GET THE HELL UP SHIK-I mean...Suichi! Now drink that glass of water that Hisu-I mean Fuyoku-sama, so carefully and diligently prepared! Well, you should have realized that Shuichi = Shiki Tohno + Yuuichi Aizawa from the very start, shouldn't you? Fuyuko (Lit. Winter Girl) is more or less my own invention, though heavily inspired by your quintessential visual novel female lead archetype and LOL SAD GIRL IN SNOW. quote:
I finally caught and oh boy, so many references thrown everywhere, I was grinning like an idiot the whole time. quote:
So far the plot seems to be a Slice of Life about manly Cataphracts being awkward in the middle of South East Asia, 20th century Feudal Japan. Not that I mind, but it's still entertaining to read. Correction: It is a (affectionate?) parody of visual novels and a tribute to the Basileia ton Rhomaion. Hence the amount of shout outs and references. Unfortunately, because of that, it attempts to carry out a little too many subplots at the same time, resulting in a rather crawling pacing. I'd think if I pay an editor, quite a bit would be trimmed from it. quote:
Anyway, reading through your work really reminds me how rusty my writing skill is. So I guess you woulnd't mind if I pick some of your writing style in my own piece, would you? In the meantime, my current style is heavily inspired by AARs such as I Am Skantarios or Me: Floris. So I'd say it's gone full circle. Which is to say, you are quite welcome. Also, last part of chapter 6 up! Wladislaw, like your every dude visual novel protagonist, got a chance to speak with a cute girl (IN A FRENCH MAID UNIFORM WITH A PAIR OF LARGE GLASSES) who seems interested in him. Unlike your every dude visual novel protagonist, he blew his chance pretty spectacularly. Total word count to date: ~30300.
