>Heartbeat Conquest manhwa is leaving WEBTOON at the end of Feb
>Neural Cloud's death is pretty much confirmed
Valentine is dead. Say sike rn
Re: Heartbeat Conquest
Webtoon suddenly released a few chapters of Heartbeat Conquest at once and announced that the title is leaving Webtoon at the end of the month.
From r/webtoons, the reason is most likely due to Peanutoon suddenly shutting down, which screwed up both creators and readers that the Webtoon Artists Association condemned it.
To say I was devastated and heartbroken by this news is an understatement. I'm so distraught right now. It's one of my favorite otome isekai ever - no, maybe my favorite romance manhwa/webtoon ever, the (reverse) harem story of my dreams with harem seeker FL who actually dates multiple boys at once. I love it so much, it means a lot to me.
The only small consolation is, at the very least, we can read the series until the end, and you can access the paid chapters you unlocked, but beyond that it'll vanish to the void...😭😭😭💔 Once again a loss to digital-only media. 😔💔

Re: Neural Cloud
After releasing the grand finale of its overarching arc (but not reaching the ultimate goal), Neural Cloud CN hasn't gotten any updates (new characters, events, and such) for a few months now (around 6 months, I believe). Then, global servers, which were behind, started to rush major events one after another, when they're usually spaced out. To make matters worse, a major event in EN was clearly translated using MTL. Because of these happenings, a lot of players think either end of service is coming or MICA is trying to sync all servers.
Personally, I think it's the former. The game is modern, polished, and well-optimized, but it's pretty casual and never made it big, with low revenue similar to Girls' Frontline 1. I always think it's a miracle that these 2 games can keep going for so long despite all of that.
The writing's been on the wall for a while. Yesterday, the official JP account (which was a few days ahead of EN) just announced that all costumes and furniture will be permanently available in shop. This seems to confirm and seal the game's fate that it will be either in maintenance mode for a while or ending service sooner or later.
At first (when the game first started rushing major events, possibly due to incoming end of service), I was upset and sad. But now, at this point, I've gone through 5 stages of grief already and accepted it. I had no hope left, but when it's confirmed like this, it turns out it still stings a bit.
...I'll leave my essay (future blog post) for when the game announces end of service/maintenance mode for real lol. I already have an idea on what to write. At the very least, I'm quite positive there will be an offline version. Or so I hope. 🙏🙏🙏
Please don't say anything about "that's how live service games are", I know these things already, no need to say it. I've gone through some end of services, too. What makes it more unique is how this is a game by MICA, the developer of Girls' Frontline 1. It's well-known as a "cockroach of the gacha game" for a reason - it's old, outdated, and has low revenue, yet it kept going for so long (it only shut down in CN last year due to disagreements with the publisher and a new version will come). MICA even made more games in the franchise, including Girls' Frontline 2, which is a well-polished 3D game and got pretty big outside China. To put it simply, the franchise is a passion project of a wealthy man until it actually got profitable enough.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ME!!!!
It's funny how Verdant Melodies is very me, while Whispers of Bliss is very my sister. They're catered to us!!
I love both though. Got them in 80 rolls in total. Could've been 75 but I accidentally clicked x10 lmao
That said, I think I like Verdant Melodies more, after all. I absolutely love the flowers and colors (perfect combination of green and pink, I want to use that color palette now!!). Overall it has impeccable cottagecore/bloomcore vibes 😍👌
When I first saw the leaks, I wanted Whisper of Bliss' recolor because it looks gothic, but...turns out it's not pink and black, it's pink and dark purple instead. It's still cute, but I want it less now, so I'll skip it for now. I hope gothic sets will come in the future 🙏

Yonder, a novel platform/app, is closing down. I never use it, but there are official translations of Korean novels there
Yet another (grim) reminder of the above quote...
Paid readers are once again losing. It's so frustrating to get the short end of the stick for doing the right thing (paying for legal access)

After almost 10 years, this citadel FINALLY cleared era 6, and Manba-chan went off to kiwame!! 🥺🫡 And I recalled him immediately lmao I couldn't wait 😆
Glad to see kiwame Manba-chan again 🥹🥹🥹
Just days before Chougi got kiwame, all according to keikaku 😎 //no
It's a coincidence lol. I've been working toward clearing era 6 for a while. 2 days ago, I breezed 6-1 to 6-3, reaching the boss in one try. But the news did push me to rush 6-4 earlier. And ofc all the bad luck went to 6-4 lmao I knew the good luck was sus!!
Anyway...I leveled up Chougi to Toku before realizing that he and other swords I love and want to raise were a distraction to my mission to clear era 6. But I'm done with that now, so time to raise him!! Doubt I can make it for his kiwame in 2 days though lol
Oh right, before I forget: trying to clear era 6 makes it clear to me how, with the repair 0 time 0 resources campaign ongoing, this is really the perfect time to clear front lines. No need to worry about resources when your swords get injured, truly a lifesaver 😎🙏
