I’d like again to point out that a good amount of referrals to this story come from Top Web Fiction. As such, I would appreciate any extra votes in my direction. It is a quick click once a week and helps a lot.
On to the trivia section!
• Eva, during her treatment this book, somewhat lost control of her hands. They squeezed down and would have crushed her knees had her knees not been Arachne brand prosthetic.
•• In case you don’t know how spiders work, they don’t have muscles like you or… you. Human muscles push and pull. A spider only has the pulling muscles. Their heart pumps blood out to their legs, pushing them out in the same way hydraulic machinery works. Which is why spider legs curl into a little ball when a spider dies. Eva suffered a similar issue during that scene.
••• Note: The above is completely simplified. However, this trivia entry is long enough without going and copy-pasting wikipedia articles.
• In the chapter where Eva approached her to join her treatment, Catherine was playing Overwatch. She plays pistol only devil skin Mercy. Seeing Genjis die in front of her while spamming “I need healing” gives her a sick sort of pleasure.
•• Sometimes she switches to Mei.
Reading recommendation:
Again, different from normal. However, this reading recommendation is not quite as depressing as the previous one.
Early December, I came across a web comic. I found it thanks to a certain female monster themed subreddit and have fallen absolutely in love with it.
I really shouldn’t have to say anything more. No synopsis or anything. If you’re reading Void Domain all the way to book eight, you’ll probably enjoy it.
But I guess I will anyway.
Allison gets a key shoved into her forehead that lets her travel through the multiverse. There she meets stone angels, mask wearing demons, and gods. Adventures ensue.
(I am the best at summaries)
I’ll be perfectly honest. The art style actually turned me way off when I first started. But it grew on me. There is so much detail thrown in to every page. So many little things to look at. I have no idea how much time goes into each page, but its a lot.
The first few chapters are fairly world-buildy and info-dumpy. I doubt I remember half of what was said. However, it seems like the kind of thing where I’ll reread it in five years and be like “ooohhhh, that’s what that meant.”
When I first found it early in December, I thought that it updated maybe once a month. However, it updated the very next day. Then the next week. And the week after. Aside from Christmas week, it has updated every Friday. I don’t know if this is a special time of year or if I was sorely mistaken on its update schedule, but I do hope people find it interesting.
Since that was kind of a weird recommendation, I’ll recommend something else as well.
Another web comic!
A story about a young girl named Aria and her friend/pet Gug. It is more slice of lifey than KSBD, featuring them going about their everyday life.
But if you aren’t hooked from the first page, I’ve no words. The art style alone should grab you. It updates every Monday.
