Thanks for the chapter (I still enjoy reading your crazy world building stories), and congrat' for reaching 1m words!

And good luck with the current time loop scenario (I did not check the spoilers). I guess that the 5-year memory erasing thing will be involved at some point, and judging the (positive) changes that already happened, I guess that Sarah already did some things 5 years ago.

Cooking seems to become Sarah's main hobby. So if Sarah jumps in a food anime universe at some point, I'm sure that some ridiculous skills could be acquired (ex: a bread that is so good that it transports your soul in paradise for 5 mins).

I linked to that page BECAUSE it has a flow chart and many people STILL can't follow it.

I find that for many people, when it is a topic that you love or follow easily... You don't feel better informed on the topic or talented, you just feel that everyone ELSE must be confused or missing something obvious.

Heck, I used to think I was fairly average or even slightly dumb until I found out that the 'boring repetitive classes' were actually HARD for other people, and that the 'silly basic stuff' was challenging for others. Really blew my mind, and it made me reevaluate a lot of things my other classmates and roommates talk about. In some ways, I feel it helped expand my point of view a bit.

A good example of this? Look up videos that display a topic someone loves, like kitbashing together a sculpture, and listen to them absent mindedly talk about techniques and tricks and habits they have that they treat as basic and simple and easy. You'll find that, if you don't share similar interests, it can really be impressive or even impossible depending on the topic.

It's something to keep an eye open for. Sometimes I like to watch random things to see if I have other blind spots like I did for math, such as watching someone restore old furniture or maybe do deep analysis on the mystery behind a horror video game. Basically, finding people who love what they do and trying to look into their world a little.

If you CAN simplify lots of time travel mechanics into easily shared methods, I can promise you there are people who would loves stories about the topic. It's a popular category of fiction, in my opinion... Though quality varies.

. . . . Wait. ... You're telling me that a good chunk of people can't follow basic non-linear timelines because their area of interest doesn't include even rudimentary temporal functions within its framework? I... that... what? How? I'm so confused. It's seriously because people don't share an "interest" ?

No, I can't do it, someone else provide the obligatory musical number..

Zell is clearly aiming to be a good boy for Rinoa and provide all the excuses for prolonged cuddle time! He is clearly aming for the title of "Harem Member of the Month that is not Sarah!".
Ellone is so getting shanghaied into the protective detail, she is an essential taste tester tester!
The food conceptual pull is getting stronger... this can only mean one thing beyong food wars... Toriko is going to get talked into a Cooking Battle!

i hope one of the jumps is toriko great and fun anime
 
I have forgot to comment that Sarah is looking like a black mage with silver eyes...
...and with that I mean the Goddess of black magic, dreams and lewd things :D
 
Congrats on the 1 mill words!
Normal jumpers tend to have to strategize and fret and plan every jump, but Sarah is just all about having fun and doing her own thing. And it makes this act an absolute joy to read :)

So, I'm a little sad it took me this long to think of the connection but...

Adam first got access to Magic from the My little Porn-y setting, and then after that suddenly it was all lewds. Narwhal doesn't count, she was an exhibitionist to start with.

And now of course Adam is empowering Sarah.

Is.... the nature of the Magic they gained just kind of leaking pervy/sexy vibes everywhere? Raw magic was blissing people out in the MLP setting, did they just export it?

Nah, after the MLP setting a majority of the lewd shit that happened was shown to be a pre-existing condition. Being a giant magic elephant didn't turn Sienna into a size queen, she was a size queen and found a giant elephant that also happened to be magic.

Edit: A point relevant to the current jump: Rinoa's father, who has never entered her sphere of influence, saw a picture of her and called her a sex goddess and sex on legs. Her magic couldn't cause that, aside from her magic making her incredibly incredibly sexy, and when your that sexy, do you really need magic to influence others like Sarah does?

I loved reading and watching Toriko, but I don't think there's too many fics of it, at least not when compared to other fandoms. I've tried looking for good/great Toriko fics a time or two, but most seemed to be short and/or stop suddenly and/or be poorly done.

The problem with Toriko fanfics is the authors of them aren't cooks or creative in a similar way to cooks. Toriko is all about food with a shonen plot shoved in, which is great for creature creation, but the more advanced techniques are silly. For example, the Hunger energy attack.

