@redarx It's memorable alright. Although, I get the impression that the show dials it up a little, since the Manga, from what I remember (it's been a few years) was a little more "serious" in tone. @DoubleMangekyo I said that because I remember having a heck of a time finding it when I watched it a while back, and just didn't bother to fact check :P

@syko Still, it’s a good twist yeah? How many genre clashes go that way besides the whole Neir thing... Still never played the series...

I've actually brainwashed my twin boys (not-identical). They both love the idea of reading. When they were learning to crawl, I would read books with me and the book on the floor a couple feet in front of them to encourage them to start crawling. They were extremely curious about what was keeping my attention. We would read stories to them almost every single night before bedtime (punishment for extremely bad behavior was having the story time taken away). My biggest tool I used to brainwash the kids was the concept that "people seek to confirm that which they already believe". I talked about how great school was and told hem what they would be able to do when they learned to read and do math. I got them excited about things like pen and paper role-playing games and more. One kid I was a little too successful at brainwashing, when I told him how long Christmas break was he started crying. When Valentines Day came around the teacher had him fill out a card that had "love is" printed on it he wrote "scool" [sic]. He just got out of kindergarten and two days ago I asked him how he liked his summer break; he said "I don't. I hate breaks." The kid has already read three of the five books from the Prydain Chronicles on his own without help (AKA The Black Cauldron series). I didn't read that series on my own until I was well into first grade. My other son has struggled a little more but seems to be doing much better after he finished the summer reading class we put him in. Back on topic though, I prefer light novels over manga. I would rather read the light novel before watching the Anime or read the manga.

With the premium epubs for 6$, you'll get the bonus stories and no drm. Right now Amazon is doing a sale on Dendrogram volume 1 kindle (may not apply for all countries) for 2.49 if budget is more important to you.

@guspaz we can have Both at the beginning (at there weakest), both at a sort of "Standard" power and both at their most powerful. Also, it is stated that Azusa still gets experience so she still may get stronger

@terrence totally agree, specially with the Grimgar stuff you said. But imo I don’t mind fight scenes tbh, that is unless you know the mc is op and has almost no way of losing. That’s when it turns boring to me.

@drone205 My personal favorite SAO variation is "Kirito missed that Ragout Rabbit". Talk about a game changer.

The Save / Load "cheat" I mentioned earlier, I found the LN I was actually thinking about. It is on Syosetu. It has a manga adaptation on Bookwalker too. 「俺の現実は恋愛ゲーム？？　～かと思ったら命がけのゲームだった～」読んだ！ https://ncode.syosetu.com/n4565dq/ #narou #narouN4565DQ "Is my reality a love game? What? ~ I thought it was a life-saving game ~" The other WN mentions the possibility of taking lecherous action before the dude decides he's too kind to do that, but this LN / manga protag actually does cross that line. I don't know how I feel about that (kind of hoping he suffers karmically really badly later in this story for his actions). xC

If You are writing this story I think going on a popular or well-known writers site thing might be good(I know there are some out there just don't know any) or make your own site or blog thing and post it there. If you do post is on a blog site like Weebly or Wix or something then you probably would need to post a new chapter on a regular basis then. If you do make a blog or something then I likely read it. I really like the WN style books. examples of WN style books are: Konosuba Smartphone Isekai So I'm a Spider Rising of the Shield Hero Death March series where there is a forward-moving story yet never stays too long on any 1 arc or adventure or quest. I am still iffy on the whole Isekai AND Future thing. I think it is probably best to ditch the Isekai cuz the 5000+ yrs in the future is pretty much a new world (Earth 5000 yrs ago is not like Earth now heck even 100 yrs ago we have advanced so much). Whether you do the world is a dark age or the technology is so far advanced or a little bit of both where they have the tech but no one remembers how to use them I would like it.

I’m a huge fan of this series and with the new games, the localization of every Date A Live game not in development right now, and the new anime, I think it could be a decent pick. I, someone who only reads certain series in ebook form, would easily buy each volume digital and/or physical day one.

Yen press is kind of slow. :( I wish J-Novel Club had gotten the rights for Kumo Desu Ga, they're already out to vol 7 in Japan.
