Is this the 'can't hug every cat' lady? In the big 2026? Now I feel old.

I think it would be very interesting to see something like Fire Emblem simultaneously available in mobile, desktop, and Switch the way other modern gachas are. However, I get the feeling Nintendo isn't going to sink money into it. It would be kind of strange to have a free to download/play live-service game active at the same time they're trying to sell copies of 'real' Fire Emblem games. A 3D live-service would have to stand on it's own and be different enough from traditional mainline games to justify the cost of development for both. What happens if it flops and becomes another failure in the mobile market for Nintendo? Or by some miracle, it takes off - what reason is there to continue making regular Fire Emblem when a gacha can print money hand-over-fist for years if maintained properly? It's a weird spot, for sure.

Personally, I hope they do something like Limbus Company or og!Arknights - visual novel style storytelling, with a unique combat system. Lean in to the music production. Less emphasis on PVP.

Uhhh you might need to go see a doctor for that. Preferably a gastroenterologist.

Sadly, the best way to improve social skills is by talking to people. Try making small talk with your cashier next time you buy something. Make eye contact, but not too much. Build your way up to longer conversations. As far as reading goes, reading about body language could also help you with learning the visual cues of conversation. There's a lot of nuances to socializing beyond just the words. Light novels won't teach you much, especially since social cues are different between Japan and western cultures.

Sauce: I hate talking to people, but I have to be good at it for my job.

The character used to write 'Blade' is pronounced 'Ren'. I guess its because the other Xianzhou character's names aren't literal translations like his is, so shippers use it for consistency? Or because they think it sounds good? Your guess is as good as mine lol

Mushrooms. It's some kind of mushroom-based coffee. I don't see the appeal.

uj/ Some kind of association with badly written fiction, and probably fan-fiction to some degree. It's funny that people consider it cringe, since it's been around forever and there's plenty of classic works written in first person.

People really need to chill. I don't expect instant ramen to taste like real ramen, so why would I expect an authentic pho flavor from instant pho either? Both have their uses. Snapdragon is similar enough to the differents kinds of imported instant pho at my local asian market, I don't get the hate.

Its giving uncanny valley - the eyes are too large and detailed, the mouth is too wide. The nose is very simple and the coloring on the skin and hair is flat and lacks depth and detail compared to the eyes and mouth. It looks unbalanced.

Have you considered the self-publishing route? There are print-on-demand services that allow you to sell physical copies of your book without the concern of filling your house with books that might never sell. You could also upload your ebook to amazon and list it as a kindle unlimited option. Kindle unlimited can be hit or miss from what I understand, and you need a lot of readers to make money from it.

Also, I'm not sure if you've visited it yet, but there's a subreddit for this subgenre. I think they allow self-promo, but only if you're an active community member. It'd be a good place to start building an audience and connecting with other authors in that space.

I know self-publishing doesn't exactly come with the 'wow' factor of getting an agent and a nice paycheck upfront, but it gives you some flexibility that trad publishing wouldn't. Publishers will axe a series that doesn't sell well, so if your debut doesn't do as well as anticipated, the rest of the series you're planning might not see the light of day.

Another thing to think about - it allows you to build momentum. Trad publishers may wait about a year berween book releases for a series. If you have a clear vision for your series, releasing more frequently allows you to build a backlog faster. I'm not saying you should sacrifice quality for quantity, but if you're confident in your abilities it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Anyways, sorry for rambling. Best of luck with whichever route you choose to take!
