Assault Lily is pretty unique for 2.5 stage plays, having:
- A core narrative spanning multiple plays that is NOT an adaptation of something else
- Live streams of performances
- The creator appears frequently to talk to people and field questions about lore
- Talk shows featuring the actresses

My past was painful because I lived in the shadows — and that’s exactly why fiction saved me as an otaku.
That otaku spirit is the root of everything I create.
Hearing you say that means a lot to me.

Thank you.
@fuyuki216.bsky.social thank you for making such a wonderful and affecting work. i learned of you after beating Crymachina and i now view your name as a selling point. i appreciate you continuing to write stories that touch the heart of people across the world while never losing that 'otaku touch.'

素直なだけじゃものたりないでしょう?

What fun would it be if I was just a simple girl next door?

(...It's a song lyric but it counts, right?)

A lot of my work deals with gender and queerness!

I've never had an issue with "gifted kid burnout," but man oh MAN, "gifted kid aversion to not being immediately good at something right away" has been a lifelong struggle.

I cling to my incremental gains in coding/gamedev and Japanese like a fucking life raft.

This is random but whenever I see people going on snidely about how the majority of people are stupid or whatever, it feels like I'm witnessing dunning-kruger in real time. In this specific case it was scoffing over scam emails being too obvious so it was a lot of "hah, *I* would never fall for it!"

I wrote about Assault Lily again, this time about the Neunwelt Tactic and how it's just women's soccer played with a magic bomb. oneechan.bearblog.dev/the-neunwelt...

Me: I'm too tired and too old. I don't want to have to write lyrics to the melody of this song we're fan translating.

Wife: but it's fun ;.;

Stories don't need to have a point to exist, but what makes them rewarding is their ability to stick with us. A process that shortcuts an understanding of that ability, whether it's beautiful prose, playful language, subtleties of a character, or w/e is just shortchanging everyone to make a buck.

If you're reading MTL you might have an idea of what the work is but you're not actually engaging with the work itself. AI is simply finding a statistical correlation between words. It inherently can't 'understand' nuance, context within the rest of the work, or idiosyncratic turns of phrase.
As machine translation tools under the banner of AI become increasingly accessible and easy to use, the light novel landscape is at a crossroads. Do light novel publishers compromise their product for more speed, and if so, by how much?
Does the Light Novel Translation Process Need AI?
