NOVEL WEB Arc 1 References
Hey guys thanks for all your support chapter 22 will be out shortly as well as the first Patreon exclusive erotic story. I thought it'd be cool to go over all the references to other series or franchises that i used through out the Shikishima arc.
In no particular order here they
Mari is taken from the manga Inside Mari
Bloody Mari is a play on the urban legend
Shinobu is taken from Shinobu Kocho (Ara Ara)
Shikishima is taken from Mirei Shikishima the protagonist of Valkyrie Drive Mermaid.
The goddess Nero is a double reference (Nero from Fate umu/Nero from Devil May Cry)
Velvet is named after the protagonist of Tales of Berseria (Velvet Crowe)
Eris Empire got it's name from Eris in Konosuba.
Daphne is named after the ReZero character of the same name.
Seijuro is named after Seijuro Akashi from Kuroko no Basket
Atsushi/Mari/Shinobu did in fact wipe before jumping to their death (they were so lost in depressing thought they did it without thinking)
Mari has two children Arashi Anno (17) and Azusa Anno (15) the surname Anno is a reference to Hideaki Anno the creator of Evangelion
The whole gimmick for the story came about because i adore Megumin from Konosuba and thought what if wrote a story about a powerful mage who has access
to unfathomable power but is useless after a short time.
the name Atsushi is also a double reference to Atsushi Okubo the creator of Soul Eater/Fire Force and Atsushi Murasakibara from Kuroko no Basket
