General Update on Things
EGSNP is still at least a week off, largely in part because of some rewriting with the main story preventing being as far ahead as I'd like.
HOWEVER, the Hope story arc is nearing its conclusion. I'll soon be working ahead on the next arc, and the flexibility during that time will make getting ahead on EGSNP easy.
Seriously, I basically need one free day for the EGSNP goal. If I don't get that before the Hope arc concludes, I will definitely get it after.
The next arc, in some ways, will be a direct continuation of Hope. You don't toss Hope into the mix without there being additional things to cover.
For example, Mr. Verres asking questions like "who are you, what are you doing in my home, and why is there a portal to a room I don't recognize, I'm almost certain that's new."
It will be a lot more varied in things happening, however, including characters. It's also entirely possible the comic shop won't be seen once!
(No promises it could come up multiple characters hang out there)
Thanks once again for all the patience and support. I get very nervous when I dial back content, and it's because of so many people being supportive and okay with it that I've been comfortable taking steps to improve my work / life / sleep balance.
I am literally healthier now thanks to your support and understanding. Also more talkative? I might be more annoying in person now thanks to your support and understanding. I suppose there's a balance to these things.
I'd like an anime in which an adventurer wanted to be a jack of all trades, master of all, and could not achieve that.
What they do achieve, however, is expertise in all adventurer classes, even if, physically and magically, they can't possibly do it all themselves.
So they become a teacher.
An adventurer who's not at all OP, but is clever and well-versed in all things adventuring, and their real power is bringing out the best in rookie adventurers.
The big triumphant moments would be their students pulling off the final attacks and tactics that win battles, not them.
Also, none of the rookie adventures are love interests ☝️
The love interest can be a former rival the same age, or someone experienced working in the guildhall.
Or a BAKER.
GET THAT BREAD 🥖
(Sees an anime called "The Too-Perfect Saint". The premise makes them think of a manga they've read. Checks to see if it's actually the same story with a different name. It is not.)
I feel like a cousin to the "villainess" genre is the "discarded actual saint" genre.
(Sometimes called "sage".)
"You're not the saint!"
(They're totally the saint)
