Lingering Wanderer | writer on Royal Road & Tapas

it's so easy to lapse into the rule of three even when it's not Dante's pov...

I budget max for certain chapters HAHA like mental maxxing the action

I took a certain direction with my story, and this can lead to a spectacular April fool's trick next year HAHAHA

bad decisions incoming on 7 November~

As someone who understand Chinese, Chinese netizens are on a different level when it comes to creative insults

it's like beating a dead horse over and over w insults, but id i were one of them and a Chinese fan, I would too

Because wdym they didnt even put up a fight and got dogwalked 3-0 on the semis

i follow league of legends esports and Chinese fans make me cackle with their roasts about their own teams

When man is born,
At the root, he is good.

When Dante became a sorcerer, he could never bring himself to alter his father's memories.

when i want to torture myself, i write a full chapter/short story in markdown on vscode.

it's the closest i can get to writing on a typewriter

but to be fair, i write my blog posts on vscode... hmm...

"Ladfy Meng"

OMG HAHAHA

im too passive for these things 😪

Well at least you know it's written by a human LOL

fark lah I forgot to propagate the edit changes to Tapas for Chapter 40

TYPO ERRORSSS

Oh, yeah, slight cover redesign for better legibility

"New chapter out! New chapter out!" I screamed into the internet void.

anw chapters with his pov can read off as a bit stiff, hes very robotic and blunt

His Regalia has 3 forms: ring, whip, monocle

He technically has 3 weapons (spoilers though)

And he wears 3 rings in total

grey and gray... i mix them up all the damn time

The rule of 3 is rather integral in his character. From speaking, to weaponry and his lil' clique

Also dunno if yall noticed, Dante's inner voice (sometimes carries over to how he speaks) tends to speak robotically.

my partner is offline for the next 2 days, so im keeping myself entertained

i hope he doesnt see the excerpt tho oops

"eh what you writing again?" - probably his reaction

Yeah, I'll publish it soon, just needa rush another short story in the meantime

I read and watched Patrick Melrose, so some of Patrick's voice carried over. Doesn't help that they are both British. Also, I added a bit of personal experience into it oops

Dante studied his father’s hands closely. They looked smaller now. Harmless. Strange what death did to him – reduced a tyrant to biology, rage to cold meat.

The face was his father's. Grey. Slack. Conclusively dead. Dante’s eyes drifted down to his father’s hands, which were mottled with age marks. Those hands used to play a brilliant game called ‘How Many Times Can You Slap Your Son Until He Stops Crying!’.

(Posting an excerpt, skip if you are uncomfy)

Bad News, Have a Good Day is a short story that deals with heavier topics. It's my first attempt at writing about complex grief. It's a cut scene that became a standalone short story (still canon to the main storyline)

Finally finished editing that short story I was meant to put up, had to iron out some timeline kinks and all
