forgot the colon after !writingprompt .

!writingprompt: a story containing a list of the best Light Novels. Myne is an authority on lists as she needs them to organise all of her books. She is also an expert in all Light Novels. So her list better be the best there is!

The sun had just set over the quaint town of Ehrenfest, casting a warm orange glow over the rows of bookshelves in Myne's room. As the top librarian and connoisseur of all things Light Novels, Myne was often sought out for her expertise in compiling lists. And what better list to create than one of the best Light Novels of all time?

Myne sat at her desk, surrounded by stacks of books, and began to scribble down her top picks. She had spent years reading and re-reading the classics, as well as discovering new favorites. Her list was not to be taken lightly.

"Alright, let's start with the top ten," Myne muttered to herself, dipping her pen in ink. "Number one: Sword Art Online. It's a classic for a reason. The world-building, the characters, the plot twists – it's all top-notch."

Next, she wrote: "Number two: Overlord. Who wouldn't want to be a powerful overlord, ruling over a kingdom of loyal followers? It's a deliciously dark tale that's hard to put down."

Myne's pen danced across the page as she continued her list:

"Number three: Fullmetal Alchemist. A story of redemption, of sacrifice, of the consequences of playing God. It's a masterpiece.

"Number four: Clannad. A heart-wrenching tale of family, love, and loss. It's not an easy read, but it's one that'll stay with you long after you finish.

"Number five: KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!. A hilarious comedy with a lovable cast of characters. Who wouldn't want to join Kazuma's misadventures?

"Number six: Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World. A mind-bending tale of time loops and alternate realities. It's a thrill ride from start to finish.

"Number seven: The Rising of the Shield Hero. A dark fantasy with a unique twist on the 'hero summoned to another world' trope. It's a gripping story that'll keep you on the edge of your seat.

"Number eight: The Irregular at Magic High School. A sci-fi epic with a richly detailed world and complex characters. It's a must-read for fans of magic and technology.

"Number nine: In Another World with My Smartphone. A fun, lighthearted tale of a high school student transported to another world with – you guessed it – his smartphone.

"And number ten: The Saga of Tanya the Evil. A dark, military fantasy with a dash of humor. It's a great read for fans of strategy and politics."

Myne sat back in her chair, satisfied with her list. She had included a mix of classic Light Novels, as well as some newer titles that had caught her eye. Of course, there were many more great Light Novels out there, but this was her top ten.

As she finished writing, her friend Rozemyne walked into the room. "Myne, what's all the fuss about? I saw you scribbling away for hours."

Myne grinned mischievously. "I was compiling a list of the best Light Novels, of course! Care to take a look?"

Rozemyne's eyes widened as she scanned the list. "Wow, Myne – I think you've outdone yourself this time. I'm definitely going to have to read some of these."

Myne beamed with pride. She knew her list was the best, and now she had someone to share it with. The two friends spent the rest of the evening discussing their favorite Light Novels, and Myne couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. After all, what's a better way to spend the evening than surrounded by books and good company?

Ugh... I can overlook her talking to her own alter ego, but Shield Hero and Smartphone in a Top 10 list? That just killed my enthusiasm for the AI future.

I think it’s time to let her go.

The stress is obviously getting to her.

[–] NineSwords@ani.social 2 points 4 days ago

Already lost Haru Urara this week. I cannot lose her as well.

Foiled by my own incompetence.
