"Survive! Gwanggong! /
Survive! Obsessive Gong!"


[NovelUpdates Page]

[Chapter 11-15 Post]

Chapter 16: I hate the system so much, literally having your free will stripped away like that and going against your own morals...like daaamn.

Gwak Seon-woo wasn’t particularly passionate about food, but as a Korean, he still believed that a solid meal was the foundation of everything. This was a country where people greeted each other with “Have you eaten?” instead of a simple hello, and parted ways with “Let’s grab a meal sometime.” And yet, here he was, treating someone offering him food like absolute trash. No, it was worse than just poor treatment—this was outright rejecting kindness in the most insulting way possible.

Lmao Seung-hyeon is learning how to deal with Seon-woo!!

I hope Seon-woo's half-asleep apology doesn't get him into trouble with the System. Ahh I wanted to see Seung-hyeon's reaction.

Chapter 17: Whew, his points are okay. Was Eun-jae maybe messaging Seung-hyeon?

Chapter 18: The first option sounded too intimate, I would've chosen “Maybe you just feel unfamiliar to me. But that doesn’t mean… it’s necessarily a bad thing.”

Eun-jae is showing a different side today, it's kind of interesting. πŸ€”

Chapter 19: Interesting exchange between Seung-hyeon and Eun-jae. It didn't feel like Seung-hyeon was being possessive over Eun-jae, and Eun-jae was irritated. Then Seung-hyeon said Seon-woo should just come with them.

Chapter 20: A moment ago, Eun-jae had been locked in a silent battle with Seung-hyeon. Now, it seemed the two had reached an agreement.

Hahah Seon-woo is being double-teamed now, I like it. Now it's almost like they're in a tug of war lmao.

Aw, the workers loosened up around Seon-woo.

Ooo what does Seung-hyeon wants to say to Seon-woo??

Chapter 21: Seung-hyeon's clearly not going to give up on finding out what's wrong, why can't the System just let him lie and say it's the embezzlement case he's working on?

Chapter 22: Eun-jae and Seung-hyeon looking at Seon-woo while singing that Nagging song. =P

Chapter 23: If the system had a physical form, he would’ve already socked it in the face at least once.

Seriously, WTF!!

I want to see stuff happen with the embezzlement case soon.

Chapter 24: Hmm so Su-won is slimy despite what he seems?

Chapter 25: I love Seung-hyeon cutting Seon-woo off on a line he didn't want to say anyway lol. The OG Gwanggong was straight up brutal, no wonder Seung-hyeon noticed a different geeze. I'm surprised the system didn't detract a bunch of points throughout this convo. So what is Seung-hyeon's hypothesis on what's wrong with Seon-woo? Does he think he's sick, or that something personal happened to change him? And what does the passcode meaaan?

Episode 2: Yeon Si-eun proved that the bully drugged him but by the look on said bully's face, it's not over yet...

Daamn he stopped the bully's lackeys with a pen click!

Welp, that drug dealer is getting involved more.

"Maybe we were married in our past lives." An Su-ho πŸ˜‚

Yeon Si-eun apologized to An Su-ho. He refused an apology from Beom-seok. The latter goes to An Hu-so for help when Yeon Si-eun is taken away by the bad guys.

An Su-ho is a frickin' badass. And Beom-seok coming in clutch!!

Aww the three eating together, please let them in Yeon Si-eun!!

Edit: I have GOT to be more careful when picking shows!!! I kinda spoiled myself and I do NOT like where these guys end up in the end. I thought I'd read the webtoon instead but seems like it's ending isn't great either. *sigh*

[Redeem Codes]

You can choose to play as a girl or a boy. I picked boy. You start in Purgatorio Island where Filthoids have recently attacked the village. Everyone has escaped on boats except MC, who's official name is Vita, and their childhood friend Berenica because the latter went back to find Vita. Now they have to figure out how to leave the island without a boat. In the past, people fled to the island and have kept hidden from the outside world.

The basic graphics are similar to Wuthering Waves. The controls are more like WuWa as well thought not as precise/controlled. I do like how you can jump again while in the air if you realize you're not gonna hit your mark and you can also shoot through the air. So far no flying or swimming. You can duck and slide. There's no fall damage! Combat is extremely easy so far. There are chests throughout so it encourages exploring. There was one 'hidden' chest you had to duck in to get. You have to pick up the items yourself (except in commissions), there's a 'collect all' option but it's only for nearby items and items tend to be spread out, so it can be easy to miss things if you don't walk around (it's hard to see things on sight). Breaking boxes gets you potions and ammo mostly. There's various other items to pick up in the world like stuff to sell or make things with. I got to level 5 just exploring and taking down all the enemies scattered around town. You can pick up a gun when you're heading to the docks and choose between a rapid fire or slower fire rate gun.

There's a Goddess based religion. Why are there so many bird carvings, holy moly. Maybe real birds don't come there so they made some? But you can pick up bird eggs...

You mean to tell me Vita didn't explore every inch of the island with Berry growing up and never saw the Goddess statue before?

According to Berry, they used to live in what's now ruins beyond the Goddess statue, but Vita doesn't remember that. There's a story there you can find that I think is about Vita, Berry and another kid Vita was trying to afford a cake for?

So these people have been looking for Berry, who they call 'No. 0', for a long time, and Vita is her Resonator. Vita letting go of her hand in that crucial moment made things worse - if only she'd fallen with him or she tricked the bad guys ('I'll jump too if you don't pull him up'). Now presumably she got taken by them anyway and thinks Vita is dead.

