Pt 1, Art dump from the past two years!! Omniscient Readers Viewpoint! Love this novel so much
my orv review. + bonus funny
5 min tutorial for trcelyne, hope it helps!
figuring out how to draw him lol
it IS super funny that orv starts out like "hoo hee i'm just a normal self-inserty power fantasy protagonist! my name is literally 'reader!' just an office worker turned action hero you can project onto slash look up to 🥰" and then very quickly shows that 1. no the fuck he isn't and 2. the story is a detailed interrogation of the nature of self-insert escapist power fantasy. and then the endgame twist that hits you like an emotional freight train is that orv is, in fact, actually very much a self-insert story about how you 🫵 are deeply loved and your survival matters so much that this book was written just to help you find reasons to live. idiot.
TWSA gets a live action adaptation. nobody knows what the original source is, and a few chapters dissuades most people from reading further, but the thing is... the casting is phenomenal. top list actors all the way through. how did the producer even get all of them on this bumfuck novel's adaptation in the first place? who knows. but any concerns about quality due to the subpar source are squashed the moment the first trailer comes out.
it's action-packed, the actors look incredible, and most importantly, it looks fun. it's clear the plot has been heavily tweaked to fit a live-action format, and hey! they even gave the mc a gun (since swords just aren't as cool, obviously). everyone's happy!
except one very pissed off canon purist.
Madk is good because of the cannibalism sex eroguro (incredibly hot)
But also… I love the worldbuilding a lot! As much as I was enjoying the aforementioned sex stuff, which is hilarious to me
Truly reading it for the “plot” and the plot
hyperfixation sucks I think just a little too hard about a guy who isn't even real and I could start crying any second
Okay I’ve just thought of an SCP au. Like, SCP-9158 a.k.a KDJ (class: keter) with Dr. YJH being in charge of him all the time.
SCP-9158 was first found in an abandoned building near the outskirt of [REDACTED] by a group of teenagers. Subject is an Asian male, physically approximately 28 years old and 176 cm in height. A pair of wings can be observed from behind the subject’s back, with horns in the forehead. Nevertheless, this might not be his true form since SCP-9158 is reported to have the ability to shapeshift. Subject is capable of speaking and he does speak a lot, but his statements barely make sense.
After captivity, Dr. HSY tried to interrogate him about his origins, but the subject refused to cooperate by claiming that he had no fucking clues. Despite appearing friendly, the subject demonstrated deceitful behaviors, by [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. He has also attempted to breach containment multiple times and has succeeded at least twice. When being recaptured, SCP-9158 claimed that he would stop escaping if his request was granted, which includes:
1) A mobile with Internet connection so that he could read webnovel.
2) A meeting with Dr. [REDACTED].
Since the subject’s intention was unclear, his first request was turned down. About his second one, when being proposed to Dr. [REDACTED], it was accepted with the condition that the meeting must be conducted under camera surveillance. The subject agreed.
Upon seeing SCP-9158, Dr. [REDACTED] seemed surprised while the subject was delighted. It was later revealed by Dr. [REDACTED] that SCP-9158 closely resembled one of his works back then when he was working as a sculptor. However, the origin of SCP-9158 remained unconfirmed.
Since then, Dr. [REDACTED] has required special permission to visit SCP-9158. He has a daily reading/gaming session with the subject, during which the subject’s behaviors are thoroughly analyzed and reported. So far, the subject has not portrayed any abnormal behaviors and seems to be tamed. As a result, the subject’s class has been changed to Euclid.
I feel like I could rewrite this in a better way, but this was the initial outline lol.

Never tired romancing Astarion :D
