The Quintessential Quintuplets – Season 2, Episode 2 Thoughts

Leave a reply

Alright, let’s go for episode 2! You should know the drill by now:

  1. This is a stream of thought post (It’s not formatted well and it is basically me thinking while watching the episode.
  2. There’s spoilers (Who woulda thunk?)
  3. I do this for my own entertainment, and maybe a bit for yours.
  4. January Ad Revenue is terrible, as always.

So they are still doing terribly!

Itsuki, right? Oh no!! Uesagi is dead. No, he’s just sleeping. Too much studying haha. They started studying without him?

What the hell has he prepared. If I was given that I would cry. Don’t run away Itsuki! Oh yeah, I forgot Uesagi is a tsundere protagonist haha.

Who will we see next?

Oh yeah, I enjoy this opening song. La la la la la. La la la.

The Quintessential Quintuplets. Woo.

Miku and Nino in a fight, huh. But no TV due to study haha.

Ichika… Big sister type haha.

Oh my god that was adorable, Ichika. Anyway, some more studying.

Nino, you’re a fool haha.

Oh no Yotsuba, that plan is not going to work. Uesagi is bad with people! How did you forget that.

No, Miku, you’re wrong. He is super creepy.

Itsuki, Uesagi doesn’t have a soul. I think? 1/5th wits. Perfect insult.

I mean, that’s going to hurt him. Tutor for hire. Angry Nino. Uh oh.

Itsuki slapped Nino :O That was unexpected. The slap back was, though.

I don’t think this is picking a side.

OH MY GOD. HE HANDWROTE THEM. WTF IS WRONG WITH UESAGI!?!?! AND MAN, HIS HANDWRITING IS NEAT (I KNOW IT’S FICTIONAL BUT RAWR).

No Nino! Don’t Move Out! I mean sibling fights are normal. But seriously.

Uesagi there’s not much you can do.

Miku and Uesagi are kinda on a date like this, huh? Ahahaha! I forgot my keys strategy works again.

Angry Nino again. I wonder if she works out that Uesagi is Kintaro soon. She better.

Nah, Itsuki wouldn’t be at a luxury hotel. I’m betting Itsuki is there.. At his house.

Yeah, there we go. Predicted completely.

Akward Uesagi, Akward.

Ahaha, she’s staying over. And the sister made them sleep together. 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

And now Itsuki and Uesagi are on a date? I guess. Of course he lacks class. He’s Uesagi.

Nino has to apologise before she goes home.

Wait OMG. The father is a stepdad?! Now that I didn’t expect.

“I’ll accept It’s just part of my job as a tutor”

Interesting.

Uh oh, stick snapped. You… You are walking to school together…

No, Itsuki just wants to stay with you Uesagi. >.>

Oh no Yotsuba. >.< You better not fail.

Ah, Nino, there is something bothering you but what is it. :O

Oh no Uesagi is considering suicide. 😦 😦 😦

Uesagi is sad. 😦 I don’t want to see him sad.

Wait… It wasn’t. What. What just happened. Was he hallucinating? What the hell. I don’t get it. I’m so confused. Was the girl he knew not any of the quintuplets? Or did one of them remember who he was and pretend….

I want answers, god damn it! Answers!

Anyway, there’s the stream of thoughts for the day.
I’ll be back next week for more wtf is going on in my head.

Cheers,
Rumanshi.

The Quintessential Quintuplets – Season 2, Episode 1 thoughts

Leave a reply

Note: The style here is stream of thought. So it won’t look or read very well, probably. Maybe I will do a more proper review later. Also, Spoilers! Duh!

Hi guys!
Hope you are all doing well. It’s 2AM and I’m not sleeping before work so I thought I may discuss the anime I’m watching.

Alright, first off – We open to protagonist talking with a sister.

Oh, hello other girls. Good to see you. He had a Flu? Why would you think it was going to kill him? I guess it’s understandable.

Ichika! That’s mean… Good to know she didn’t quit school (yet)? Oh, so that’s why you’re staying… Probably not the best reason but whatever.

Miku, that’s adorable. Oh, and Ichika joins in. Ahahaha! Oh, they left. I mean people giving you affection tends to make you feel better.

Vaccinations. Hmmm, interesting topic. DON’T SHOUT IN THE HOSPITAL.

Wait, was the doctor the father?!?!

I see, a memory. I wonder… Hallucination! Itsuki is here.

Why… Why do you study?

Angry face Itsuki is amusing. Sanada-kun is what the protagonist is like now… Interesting. I guess he felt guilty or something?

Is that their mother? No, just a plot point to introduce the young quint…

The hair colour got me, I think.

