Wahoo!~ They approved my request for an update and Animal Crossing 2019!

Hello again, it is I, your long lost imouto-chan who has been worried sick about you, ever since you moved away from your loving family. How are you doing? Are your studies progressing? Are you properly resting and eating well? I’m worried and miss you…

......Pffftttt!!!

Muahahaha, you thought it was surprise caring imouto-chan, but it was I, lazy light novelist extraordinaire, SHINTARO MOFUJIN! Fufufu! Ah, but please do take care to not overexert yourself and eat properly! I have returned from an in-depth conversation with a Kirby-of-the-Color-Green-san about the recent trend of weight loss isekai stories in the light novel medium and have some exciting updates to talk about!

First of all, I’m pleased to announce that Part 2 of my newest paranormal rom com short story series My Apartment Is Haunted by the Ghost of My Dead Childhood Best Friend Who Likes Me! is officially OUT! This one focuses on how Haru and Aiga first met, in addition to some more fluffy slice of life scenes and answers to questions that might’ve been lingering on your mind. “Why was writer Shintaro Mofujin pretending to be my imaginary imouto?” That, I cannot say for sure.

In addition, I watched Nintendo’s latest direct and was absolutely elated when they ended the presentation with the announcement of a totally new Animal Crossing game, slated for 2019 on the Switch! Still… that was quite the way to reveal it, right? An Isabelle Super Smash reveal followed by a look into Tom Nook’s depressing personal life in that dark, barely lit room? Hmm… Anyhow, my mom and I have been fans of the series since the original gamecube version came out! (Of course, the real original was the N64 one, but that one never came over to the west, so for all purposes here, it’s gamecube!) It really is a nostalgic series for me, the real-time clock, the lovable characters with fun dialogue and the real need to collect every item imaginable! Perhaps the most hardcore game that appears to be casual on the surface… Ahhh, it’s probably one of my favorite video game franchises ever, I’m very happy that there will be more to come! Also, TGS 2018 is coming soon, which means that the Ace Attorney news is on its way! 7 is the magical number!~

Animal Crossing 2019!

With that out of the way, if anyone was wondering why I put off writing this blog entry with the whole ‘waiting for an email' excuse, it’s because of this announcement! Now this newbie of a novelist assumed that ebooks on Amazon were similar to apps in that once an update is pushed, that update would go to EVERYONE. Unfortunately, that is not the case when it comes to the distribution of VIRTUAL paper and ink! Basically, if you purchased an ebook on say, launch day, that is the version that you will keep, even if the one on the store has been modified. Ah, but it makes sense if you think about it when it comes to readers having personal highlights, notes and bookmarks on their copy and changes would mess those up, so there you have it! On the flip side, authors can request to make these changes available to readers as long as they do a proper write-up of modifications that were made! Well, I’m happy to say that not only did I submit a request for my debut novel, but it was approved earlier this morning!

That’s right! Since I was already in the process of outlining the 2nd volume, I went back and reread the entire 1st volume and have made improvements and minor fixes that will certainly improve the overall reading experience! Obviously, no changes to plot or characters, (that’s just…you can’t do that, c-can you…?) but some enhancements like a properly functioning table of contents page for easier navigation, obnoxious typo fixes, inclusion of the volume number and more! Now all readers that already own the 1st installment of my Debut Fluffy Weird yet heartwarming Gender Bender Romantic Comedy Light Novel series My Best Friend is Dense Harem Main Character-kun, But Why am I the Heroine?! can receive this Quality Update starting TODAY! Unfortunately, this is classified as a “minor update” in their terms, so you guys will only be notified of its existence via this blog, but hey, that’s why you’re here, yes? In case you’re unfamiliar with how to receive this free, no fuss, no coconuts update, I can provide you with an explanation! On your Amazon page, under the ‘Let Us Help You’ heading on the bottom of your page, click Manage Your Content and Devices and go over to my book which should now say ‘Update Available!’ Click it and tada, you now have a table of contents page and a slightly higher word count!

Speaking of Best Friend and Main Character-kun, the 2nd volume outline is going swimmingly well and I have all sorts of fun and heartwarming events planned! Look forward to it in a few months, I apologize for the wait, but life really does get busy and I will absolutely make it worth waiting for! The goal of course is to completely defeat the me from the past who didn’t even know how to implement a table of contents page… The fool has no chance of competing with this new and improved Mofujin! Muahahaha!!!

…Anyway, I am very happy that I could make this quality update available for all of you wonderful readers that have supported me from the beginning! Thank you so much for everything, you make this whole writing thing worth it and make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Also, thanks to Amazon for being very helpful and quick with the process! Until next time, and be sure to grab the new update!~
