Preface?

Time sure flies. Especially when it’s everyday fun (one way or another).

Eroge Playthrough

Didn’t progress much. Finished Aoba and I think I’m about halfway through Miya. Still on slow pace :(

Playing Dereste isn’t helping either. I’m stopping again after the current event which is ending next Friday.

…which then will be followed by reinstalling Windows on main desktop (and eroge release day). Oh well.

One last thing on Moteyaba, apparently the premise of whatevermajigy thing (Kokkai no Gi) is actually the main driver of the stories including for Aoba and Miya (and possibly the rest). That should help me concentrate a bit more.

Wasting Money

I thought it’s going to be a light week. And then Anmi put up her C91 (and more) tapestries on Booth.

I also finally pre-ordered Denkigai official goods. Four tapestries this time. At least this one was planned.

Later I realized I forgot about vol.3 of Otome Domain radio CD. Well, it wasn’t too bad.

Thinking I’m done with the stuff, I went ahead and placed orders for some H-anime I’ve been kind of wanted but not actually included in any budget for some reason.

So that’s all good. And then Cuffs went ahead by announcing the terrible event, kind of forcing me buying the MintCube game. So there goes unexpected 10k.

Lastly I got Pan’s CT29 tapestry which is a bit expensive (about +60% original price). Though considering the event was in Osaka I figured it’s kind of okay. Barely.

At least I managed to sell konomi tapestry for 7k which is over twice the price I bought it for. That said, transaction for one of other stuff fell through. Whoops.

Will put a bit more stuff as well later this week… though I don’t think they’ll sell anytime soon.

I cleaned up my doujins collection and almost ready to sell them to Suruga-Ya. Just need to sort out other stuff a bit as well before actually shipping it and probably ending up with meager amount of money.

Overall I’m at green-ish at the moment. Barring unexpected stuff, I should be full green next month.

Misc

Doujinshi sure lost its value really badly. Most of Digital Lover stuff is currently at 0 yen at Suruga-Ya. Not only that, selling them through YJA is also painful and even I myself wouldn’t do it unless there isn’t any alternative. Only really a few select books can retain its value after a while.

In that regard, tapestry and hug pillow cover do retain the value quite long. Especially tapestries – as long it’s not heavily damaged (which is not quite easy to do), it can practically retain its full value based on current rarity.

Hug pillow cover on the other hand is pretty annoying to keep its value. The only case it can keep its original value is when it’s the rarer stuff. Otherwise I think it’s safe to say it lost half of its value just by virtue of being in opened state. Not only that, keeping it in good condition is pretty difficult as well – it’s relatively easy to damage.

Preface

Almost given up writing this post (and do it much later today) since it’s already 7 and I have only barely slept for few hours thanks to my random sleep time during the weekend.

But then I figured might as well go as far as I can until I really want to sleep. Like, now (after finishing writing this post).

Eroge Playthrough

Didn’t progress much again last week. I think I’m at almost end of Aoba route which is much slower than I expected. Hopefully I can pick up the pace again this week.

The pace is so slow though which makes reading through the story a bit of chore (and induced a lot of sleeps). Kind of expected but apparently I still can’t handle it well.

Wasting Money

Got quite a lot of earning from YJA. I’ve got enough that I’m green even without including less liquid assets.

That said, looking at my current pillow covers, I think I’ll drop even more. I don’t know how far I can go but current target is 40 including from games I haven’t played. Not sure if possible but again, practically speaking, at current amount it’ll take almost four years to finish one complete rotation. That just isn’t right.

On the other hand, rotating tapestries is much faster since a lot can be put up at once. Over 500 is still a bit too much though.

Nothing much else coming… I think.

A bit late because I was lazier than usual.

So, due to reasons I couldn’t play eroges this weekend (until next Tuesday). Or more accurately playing through scenes with any explicit ero content.

As mentioned last week, I started this week by playing Otome Domain. Then I went far enough and reached Kazari route. Then weekend comes, preventing me from continuing further. Not that I’m right before any H scenes but the whole games pretty much is ero content minefield with random heroines getting naked at random timing. Kind of. Not that I hate it, it just prevented me from playing it for this weekend.

So I decided to steer off a bit and started Soreyori no Prologue. Everything went smoothly until I hit a random ero scene relatively quickly. Whoops. That left me with no plan until Tuesday.

That said, I think I can clear off at least one route next weekend. Or at best three? I doubt it but it’s probably possible. Well, at worst it’ll take me another two weeks.

Finishing that I’ll probably continue Yorino as well. Listening to Tenmon soundtracks sure is a good treat.