Itsuki wants to change?

So is Itsuki the young one that he met?

I see he finally realised something ahaha. No, man, no way is it a coincidence.

ITSUKI MIKU ITSUKI YOTSUBA ICHIKA

WRONG PEOPLE BUDDDDDD

That’s hilarious process.

And a lucky pervert event…

Yeah so I assumed it was Yotsuba too.

CALL ME A PERVERT (Holy shit!)

God dammit. -_-

There is definitely no sixth sister 0_0

Obviously had to be Ichika. Aha he worked it out.

And Busted! Wait so it was Ichika in the past? Ahaha, review time.

Oof, he made a mistake about Miku..

He’ll work it out, eventually. Probably. I have faith in this baka protagonist.

Alright, many apologies for the stream of thought, but this has been fun!
Cheers, Rumanshi!

Woopsie~~

I apologise! I got so distracted in my head that I haven’t written anything new yet. Not to worry! I still intend on writing The Harem was a Forced Goal and I Have Unlimited Wives Slots. Will I do them at the same time? Maybe, maybe not. All I know is that I will be working on them. But I need to organise my personal space before I can do so, I think. I also got my job back, so I’ve been spending time doing that.

So:
– Clean up my workspace so I feel comfortable doing my writing.
– Write two? Chapters a week of The Harem was a Forced Goal.
– Profit.

And NaNoWriMo is almost upon us, so I will have no choice but to do it. 50k words minimum in a month. Let’s go, my friends!

Cheers,
Rumanshi.

An Unfortunate Update

5 Replies

Greetings to you all! I hope you have all been having a fairly decent life, even given the circumstances regarding the pandemic. Some of you are probably doing better than others and I am hopeful that you all are coping well.

Yet, this post is not really to do with the pandemic. No, this post is about me and my life.

A few years back, I got into a relationship. It wasn’t planned or expected. It just happened. I think it cut back on my writing and why I never really spent more time on ‘The Harem was a Forced Goal’, or any of my other projects. I spent all my time and effort on her. I still tried, of course, but my writing was an escape, I think.

But, that has ended. I no longer am in a relationship. I have begun to write a book about that story, and I hope I can actually manage to get it published. But, that’s not what this is about.

The update is this:

– Starting from the 28th September, 2020, The Harem was a Forced Goal is officially off hiatus. That is correct. From that date on, there will be new chapters for my original novel which the last chapter was posted in 2018.

I hope that alongside this, and completing my book, I will change the circumstances which I find myself in.

Thank you for your time and sorry that it’s taken this long to get back into it!

Cheers,
Rumanshi.

So, what should we do from here on out, huh?

Hi there,
Back in 2015 I began this blog as a place to share my original web novel. Throughout the years, the content which gets posted has changed, people who have been around have differed and we just generally get screwed over by my lack of consistency.

I’m currently working part time, a full time university student and attempting to write my other original novel (I Have Unlimited Wive Slots) and release that on a consistent once a week basis. But, “The Harem was a Forced Goal” has been on indefinite hiatus in this time. And it hasn’t been finished. So, what do I do about that?

Other World’s Monster Breeder has been done by someone else, so I don’t really care about that anymore. It was too much effort, too much time out of my week. Writing also takes time, but it is more enjoyable for me.

I want to keep the blog full of content, with a minimum of one post a week, even if it’s not a novel, perhaps just my ramblings. If I did that, and you’d be happy for that to happen, it’d be great if you could comment and talk.

But, beyond that, what do you think I should do? Let’s talk about it.

Cheers,
Rumanshi.

One thousand.

One, a reason to betray.
Two, a reason to belay.
Three, a reason to delay.
Four, a reason to just pray.

Five, a person walking slow.
Six, a person with skin aglow.
Seven, rocking to and fro.
Eight, a demon from down below.

Nine, a struggle to go on.
Ten, I can think of none.
Eleven, I’ve given up.
One thousand, Yeah, that’s enough.

Staying motivated for anything is hard. Whether it be writing, learning or simply enjoying a game, the ability to focus on one thing and one thing alone is difficult. When did this become the norm? Why is it I can’t spend more than a few days trying to fix the problems I have?

I need money, I need food. I need time. I need to take care of myself. There are things I need to do yet don’t do them. It is as though I torture myself accidentally? If I were good, I’d post daily. Yet, I can’t seem to bring myself to write every day. I can’t bring myself to change.

The poem above is a representation of the desire to do something, then skipping over lazily until the end. We can’t do that in real life. If we want to get to the result, we have to take the journey. If we don’t take the journey, we’ll never end up at the end. We’ll always stay at the beginning.

