Update Diary: Hell/Dolls (April 16th, 2025)

Good evening!

I’m getting very excited as the day of release comes ever closer, so let’s take a gander at the stats of the story so far:

Current Chapter: 10 (Truths and Lies)

Pages: 115

Current Word Count: *54,554

Uh, something I may have forgotten to correct for was the non-story words for the word count (the title page I had set up and the Table of Contents for ease of editing), so I was posting about 50 words over what the actual story was at.  I will try to remember this for future posts, but for now, please accept my sincere apology for the minor numbers issue.

Based on what I said in my first few diaries, it looks like I’ll be releasing the prelude and first chapter sometime in June or July (fingers crossed, knock on wood, all that good stuff).

I do hope that those that have followed this story from its first announcement enjoy the story just as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Nothing much else I want to say on this, so please hold onto hope until my next post.

Thanks-

M. Isif

Today, another update on the webnovel to-be!  I’ve been working very hard on progressing the novel in my free time, though it may mean that my reviews are starting to become harder to complete…

In any case, here’s the current stats on the story:

Current Chapter: 9

Pages: 102

Total Word Count: 47,222

I’ve also started using some apps to help me find problems with my story: specifically “tome” and “AutoCrit”.

I’ve been using tome sparingly, but it helps me clarify my goals for the story, character motivations, and basic flow.  To be honest, I’ve mainly been writing this stuff down and addressing inconsistencies with it.

AutoCrit, on the other hand, I’ve started using at the start of this year.  I upload the document, analyze it in various parts, and the program tells me what my plot points are for each chapter, inconsistencies, plot threads that remain unexplored, and character points that have been and need to be addressed.  There are things that AutoCrit gets wrong, and items that it doesn’t quite understand correctly, but overall it helps me identify problems with the story as I write (though when I upload incomplete chapters, it is annoying when it points out that threads I’m working on are not resolved).

Regarding the story itself, chapters 8 and 9 shift the focus from the main character, Vincent, to a couple of the supporting characters.  I might edit how these chapters flow by the time I release chapters 0 and 1, since it’s a little jarring as of now.  We’ll see.

I am PAINFULLY aware that I am late on this post, so apologies in advance.  I still have at least two reviews to complete for content this month, so stay tuned for those.

Anime Review: Special Review

WHAT? THIS IS NOT ANIME!

Yes, this review is a little different.  Today, I want to spread a series that some of you know or may have already watched.

Hazbin Hotel.

I’m aware that this show is definitely not for everyone, but I feel like it’s a show that should be discussed for one reason or another.  It has some very specific messages, and some that are not as clear, but overall the show is an interesting experience.

I’ll be using the anime scoring system that I normally use, even though this isn’t anime – because it’s an animated series with musical numbers, a specific art style, and dynamic characters, I think it fits enough criteria that I use to fit this model.

Spoilers ahead.

Apologies. I know I haven’t been very active lately, but there’s been a lot of crap piling up in my life – most of which, I’ve managed to clear out. In case you aren’t in my connectwork, here’s what’s been going on:

-Dropped out of college completely. There’s very little chance I’ll go back at this point, but I do appear on campus every now and then.

-Got a job at Walgreens – currently working around 30 hours per week and getting 10.25 per hour. I am the Photo Specialist.

-Now I am on Riddlin as well as Lexipro, and also taking D3 tablets every day. Also visit a therapist once a month.

-Moved out of my mother’s house, due to my stepfather, stress, and other things. I moved in with two of my friends, and it’s been going fairly well.

-Gained and (kind of) lost a girlfriend. Enjoyed her presence while it lasted, still miss her.

-Apparently Donald Trump is running for president. So, yeah, that’s a thing.

Anyway, enough about me. I’ll try to post more reviews and other stuff as often as I can, because apparently keeping a schedule is too hard for me. But hopefully, there will be a solid one soon.

Stay beautiful.
