(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 161 - The New Unit
Author’s Note:Thank you all for your encouragement! I shall plan to take a break from 5/22-5/27. I think I have another week left in me so we’ll see!Now back to the story.Eh, not sure on Taog’s character development, hope it’s coming along well, but whatever! If his organic components are lacking we’ll just r...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 160 - Trust the Process(ing)
Author’s Note:Hi All, FYI I am considering taking a week off in one of the last two weeks of this month (either 5/22 - 5/27 or 5/29 - 6/03). I'll make my final decision at the end of this week and let you know. No particular problems but I havebeen writing this thing almost non-stop for like six months now, so mi...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 159 - Monstrous Blessings
Author’s Note:Melion is freaking outright about now. I’m sure this is a greatidea, Colleöne, that will definitely not have any massive consequences for the world!Though, given it's the Aesdes doing it this time, perhaps they’ve accounted for that? It wouldn’t be the first time Colleöne did something that ...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 158 - Blessings to You
Author's Note:...i have failed you all. There is no way to remove this dishonor save by seppuku....but I'm scared of disembowlment so guess I shall forever live with the shame of forgetting the author's note. Maybe I do need that second break day per week...Not to worry, Colleöne, I'm certain it's ...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 157 - Non-Standard Countermeasures
Author’s Note:Been a while since we had a pure 00P chapter, huh? But we’re finally wrapping up all those side character ‘emotions’ and ‘character growth’ shenanigans, now it’s time for 00P to stress out Colleöne some more!Don’t worry Colleöne, I’m sure nothing bad will result from 00P learning to ca...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 156 - The Spoils of Victory
Author’s Note:Should Taog have gotten the Hero feat from breaking one pseudo-corrupted core that’s been left for years and wasn’t creating monsters or Rifts or anything?Well, let’s just say Anualë might raise his eyebrow at that. But, well, Taog didhave to slay a dragon first, technically. A dragon which may o...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 155 - Terminate the Drake!
Author’s Note:Taog did a thing! All by himself! Mostly! Ateia contributed thoughts and prayers!She may or may not be a being whose deep connection to the world allows her thoughts to shape reality now, but that’s besides the point!I guess we also need to shout-out Colleöne for taking care of the toughest part: pre...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 154 - Boy vs. Dragon
Author’s Note:I’m back, and feeling much better than yesterday! Thanks for your patience, everyone, some lingering symptoms but I think I’m on the tail end of it. Hopefully.Oh hey, Taog is doing something! It, um, definitely isn’t supposed to be that easy to get the Magic Swordsman feat. Suspicious. Almost like...
Break Today
Sorry y'all, turns out I was feeling fatigued cause I got a bit of a cold (I hope) going on. Gonna do the smart thing and not push it, so no chapter today. So, you know, don't wait up for me. Sorry for the late notice!I should really do one of those 'backlog' things someday, huh?
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 153 - The Test
Author’s Note:FYI, feeling a bit abnormally fatigued the past two days. I *might* take another day off at some point. We’ll see though, Imma play it by ear, so I won’t call it just yet. I’ll let you know if I think it’s necessary.I should probably do one of those ‘backlog’ things at some point. But meh. S...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 152 - Becoming the Hunter
Author’s Note:Don’t worry, Taog, Colleöne is handling the hardest part of the quest for you!Preventing NSLICE-00P from completing it first!Anyways!Can Colleöne prevent NSLICE-00P from completing the quest? Will Ateia learn this new power? What will Taog find on his journey? Tune in next time, to find out!
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 151 - Gather Your Courage
Author’s Note:Because the Lady of Courage and Victory is completely fair, and would nevershow favoritism based on her personal opinion of a given person! And because Taog definitely hasn’t been left behind the author and is definitely not in desperate need of something to do!That would imply the author just threw i...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 150 - Designation Discussions
Author’s Note:The results are in! Seero is here to stay, for now! At least until 01R can find a name that can fully capture the true majesty of the Wise-Mighty-Gracious Boss-Queen! If such a thing is even possible.Hmmm…names that fit NSLICE-00P…I wonder if there’s anything out there we could call her that would...
