Casual Heroing, Chapter 179
I'm almost done with Volume 3 writing and I've been editing these parts to make sure they are tight and cool. Editor has been pulling great shit and helping a lot but we are going a bit slow since I need some more time to tighten up the plans for Volume 4. Trying to make it as tight as possible unlike the previous three. I think it's coming along well. I wrote the second to last chapter of the volume and the last of volume 3 should be done in a few days. Yeah, done with the update. M...

There’s no way in hell I can lift that thing and keep it...
Training Poll
Hello!Since we have some free days now, I plan to utilize them, among other things, to release a few polls about the ongoing story. I've taken the time to read all the comments, and my main aim is to offer the best reading experience possible. We've done this before with the bake-off arc, which resulted in the addition of three entire chapters. So, let's ensure that the current narrative meets everyone's expectations.First Question:Joey's Development and Training ArcWere you ...

But it bears no evidence that it could suddenly become able to shock my enemies to death or something.Soon, though, after not seeing the mean [Soldier] rise up, doubt takes o...

I avoided the Pratus because I didn’t want to get swarmed by the guy. I’m happy I didn’t meet anyone I know on the way here.I should be around thirty minutes early for the duel, give or take. One thing I had not imagined, however, was the dens...

So, I would love today to take a moment for a very unusual Patreon shout to my dear friend and author Hanne. It'd be great if you could check out her novel Horizon of War.

I'm Back!
I'm back, just much later in the day than I had originally anticipated. I know, I know. Author-san should have planned for it. Therefore, next chapter goes up tomorrow, not today.Anyway, it was nice seeing my parents and friends. It made me appreciate how important it is to go back to my hometown. I also had to eat like a pig, obviously. The best thing I sampled is a bao fish sandwich served as an entree at a fish restaurant. It was to die for!Maybe I should have Joey make more fish-based re...

She had to get Ethereal Cattle meat for this insane attempt at crafting magical food. The only reason she hadn't questioned Joey any further was the fact that the Human had repeated multiple times that he was going to die if she failed. There wasn’t much arguing with ...

POV Poll!
We are halfway through the bulk of the side-POVs of Book 3. They officially 'end' at Chapter 170, from which moment onward the ration goes back to roughly 1 side-POV every 8 chapters or so.I know some aren't fan of this choice and that's why I'm trying to soundboard your opinion here. I'll repeat the Poll at the last significant secondary POV at Chapter 169 to document any changing opinions.But without further ado:How much are you enjoying of the current frequent secondar...
