Happy New Years everyone! 
          	Just wanna thank you guys for getting the Grim Reaper [Book 1] to 780k reads and Book 2 to nearly 80k. I wasn't expecting book 2 to do good since many people are anime onlys and cour 4 isn't out yet but then again, I expected this whole book to go relatively unseen when i first start it. Crazy to believe i started that book in 2024.
          	
          	I also didn't expect the DandaDan book to be as successful as it is in only 2 months.
          	
          	I can only hope my work is inspiring some of you to make your own books. That was my whole goal when I started.
          	
          	Here's to 2026, here's to hoping I can bring more stuff to you guys.

I'm very late but Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone. Today is my birthday but I don't have anything plan so I just thought I'd  let you guys know what I've been up to and what I've been brainstorming recently. Hopefully with your guys' help, I can hopefully write more stuff.

          I've recently gotten back into Umamusume. I got Manhattan Cafe from pity when she dropped in Global but unfortunately i barely missed the 30k carats I needed to pity the Kitasan Black SSR support card (feelsbadman). 
          
          Speaking of Umamusume, i began writing a story for it before I made the DandaDan Story, but unfortunately I genuinely didn't know where I wanted to take the story. I barely left the prologue. It'll probably stay that way for a while until we get more Umas in global.
          
          ----
          
          I got back into playing Melty Blood since a friend of mine gifted it to me on christmas. Playing Ushiwakamaru in that game made me slightly interested in learning more about the fate series but that series is so massive.
          
          ----
          
          Someone asked me earlier about a naruto story and I've been playing with the idea since the end of the bleach book. Specifically a very small Bleach x Naruto crossover with an Aizen!Male Reader (mostly just in abilities, not personality) but I've had so many ideas but I'm not sure how to implement them neatly into a Naruto story, so it's been on the backburner. It's also a huge commitment to do so I wanna take my time with it, if I ever do write it.
          
          ----
          
          As of right now, I might just write a chapter or two here or there with the DandaDan book covering the manga stuff. I'm not going to pressure myself to drop it in fear of burnout.
          
          ----
          
          That's all for me, I'm gonna find something fun to do or just laze about. Hope you guys had a good 2025.

Getting into the fate series isn’t very hard it all depends on which timeline you wanna focus on in my opinion i’d say start with the fate zero and stay night before looking at anything else

Lowkey wanna see a Naruto story from you, you’re a goated writer <3. All I can do is hope ig

@Based99 it all just depends on how Aizen!reader would exist morally. Is he just good? Neutral? evil? sounds like you're going the relatively good route though. 
            
            Team-wise, if you're gonna do momo, it's probably easier to drop tosen, but like... the trio aura farm of aizen, gin and tosen would be kinda lost. Why not like, captains, like byakuya(yes ik ironic considering my pfp), i feel like the dynamic would be funny, and someone who's kinda a wild card? Idk, never let me cook. I need that gin x rangiku tho. 
            
            Also, im pretty the 2 males 1 female thing was kinda just a popular trope during the 2000's, harry potter, atla stuff like that, it's not a strict rule in naruto since there's other teams(that have absolutely 0 screentime) with all girls or all boys, especially later, during shippuden and things like that. 
            
            I wonder how your take on Kyoka suigetsu would work, due to genjutsu needing mediums and things like that. Sword or the aizen water theory, or something totally out of the box.  And how your takes on Aizen's overall intellect and , lets say, horrible relationships with corrupt systems would be. I know whatever you do, it's gonna be peak

@j1njuu One rule I set for myself is that I always want the mc/reder in my story to always gain power steadily and have it feel worth it. I haven't read much naruto stories on this site but it's definitely easy to fall into that power fantasy trap it seems. 
            
            when it came to teams, I was torn between making the mc/gin/tosen as a 3 man team but even then, it breaks the rule that other naruto teams has, being 2 males and one female. I also thought maybe urahara/yoruichi, but i felt like having Urahara and Yoruichi be apart of the Anbu black ops was more suitable. For a female teammate, i felt Momo was a no brainer but that requires dropping one of the guys. One thing for certain was that I always wanted to have Shinji be the team leader (and maybe his hollow form is some sort of curse mark in this verse).

oh alr. (we can always slander Sakura and put Aizen on team 7, jkjk, that’s kinda overdone) the closest concept to what you’re describing is The genjutsu devil of Konoha, and that fic… it’s the typical power fantasy, I can’t lie. Stuff gets wacky fast. Grace and The ice prince and the ice princess are also a good naruto fics, i’m not really well versed in the shonen fic space on wattpad, so I can’t give much input here. Feel like Fem!haku would be cool too. Thanks for replying tho

@toruya12 i've given it some thought. There's so many ways to write a pokemon story, i really don't know what I'd wanna do for it though.

          That alongside, JJK Season 3 and Jojo part 7 and 2026 is looking like we're going to have a stacked lineup of anime.

Just an update to let you guys know I'm not dead.
          
          I'm still writing the Dandadan book. I just had bad writer's block for a few weeks but now I'm back into the swing of things. I'm halfway through Season 2.
          
          Don't know when I'll start posting chapters but I'm hoping to finish before Christmas. If I can lock in, I can probably finish the last 6 chapters in 1-2 weeks.
