Save Scumming - Chapter Forty-Two
Dungeon map! It's... kind of crappy, but I think it works! I'm thinking the dungeon boss will be something deceptively easy? Maybe an undead knight or something?Chapter Forty-TwoFighting skeletons turned out to be both hard, and kind of easy.They had no vital organs, nothing to stab, and nothing to shoot. I sup...
Save Scumming - Chapter Forty-One
That's all for today, folks! But I think I can try for about the same number of chapters tomorrow. Sunday's a bust, tho :(Oh! Uh... once we start posting... I'm debating between twice daily for a full month, or once a day for two months. Which do you think would work best? Like, if you were reading this on ...
Save Scumming - Chapter Forty
I can't believe we've gotten to 40 chapters of this! I think I'll aim for 60 chapters by the end of the Month! Also, I need to start thinking of a good 'arc end' for this. Obviously, we're not going to make it to the Big Breach in one volume. We're 60K words in and only 1 week has passed of ...
Fluff - Volume Four - Chapter Thirty-One
Chapter Thirty-OneTrinity grinned. All on her? Well, there was a lot of her, so she was sure she could handle it!The first thing was getting across to the next building over. The zipline was taut when she tugged on it. “I’m ready,” she said.“Good,” Big Sister Emily said. One of you will tell me what you see t...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-Nine
Oh-hohohohoho! It's Miss Ojou! (she doesn't actually laugh like that... yet)Chapter Thirty-NineI woke up with a splitting headache and a wet feeling on the back of my skull. Then I heard metal grinding on metal and the clang of a door shutting.“Stay right the fuck there, bitch,” someone growled.I blinked, t...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-Eight
Okay, second... third attempt at the cover's typography. Thoughts?Chapter Thirty-EightThis time, I went in with my full gear. Not changing beforehand was... stupid of me.I took a taxi to a block over from the warehouse, only making a quick stop along the way at a convenience store to buy a burner phone. I found an ...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-Seven
I'll be taking the first week of August off. Half to prep for the launch of Save Scumming (I might write a few cheeky chapters!) And half to prep for the Hope//Punk Kickstarter on the 15th. Both take time, and I think I'd be best served if I had a few full days to dedicate to the task!Also, cover WIP:Chapter Th...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-Six
Is there a realistic way to knock someone out for like, an hour or two? Or will I have to be... creative?Chapter Thirty-SixI woke up at six-thirty something, feeling super awake and more than a little refreshed. Turns out, keeping my magic use to a minimum and reasonable amount, getting more than eight hours of sleep, ...
Dead Tired - Volume Four - Chapter Four
Chapter Four“Ah, I see, so this is the place?” I asked.“Indeed, your boneliness. After conducting a full geological survey of the region as well as calculating distances to and from Yu Xiang proper, and of course testing the ambient magical energy in the air, this location was determined to be the best. Further s...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-Five
Bit of a split-POV chapter. Wanted to give you a ride through Fran's head for a bit, rise the stakes. Hopefully it's not too jarring? Tried to be clever about it... that sometimes works, lol!Chapter Thirty-FiveI had time... like, a lot of it. Almost a whole day, in fact.I decided to spend it somewhat productive...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Chapter Sixty
Chapter Sixty***“So, uh, your sister was saying that you’ve been staying pretty quiet?” I asked. It was the first conversational thread I could think of. Knight gave me an unreadable look, and I hoped that she didn’t think I was throwing her under the bus.“Yeah,” Princess said, sounding a bit sad. “It’s...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-Four
Hmm...So, we kind of designed the look of Jane and the Mc together. What should Our dear Miss Ojou look like? I mentioned her being blonde here, but that's an easy thing to change. What kind of look we going for? The... classic?Chapter Thirty-FourJane had pretty much everything I needed already in storage somewhere...
Sporemageddon - The Detective One
Been thinking about doing this foreeever! so, this is the alt-POV for Vol 5 of Sporemageddon. The Detective. The one who will be finding clues and slowly hunting Mushie down.It's a race!(Plus I get to indulge and write long, Noir!Style segments here and there, hehe)The Detective OneSeveral Weeks PriorHe’d never b...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-Three
Ohhh, I need to learn how to time skip some more! I'm thinking... MC will try some stealthy stuff, realize she sucks at it, and then will spend a full day practicing until she sucks less at it. Then realize that she doesn't know silent takedowns, and have to go practice those as well. Ahhhh, I wanna write moooo...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-Two
I'm back! Slept for 9 hours! Crazy! First time I do that in a while, recently it's all been 2-3 hours max per night. Anyway! New chapter! Next one... hmm, how much time do we wanna spend on prep? And can our intrepid heroine even take on a D-ranked dungeon?Chapter Thirty-TwoA week was a long time, and part of t...

