    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    I imagine that would be kind of unpopular... Right up until Team Rigil did their overseas races and either Shirogane is part of it, or the girls just do better because they are acquainted with the 'suicide horse' or 'rabbit' tactics that are more common in Europe than Japan. Rigil is kind of...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Welp, guess we know what Shirogane is gonna do in terms of racing plans for her Classic season. Why run for the Tiara or Crown when you can run for both? I kinda wonder if she could pull off a mixed triple crown, it would not be easy given her speed but she has definitely got stamina, sets the...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Yeah, but Smart Falcon would be in rough shape if she went from the the Champions Cup in Early December to the Tokyo Daishoten later that same month. And even the prize for 2nd place isn't bad. Of course, if Agnes Digital is also racing...

    Having both Turf and Dirt at B means Shirogane's best off using Frontrunning if she can grind up her Speed since she won't have too great a 'final kick' anyway. Her talent for Long distances is obviously pretty good so the longer the course the better. That Mile aptitude is unfortunate though...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    ...It would be kind of boring if she had super wits, super stamina, and super speed. I doubt she is ever going to be crazy fast. That said, the author's quote about a hypothetical video game Shirogane equivalent being buffed with an awful mood makes me think her lacking speed is partially a...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    Well, most opera is either a romance or tragedy or both which doesn't exactly suit victory songs after a race terribly well. I've done some digging and the best option I see is from the opera 'Hrabina', about the love triangle between a vain widowed Countess, the nobleman who loves her, and...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    I'm sure Tachyon will have some interest in Shirogane, but unlike Air Shakur she is a lot more of a dreamer and doesn't usually reach for the most practical solution in her goals - so it would probably be more to see if there is a secret to her legs that can be applied to an entirely different...

    A Devil In the Dungeon [Youjo Senki/Danmachi]

    The problem with all the 'nicer' gods you described is that even with them it is exceedingly rare for them to make any effort to help people outside their familia - even gods like Loki who are in a pretty good position to make changes to the city. I think the closest I can come up with is Miach...

    A Devil In the Dungeon [Youjo Senki/Danmachi]

    ...Um, no. Danmachi is not light-handed on how the majority of the gods are absolute scumbags and the better ones tend more to 'tolerable' than 'good'. Even the nicer ones are not willing to do anything to reign in the worst, who predictably tend to be strong. In most ways the setting pretty...

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    ...If Shirogane is really just gonna keep running race after race with no breaks and no sign of fatigue like a total freak - the robot allegations are probably gonna be half serious for some umas.

    On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

    ...Honestly Shirogane and Silent Suzuka do have a very Rice Shower/Mihono Bourbon vibe, only if Rice Shower had reasonable luck and enjoyed herself and Mihono Bourbon was more worldly. Which is a strange Rice Shower, but they do share a love of nature and sort of quiet demeanor. Mihono Bourbon...

    Cherry Blossoms and Chakra Strings

    LOL. Clearly, the solution to team 7's internal politics was for Sakura to beat up Naruto more and give Sasuke a good kick or two every so often while she's at it. It's realistic, I'll give it that.

    Wish upon the Stars (Original Superhero cultivation sci fi litrpg)

    which, after solidification from Mornax, BECAME a perfect duplicate Thanks for the chapter! Shane and Zeke's relationship remains one of the most inspiring parental relationships I've read lately. Half the love I have for this series is how realistic yet wholesome the relationships in it are...

    Wish upon the Stars (Original Superhero cultivation sci fi litrpg)

    Yep. Maybe Tim was hiding but shows up because he wants to help out Elijah's kid. Or Tim was avoiding Elijah and the people who run in his circles or work for him, but a younger kid finds him easily because that wasn't who Tim was worried about hiding from.

    Next chapter: The crown wasn't so bad really... Looking forward to Chelsea leveling up a bit.
