What do you do when a console manufacturer deletes your drawing because they mistake it for a light novel advertisement?

YOU WRITE 20,000 WORDS OUT OF SPITE IN A SINGLE WEEK.

Hey hi my name is Alex Zandra and I do a lot of things; one of which is draw fake light novel covers (silly situation + excessively long title) and post them to Twitter. When folks started drawing in-game postcards about squid maids in everyone’s favorite paint-based multiplayer phenomenon, I made one of my own! But two days later, I got the message above. The decision was final. So I decided to prove them right—by actually making the book a reality. And now it’s here in your hands! So settle in for 64 pages of maids, squids, squid maids, self-discovery, and a LOT of gender feels. Because that’s what I do.

Please enjoy, and let’s keep making wonderful things together.

I stumbled across Zandra's work at a convention and got a physical copy because of the cute artwork on the cover. I'm not familiar with light novels so I wasn't sure what to expect.

Hooooly moly was this a fun read! Every page brims with optimism and self-discovery. I wish I could share the world with the characters Zandra paints for us, from ever-kind Sandi to the sharp and pragmatic Salt to the compassionate founder of the cleanup Luss. Through Brooke's exploration, the reader is challenged to reimagine themselves, perhaps in a friendlier happier place, perhaps surrounded by friends, perhaps as a better version of themselves that they'd wanted to be all along.
