(anyway, yeah it's your turn since that's the correct answer :) )
@Jafe ahahah
Before I forget to say it: I'm a bit dissatisfied, though, that I had to use another first-letter indicator. I don't want to overuse it anymore (although it's such a quick fix for a C4) lol
@oAlt And I think you're the first to comment on that, but hopefully not the first to realise! (It was intended as a big opening hint as to where to begin, but was completely ignored in the solution!)
Ha! Now that you've mentioned it, I see what it means, too, but I didn't realize it when I read it. (In my head, I pronounce "pseudo" in German when reading, because it's easier.)
Which is exactly why I can't be hunted down by their royal family and accused of treason :) Bases covered... (or history not checked - take your pick!)
@G_as_in_Gnome That's correct :) SHAKE = "SHEIKH" (to 'shake' someone can mean to 'upset' them; the definition is a direct word-for-word synonym, not anything indirect like 'what you do when you're upset'). Your go then!
Yeah, but I might end up in a special type of cell.
@G_as_in_Gnome Anyway, it's AMOEBA (a single-cell organism, "special type of cell") = O(n)E(s) ("odd ones") in AM.B (abbr. ("short") of Ambassador, a diplomatic "deputy") + A.
@MOehm yeah. I've been wondering for the longest time, though: is that allowed? Like without a comma after a letter selection indicator (e.g. "initially he plays" VS "initially, he plays")?
(not just directed to MOehm but to other cryptic clue people as well)
The current C4 led me to write a Perl one-liner to find "regular" substrings. perl -nwe'use strict;use Unicode::Normalize;my%l;$"="";$_=NFKD$_;s/[^a-zA-Z]//g;my@s=split//,uc;for my$p(2..length()-1){for my$s(0..$p-1){my@w;for(my$w=$s;$w<length;$w+=$p){push@w,$s[$w]};$l{"@w"}=1if@w>1}}print$_,$/for sort{length$a<=>length$b or$a cmp$b}keys%l'
The manhwa is about a female that has power in her necklace (the necklace is like a storage world in which she can store anything) so her boyfriend and her best friend betray her to get the necklace (the boyfriend presents the necklace to the best friend) then leave her to get tortured and raped ...
@oAlt (My gosh, I just noticed how incoherent this is; I typed it in a rush. What I meant to say was that I won't always be able to send title clues (precisely because they are restrictive), so there will be gaps in my title clue chain, and in those gaps I will post regular clues instead.)
Well, perhaps a clarification. The edit I made was from "regular" to "regularly taken", which means that the "every other/third/etc" indicator applies to "shift". I have no qualms about that blatant revelation, because you'll get the opportunity to curse another sloppiness with my sub-par clueing again later on.