Sawashiro Miyuki is the seiyuu for Camilla! Another blonde char!

Interesting there's an 'Impressions' system where your choices effect how people around you react to you. The first choice you have comes down to 'be friendly with Camilla and Snow' or 'shun them' so it's pretty clear-cut... It seems when talking to people there's an Impressions check which you can fail, though you can roll again with special dice.

They called Vita a 'Charon' right? They have horns and distinctive spines.

I like how you can stop and read info entries mid-convo.

Cool, there are costume pieces like animals ears or tail! Ohh, that's what the summoning system is for. You get characters by buying their secret letters and running commissions for a chance to get their...shards? It takes 30 to summon a character. This goes for some weapons and demon wedges too.

I'm so glad dodging isn't a necessity so far, you can do it but it's not made a big deal of. 

So the sword which is really a key that Vita has now was left behind by 'someone who knew them well'.

Can we not choose to run around as Vita? 😒 Oh, you have to go in and 'Deploy' him.

I just realized Snow's name is a pun with Tsuno (horn). And what's this about voices guiding her to Vita?

bluapapilio: kaito and conan from one of the detective conan openings (dcmk kaico)
[personal profile] bluapapilio

Episode 1 rewatch: I forgot this 12 episode anime existed, I had previously watched 1 episode of it. I decided to watch this first before 1412.

Lmao all the agents climbing desperately up the stairs to squeeze through the one square (and how it became a running joke).

Both Yuu Yuu Hakusho and Kaito KID started with the protag checking the childhood friend's panty color;;

Aoko was in the perfect position to jab Kaito in the nuts with that broom.

Poor Jii really thought Touichi was alive there for a few minutes. :'<

I love how the diamond ended up with Ginzou through the fish.

Episode 2: The OP is by Garnet Crow, I like them, I believe they've done multiple DCMK songs.

Kaito's mom didn't tell him anything because she wanted to protect him but here he is putting himself in danger to find out the truth because Jii won't tell him under her orders;;

Kaito wasn't really peeping in the girl's locker was he?? 😭

Was that a Native American statue they were laughing their heads off at??

All Kaito had to do was have Jii act as Kaito KID, but Ginzou clearly saw his face so that wouldn't totally fix his suspicions, though if he had the same disguise skills he could have done that part too.

Jii's lucky he wasn't stopped by police for speeding before the car broke down.

Don't theme parks have cameras? And Kaito was still wearing his KID suit... How did he get back into normal clothes?? I know he's a magician but that was a bit too fast.

I don't get why Kaito thinks Aoko can't be girly or sweet. Is he always going to pick at her every time she shows that side?

The ending by B'z is good too!

Used my fic TBR boardgame.

This is probably the challenge I'm most worried about, because fic reading is always based on whimsy and mood for me and I don't know if I'll have wrap-up posts or not, I may just rec them in my 'links of interest' posts. As well, AO3 doesn't have a way to filter by 'on my marked for later' so it's gonna be touch and go, because the whole point is to read stuff already on MFL, not add more.

Can go forward or back a tile depending on roll

Roll #1:

Whoa, starting off with a 12! Prompt: less than 1k hits. Ruby Insides, I just added this recently.

Roll #2:

I spoke too soon, got a 5 which is the trap tile. Went back, rolled a 6 which is the TBR tile, ooo. The way I'm going is generating from page # first then by # of the fic on that page. Man seeing the 'this work was deleted' message is painful. 235x9. That's a Homestuck fic titled Red, oh boy. It actually seems a little familiar. Sometimes I keep things I've read on my MFL to read them again more thoroughly.

Roll #3:

A 9, prompt: F/F! You & Me & Holiday Wine .

Roll #4:

A 3 and another TBR tile. 106x14 which is Darkness Peering!

Roll #5:

A 9, prompt: pretend lovers! I just ended up with more on my TBR looking in the tag. 😭Okay I went back to MFL and actually found something pretty fast: behind the mirage.

Roll #6:

Another 9 and the end! Hmm how about New Game Plus.

All different fandoms! So far so good.

I snagged this from [personal profile] maevedarcy. :)

Go to your Works page on AO3, look at the tags, and see what the answers to these questions are. (Or any other site that has tags, I don’t know if FFnet or Wattpad does)

I'm [archiveofourown.org profile] svgurl410 on AO3 and most of my fics are on there so I'll go with that. :D

1. What rating do you write most fics under?
General Audiences (157 out of 277)

2. What are your top 3 fandoms?
1. Smallville (176 out of 277 works on AO3)
2. Marvel Cinematic Universe (58 out of 277)
3. Gilmore Girls (23 out of 277)

3. What is your top character you write about?
Clark Kent (138 works)

4. What are the 3 top pairings?
1. Clark Kent/Oliver Queen (81 out of 277 works)
2. Clark Kent/Lois Lane (45 out of 277 works)
3. James "Bucky" Barnes/Sam Wilson (18 out of 277 works)

5. What are the top 3 additional tags?
1. Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (111)
2. Established Relationship (81)
3. Getting Together (57)

6. Did any of this surprise you? e.g. what turned out to be your top tag.
Most of it was what I expected - the ratings, the top ships, since I was very mono fandom for a long time, etc. I was surprised I've written more established relationship than getting together, since I thought I wrote more the latter, but I think that some of my older fics haven't been tagged properly so if I went back and updated, that might change. Then again, I also used to write a lot of flashbacks in my fics so technically the fic would have them established but I would want to write how they got together in the first place so I'd throw it in.

The code if you want to do it:
