I... wait.. what?? Do not put alcohol directly on your colon, its dangerous.

Yeah, people get hospitalized or killed by it occasionally.

Walked by the news informing the populous that researchers in france have discovered that, get this:

Getting hand sanitizer in your eyes is bad and you shouldn't do that.

...

Apparently there's been an increase in injuries related to just that, and, like. People apparently need a PSA.

Remember kids, alcohol in your eyeballs hurts! Hand sanitizer is not sweet burning boozecandy ooze for your lookyballs. Keep that stuff out yo' eyes.

Meanwhile I am getting rich selling crutches made from human leg bone

... I'm surprised someone hasn't made a prosthetic from the bones of their lost limb. That I know of.

I'd be surprised if some of the earlier attempts weren't basically that, tbh. Maybe not explicitly fron the person's lost limb (losing them tends to screw with structural integrity, from what I understand ), but yoinking one from a cadaver or something seems right up the alley of old bone doctors.

Eh, he comes back, for what it's worth. I think most of what I've read has been on earth or significantly interacting with it, though the latest bits are gearing up to haul off again. 'Course, Earth's actively less interesting (for MC McOPmutt, anyway) at this point, so it's not even a bad thing, exactly. Spear world is something of a pit stop (twice, ha), yeah.

... thaaaat said, though, if you have something against tournament arcs it is strongly the wrong piece of fiction for you, ahaha. There's been at least, uh. Five? Six? Maybe seven? More? A lot of the bloody things at this point. 2-3 on spear place, like another four or five on earth, maybe another on other-major-planething-that's-not-warplace? Author likes them their tournaments.

E: Though the whole apocalypse thing is handled at least somewhat interestingly (if slowly. Very slowly. Major event one past the actual initialization and whatnot still hasn't happened by chapter 1.4k ), overall. Definitely in a way I haven't seen very often so far as the MC's relationship to everything going on, so there's points there for originality.

E2: Any case, I guess I'll see how long I can keep remembering to post something when I finish one. Next up is The Runesmith, clocking in at a respectable 200-ish thousand words. It's also litrpg (this is going to be a theme, by the by), isekai stuff where some dude gets schlepped into a preteen's body with mage stats and zero class compatibility, and goes crafter with bonus skills from being a tech repair guy or somethin' like that. Fairly slow burn (200k words in and MC still hasn't actually broke through to the starting line for the class they're aiming for), though plenty of the downtime stuff is basically just timeskipped away, which is nice. Decent crafting crunch, okay amounts of merchanty bits and conflict, not much in the way of romance divergence yet, all in all pretty decent. Pointedly, it's about a 14th the size of ghosthound and took a day to read through instead of a month :V

Anyway, what's there so far is pretty readable and it's overall not bad as isekai litrpg goes! Which, I mean. Isn't saying much, considering how isekai litrpg goes? But, y'know. S'alright. Gave me something to read for an afternoon and a bit.

It definitely did, yeah. I spent more time than I probably should have killing him for his loot before leaving the starting keep, iirc.

You can buy it from one sect or another, iirc (though I think there's also one or two that'll trade soul pearls if you get on their good side, which is several times better at cooling stuff). There's an easy few hundred in one or two of the northern areas, too, off the top of my head.

trading has been iffy, ive got no idea what to make for good money, so far I've been buying goldwood and turning it into bows for some slow profit. Also wondering if anyone has spiritstones for sale/trade aside form the merchant who randomly shows up.

If you want stupid money early on just make giant cotton farms and turn them into cloth, mostly. Cloth trades 1:1 with spiritstone and easily comes in amounts that get silly, heh.

Yeah, the "editor" thing is probably some kind of translation or autocorrupt issue on Sirian's part, if I had to guess. When I look at the steam page it says Gamera Games is the publisher, not editor.

E: Almost certainly translation; Sir's profile says france, and french for "publisher" (and editor, it looks like) is apparently Éditeur. So yeah, translation thing going on. GG's the publisher, heh.

They may not be able to accept someone's USB drive like that, for what it's worth. That's, uh. Not wise for most organizations, really? But probably can print the thing off if they don't already have some sitting around somewhere.
