    The Alma - Hikaru dynamic of "Let's do it!" but not having legs to go doing heroic things but Hikaru being told "You don't need to do anything" and having low self esteem is really funny.

    Aki is really cute in this frame.

  • This is a thought experiment "Ball on a Table" for detecting whether someone has Aphantasia. What do you see when you perform this experiment?
  • ludrol ludrol 3d ago 100%

    Color - none (I hate not being able to visualise color as I hate doing 3d texturing work in blender and I would like to be able to enjoy it)
    Gender - ambigious
    Look - lack of info
    Ball - unpleasant to touch, got pushed from the top, palm sized, it made a sound, the scene looped before the ball fell off the table, in the next iterations the ball was made of foam, and lacked sound, the camera spunn around the table.
    Table - four legs, square, standard height.

    This will be a painful watch due to a caricature of my religion judged by modern eye, and head filled with :::spoiler nationalist propaganda POLSKA GUROM ::: from the day I was born.

    As polish/english wikipedia claims Copernicus didn't really have been made heretic for his work directly. There was an Ordinary that had been his rival and accused him of heresy. Although he was ostracized by some people. His work wasn't presented as a theory but as hypothesis and didn't made it to the banned books list until 17th & 18th century, when Kepler added some cool ellipses and made it an actual theory on how the world works.

    What light novel(s) have you read last week, and what do you think about it? [October 07 - October 13]
  • ludrol ludrol 7d ago 100%

    Merchant crab WN - 55 chapters - A NPC gets isekai powers in fantasy world, and MC becomes a merchant. Technically not an isekai. There is a lot of internet memes in this one so it's opposite of timeless. I enjoyed it quite a bit as I don't really get tired of "old" memes. The mystery is interesting even if it develops quite slow.

    The Legendary Witch Is Reborn as an Oppressed Princess - vol 1 - The desriptions of the scenes are a bit pretensious but the plot is aright. The worldbuilding and character backstories are a contradicting each other. The character dynamics just don't mix well enough. The dehumanization of ML (male lead) just doesn't sit well with me.

    The mood whiplash from music video just like an internet algorithm serving up whatever; was something else.

    ::: spoiler my theory crafting

    So Akane has wrong information about that body wasn't in fact Aqua's father / murderer. A witch(?) (She totally looks like a witch) has manipulated Rudy to begin searching for her own revenge on the manipulator . Akane gaslights Ruby that Aqua wasn't searching for his revenge the whole time.

    The viewers know who is the manipulator. Why does some random girl has star eyes?! Why the Murderer has star eyes? WHAT DO THEY MEAN?!!1111!!!???!?!

    Why Aqua lost his eye!?

    This really slaps. Great fights. Superb Animation. Feels like deep worldbuilding. Good soundtrack. Great story boarding with match cuts.

    Sadly I am not really the target audience but I will keep an eye on it. This could be a hidden gem for the fall season.

    Two separate entities with same thought process with some sort of multi-threading and there is one consciousness / free will.

    Edit: Not a lot of is explained as MC is still new to the whole thing. If you are curious maybe read it. Not a lot plot but still something. I could also have wrong interpretation of the whole thing.

    The emotions and fantasy skills are split but thinking and consciousness are connected. There are couple of interesting choices by the author about the mechanic like MC can't wake up themselfs. I fear that the author will disregard some things that were previously established.

    ::: spoiler spoiler for chapter 30 There is a plot hook for romance between themselfs but I guess it will be more of a comedic gag. :::

    Not much LN this week but a couple of Web Novels and Manga

    Waking Up As a Spaceship!? What’s a Ship Girl Supposed To Do Now?! - Really nice Space Opera Isekai about guy turned into AI. The chemistry between characters is quite good. Writing is decent. The international intrigue is there. World building is just a mix of different games like Elite Dangerous, EVE online etc. with claque of USA, UK and Japan as Space Empires. Sadly the author probably died during 2020 pandemic and there wasn't any more updates after that.

    Reincarnated into Two Bodies - Fantasy Isekai but narrator has two bodies. The potential is there for some great shenanigans but for now I don't feel like it has gotten into its peak. I feel like there is a prologue and half of an story arc. (Maybe it will fill my bookworm hole with weekly chapters)

  • So for 2-3 years I have been using flash cards to get to 1000 kanji and then switch for full immersion and extrapolate meaning with some dictionary. I only know around 150 kanji. This method already worked for english and russian but without flash cards part. I learned first 1000 words + grammar in school by osmosis thorough textbooks. My routine is 30 min a day for two weeks and then 2 week break due to boredom or some other factor. It makes my backlog huge and discouraging and my retention seems terrible (60-70%) For the past 6 month I didn't make any new flashcards to remember. only reviews of old ones. Do y'all have some better method to get to 1000 kanji inefficiently? Because it seems efficient method doesn't work for me.

    ##### What are your favourite Light Novels that are at least 10 years old? I have recently read "I Saved Too Many Girls and Caused the Apocalypse vol 1" and to my surprise it started publishing in 2011. Most novels I read are fresh, with new volumes constantly being pumped out. It drowns out discussions about stories that are older but still worth the read.
