  1. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    I think the solution is not to give Shirogane a true rival by her terms, but explore the consequences of her NOT having a rival - not even being capable of recognizing someone as a true rival with her outlook. There will be uma who see themselves forming a rivalry with her, only for unease to...

  2. A Devil In the Dungeon [Youjo Senki/Danmachi]

    So what’s Tanya going to do when Apollo decides to keep her even after she pays off the debt? That’s when things are going to get hot, methinks. One thing Tanya might do if it becomes clear that the Apollo familia intends to take her regardlesss, is simply stay in the dungeon. Sure, it’s crazy...

  3. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Something that could compound tensions between Shiro and her peers is how she'd react to one of them getting close to the verge of dropping out. I imagine most umas would be sad about something like that, and would encourage their friend to not give up, to give it their all in one last ditch...

    You recently mentioned how you've seen one fanfic that committed fully to viewing existing stories from the perspective of a different society, without being a react fic. Do you think you could share more details about that fic, like the name, please? I love stories that explore literary culture...

  5. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Shiro's prioritization of family over racing makes me wonder, what are typical uma family relationships like? Now that I look back, I think Shiro is the only one who really talks about her family in conversation. From what I understand, umas tend to have an uma parent, so I'm guessing that uma...

  6. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Something interesting about Shiro's races is that even if she doesn't win, she's likely going to make an impact on the results. Between her intimidating persona causing early crashes and her unrelenting pace making competitors push to their limits, she has a tendency to indirectly mess up...

    Sure, I can PM you a link to what I've changed to the main jump, thought it's mostly just a few small things (adding more companion options, another drawback, another item, a few tweaks here and there). What's left is is me taking the time for a deep dive into everything again for anything to...

    I keep procrastinating, really sorry.

  9. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Yeah, the communication tensions are going to be interesting. Especially since it highlights how Shiro undervalues her races - both due to undervaluing herself, and because she sees it more as necessary work than something she's really proud of. Sure, she's proud of her achievements, but I get...

  10. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Ah, the bittersweet irony; if only she knew what Shiro's dream job would be. Actually, this gives me an idea for an omake. Suppose that for a school assignment, the trainees need to interview a retired racer and present a report. Most of the time, students focus on famous racers from the prior...

    Well, it will combine the regular jump, the bonus scenarios document, and probably also the White Inma challenge. So that's 159+161+67...yeah, I really have a lot to do...

    Technically, it’s very close to release, since I’ve decided to avoid adding anything more, so it’s just editing one last time and combining everything together. Unfortunately, editing will be a daunting, long task for a perfectionist like myself, so I keep procrastinating. And then I sometimes...

  13. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Nice to see Shiro and Gold interacting face-to-face; I'm curious to see Gold's ongoing questions about her mysterious junior. Glad to see someone's at least getting close to Shiro's true motivations. Good, they're noticing how she can improve, and they can bring it to her attention. There's...

  14. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    I'm wondering, do racing umas tend to empathize with their race names? I get the feeling they do, especially since they tend to match the names from their past lives. If so, Shiro's disconnect from her racing name might be another source of dissonance between her and other umas. Like momentary...

  15. On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Now I'm a bit worried (and curious) about what might happen if some of the more mischievous uma try to get back at Shiro by spooking her in turn. Shiro's keen senses would likely nip any such surprises in the bud, but if they did ever manage to scare her, they could get caught in the crossfire...
