Author of "No Need For A Core?" on Royal Road (www.royalroad.com/fiction/5751...) and Scribble Hub (www.scribblehub.com/series/10633...).

2 of the attached pictures are reviews.

More images will be posted in replies.
Picture of a large door glowing with magic, and three characters in front of it. From left to right: Moriko, a dark haired half-elf woman in a gold and blue dress. Kazue, a red-headed kitsune woman in a green dress, holding a purple-and-gold crystal sphere that floats above her hands. Mordecai, a dark haired man in a blue military uniform with a red cloak. A five-circle Venn Diagram: Circle 1: "Dungeon Core" Circle 2: "Progression Fantasy" Overlap 1-2: "More Power Needed" Circle 3: "Kingdom Building" Overlap 2-3: "Must Grow Bigger Circle 4: "Cozy Fantasy" Overlap 3-4: "Feasting, Shopping, Books" Circle 5: "Romance" Overlap 4-5: "Found Family" Overlap 5-1: "Two Cores and an Elf" Review by FaydenRydell: This story is very well written, probably one of the better written stories I’ve come across lately on RR. From the onset you feel like you are in good hands. The tone and style is consistent throughout and the story accomplishes what it sets out to do in this sort of dungeon core style. I feel like the author could get even more exposure if they were less literary and more pulpy. Often the style reminds me of Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith with the ornamental writing that is able to describe every crevice of a dungeon with artistic prose. There is also something here that is retro futuristic that is hard to describe. The prose somewhat takes you of time and space similar to Lovecraft. I particularly enjoyed the dungeon creation moments. The paragraphs flowed very well and the author seems to have a masterful grasp of sentence structures and the rhythm of words. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in literary stories that focus on the dynamics of a dungeon. However I can see how the story is very literary and might be harder to get into for a more casual audience. I’m eagerly looking forward to whatever else the author might work on next. Review by Dumenoct: This is one of the more enjoyable stories I am following at the moment and there are quite a lot. The Author has put a lot of work and heart into this beautiful piece of fiction! The Mc is a very deep and well-defined entity and that comes across in the writing. There are minimal grammatical or punctuation errors which makes the reading a lot more enjoyable. The various characters each have varied and storied backgrounds and the author's method of bringing those backgrounds to light is very organic and exciting. The World is also very well described even though the MC is bound to one location. The whole world feels very "Lived In" and that is a great experience for the reader. I am not a big proponent of cultivator novels but it's so fluidly handled in this work it just feels natural. the cultivation comes across as just another aspect of daily life instead of being the focus of the work which is very nice! The style of this story is also rather unique! I really like the addition of the kitsune gods in the pantheon. Then there was the decision to have rudimentary flintlocks introduced by the dwarves and the MC has to interact with them for the first time. very nice! The story doesn't create its own genre but it is a very nice addition to the dungeon genre. I hope this author is able to keep the series going for many years or conversely gets a publishing deal from here! Sincerely Impressed, Dumenoct

The art of folding a winning hand
Jim Acosta @ @Acosta • 28m Democrats had tons of energy coming out of last week's elections. Tonight's deal with GOP will outrage progressives and divide the party once again. For what? The possibility there will be a vote on Obamacare subsidies down the road? Which Trump will likely hold hostage? Huh?

I know many new writers worry about how readers will receive their work. That’s a valid concern! That said, two things:

1. This gig is only worth it if you write what YOU want.

2. Some will hate your stuff, but some will like it. Your readers. They’re awesome. Write for them.

Earthquake Prediction Flowchart

xkcd.com/3165/
Comic. Someone is claiming to predict the exact date of a future earthquake. Should you listen? [flowchart: start] → NO (There are big earthquakes constantly, so if anyone ever *does* figure this out, it will be immediately obvious that their method works and then the world’s seismologists will not shut up about it. You won’t need this flowchart.)

I've only got three pages left to do for this latest scene in TQ so I think it's safe to expect a site update by the end of the month. As always, $3 patrons see it first and already have access to the first 10 pages!

It used to be that my online drawing streams were... disorganized. I've changed things up and been working towards more organized drawing sessions where i actually get things *done*. Much better quality broadcast overall, hopefully a better watch (today's stream): www.twitch.tv/videos/26142...

So, the new stairs and the mirror from the serpent outfit work well together. I need to do some real experiments, this was just a hasty snap shot.

how does she manage to be so cute even with the world like this
Heater, a perfect little orange cat, lays on my black cape which is draped on a teal couch. She is sitting in a very silly position with her back left leg (which has a white sock and perfect little pink beans) is tucked underneath her left arm. Her right paw is just kinda dangling. She’s got BIG eyes and a face made of love. She smells like laundry and dreams.

Snip for November 8th, "Little", is in the attached image (and alt text).

Current readers, this is a minor spoiler for CH 351; I literally just wrote this scene tonight.

An illustrated caticorn holding a pencil and writing in a book with a rose behind one ear is in the lower right corner "Thank you, Tiny Storm." You'd have thought that a true lightning bolt had struck Satsuki, given the way that she froze and seemed practically rooted to the spot. "Is something wrong, my little rain cloud?" Mordecai said with a smirk. "You— your memories of us, you've unlocked them?" she whispered. "In part, and in time, in full. There are a lot of memories in here to unlock still, but there's no reason to not allow myself to remember more now." With the way Satsuki kissed Mordecai, Moriko was pretty certain that she was fighting with herself to not simply take Mordecai right there and then. It was still a rather entertaining show, and Moriko took some mental notes while also thinking that Satsuki was going to need to eventually let the man breathe again.

I love the little free pantry library things, but please remember that canned foods are hard for a lot of people for a lot of reasons, and if you are going to stock cans, stick to ones with pop tabs.

Please remember the varied needs of the real people experiencing food insecurity.
