We're back. Sorry for the wait.
There is a lot to unpack, so I decided it was best to focus on why there's more space dedicated to manga compared to Western comics in bookstores like B&N as opposed to sales simply bc that's a separate & more involved discussion. 🧵

No ISBNs in Canada for AI writing.
This is a fantastic policy, and every country should do the same.

I've seen everyone answer Gaoshun (10) on this so far, and they are correct.

I can’t stress enough that this would mean the complete extinction of human culture. You need art because it connects you to all who’ve gone before you; it challenges you to embrace perspectives not your own. Media generated to your exact preferences is the death of the soul.
It was a treat to work on this volume. Who doesn't love Xiaolan?! You get to see our girl in a new way! I'm particularly intrigued by a certain new character... Can't wait to work on more volumes to see what happens with them.

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

Found a new video about Dragon Quest: The Mark of Erdrick that details our first chapter. When I was editing volume 7 last week, I legitimately teared up at [redacted]. I've never had that reaction before. I promise you this series is worth checking out.
