Lingering Questions answered:

Why did I add in a page or so of extra material to chapter 52 of '100 Waifus'?  I felt there were some lingering doubts readers could have raised that weren't plot holes because I understood what was going on, but might have been inscrutable with the material available.

What are souls?  What is free will?  How do genes and free will fit together?  If the world isn't predetermined, how do powers of foresight work?  Isn't God to blame for this, that, or the other?  All these questions are pinned down and definitively resolved in the new chapter 52.  I actually wrote out the answers to these questions over a year ago, but I wasn't sure how to incorporate them into the main body of the text, or even if they needed to be incorporated.  But I felt these questions loomed too large if left unanswered so worked things over such that the old and new content smoothly interweaved, and this is the result.

This was the perfect chapter to include new material because Kagome was asking Cute questions anyway and the chapter was too short originally.  The alternative would have been to write an all-new chapter 58 but then I would need a new ending when chapter 57's ending is already so nice.  Unless I'm suddenly inspired with a boatload of new ideas there isn't enough of a justification to continue past chapter 57's timeline.

These weren't new ideas, they were old ideas that hadn't been used yet.  I'm still lacking in any inspiration that could extend the story.  I'm sure there's something useful I could add, but I don't know what.  The story already gives a scene to all 100 waifus and develops both a city and a person across the span of hundreds of years.  If there's something still lacking in your life after hundreds of years you're probably not using your time wisely, so it's no wonder the book has nothing left to document concerning a guy's over 100-year lifespan.

As hinted earlier, after my Fairy Tail blu-ray rewatch comes my Bleach blu-ray rewatch.  But while I'm at it I also decided to rewatch the new One Pace version of One Piece and Dragon Ball in its new form of 'Recut, Kai, Super.'  These make up my #4, #5, and #6 top anime series and they're all quite long so they should take care of my free time until a new visual novel or something comes out.

Break Blade might finally be off its hiatus.  Rewrite+ might finally be coming out relatively soon.  Tomorrow sees the new release of Hataraku Maou-sama! volume 20.  It's going to be a slow Fall, but there's always something good to look forward to.
