Comment on so my editor told me to start a blog by thatguyfroma

Hello and thank you for this really kind comment.

I’m glad you enjoyed the story and the themes, including the one pertaining to “flaws”: they are what makes living creatures (in this case, humans) interesting and colorful. Another big theme is “perception”, and I wonder if your own perception of the story’s universe will change during novel 2 and 3. And I’m also glad you enjoy the chaos, because there are very few stories in this world as chaotic as novel 3 is shaping out to be.

There was a point where I could better relate to reading as a main activity to the point of taking place during hours where one was supposed to sleep as well: around five years ago, I would barely sleep and read hundreds of books through the nights. The activity was fun even though those days weren’t fun in general. If you haven’t read it already, I suggest the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.

Regarding the references, I have considered releasing an annotated file on them. It would kind of spoil the fun for some, but would help many others get exactly how nerdy the first volume was. My editor got quite a lot of them and it was fun for everyone.

Once again, thank you for the comment and I hope you enjoy the following stories too!

Hi, I just read the first tome and I have only one thing to say : AWESOME !!

I am a person, who has reading has main activity.
I spend more time reading stories than doing anything else (even sleeping hehe).

There are real good points in your narration.

The stories is a bit chaotic : this is great !!

You do not predict what will happen next : you put in application the principle “the authors are gods, the only limit is yours imagination limits : so just use your power !”

I love the references, even if there are some I don’t grasp, they’re still fun !

Your characters are all great, they feel as real as fictional.

They mix possibilities and impossibilities, they are not limited.

I love the main character : he is one of the best hero ever : he is just an unlucky fellow, just someone normal and stay it !! He does have a great understanding of some things but stay utterly clueless as some others

Heroes that stay into (or into almost) human limitation are few. You managed to let him stay full of flaw, like his daydreaming, yet still loved.

I came here after reading the afterword and decide to become a fan (yep, it worked).

Anyway, keep the great work, And thanx for your Great work. (looking forward reading whats follows)

It would be an honor. If there’s anything you need in order to help you with the translation/adaptation, I’d be glad to help!

Something new, but I have my writer’s talents and because himself what’s important that can be for a person your history. ( I am writer and have a couple of finished novels ) I Am Not a great translator, but well I can have a try at it and passing Spaniard your novel, adapting her to the Spanish with my talent of writer. I doubt that somebody else pluck up the courage to translate something himself Original, but good I see potential to history. You suit someone’s purposes that you have more readers.

Busy, tired, and generally apathetic. But always with ample time ready to devote to a good read.

Sorta, but remember how the novel was a joke too at first? Taking jokes too far is a big part of who I am. May I ever joke about destroying the world, fear for your life.

There will be orchestral stuff in the OST too, and this is totally not a joke.