Honestly the way things have been going, Giving Sarah a less chaotic jump tied into her seeming focus on food might be a good path forward. Cooking Show, or something like it, might be easier to reach since she has been focusing so heavily on making amazing consumables. Then after a short run there, it would unlock access to other less sci-fi jumps assuming the fluctuating strata of the local brane doesn't shift again. Plus good teaching skills. The Three Star Gauntlet might be a bit much, but it has a Shopping Door that might just be misused.
 
ugh...
Would prefer... something else.
If you are trying to decide on some niche/obscure settings the MC could go to...
Freakazoid, Kids Next Door, Dexter's Lab, Reboot, Futurama, Big Hero 6, The Neverending Story, The Pagemaster, The Dark Crystal, The Labyrinth, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Invader Zim, Good & Evil/Beyond Good & Evil, Dungeon Keeper, Overlord: The Game, The Matrix, Jumanji(the original), Stranger Things, The 4400, Eureka, Warehouse 13, etc...
Having trouble thinking of more obscure and fun settings. Can remember several, but the names are escaping me.

I almost want Adam and Sarah to end up having to pick between some more jumps that all have time travel involved in them. Just the frustrated horror that he has to go through the same pains again. Maybe on a much smaller scale than 'all of time condensed into one point', though.

That are all not very obscure.
Lasertag,Visionarys,Salvage 1,Automan and Wierd Science are series i would call obscure.
 
Thinking on it, PMMM might actually be a jump with something 'useful' for Adam/the warehouse. Depending on exactly how the mechanics would work on that magic system; plus it does go with the general theme of just straight up cutting through the despair of it. And depending on when/which one, there might not even be issues with time travel there. I think there's at least a few jumps for it? One has multiple different versions of the characters, with vastly different mechanics of how their universes work. Blanking on what work it was based on though. So that one might be interesting for Research to crunch on.

Going with the time travel theme; Chrono Trigger, I don't see too much that wouldn't be covered elsewhere, and it seems like it'd be repeating themes. Maybe as a later bit where Sarah just comments on visiting it, after checking later. Or a jump montage. Adam would likely just straight up avoid it if he could.

Life is Strange, as a whole would likely be entirely trivialized, though there might be something in the powers that are floating around in that verse. (Even if the only Jumpchain I've seen for it is for the first series and its corresponding prequel series BtS. And I don't recall it taking into account the comic series, that is in a weird state of canon.) I suppose there might be some headaches for Adam trying to reconcile some of the oddities between LiS1 and BtS there that are even called out in that jumpchain doc. Though DONTNOD's other work 'Remember Me', might end up being more interesting for him, since it's all about memories/altering them. It would be kind of hilarious if Adam just looks at the modules/data gotten from that jump, only to realize it's the exact same as what he had already made/finished. Since the whole 'time is wonky' between jumps and all.

Eh, I'd argue that 'The Pagemaster' could count as obscure, since it's one of those movies that is kind of forgettable/forgotten. Even if it had advertising at the time. Certainly the least known among that particular list. Reboot is the only other one on that list that I think might count as 'obscure', though it might count as niche. (Although from there I'm reminded of 'Cubix'. I don't even know if there's a jumpchain made of that. I only vaguely remember it existing as a show, that aired in roughly the same timeframe. Even if it was just reruns for Reboot, judging by the airdates.)
 
There are two jumps that have some extremely powerfull food items that act as perk due to how conceptual they are.
In Real Genius you can obtain the almighty power of Popcorn. The capital P is required because you can get any type, variant and state of popcorn in any quantity you want.
At a minimum range declared as "solar system-wide" in the document. This literally allows you to cast a Meteor based on popcorn all day and night. Forever.
It is not even the most pricy item for the origin it falls under. Let that sit with you for a minute.

The other overpowered food item is similar in power but not range. You can have any type of food you want, in any form avaible. As in cans, frozen tv-dinners, fresh produce, gold sprinkled snow cones.. you get the idea. Also anytime, but technically only in range but Sarahs range by now is "yes".. so..
Oh and this item costs only 100 cp or is free to the drop-in origin.
Oh right, it is from a chinese webnovel jump with a lot of chapters, so.. would require several days of reading at a minimum.. so probably not an option unless ace already had an eye on it. "I have a house in the post-apocalyptic world" is the jump. There is a lot of data (complete techbase!), a different clarktech world/dimensionhopping item and an MC that is increasingly unhappy about getting his science getting mistaken for cultivator bullcrap.
It is also a setting that desperately needs more/better food. As in the whole planet at a minimum.
