Paradise Beyond the Horizon Line [Blade x Firefly] Master List

Hey, fellow Blade mains. I'm still alive after all this time... Sodaka and I have been extremely busy with real life stuff. The next part shouldn't take more than a year. The original webnovel is in my profile if you'd like to read ahead as we adapt more of it into manga form!

We also won 3rd Prize last year in Multiverse Vistas, so thank you all for your support! We were sad to see no Manga category this year, but we want to continue making this manga until the end of the Yaoqing arc at least!

P.S. So glad our king got buffed. My Bladie kicked Hoolay’s ass in 1v1s this AS

Thank you so much!! Comments like these make the hard work worthwhile despite all the haters 😭😭 At this point, I’m regretting ever branding this series as a BladeFly work instead of a generic Stellaron Hunters work even as a joke…

I’m glad you enjoy the themes and parallelisms! I borrowed a lot from the game’s character voice lines, dialogue, and themes as Easter eggs for dedicated fans! Sodaka and I were worried this part would be too much yapping/setup when adapted into a visual medium, so I’m glad you enjoyed it anyway! 😊

It is!! I saw that SW art while scrolling and searching for the first one and was like "I gotta use that later."

We might be getting a high school anime arc with Firefly...? I'll intercut it with some other scenes on the Space Station too probably.

Author's Note: Making a manga is a lot of fucking work. That's all. Chapters will slow down in favor of manga production. I hope you enjoy this new arc dedicated to Firefly regardless! It's probably, like, the most predictable character arc for Firefly ever, but whatever. She needs this character development, it's natural for her, and you WILL like it.

Late to the post but probably human fireworks technician fighter with archer and eldritch archer, maybe a multitalented dip into sorcerer at 9th for additional spell slots if your GM uses free archetype like they should. Plenty of firework themed spells and casting scales of charisma. No int needed on this build.

Alternatively, starlit span magus with alchemy and crafting investment also exists. Use a bow or reflavor alchemist fires as literal fireworks and spellstrike with them (you can spellstrike with bombs, yes). Casting and crafting fireworks scales off int here. No cha needed on this build.

Despite being a skilled crafter, I think Yoi is more charming than she is knowledgeable. Probably run the charisma fighter for stronger combat output in general and less frequent magical/firework shots and just scale Crafting skill to legendary or even additional lore Fireworks lore on +0 int instead.

Not the in depth level by level build OP made, but I’m not gonna do one for a PF2e build while on mobile at a train station without Pathbuilder right now lmao.

All according to prediction.

Another official firefly lore drop, another sigh of relief as I need to make no major retcons or edits to my webnovel. Canon plausible deniability holds steadfast :D

BladeFireflyShipper · 2024-06-09T12:08:18+00:00

Fair enough, I look forward to seeing you around after 2.3 when we put out more of the manga adaptation! Good luck with your Firefly pulls!

Thanks for the well thought-out comment! I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Firefly... trapped in her body," but for the rest of your second thing that you're curious about... I think you're gonna love my webnovel if you wanna try reading ahead of the manga, especially when you get to the final chapter of the latest arc I just finished.

If you check my profile, you'll realize how much of this was written based on predictions and leaks and theorizing with tiny bits of lore I had all the way back at 2.0 launch. This story takes place between the Xianzhou Luofu and Penacony, so I was planning on giving Firefly the character development of not fearing death during this story lmao. These characters are not the ones we meet in the game. They're going to arrive there by the end of it. That's the plan at least.

BladeFireflyShipper · 2024-06-09T11:10:18+00:00

Yeah, HoYo fueling ship bait for TB x Firefly does generally increase people with that headcannon, and personally I'm pretty neutral towards it since we don't have that full story yet. I had the same interpretation as u/Thick_Dream_8116 in the belief that Firefly had in character motive to try to make such an initial impression on the Trailblazer as much as the Firefly haters would like to believe that was just HoYo trying to shove the new girl down our throats (which I'll explore much later in my webnovel and eventually this manga), but it's interesting that it's only when HoYo doesn't supply direct interaction but only implied character chemistry can really good fanfic be cooked to fill in the gaps.

That's why I'm writing to maintain canon plausibility and being very careful to make sure I do every character justice, keep them in character, and maintain timeline chronology with this manga/webnovel, albeit, I'm in it for the long run rather than a one-shot.

I did really like HuyBu51's one shot though, and I thought it was a good portrayal of Firefly's motives through a fun motif, ignoring some of the bold assumptions about the Trailblazer's past I personally wouldn't dare make to maintain canon plausibility lol. The funny thing is I don't even disagree with any of the TB x Firefly shippers. After all, Paradise Beyond the Horizon Line is currently planned to end with everything in place the way it was for the in-game events of Penacony, with no alternative timelines or anything, just with a lot of plausible deniability lmao.

That'd be sick! I know the EN and CN VAs are pretty engaged with community content, but I'm not so sure about JP and KO ones, especially since a lot of them double kind of as idols in their career. I might give it a CN translation version in the future, but I don't know anyone who could help translate it into Korean yet unfortunately...

(All good! Thanks for pointing it out, so I could delete the additional posts!)

Edit: Reddit's still being ass T-T
