#AwesomeCharacters How does your character handle their mistakes?

#Airisu is a crow, and she doesn't make mistakes. Just ask her, and she will tell you.

I generally avoid bashing things online. But this is inexcusably bad. @kodansha.us

The new #Kodansha site is awful. Unusable. Garbage. An abomination.

* Libraries take eons to load. 10+ minutes
* Screen space taken up with a broken dialog box.
* No notification of the change.

No testing
?Vibe coded?

The people who greenlit the release of this abomination should be fired

#Airisu from "Airisu: The Crow and the Witch."

An illustration of a woman offering a cigarette to another woman is centered in a page of text.

#ScribesAndMakers 16. How do you feel about illustrations in (non-comic) books?

I write light novels, which by definition have illustrations. They are my biggest out-of-pocket expense.

Snip per the peaches in Chartreuse jelly.

I ended up ordering the roast duckling and peaches in Chartreuse jelly. The first was excellent, while the grassy flavor of the second didn’t agree with me.
