Reviewer with opinions on fiction. Might talk about translation from time to time. A lot of site update talk (probably). Also writes stories.

Reviews and the like (will be) on my site: theannyblog.com (undergoing some construction, excuse the mess)

Due to my declined health that has caused me to visit the ER recently, I've talked to my hubby about revising and editing old posts.

The plan was to be fully done and all of them up by Christmas, but I'll try to get through all of it by late June instead.
I forgot to mention part 19 of Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin is up on the site.

I can't say exactly when the next part will be up because I have more drafting to do, but I think this is a good place to pause for how long it will be before I post the next part.

This is from a couple of days ago, but because of the timing, I just wanted to say this:
Thadus's relationship with water… is currently interesting. He has nothing against water spirits, and he sees water as a necessity for reasons… but at the moment (in publication) he's also rather MISERABLY WET.
Greetings, #NovemberWorldbuilders! Let's talk about your MC today. What is their relationship with water like? Do they know how to swim? Have they ever caught a fish? Or is it just something that gets in the way during their long journey? Maybe they've never *seen* a body of water so big

Whoops! Forgot to say part 18 of Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin is up as of last night!

Part 19 will either be up today or tomorrow.

I posted the first installment of Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin arc 2 in the early morning hours.

I also updated the story information with some content notes. Nothing wild, just a heads up if someone has an extremely low tolerance for *gestures vaguely* general survival, I suppose?

I don't think people realise how much one comment can shape someone's willingness to make content relating to that.

But also, if you disparage someone, who mostly makes reviews on straight/mlm content, one of the few times they make wlw and tell them they must hate mlm too, you're the problem.

7S releasing baihe is a blessing in the sense that it'll allow the market for it to widen.

It's a curse because it's 7S and I distrust them.

Regardless, I'll probably not read it. That one comment earlier this year made me unwilling to ever review baihe ever again, possibly GL altogether.

Counting down the days I will need to revive my Golden Terrace livetweet thread on Twitter for the 7S edition.

Also weeping internally because I'm about to finish my current read-through of the PFH edition and can't touch it after this because I want to give the new translation a chance.

Check this setting—it changed without your consent! I used to get warnings when a user was labeled “rude” but that was turned off by default.

Change it!!
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I just posted the first chapter of I Summoned a Demon, who Made Me Sign a Contract.

This might have been more suitable on Halloween, but I only just finished proof reading after putting it on hold for literal months.

The full Rockforge arc of Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin, or The Unfortunate Misadventures of Lord Thadus has not been published on my site!

I will begin posting arc 2 in November, but not during Hallowtide.

The part of Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin I scheduled yesterday is up. I've also scheduled another one for tomorrow.
October 26, 2025 at 10:35 PM
Updated with a new part of Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin, and scheduled on in for tomorrow as well.

Yesterday I finished drafting the first arc of the Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin. I'll try to post scenes 11-16 of it soon so y'all can join me in the second arc.
October 23, 2025 at 11:54 AM
Well, tomorrow was later than expected, but I spent 2 days with an ear ache.

That said, Observations Among Thieves and Other Vermin, aka Thadus, is up.
October 21, 2025 at 10:02 PM
I have just updated with another part of Thadus. I will schedule 10-13 tomorrow unless I forget.

Additionally I'd like to mention I've given it a (LONG) title.

I have a new favorite character and want to share him with everyone:

(He's... a lot)
I have updated the site with a new Thadus chapter. I have 3 more scheduled, so that's one a day for 4 days in a row. Possibly more if I finish more of these.

If you like this story, please share it. It's about an insufferable spellcaster who visits normal people and suffers.

Am I the only one who used to write my name and the date the book was bought or given to me in my teens?
October 17, 2025 at 3:48 PM
I wish I could magically just receive all the books I want to review, free of charge.

Like, dude, my wallet is crying. October is a birthday month, then comes December, which is, well, Christmas, and then comes 5 birthdays in 3 months.
October 13, 2025 at 10:06 PM
Unless there's a demand for a book to be earlier, the order of @rosmei.bsky.social releases will like be…

1. How to Survive as a Villain v1
2. Nan Chan v2
3. Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire v1
4. Don't You Like Me v1
5. A Break in the Clouds v1
6. Global Examination v1

Not me noticing a title I've briefly reviewed in the past now is other platforms than back then and thinking I might have to do another check on all the already reuploaded posts to update tags and information.

Me, mid-September: Ah, looks like I won't be ordering more than one more book this year.

Rosmei: Not so fast. Here are the volume 2 of both A Break in the Clouds and Global Examination, two of your favs.

Me: *opens emptied wallet* ( ; _ ; )

I have updated the index page (the page you arrive on when going to theannyblog.com) for the site, as well as done some minor adjustments to the Disclaimers page.

"You can come watch, Mum. It's just a plant."

"Go away, Mum! There's a skulltula!"

"Oh, a small skulltula. It's not scary. Unless it's Mum."

"Skulltulas can appear here! If you hear the enemy music, Mum, it's those."

God, I love my son. 😂
