I think the problem I ran into before was that the last time I looked into this I wasn't able to find a complete list of every issue of Yasei Jidai that had a chapter, just the start and end date of the overall serialization, and I don't think this was a monthly serialization (but I could be wrong)

I'm pretty sure it was but I can try to find out in more detail how they line up

Anyway it turns out that the real steal in that lineup was this game, which I think is only rare because the company that made it went out of business before it came out

why do you think i said it!

Also not a bad show, apparently

All in all it took me 190 games to get to 5th Dan, and I still haven't been knocked out of a game once. Kind of proud of that.

My luck has been a bit better in riichi city, although now I've been moved up into the next tier lobby and I'm terrified to imagine what kind of monsters are in there.

Calling riichi on a single-sided, single tile wait because I've got enough of a lead and I think it would be funny, and then drawing it myself two turns later. I ain't never gonna die

Yep, this will be the end of book 1 (and a little over a quarter of the way through book 1 of the complete edition). Almost thirty pages of more Wings of Rean coming this Saturday.

👍

I've also been seesawing up and down a lot in my quest for 5th dan in Riichi City, but I did at least get this today

Following 5 very strong performances in mahjong soul’s gold room, I had a particularly disastrous run over the next 8 games, dropping over 500 rank points as I grew progressively more tilted. I’ve retreated to the silver room to recoup some of those points before I come back again.

In its lowest configuration (if someone else had discarded the 5-wan instead of the 8, with no ippatsu), this hand would have only been worth 3,900 points. It was truly a lucky break

Going into the last round with a 13,000 point deficit to third place and a very unpromising starting hand, I was almost certainly going to end up losing this game, and then...
(I took 2nd)
