Something different. Talking Pro Wrestling for a second. I don't know how many of you guys are fellow wrestling fans out there, but I've really gotta let this out for a moment as a lifelong WWE fan.
It's Wrestlemania weekend which is supposed to be the absolute pinnacle of the WWE calendar year. The biggest stage, the biggest matches and the conclusion to everything that was built in the last year.
And for even more context, the way I have presented the School Idol Festival in my story as a grand spectacle event was inspired by Wrestlemania.
I'm upset as to how poor this show has been. An event known for past legendary 30+ mins matches has been reduced to 8 mins per match in which nothing differentiates them from the matches we see weekly on RAW and Smackdown.
Only to now introduce commercial breaks after each match which then end and throw us into even MORE commercials from WWE themselves and always panning the camera to their celebrity friends in the crowd. The crowd btw who paid up to $16,000 for tickets to attend and watch this.
4 hour show, with close to an hour combined of wrestling so far (before the last match of Night 1). They haven't even given us video packages to build the hype for each match (except the last). And they're speedrunning through the show like they don't even want to be there, focusing more on entrances than wrestling.
Right now, I don't recommend beginning watching this. Don't waste your time. AEW (the alternative) isn't all that great either than what it should be. Both companies are at a low point.
It's fine to like the current shows, matter of opinion after all. But to me it's become soulless.
Now, with that out of the way, we return to our regularly scheduled broadcast, expect a new Love Live SHATTER chapter soon. As we continue our road to the School Idol Festival.

Additional note. Night 2 was much better. Still a speedrun through the card, but the main event was sensational.

@SecondRound I can understand the frustration. A lot of the friends I have are long time WWE fans and have also said the same sentiment about Wrestlemania this year. It should be the pinnacle of the year but now it’s just reduced to corporate sanitation and that sucks. I remember seeing Tom Grossi’s reaction on YouTube in 2024, how much he was hyped and loved how loud the pop up was when the Undertaker showed up. Honestly, despite me not being a fan of pro wrestling, I also agree that WWE and AEW fans deserve better content than what we have now. Off topic, but this might have been the best Love Live fanfic series I have read, the lore, combing originally and adaptation, emotional buildup and the many twists and turns. It really got me inspired to do something like this in the future with the Idolmaster but I am not gonna promote it here. Even as it comes to the end, it was all worth it, can’t wait for the next chapter!

Woah, I literally read one of your books two years ago
The dork diaries about Maxwell negrini tryna steal Nikki away from Brandon, yeah, I loved that... Read all five books in the series one after the other, but it was on an ipad with no sim so I couldn't gush about how much I actually enjoyed the books back then...
It's nice know that you're still around doing what you love ❤️
SecondRound
@The_Pink_Warrior My Love Live fanfic series is my most ambitious work yet. Even more so than the original Dork Diaries fanfic series, complete with 2D and later 3D visuals. Nine books and still going strong, entering its final arc. I'd definitely recommend it.

@SecondRound Ooh, I don't think I've heard of that one... And you wrote some books that have a similar name so I'm guessing it's a fanfiction... I'll check it out (≧▽≦)

An update on the bot scam comments.
Previously I stated a list of what to do when you see one of these freaks commenting trying to sell you the idea of turning your story into a comic or trying to get you to communicate with them outside of Wattpad.
I said to
1. Do not engage or reply to the comment.
2. Report the comment and user
3. Delete the comment.
Well, turns out you should ignore step three and do not delete the comment. This is so Wattpad can review the comment so there is a valid claim to shutting the bot account down.
They'll delete the comment for you.
So yeah, keep safe and do not fall victim to these criminals.

Another game bites the dust.
SecondRound
@MediterrenianGaming It's not being updated. There is no schedule and it doesn't cost a dime to keep active. So it will stay even after this franchise unfortunately inevitably dies, but it most certainly isn't an active game. Even SIF2 global was active for the short embarrassing timespan it had. And none of the Yohane games or the Nijigasaki Visual Novel count either. Neither do the old arcade games. What does count is a live service game with an update schedule and is constantly evolving with time. Like a SIFAS or a SIF. But those actually cost money to run, and it's pretty rich that they refused to go global for Hasunosora (and SIF2 for a while) and then complain that they're not reaching enough people to make money from. Whales aren't enough this time.

@ SecondRound Not in that sense, Tokimeki Runruns is currently the only playable Love Live game, and I know it's offline, of course. If anyone knows of another game, please let me know.

Goodbye, my wonderful Kaho and Sayaka, congratulations on your graduation. (Oh and Ruri too, of course)

Another wave of bots has hit Wattpad comment sections and profile posts.
If you see anyone claiming to be an artist or a publisher who states they want to commission art for you or turn your story into a comic or publish it. IT'S A SCAM.
They usually share their Discord or other socials in an attempt to lure you away fron Wattpad so they can prey upon you in private.
If you see any of these comments on your stories or profile, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM. Even replying to them telling them to go away will only put you in an algorithm for them to send even more bots at you since you became active with them.
To keep yourself safe from these criminals, here are the steps you can take.
1. Block the account.
2. Report the account.
3. Delete the comment from your story.
I hope this message makes a difference and can help prevent someone from getting scammed.
Thank you for listening.

@SecondRound What The Hell Is Up With These Bots As Of Late... Sounds Like They're Getting More Annoying

I apologize to everyone for there being no new chapters lately. Lately life has been pretty challenging and I suffered a complete burnout.
Rest assured, I have finished writing a new chapter and it will be published soon.

@SecondRound Yes, it's still okay if you want to try for your fans. Look, I actually know that you want to try for your fans, but you don't really have to force yourself. I know that things are difficult right now, but you also have to pay attention to your health, because even though it seems like you, you know, you really need to do that for your fans. But some of us are waiting patiently. We may not know what life is like more or less and how, but I know you need extra effort if you sometimes want to upload a new chapter or whatever. So at least you, you make yourself, you can still consider your time and sorry, that's the wrong word. What I want to say is, you make, you just rest your body if you want to give in. If not, you will burn out and become easily stressed and because of all the pressure, you know. I come from a country that is mostly Muslim, so there's not much. So there's not much like that. So, you know, people in your country, if they're too stressed or mentally unstable, that's how it is. But what I want to say is, don't push yourself too hard. Most of us are loyal to you. We're willing to wait, even if it takes a long time. For example, the creators, the creators of famous novels like J.K. Rowling. Even to write the Harry Potter story, it took her, in her longest series, about seven years to finish it, if I'm not mistaken, the Prisoner of Azkaban series. Yes, although it's a different era now and it's not that complicated to create something, to write a book because now there's digital. But still, if your life is like that, at least you can... you can still rest for yourself, because I know, because I know there are so many people who, even in this day and age... Sorry, this just made it even longer. But I just wanted to say, I hope you're staying healthy, and I hope you can continue to write good chapters and take care of your health too. That's it for now.

@KyleBryantMelo 2026 marks 6 years of this story. I understand if over time, readers have lost interest and dropped reading it. People grow out of things I guess. Though that won't stop me from appreciating the readers who are still around or who are just beginning. Engagement is just a bonus. Finishing the story is the true goal.

Happy Birthday to my absolutely precious baby, my best girl, my comfort character, my favorite character in all of fiction...
Hanamaru Kunikida from Love Live Sunshine!

@Luigi_Okita It's not that I forgot Aki's birthday. I just didn't think a Q&A would be necessary due to the lack of engagement and it offering nothing to the story.

@SecondRound You forgot our protagonist birthday... Akihiko Suzuki. Anyway, you still remember your best character birthday - that enough. Another anyway, about our Love Live fanfic, is it still ongoing?
