Cano_P: like
Cano_P: the devs put a lot of effort into it? feels like ppl don't really care
Cano_P: everyone is just super focused on builds and they miss out imo
Cano_P: the best story stuff is in the sidequests!!
Cano_P: you gotta pick the fun craft skills to get to those though

@relia-robot asked:

Of your work prior to Her Majesty the Prince, which one do you like the most? And is that different from the one that was most fun to work on?

oh gosh I don't think I can pick! but if I had to, hmm...

I think Substitute Familiar stands out a little bit above the rest (even though I love the Cat Wishes cast) because it has the most complex setting and relationships. I love worldbuilding! I love writing conversations where I can just let personalities bounce off each other! Subfami has that in spades. I really want to continue that story sometime soon, and finally write light novel #2 in that series.

that said, while its writing process was a bit troubled, I have a soft spot for Feline Therapy because I got to work with one of my favorite artists while making it, and we even got to make a short comic together. it's gonna be hard to top that <3

@SnepGem asked:

Would you say your light novels focus more on the transformation itself, describing the changes, etc, or are they more about the post-transformation stuff?

both!

would you believe Cat Wishes almost didn't have a transformation scene? I kind of added it at the last minute as I was writing it, and then it turned out to not only be one of the pivotal scenes in the book, but also set the stage for almost every book I've written since!

I really like describing transformation with words since it lets me be really creative with feelings, but honestly what happens afterwards is equally important to me. getting to transition changed me in immense, incredible ways; it gave every mundane experience new life, every aspect of my day to day a new sensory coat of paint. living got so much more vibrant and intense and personal afterwards that I want to keep writing about it for a long time, through the eyes of characters who take different (often magical) paths to that same destination

and though my latest work Her Majesty The Prince focuses almost exclusively on the post- part of the experience, I feel that all my previous books have led up to it.

thanks for reading! <3
