Weekly Update #127

Alrighty. In completely unrelated news, I'm officially a week into keto (again) and doing far, far better than I've ever done on it before. Who would have thought that actually getting enough electrolytes would make such a massive difference? Seriously, I'm just never hungry except in the morning and easily full throughout the day on only 800 calories, but I am making sure to eat more than that since that's a bit too far under my maintenance calorie intake. I'm even doing intermittent fasting again with it, which is something I've always struggled with, but not this time! Heck, I have to force myself to eat just because I never feel hungry after breakfast. That makes fasting pretty easy, you know?

But yeah. I've felt great. This isn't my first time doing keto, but it's already the most successful time going by how it's making my body feel. I'm properly counting nutrients this time, making sure to get real portion sizes, taking vitamins for stuff I'm lacking (especially vitamin D), and so on. The first couple of days days were a bit rough like always, but my body has always adapted quickly when getting into keto and now I'm fine.

I've also had way more energy. Seriously, I went from sleeping for 8 to 12 hours a day and still feeling tired all the time to... sleeping 4 hours a day and feeling wide awake all the time. I honestly wasn't expecting that. A 2 hour nap is enough to keep me going for 12-16 hours, so all I need is a 2 hour nap every now and then and I'm 100% fine.

But yeah part 2. I'm seriously trying to take better care of my health. My blood pressure is doing a bit better from trying to decrease the stress in my life, but it's still dangerously high. The answer why is pretty obvious, too. So, it's time to take serious care of my health for probably the first time ever in my life.

I'll do my best!

And now for memes 'nd things:

Weekly Worksheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/139iRqduIevCacdP_nsq6lbOn7L53Ec0l/view

19 hours, 14,503 words. That includes work on a Patreon commission that I just finished right before I'm doing this since I was determined to get it done this weekend. It was also a commission regarding TQH, so now that I've finally gotten around to doing it, I think that is officially the last TQH-related thing I'll ever have to do. Of course, I mean in regards to the original series rather than the rebooted version of it. I'll talk about that down below.


The True Endgame

Without going into spoilers and trying to keep things vague, a lot of people had guesses about what "class" Saya would end up going with in. Yet, I don't think I saw even a single one of them guess what she actually went with. Everybody kept on guessing the same few things instead of what I thought would be obvious! So, either it wasn't as obvious as I thought it was, or people purposely tried avoiding the obvious answer.

Anyways, next chapter will have a heavy focus on "politics," so I'm looking forward to trying that out. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it as good as I want to since I don't have much experience with that sort of thing, but I'm still going to try my best!


Ero Dungeon Online

I wasn't sure how people would react to this latest chapter since it was basically focused on being an internet detective, but hey, it got a lot of likes and got people talking on here and the Discord server, so I'm glad that it seems like it was positively received! I had a lot of fun writing that one, and it allowed me to set up another new plot (seeing as how Damian clearly didn't already have enough plots to pursue).


Lazy Dragon Queen

And so, the volume has finally come to an end. Finally.

Finally.

Now volume 3 can begin! And with volume 3 comes a new area, new enemies, new towers, and a new queen that needs conquering!

I'm looking forward to this one a lot.


Other Series

I didn't really make any progress with the new series this week since I, to be perfectly honest, kind of got addicted to Minecraft again. There's also the adapting to new diet stuff that I talked about above which really took control of the first few days of the week which is when I'd like to be working on them. That aside, I did manage to type up a chapter for the next VRMMO series which was because I felt insanely inspired for it, and I also sent in new commission details for the next character from it.

Once I have Eros done with working on the characters and cover for the next VRMMO series, I'm going to have him do a new and improved TQH cover for the reboot.


Reading Report

I didn't read at all this week. Gomenasai. Well, technically, that's not true. I read a chapter of a friend's web serial, but it's part of the contest I'm co-sponsoring over on SH, so I can't really talk about it or plug it without feeling guilty like I'm manipulating the contest.

I also tried to buy a certain LitRPG author's book from his website because I wanted to use it as research material to see how he wrote certain things in it (not the LitRPG parts), and... I never got it. This is why I don't like ordering outside of Amazon. I'll probably send an email asking wtf is up and why I never received the book I purchased.


In Closing

That's all for now! Time to go play a bit more Minecraft before sleeping and then waking up for Haachama's return stream.

Thank you all for your continued support, and please look forward to this week's chapters!
