Me mek, an ye, olip wohk fo so :D
I did, and yes, quite some work :D.
(And I need to revisit the older chapters, as I started about five years ago, and the grammar has been changed an augmented, though most will still be ok. But that didn't stop me from starting with chapter 7 :).)

EDIT: I just found notes in chapter one dating from 2017, so apparently I've been going a little longer :D.

the advantage of free activities is that there's no urgency; on the contrary, the time spent increases the pleasure produced...

It's a Western Romance language, from the slopes of the northern Pyrenees. I think it's a little boring.

It looks like the Seven Kill Stele. (Nortaneous and Hallow XIII also like it.)

(A more accurate translation of that last verb complex would be something like, ’while they also like it alongside him’, but that’s not really idiomatic English. You could just say [eŋeyner] taŋrwoŋsesi if you wanted to be closer to the translation.)
