100 Waifus Read and Edited for a 13th Time:

Is there anyone who has ever read the same book thirteen times in the same year?  Well I have, because 'In Another World with 100 Waifus' is the best book ever written.  As such it's quite easy to keep reading and re-reading however many times I please.

This time as well, the love scenes were still touching, the sex scenes were still exciting, the politics were still convincing and the jokes were still funny.  It never gets old.

However, this wasn't all fun and games.  I was re-reading the book mainly to make sure there were no further edits necessary, since every time previously I thought I was finished editing it turned out there were still more mistakes.  This time as well I found a whole cart load of stupid errors in need of fixing.  Spelling, capitalization, phrasing, punctuation, if there was any possible way to make a mistake it was there, and this even after 12 previous rounds of editing.  In addition I kept editing the names of the children and which mothers would be having them for maximum quality and common sense.  For instance, now one of Lyria's daughters is Io.

More 'justs' were cut from the book, but it's still the most common word in the book.  Every little bit helps is all.  Some sentences were cut entirely as no longer applicable whereas others were newly added; overall I think the word count decreased.

This round of editing may have actually been more intense than many of the previous ones.  With a book this large, it just goes to show that a full year of proofreading is necessary to work out all the kinks.  There are no shortcuts to greatness.  Nevertheless, none of the edits had to do with the plot, which remains the same as when this all started in February.

Now more than ever would be a great time to dive in and see what the fuss is all about.  It can't get more polished than this!

Inevitably I'll read through this book a 14th time, to make sure no further edits are necessary.  I'll continue this process until I can read through the entire book without feeling the need to make any additional changes.  But for now I put down my pen.
