《On Astral Tides: From Humble Freelancer To Astral Emperor》Dramatis Personae, Image Gallery, Request Thread and Inter-act Announcements *not a chapter* *WIP*
Advertisement
Progress Report: - Reread Currently at Chapter Zero - Update: Suggested corrections now all completed, now to prepare my preliminary .epub for the re-read, and also edit the synopsis. First interlude has been selected, for hopeful release tomorrow or Wednesday. It will be Aiko and family, as well as her classmates.
Dramatis Personae/Character List
Currently empty as not started lol
The character list, I intend to have first appearance, first named appearance, image if I can, speech quirks/naming conventions, and notable gained abilities and equipment. There should also be birthday for main characters and those where their birthdays might matter (Girls and family mostly). This isn't going to start filling up until further into the reread
Image Gallery
Also empty, this should fill up more quickly though as I progress the reread
A few people have asked for the images to be collected. As I go through, I'll likely add a few more, and also swap out some of the trashier images, so they'll be in here.
Glossary
Nothing yet, will fill up
I'll collect terms that have been in the story, such as Three Grandfathers, Six Noble Pursuits etc. for easy refresh for both you all and me *wink*
Q+A (1 Question)
DANDAN - How old is Shaeula actually? - Well, it's dangerous to ask the age of a lady. I would say she's roughly a century old, which is young for a Fae, but Fae don't have any specific maturity traditions. Before, she was a spoiled, selfish brat as the rumours of her stated, but now she has grown up into a fine lady, though she still retains her playful, youthful side and wicked, sometimes immature sense of humour.
It seems a good time for a Q+A. Not saying I will/can answer every question, but feel free to ask away!

Requests for Interludes: - Now, I'm not going to leave you all high and dry this month, i'll be doing a few short interludes each week. They won't progress from where we finish, obviously, but will basically be reactions to the changing world, and Shaeula's speech/Akio's appearance. So, I have a few in mind, but I will be taking requests, so as long as it won't break anything/seems fun, so feel free to fire away.
Editing/Slight terminology Changes/Character sheet refresh
As I'll be doing the reread (I really need to to refresh my memory lol) I'll also be gathering any remaining errors i can spot and fixing then. I'll also change a few minor names etc. (finally Ilya will get a female name lol), it should all be minor but I'll list it here. The character sheets will be adjusted slightly, and I'll also add changes from the prior sheet to them all, and that will continue through into Act 2, so might help people remember.
Updating the .epubs and writing the new degenerate edition chapters
At the end there'll be three versions of the .epub, the RR version, uncensored SH version, and the Degenerate edition, which should have six extra lewd chapters and some extra lewd artwork. I still have to write three of these chapters as I go along heh.
Other ideas/suggestions
Anything else you think I could do/improve during this period, feel free to suggest. Some people have suggested a discord, not sure if we have the demand for that, what do people think? Anything else? Not saying i'll do every suggestion, but i'll consider them lol.

Artisan
Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon. The offending novel is The Artisan by Jon Moremont - obviously a GoT fan who didn't even read the blurb properly and put a wizard on the cover. Just wanted to let everyone know that this book has nothing to do with me, and has no new content. Thanks, and sorry again - LF Superhero Litrpg Skills, level-ups, powers, crafting, and base-building. Releasing a chaplet daily, ~1,200 words. It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high. In the era of the quantum computer, autonomous systems have taken over as the backbone of the workforce. Justin, 20 years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back, and since his government stipend will cover the expense, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new game: A Time of Heroes. Justin has never been that into multiplayer games, but for a full-immersion virtual reality where he can play a Superhero, Justin is definitely in. 'Superheroes and Villains are on the rise in an alternate America of 2020. Forces of good and evil must band together to control the future'. Justin plays Artisan, an alien AI trapped on Earth.Inventor, hacker, and gadgeteer to a team of heroes. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave reviews and comments.

Three Hundred Years After The End Of The World
Three hundred years after the end of the world as humanity knew it, the gears of an old plan slowly begin to move again, as a group of self-imposed reincarnators, along with their equally unlikely companions, gather once again to set things right... but does the world they plan to restore need, or even want, their help? Follow the misadventures of an eclectic bunch of genius misfits as they attempt to assemble and fix the world they accidentally devastated in the past. ~~~ Author's note: This is actually the first volume of a novel I wrote nearly a decade ago for the VNDB discussion boards, taking inspiration from the random off-topic ramblings that characterized the golden age of the community. After sevear years and countless rewrites, it is pretty much unrecognizable, but while it is not fit for professional publishing (due to the fact that several fragments and older versions are still out there on various forums and blogs), I decided it is a waste to just let it sit idly on my hard drive forever. As such, I decided to share it somewhere where people could maybe appreciate it, so here it is.

The Demon Lord Candidate
Samael was a half human-half demon which is a result of a human experiment. He somehow did not lose his sanity unlike other test subjects, and the Devil jewel shard infused miraculously. He escaped with the help of the jewel’s power and was on the run. The kingdom has issued a huge bounty over the last remaining test subject, to be retrieved dead or alive. Things looked grim for Samael while fleeing from the military, bounty hunters and also struggling to not lose his sanity as the shard started to take control of his body and converting him to a demon. The jewel’s acceptance itself meant he was deemed worthy to be a candidate to the Demon Lord’s position, the sole human to be a demon lord candidate among the other chosen 100 pure blooded demons. This is the journey of Samael's survival and his quest for revenge.