Cinnamon Bun - Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Eight
Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-EightThe Weakling’s Rest came up ahead of us, and it was a strange sight to see. If Come Here and Die was a metropolis, then the Weakling’s Rest was barely a polis.Or something like that.The town was hidden within a sea of dunes. Far, far to the west were the mountains we’d been kee...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty-One
Alllright! So...Not for the Long Week, but for... uh, during it? Anyway! I'm thinking it'll be time for Deadline to make a second and third appearance. Once in another E-rank portal. Then after that... I was thinking she foils a heist of some sort? I want to show her being really badass in public, doing somethi...
Save Scumming - Chapter Thirty
Bit of a small fight, but the MC wasn't really that involved in it, so I guess it's just the way it is! Thanks for all the feedback, btw! Really encouraging to see people enjoying the story <3 Makes me want to write more!Chapter ThirtyThe big room took a solid hour to clear.Dharti’s lure spell was invaluable ...
Save Scumming - Chapter Twenty-Nine
So... hmm, it's not here yet, but I was thinking the MC would pick up two 'mainstay' cantrips. One for Nature-adjacent magic, one for Void-adjacent magic. You've seen a few cantrips already. They're generally kind of weak, and with them being adjacent, that means that they'll mostly be non-physi...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Chapter Fifty-Nine
Chapter Fifty-Nine***I tried not to sigh, but... yeah, I sure felt it.Princess reached out, almost as if to grab me, then hesitated before she could. “Oh, come in! Please, please, make yourselves at home. Oh! I should get changed! I’m not dressed for guests!”Wait, so this was how she dressed normally? She had paj...
Save Scumming - Chapter Twenty-Eight
Okay, so... first, I made a change to the previous chapter. Added this description to the armour section:```As for gear, I had a holster for my Myalis Feline9, room for three extra magazines, an IFAK, a pouch with utility gear, and a light backpack with a standard set of tools. Mostly rope and glowsticks and the like.A...
Save Scumming - Chapter Twenty-Seven
Taa-daa! New chappy! Next one is the Portal run. Very different from the first since... well, they're a little overqualified for it. Anyway, AI art of the MC in tactical gear:Hmm... AI still ain't that good. But maybe I can get Mingrix to draw something? They're on another project for me at the moment, tho....
Sporemageddon - Psilocybin Three
Psilocybin ThreeHome was home.It was maybe a little more deteriorated than it had been in prior years, and maybe some of the neighbours had left only to be replaced by others, but the essence of it was the same. It was home.I wouldn’t say that I was proud of my home.Maybe if I was more of an optimist I’d say someth...
SCS Fansongs by Kurio-P!
Hi! Kuroi just launched the music vids for three new SCS fansongs! (My fave is Spot the Model, it's goofy) Thought I'd share!MAKE IT CAT https://youtu.be/RIb-VdHtzSA BE NOT AFRAID https://youtu.be/kKF-CTmOhfo SPOT THE MODEL https://youtu.be/8oKFHqcPvhA
Save Scumming - Interlude - Mister Couchtop
Felt a bit silly :3Interlude - Mister CouchtopHe sat upon his cushiony throne and observed as his servant paced.She had changed recently. For one, she was leaving the house for extended periods, which was unacceptable and rude. He did not like this. For another, her scent had changed, more stress, more... heat, more ne...
Save Scumming - Chapter Twenty-Six
Not a very exciting chapter. But the next one should be! It'll be from Mister Couchtop's POV, I think. That feels fun~ After that, the next portal, and after THAT, we can look into some other stuff that I'm far more excited about!Chapter Twenty-SixI created a Save as soon as I entered the gym.This wasn’t ...
Save Scumming - Chapter Twenty-Five
Ah, here's a version for you weirdos who use Dark Mode instead of allowing your pretty eyes to burn like us superior Light Mode users: Subject to change on my whims~Now... more magic talk. Then I think I want to skip ahead a smidge. The next big event is the next day, with the next portal. This one's going to b...
Stray Cat Strut - Volume Eight - Chapter Fifty-Eight
Chapter Fifty-Eight***The next couple of days were surprisingly quiet. I went to school, cuddled with Lucy, ate lots of good food, chatted with Nya and Gomorrah and stood next to Shy while she refilled her social batteries.It was nice, but there was still the looming threat of something awful on the horizon.Not the con...
Save Scumming - Chapter Twenty-Four
Oh, here's a terrible diagram!Also, more magic. Lemme know if this feels cool and somewhat realistic-ish? I'm trying to find a good middle ground for the MC's rate of progression compared to anyone else's. Chapter Twenty-FourWork ended kind of unceremoniously. Just... five o’clock rolled in, and I was...