The plan afterwards is Gakkou no Seiiki. Only one month and few days left for this year but I hope I can actually finish all current plan.

And then! Finance! Holy shit what did I do this week. I ended up buying even more game for this month and end up paying quite a lot of extra to gather all the relevant store bonuses. And even more extra due to me trying to save up a bit. I should’ve learned this few months ago but apparently I forgot about it.

I also need to remember to not bid until last hour to see if there’s any better deal coming in between. Ended up paying few hundreds extra for that lesson.

Melonbooks decided to smart up and started selling B1 tapestries! RIP wallet (even further).

Oh and I somehow managed to snatch up all my initial plan for K-Books 2016 Winter tapestries. Not sure if it’s a good or bad thing. I guess it’s not bad because at worst I can sell unwanted ones at slight loss?

Talking about selling, only managed to sell two things this week. No one is buying the duplicated game ;_; Might’ve gotten better luck if I bought the standard version but apparently I thought the bundle pack is better deal! Or something. Clearly it’s not that good. At least there are quite a few people watching on the item at the moment. We’ll see how it turns out next week.

So overall I’m now at a ~bit~ of yellow. I need at least 40k extra to survive cleanly next month (until pay day). At least I still have some more stuff I can sell. Or a lot. I need to start selling all the random badges and perhaps paper bags…? I don’t even use them. Both are annoying to sell through YJA and paper bags are annoying to send. Might as well sell through Suruga-Ya or something.

And lastly the plan! Currently two hug pillow covers! Floflo Riku and Senren Murasame! And if my guess is correct, Sakusaku Tina as well! Last one is going to be difficult to obtain at the event. I do have magic paper for that at least. And at worst they probably will sell it through online store later. They better be.

On tapestry, there’s the last one for Haruoto Tech Gian series. I should also be getting the Sankaku Renai Core Magazine. Lastly there’s another one from Pikatto Anime, illustrated by Yukie. That one will be for Denkigai.

On games, nothing much changed. As mentioned earlier, I bought another title for this month which is Sankaku Renai. And then minori announced release date for Trinoline. Slated for March, it makes the fourth game for that month. Except it’s somehow 31st instead of 24th like the rest.

That’s all for now.

5 am. I originally planned to rush up Rin’s route first but it went longer last week for Makoto and I figured it’ll turn out the same for Rin as well. Better clear this thing first before my brain becomes half-functional and writes even worse than usual. My usual writing is already pretty bad and being half-awake isn’t helping.

I managed to be more distracted than last week and getting a bit of cold wasn’t helping. Nor is early planning of Comiket.

Talking about Comiket planning, I missed one big required spending for this month and as a result will have to walk a tightrope until next pay day which is in three weeks. I figured it’s also good time to drop a lot of circles from list so I can spend less time figuring out where to put them ┐(ツ)┌

With careful planning I should be able to go up from almost-red to barely-green by end of this month! Exciting times ahead.

I forgot about this :D Doesn’t help there’s almost no interesting news for me this week.

Finished Kurafuta’s Yae route. Currently at the last (best) main heroine route, Ema. One week slower than I hoped because I keep distracted while playing it. I think another week should be sufficient to finish the rest.

Once done, I’ll move on to… something. I mentioned it’d be Sakura no Uta last time and probably will stay that way. Starting one of the game with just two hug pillow covers is also an alternative but I’m trying to stay with current plan. Realistically looking that means I’m doomed (?) to play another Cuffs and Makura afterwards though. At that point it’s likely I’ll play something else instead. Current list:

• Primal x Hearts (2)
• Koisuru Kanojo no Bukiyou na Butai (2)
• D. S. ~Dal Segno~ (2)
• Natsu Iro Kokoro Log (2)
• Sakura no Mori Dreamers (2)
• Himawari no Kyoukai to Nagai Natsuyasumi (3)
• Imouto no Okage de Motesugite Yabai (3)
• Sakura no uta (3 / next one)

Picking a completely new series (brand-wise) leave with only two choices: Dal Segno and Primal x Hearts (and Primal x Hearts 2?). The rest are repeat brand-wise (Cuffs, Amuse Craft, Moonstone, Makura).

June is over and it’s now July. July means Floflo and Senren Banka. Also means Amatsutsumi which is still undecided. I’ll look at my progress until end of this month and whether there’s anything interesting from that series in next Denkigai tapestries series. Both happens at the end of this month so I have plenty of time to think. It does help that the pre-order ticket I have was obtained for free from Tora no Ana since their pre-order doesn’t have any down payment. It’s a different story if one of them gets delayed, though…

At this point I wonder if I reached limit of my reading speed ;_; It barely improved. At all.
