《Memories of the Gluttonous Sage》The Summary
Advertisement
Cover is made by Koi. Check out her instagram: koiijin
1 "Day" can be anywhere from 1 chapter to 24 chapters. An action packed, nonstop tasks to be done throughout the day, is about 24 chaps. A Day that's spent grinding out new spells, formulas, or experiments can be anywhere from 1-7 chapters depending on how much I flesh it out.
If the quality drops, bug me about it on discord or comment on the chap. That must not happen no matter what; 'tis a taboo. I recommend binging once every month or two weeks until I get skilled enough and have enough time to do daily releases.
WARNING: This is just a rough draft for the comic. Although the novel has been refined to be presentable, the comic will have more details, mini dramas, and it'll also flow better. There is so much detail I need to put in, images can hardly express it all.
To put the above into perspective... Days 1 through 3 are about 5k words. Day 4 is 50.5k words. This is with me putting in 80% of the planned details.
Minor Warning: I've had reports of some readers becoming brain ded due to the complexity, only to have better brain cells after recovery. In other words, this book may unwillingly enlarge your brain... Good luck...
Comment whether I should upload one split chapter every two or so days, or the entire Day at once. The former means consistent uploads but massive cliffhangers. The latter means no cliffhangers whatsoever, but somewhat inconsistent uploads. I'll try to keep a stockpile of about 2 or 3 days to prevent this from happening though.
Each chapter (basically upload) will contain around 2k words. The original plan was to do one Day per upload, but that was scrapped when I wrote Day 4. One Day is basically one chapter, but because of the varying length of each Day, they may be split over multiple chapters.

Also comment whether or not you guys want the mini dramas. They're meant to be in chibi form with no relevance to the story, just pure fun, when implemented into the comic. Although occasionally I'll drop some massive hints to the main plot line of the entire book through them for the theory loving peeps. Mini dramas won't count as the chapter that's supposed to be uploaded that day.
As for the plot line... Well I'm thinking about making this boi last 10 years (so 3650 chapters) but at the very least 3 years. I'm still not sure. Anyways, each major plot line will last for a hundred or so Days, and there should be enough detail in the novel to guess the main idea within the first 20 or 30 Days. For the sub plot lines, it will last for 20 or 30 Days and within 7 max Days you should know where it's heading.
Mind heck note: The entirety of book 1 is just a setup for book 2, have fun!
Alright now for the common misconceptions that may occur.
Yes it is a harem, but it is a harem done right. No 2D characters (more about that down below), no falling in love with the mc just because they looked at him. The first wife won't be officially wed until a 100 Days or so. Second wife will be introduced a few Days before this, although she probably won't be wed for another 300 or 400 Days.
Also, no ntr or rap*. There'll be close calls, but the mc will thoroughly annihilate everyone and anyone who attempts to touch his waifu.
Important note: Mc gets laid on chapter 69. The comic will also have "The 69th Night" chapter... ;)
Now for the most crucial bit of info.
This isn't a story, it's a world. Yep, you read it right. A hecking world. This means there are no 2D characters.

There will be some cases of a random dude tripping and bumping into the mc, causing him to drop his food. Plot significance of this event? None. Effects? Mc will be frustrated, causing him to act rashly in some situations that may occur.
Also, there is no plot armor or other mc perks… because this is a world, not a story. What happens if the mc dies? Can he be resurrected? Yep, if it follows the rules of the world. Regardless though, the world will continue and so will this book.
Just because our boi is the mc, does not mean he can't lose nor does it mean he is invincible. Things like "mc should be this and that because he is the mc" do not exist. Just because he is overpowered, does not mean he is invincible. After all, the term "overpowered" requires a power structure so it can be defined.
So what would happen if this power structure was replaced? Would our boi still be "overpowered" according to the new power structure? (it can be replaced by a change in setting, whether it's a new dimension, continent, or planet).
For our boi, knowledge is power in the literal and figurative sense.
As for how the chapters are set up… Because this is the Memories of the Gluttonous Sage, Day 1 is considered chapter 1 and so on (only difference is length). There are no time skips. There will be lazy days where the mc does nothing or sleeps for the entire day though.
Bonus ducks info: I'll be trying to make this as scientific as can be. To the point our mc derives formulas for mana regeneration, magic circle usage, spell effects, etc. There'll be a variety of physics and math involved. Don't worry if you don't understand it, it's meant to be portrayed in the comic anyways (it flows better there). Also don't forget to question everything as even the smallest of things will usually be relevant later on.

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
