I am a child of the 80s. So when I saw that a Japanese figure company was doing two detailed bishojou (pretty girl) statues of two of the hottest women from GI Joe, I had to buy them.

A year later, the Baroness and Scarlett have arrived.

A sexy redhead with her crossbow is a must-have on my shelf, but the Baroness with her glasses has a playfulness about her body. Especially, in that skin-tight bodysuit she’s wearing. I am glad they arrived today. Love decorating my workspace with pretty girls to look at.

So inspiring!

I finished the rough draft on the (still untitled) sequel to The Fighter Awakens in the Naughty World (Ultimate Harem Fantasy 1). My first LitRPG novel was a huge success, and I am eager to get the second one out. It’s a long one and they take a lot of work to produce, but I’m thrilled to have this finished.

I’ll be launching into editing on this one and get it ready for my editor. I hope I can get this published in the next month before I go on vacation in March.

This busty elf mage is the cover art. This is Kulrigiizhai and we’ll be getting into her past and character in this book.

I started reading Altina, The Sword Princess 2 today. It’s a Light Novel by the same author as How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord. You’d never know it. How NOT to Summon is a harem isekai with sexual antics left and right. Girls in scanty costumes getting naked and throwing themselves at the hero left and right.

Altina is a strategy fantasy series. It’s got hardly any fanservice to it with a story about a young princess’s ambition to take the throne of the empire and relaying on a disgraced strategist who is haunted by guilt for his last lord dying in battle along with much of the army.

It’s a story about redemption and politics. If you didn’t know this was the same author, you’d be surprised. In America, I’d publish these books under two separate pen names, but Japan is such a different place. It’s why my traditional fantasy is published under my real name as opposed to my erotica.

Sigh…

Another fun problem this week. It started when my dropbox on my computer was stuck syncing. It was eating up all the read bandwidth on my hard drive every so often, making anything running off that drive freeze. I couldn’t open even simple .txt files. It happened right after a Windows 10 update.

After a week of trying things with dropbox customer support, they realized that it couldn’t properly read my harddrive. This was why dropbox couldn’t ever finish syncing. My 3 TB storage hard drive is dying.

I ran some diagnosis, but there were no bad sectors and the drive seemed to be working correctly without dropbox running. I started copying files off of it and found files that couldn’t be copied or opened. Nothing major, just files I could redownload but they were big files.

So now I’ve ordered two more 3 TB drives (I was debating upgrading or adding another drive). Fun times! So they’re in the mail from Infotech, a local company I’ve been buying parts from since the 90s.

And, lastly, I need to lose weight. I’ve been losing the fight for a year, gaining all the weight I lost. It’s so frustrating.
