud, awkwardly watched on as, after the end of The Last of Us, Elder Lung went on a lengthy diatribe on the faults that he had identified in the work.
Amongst his accusations that it represented a disgrace to all of the principal beliefs of the Illusion Room sect, a wa...

2025-03-01 03:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAll tiers are thankfully getting the notifications now, but I don't think a monthly update schedule is such a bad idea. Here's the one for march.