TtOW! Poll: Designations
Hey all,We're nearing the point where a certain story development is about to come into play and I'd like to get your feedback on it before I make the call.We are at the point where Ateia should realize that 'NSLICE-00P' is a serial number. She will likely take offense to this and offer to give 00P a re...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 149 - Sensor Calibration
Author’s Note:We finally got to the NSLICE-00P tries something sweet phase! And it only took almost a hundred and fifty chapters!Please note that attempting to steal NSLICE-00P’s sweet roll will likely result in termination. If someone stole her sweet roll, all local authorities should exert maximum efforts to appr...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 148 - It's a Skill Issue
Author’s Note:…ok, this might be getting into spoiler territory for The Faceless Minion. But…it kind of has to happen. Ah well, journey not destination so you still don’t know all the circumstances behind the previous Commander!Besides, at this point I’d think it’s more accurate to say The Faceless Minion i...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 147 - New Journeys Begin
Author’s Note:Aesdes training arc go? Meanwhile Taog…is on cooking duty. Don’t worry, I’m absolutely sure that Taog’s won’t be relegated to irrelevance by power creep!Mostly because he was never powerful enough to be relevant even before the power creep started!Anyways!What will Estrith see in the Dobhar’...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 146 - The Return of the Queen
Author’s Notes:Obviously the Lady of Courage and Victory supports all acts of bravery and champions of the world, as the mature Aesdes she is! She definitely doesn’t get all upset when the Empire loses and makes Velus sad.But well, she doesdo her job with diligence. Unlike someone.Wait what? No, that someone isn’...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 145 - A Whole New World
Author’s Note:Time for rooms and a new world! Which means…I have to figure out the rooms system…and how an entire material plane integrates with NSLICE-00P and the general dungeon mechanics…and also figure out where 00P’s current dungeon status sits at because I definitely kept track of how many points she’...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 144 - The Lady of Courage and Victory
Author's Note:Whaaaaatttt? Favorites? The Aesdes have definitely neverplayed favorites before! There definitely wasn't an amazing scandal of favoritism that resulted in Anualë declaring a strict non-intervention policy and forcing all Aesdes to get approval before walking the world from that point forth.But ah...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Interlude 143.1 - The Master of the Court
Author’s Note:How do we stop Senators from making poor long-term decisions for short-term gain? A Consul ignoring long-term consequences to repay short-term gain!Also good luck Princess. Guess it’s not everyday your youthful crush ends with the potential collapse of society as you know it.But ah well, who cares abo...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 143 - A New Directive
Author’s Note:Good luck, Heralds of the New Dawn, you’re going to need it! Well, after Ateia and possibly other members of the gang regain consciousness, that is. But NSLICE-00P is still conscious and that’s what matters!Now to see if the Emperor can keep his empire from getting caught in the crossfire. Because o...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 142 - Wills Renewed
Author’s Note:Both Snuan and the Great-High King of all the land are going to be surprised at what they can live through.In other news, Ateia might be a teensie bit upset at a certain group. Good thing she hasn't grown significantly more efficient at termination, with friends who are even better at it!Anyways!Wil...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 141 - A Heart to Core Conversation
Author’s Note:…good job Ateia. Please give NSLICE-00P all the hugs.Anyways!Will Taog fight for his clan once more? What will be the result of NSLICE-00P disabling her emotional controls? Can Lilussees sleep now? Tune in next time, to find out!
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 140 - Self-Hostility Confirmed?!
Author’s Note:Yay 00P’s back! And just barely avoiding having her previous Commander immediately resolve the situation again! Previous Commander too OP, almost solving problems in two novels simultaneously!Well, to be fair, it’s already a compromise for narrative purposes that they didn’t just therapy 00P at th...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 139 - The End of Dreams
Author’s Note:As stated above, I’m adjusting my policy, at least for this arc. As Shaun McDonough said, these events concern the main cast and are directly relevant to the current plot and 00P’s current situation, I shall consider them as chapters despite the lack of 00P.Welp, that’s enough overthinking chapter...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 138 - I Will Help You Bear This Burden
Author’s Note:Hm, I debated whether to call this an interlude or not. On the one hand, it doesn’t feature 00P at all. On the other hand, it is very much a significant part of the current arc. Heck, the nature of the current arc is such that there probably be a lot of side-character focus as necessary, so we may get...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 137 - Reminiscence
Author’s Note:Oops, turns out this situation happens to be directly relevant to certain scenarios back in the Faceless Minion, so had to bring the connection in. We barely avoided NSLICE-00P’s previous Commander immediately resolving the situation! …which considering them, is not at all out of character, but migh...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 136 - Silent Errors
Author’s Notes:Ah yes, the everyone is brooding arc.…wait, why is there a brooding arc in my NSLICE-00P novel? That’s not supposed to happen. That’s the job of…a ‘friendly’…who…doesn’t exist here…um…Um…Oh, almost forgot to mention. Running a sale on the Faceless Minion Volume 1ebook in celebra...
(Removed for KU) TtOW! - Chapter 135 - Friendly Power Cycling
Author’s Note:…wait, you mean getting sacrificed in an evil cult ritual, having half your body disintegrate, and then getting reformed into a cyborg proto-god might have consequences that are not all good? But, um, that’s not in the Isekai script! I thought side characters just get easily granted unlimited power ...
