No one’s talking about anon’s weird assumption that authors go from idea directly to manga, and not that most authors start by writing a novel to attract a sponsor.

That’s how Wildbow does it.

A while back I read several bad books in a row and decided to try manga for a break. Some of them were good, others weren’t. Then I got frustrated because most of the stuff I was reading wasn’t finished, so I sought out the source material novels that were further along. Ended up finding some really good books that I otherwise would have never knew existed.
Highly recommend the Ascendence of a Bookworm novel.

Aluminum is a weird choice because it’s almost always alloyed with other metals.

Oh yeah that sounds nice, it’s almost certainly a cultural thing haha. Here in the US it sucks.

if it really becomes too much, they will just assign others to help you out
I can’t even imagine this actually happening, even at the better companies I’ve worked at. Closest I’ve seen is when someone is so overloaded that they quit, then management decides to hire two people to replace them so they can “catch up”.

In my experience people will often offer $20 for anything worth up to $1000 and as little as $50, any less and they want it delivered for free.

Better to just accept the gifts for yourself and let them fire you. I imagine a juicy wrongful termination suit would be appropriate.
