Hey everyone. ThunderDragonRandy here, writer of Bonding with an Oni from Six fanfiction series. It's my fan adaptation of the Re:Zero story where Subaru survives the 3rd loop of Arc 2.

My Re:Zero progress

 * Anime: Actively watching, always up-to-date.
 * Games: I haven't played any Re:Zero games but I am watching an English translation of the Aganau IF story within Re:Zero Lost in Memories on The Monkey King Old Son's YouTube channel since November 27, 2021.
 * Light novel: I do use the light novel as the primary source material for my Bonding with an Oni from Six fanfiction series and among the side stories, I read Ex Vol. 1–4 so far (started reading them in September 2021 and finished Ex Vol. 3 on October 1, 2021 and Ex Vol. 4 on October 18, 2021) as the Ex stories would be important for me to know for my fanfic as well.
 * Manga: I only check bits of pieces of it including things about Al that were cut from thee anime. But other than checking few things, I'm not really interested in reading the manga for the main story but I am reading the manga adaptation of The Love Ballad of the Sword Oni.
 * Web novel: Started Arc 6 on October 6, 2021, finished Arc 5 on October 2, 2021, actively checking up on or reading Arc 7. But I have read summaries about Arc 5 & 6 before checking Arc 7. After getting caught with the anime (Season 2 Episode 10 at the time), I read some Arc 3 Interludes, side stories related to Rem, and the rest of Arc 4 after Season 2 Episode 10 left off on.
 * IF novels:
 * Rem/Sloth IF - Read entirely in October to November 2020, later watched Echidnut's 4-part video summary of it on April 29, 2021.
 * Oboreru/Wrath IF - Just a video summary but I also read a little bit of it.
 * Butterfly's Dream - Read the Rem parts and watched a video summary and voice acting stream.
 * Ayamatsu/Pride IF - Read it and watched a video summary alternatively back-and-forth between April 28–30, 2021.
 * Kasaneru/Greed IF - Read the Web Novel version on September 20, 2021 and checked info on the Light Novel version.
 * I do know the gist of each IF story from reading the summaries on this wiki.

Fan projects

 * Fanfic: Bonding with an Oni from Six (main story W.I.P. again but may be on hiatus again throughout November 2021 during my vacation)
 * A Sin IF Story (Wrath): My Pride and Joy, Sleeping Princess Rem
 * A Sin IF Story (Greed): Securing a Shortcut to Utopia

Characters

 * Characters:
 * Wilhelm van Astrea (both young and old)
 * Halibel
 * Cecilus Segmunt (ever since I read Ex 4)
 * And then in no specific ranking order:
 * Young Bordeaux Zellgef (in Ex 2 when he was still younger, but not when he became older in the main series)
 * Crusch Karsten
 * Natsuki Subaru
 * Otto Suwen
 * Rem
 * Love interests
 * Subaru x Rem x Emilia (and any combination between them with the Three and SubaRem being my favorite)
 * Wilhelm x Theresia (especially in Ex 2 & 3)
 * Grimm x Carol (I surprisingly grew attached to them while reading Ex 2 & especially Ex 3)
 * Fourier x Crusch (when I read Ex 1)

Story

 * Ex Novels: 4 > 2 > 3 > 1 (but I enjoyed them all), have not read 5 yet
 * IF stories: Aganau IF (LiM) > Sloth/Rem IF (WN) ≥ Pride/Ayamatsu IF ≥ Wrath/Oboreru IF > Greed/Kasaneru IF (WN)
 * I'm indecisive with these but I did find the Greed IF to be underwhelming, at least for the WN version...but the LN version has interesting information that also gives me more questions, making me more confused on some things (which doesn't raise any higher). Have not read the Gluttony/Tsugihagu IF yet until I get further into Arc 6.
 * Events
 * Demi-Human War (as I read Ex 2)
 * Vollachian Empire coup d'état attempt (Ex 4)

Power & abilities

 * Attribute: Water or Yin
 * Magic: Healing Magic and if Lightning Magic were to ever be seen, that would be too my favorite on my bias love for electricity/lightning/thunder.
 * According to the trivia section of oswaal L Mathers, apparently, lightning magic does exist and is composed of Wind Magic and some other elements (I'm guessing Fire because heat and energy, maybe Earth element for traveling through objects as the Earth attribute is "inner", and maybe Light for light energy).
 * Authority: Minerva's Authority of Wrath
 * Divine Protection: Divine Protection of Soul Language
