What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2004

A Japanese site where amateur writers post web novels for anyone to read free, mostly youth fiction and isekai fantasy.

It holds about 1.14 million novels and has 2.3 million registered users. Hit light novels such as That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime began here, and over 200 of its novels have become anime.

In 2004: Launched in April by Yusuke Umezaki, who had begun building it the October before.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
