There's no realistic way the witch can gather 1,000 tears of pure joy in the remaining time she has to live. Putting a character in a hopeless situation with no meaningful decisions isn't a good story. Stories are about decisions, when you have none there's no story. Even worse would be doing some ass pull that saves her even though it's obvious nothing can. That would just be a betrayal of the author to the reader who first said one thing but then said another. I also find it intolerable for an esteemed lady to go around stepping on strangers' faces without a hint of guilt or shame or remorse and get away with it without any reprisal. What kind of law code, or code of manners, is this?
That reduces the spring season to 9 shows. I told you it wasn't worth previewing.
Meanwhile, I edited '100 Waifus' to include Noa as Cute's child, because she's too perfect a fit to ignore. I replaced Setsuna to make room. Setsuna also had wings, but Noa is a literal angel, a direct match with Cute, even sharing the same hair and eye color. There's no comparison.
Setsuna was relegated to the Wonderful Fictional Characters list, which is also a fine place to live.
While I was at it I also continued waging 'World War Just,' cutting a bunch of the filthy words in Louise's scene in Chapter 11. It was awful, there was a 'just' practically every sentence. But I cut it down to once every few paragraphs or so, so the section is now readable without cringing in pain. The need to include Noa justified World War Just, and World War Just justified including Noa, so it all worked out.
Hopefully no other section of '100 Waifus' has that density of 'justs' left, so the book can be considered finished again, but we'll see.
When I upgraded 'Unknown World' from Dragon Quest to 3-star status, it became the natural theme song of Luminary, the poster boy of DQXI. That meant I had to kick out the 'Richer' theme song from Valkyria Chronicles Azure Revolution to make room. But I found it a new home in Sawa from Tari Tari, the fashionable and determined horse rider girl. She deserves recognition and so does the Richer song, so everyone wins. I also corrected Caro's name to Carol, apparently the correct name of the Growth Cheat heroine.
Since I already have a teenage mutant ninja turtle, it would make sense to have a transmogrified Frog as well, so I added Kaeru to my Wonderful Fictional Characters. I gave Kaeru Kaeru's Theme from Chrono Trigger, so Ko had to be given a new theme, which was Tutorial from Final Fantasy Tactics.
Someday, once everything is correct, the edits will end. . .