It’s time for this to stop. I must take the journey, or else I’ll never reach the end.

Cheers,
Rumanshi.

Semi Retired Adventurer lives leisurely – Chapter 1 (2/11)

First Chapter – City of Flowers and Water
セミリタイアした冒険者はのんびり暮らしたい

“With this, it’s over.”

I thrust my spear into the body of a monster who flew into a rage over its dead comrades.  

A large body taller than three metre falls shakingly to the ground.  

I glance around.   There are around ten odd bear-type monster’s dead bodies lying around. 

I don’t think any of them would be smart enough to pretend to be dead, but I’ll observe for a few seconds to make sure.  As for the first one I killed, vaporization has already begun.  

*Phew*.   I shake the spear once to rid it of blood and gore, then transmit my will to the spear.

Obeying, the spears handle and blade become short.  Before long, it becomes the size of a general knife and I put it in the scabbard on my waist.  

“Finished-!” 

Then, I called out to the people who had taken refuge in the nearby copse. 

The figure of a good old man hidden in the shadow of the tree came out fearfully.  

“Oh, Ah.  No way, a group of wild bears so easily…”

“Well, even though I look like this, I’ve come from the front line.  Please wait while I collect the claws.”

“Ah, I will help”

The dead wild bears are beginning to disappear into a thick fog.  

A magical monsters body dissolves and vanishes into the air when they die.   

However, the part where strong magical power dwells remains as a material.  It depends on the type of monster, but in the case of wild bears it is usually claws.  

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a rare drop so I collect and stuff the nails into the bag.  

“Now then, it’s time to go.  

「はい」

“Yes.” 

Please wait while I work on translating the rest of the chapter. But I’m a lazy shit. If someone else wants or is doing it, I will succumb and not do it. Yay.

The Problem of ‘So Many Things’

3 Replies

Hi guys,

So recently I’ve been thinking (A dangerous past time, I know), but I’ve come to a conclusion that I lack a vital skill for education and work. That is, the skill of self-discipline. I am privileged to own many things, have access to internet (even if it is Australia’s ADSL2…), but it is possible that having access to these things is one of the problems causing me to lack the ability to control myself to an extent.

That is, due to having so many things to do, I don’t need to do a certain thing to entertain my brain. I can simply go, ‘huh, I’m no longer interested in this. Why don’t I do that instead. And therein lies the problem. With the ability to avoid something, without the skill of self-discipline, you will avoid it. There’s a mechanism working in the brain that does this, I am fairly sure but this isn’t an essay that requires references (though I may write something along those lines in the future).

So I am going to have to think long and hard about how to train myself to have this skill. I hope you appreciate this post.

Cheers,
Rumanshi.

Update: I’m Alive, Again.

Hello everyone!

It’s been a while, no?  Yeah, sorry about my disappearance.   It wasn’t on purpose, I swear…  (It totally was, my laziness bites again).  So, why am I back?

IT’S TIME TO BEAT THE BEAST (The beast being my mindset).   I’ve been reading a lot of stuff, listening to a lot of audio-books and just plain old trying to improve.  Am looking at doing some online courses and developing some skills as well.  However, that isn’t too important right now.

ABOUT THE SCHEDULE 
This is a guideline for me to follow, for me to provide content to you!    If I miss something, it’s unfortunate, but I’ll attempt to make it up.  I’m studying on how to force through laziness and writers block and just a lack of creativity.   So, hopefully these lapses will stop happening and my editor will be happy with me (Shout to Planes, who keeps me sane).

THE SCHEDULE 

Monday  - Blog Post
Tuesday - IHUWS + Blog Post
Wednesday - League of Legends  +TV Episode Review 
Thursday - IHUWS + Blog Post 
Friday  - IHUWS   + Blog Post
Saturday - IHUWS + Random Game + Movie Review
Sunday  - League of Legends + Blog Post

As usual, this schedule could change for any number of things.  They include, but are not limited to:

  • I am lazy
  • I have university
  • I have work
  • I have jury duty
  • I haven’t got enough stocked
  • HOW DO I WRITE?
  • Where is all the good men gone?
  • I am sick
  • I am very sick
  • I am at the doctors
  • I am at hospital
  • I am dead
  • I am dead and have come back as a zombie
  • I have been turned into a vampire
  • I am frozen in time
  • YOU are frozen in time.

Well, I think that’s all of the reasons I can think of.  Or, I could think of more, but why would I?  It’s much more fun to make you think about the reasons I haven’t posted.

 

Any questions?    Ask away.

 

Cheers,
Rumanshi.
