I’ve been on a little staycation for the last week. Been chilling. The stress has been a lot less because I finally had my issues with Amazon worked out.
I eluded to this two weeks ago, but I published The World’s First Futa Saga Book 3 and Amazon didn’t believe I had the rights to it because I had published it for free on my blog.
This isn’t the first time this has happened. In fact, I had issues with the stories that made up this collection back in 2018. But this time, Amazon didn’t believe my proof that I owned my blog.
So I ended up having to file an expedite copyright registration from the US Government. And that wasn’t cheap to get it done faster than a month or two. So for that reason, I’m not going to publish things found for free on my blog with on exception, Dungeon Builder Harem.
This sadly means that though I have half of Futa Slime From Outer Space on Amazon, I can’t risk posting the rest of it. If Amazon doesn’t believe I have the rights, they could terminate my publishing account.
So Futa Slime From Outer Space is all up on Smashword, but will be shortly coming off Amazon. This wasn’t an easy decision, but I can’t afford the exorbatant cost to do another expedited claim on something that won’t make that much money on its own nor just the risk of losing my account. While I had found a way to keep Amazon from finding stories on my blog, if I forget to activate it, then Google caches the page and Amazon can find it. And, I checked, and a few of the Futa Slimes left to be published I messed up on.
But that’s life.
I hadn’t read much, but I’m working my way through Seven Deadly Sins. I’m into Volume 18 now. I really am enjoying it and surprised that, nearly halfway through the series (it’s 41 volumes) still missing the final Sin.
But they’re at least looking for him.
Still, it’s fun. Hawk continues to entertain. My theory on Elizabeth was confirmed and should help to deal with certain hangups she has. It seems were digging into Ban’s childhood and maybe how he gained his abilities.
Also, the series takes place in England. Didn’t realize that despite Arthur and Merlin being characters. Clearly, it’s some alternate version of England, but still England.
My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! Volume 9 continues to entertain me. I love this series. Though I was surprised that this book is having a plot point in my fantasy series I’m now publishing under my real name.
Same idea, though different execution.
The absurdity of it amuses me to no end. The world is bonkers. The characters and situations keep getting more outlandish. It’s a fun series. I really like Tsuyoshi Fujitaka’s style.
Can’t wait for Volume 10.
The NPCs in this Village Sim Game Must Be Real! Vol. 3 gets into what is actually going on in this series.
It was a neat idea.
I really enjoyed this series and hope there’s more coming. It’s a cross between an Isekai and, well, not sure how to give it a genre. It’s about a guy who is given a game called Village of Fate to beta test. The game is way to real to be installed off a floppy disc.
It’s a god sim game. He plays the God of Fate and has to guide his villagers as they start over after their town was destroyed. Only problem, it’s in real time, all he can do is give a single message to them to guide them once a day, and to use miracles with his faith points that slowly build up (or for predatory microtransactions he can buy them).
At the end of the month, he has to save them from waves of monsters who serve the Corrupted Gods.
Only it’s so clear that it’s not a game, he’s watching people in another world who are truly in danger if he can’t help them. It’s a very novel concept. I like it. Has some good characters and it’s great seeing the main character grow with the villagers.
On iStripper, found two very hot shows the last week (though their April Fools joke today of Kitties was pretty funny). Miss Olive was one hot nurse in I’ve Got the Fever. Just a delicious redhead in a sexy nurse’s outfit. The other was Chrissy White’s Half Term Holiday being just a naughty, naughty schoolgirl.
