You can suggest "Status: Ongoing" as a tag - I did just now. Although weirdly the tag only appeared for me if I typed in "ongoing", not "status".

Well that's strange. I can never get it to show up when I suggest tags.

Why is the "ongoing" mark missing?!

It's up to the people with actual control over tags to include them. For some reason you can't actually suggest it as a tag. (Though you can suggest the removal of one that's already there for some reason??)

Confessing at the wrong time is a death centance in Otome games isn't it, not off to a good start, but this is hillarious, I'm totally with MC, Claire is best girl. Roomy and maid are cute too tho. Surprisingly I'm glad the otome harem guys showed up, as I thought it might be intersting how they would play a part in this impossible secret route.

When I saw the first page about managdex I went over there, but for some reason the pages there where pixilated, so I came back here.

Go into your reader settings and disable the data saver option. By default they compress images to save bandwidth for both themselves and mobile users.

"I hate humans. I thought that if it'd be a copy of myself, we'd get along."

Contradiction? Since the speaker is human, and therefore ought to hate herself, she wouldn't get along with a copy of herself.

It's not actually a contradiction. Usually statements such as that exclude the one speaking in contexts such as that one.

I was honestly expecting to never see another update from this series again honestly. This was a pretty pleasant surprise. Though it's been so long I kinda need to go back and reread it to have any idea wtf's going on, lol.

I haven't got one from you

Sorry about that. Yahoo said it had sent the email but apparently it actually hadn't. It should be there now.

Alright, sent you my main email through that one.

Do you want to exchange emails on Discord and then connect via email from there?

It'd be easier to just give you my secondary email (to avoid spam from roaming bots and whatnot) and give you my primary email address through that then edit it out of my post later. (That email is [redacted])

Wish there was a way to message you and stuff for feedback. I'm on the Dynasty discord server if you have that.

I have Discord but primarily use it just to keep in contact with some irl friends and a group of online friends from a now defunct community (which was actually why I ever installed it in the first place) so I don't tend to be too active there. Email would be a better and more reliable way to contact me outside Dynasty so I can give you my email if you want.

Better?

That definitely looks a lot better to me.

What's that from?

It's from this series. I want to say the second to last chapter in the listing, "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter".

What do you think of the UI example I've posted above?

Ah, the site's finally accessible again. The UI looks more or less fine to me. The only thing I would really say looks like it could use a change is the font for the headers. With a font that narrow it's a bit difficult to read when it's bold like that.

I'm currently working on building a combiner script with a different UI. I could probably use your help actually implementing a lot of your work. Both you and cyricc are more advanced coders than I.

I can try to help out some but the main reason I still haven't gotten around to the overhaul of the Thingifier I've talked about in the past is due to spending a lot less time at my computer due to health issues so how much I can help will be pretty limited.

gwennie-chan posted:

I'm curious if it wouldn't just be better to try to make a singular script add-on that incorporates all our current scripts.

I'd love to try, but the scripts you and cyrric have posted don't have any license information on them

If you want to try, feel free to try and combine any of mine. I didn't include a license since I didn't really think it'd end up being necessary but it should be covered by a general open source license.

gwennie-chan posted:

I think you should probably put a "last updated" date on the very every entry on the index. It'll probably help.

That's a good idea. I won't bother going and finding the last updated dates for everything already on the list but I'll definitely do that in the future. (And just did for the script you updated.)

gwennie-chan posted:

Hey Alice, I just pushed a new update to my (three year old) tagifier script on Github. It includes a new feature. Can you update the top level directory post you maintain to include it? Thanks!

Yup, I just did. Let me know if you want any changes from what I included.

Well, that was a pretty impressive way to catch up.

And yeah, the moment the gun came out, I knew this guy would be a villain as well. Japanese police normally don't just start shooting as if they're Americans.

American cops aren't actually that bad either. Unless the suspect isn't white I mean.

I was wondering why this chapter seemed so familiar. Turns out I proofread it and forgot about it until I read the credits page, lol.

fauce posted:

It's bizarre to me how many writers (and people in general) don't seem to view destroying or deleting a sapient intelligence as murder if it's digital.

This writer might, but it's clearly supposed to be like, lesser murder, since its definitely not written as if we're supposed to interpret the two who were okay with deleting her as murdering psychopaths?

We're accidental meat robots built by dumb luck and a lot of time. We should treat our fellow robots with respect, dang it.

Absolutely, I was so indignant when I was getting to that part, Anna deserves better

Consider that people tend to value an original painting more than its replicas...

I like this manga.

Replica paintings aren't intelligent nor alive though, lol.

This manga probably won't go there, but this is a good set-up for wholesome, consensual tentacle sex. Just saying.

That sounds like a good way to get some really uncomfortable splinters to me.

Haruki in chapter 3: "You should learn how to rely on "others" more." "You can count on me."

Sei in chapter 9: "It's okay to rely on "me" more." "I'm really happy that you could be mine."

dunno but from what I read Haruki (for a teen) gives her way more breathing room while Sei (the adult) just suffocates Aya whether she wants it or not

I don't recall which chapter it is but there's at least one from Haruki's point of view where I'm pretty sure she made it fairly clear in her internal dialogue that she doesn't like Aya being able to actually do anything for herself. I'm not going to claim her relationship with Sei is healthy but Haruki definitely doesn't seem like a healthy choice either.

I sincerely cannot recall where she claimed that! Could you find it for me please? To me Sei still makes sure that Aya dances on her palm and doesn't think for herself with her manipulation!

Aya said to her that she wants to take the easy way out instead of building up a relationship (Haruki even called her out on it, she is the closest thing she has to a family because her parents try their best to be non existant) which resulted in her rushing into a abusive toxic relationship with zero thought and being gradually broken by Sei over time. Also Aya claims that people drift apart from her but her conversation with Haruki (don't do this I don't want to drift apart) in chapter 8 heavily implies she kicks people out of her life herself. Don't ignore that Haruki is going through Puberty she could grow into a healthier choice over time perhaps... but Sei? Honestly No! They are unshipable for me from the start!

I'm having a bit of trouble finding it right now and don't have the time to continue. If you have some spare time, you might consider trying to reread things yourself and see if you can find it.

Y’all think she grows flowers down there?

Probably closer to grass. Though those tend to have their own little flowers too come think of it...

So what you're saying is that rather than shaving she has to mow the lawn?

am i the only one who wants aya to start dating her friend? i feel like now that haruki is aware of her feelings for aya she could be able to overcome her own hatred for her sexuality if aya would let haruki love her(which aya seems to be okay with?). i can see a haruki as a very caring and loving partner to aya, while also allowing aya to escape her toxic relationship with sei. but i guess nothing this happy would ever happen ;-;

Uh, wasn't it made rather clear that Haruki just wants Aya to rely on her and do nothing for herself? Cause that's not remotely healthy.

I made a new script to add links for MangaDex searches to pages.

This is basically what it does. And here's the code if anyone wants to use it:
