[Author's Note for the Arc 1: Yay! It felt so long but it was just swift reading.
As a reader, I didn't expect any of the twists and turns here, I also have so many questions. There's also a hollow feeling after Alpha's death even though because I'm also the writer, I know why it happened and why it had to happen.
As a writer, it was a plan I didn't expect to deviate too much at all. The characters were so unruly they created their own stories, persona and so on. Even the Side Characters became very impactful here to introduce the Sho's world, the changing world and the possible merging world.
I honestly didn't plan it to be heavy. I planned everything to be heartwarming. However, as this is a setting where the world they knew was becoming new, it's almost certain that chaos and disaster would ensue. I really want my hero to just have it easy and rest, especially after what he had been through. It makes me ache knowing what he experienced and what he would still experience.
And as such, Arc 2 would finally show the heartwarming side of the new world. It's time to Entangle all the Threads that were created. If Arc 1 showed the bad side that humans didn't expect. Then Arc 2 would show the good side of humanity, although there would still be dark stories here and there that I really have to tell for everything to be pieced together. It is necessary because I'm just focusing on my Main Characters which are on Yamato when this is happening all throughout the world.
On that note, I could put on scenes of what is happening all throughout the world but the storytelling would be too messy that as a reader, you or even I probably won't know what the writer wanted to tell. All other people of the world would come later when the MC came in contact with them.
It has been long, but it's just the Beginning.
With that being said, I'll take one week break. I've actually mostly just edited the whole Arc 1. Because of the solidifying Characters, there was a lot of things that had been polished along the way and took more time than I calculated. Because of that, I was not able to continue writing >.<. I would need to finish Arc 2 before I start posting it. I just can't let go of loopholes and polishing the stories, characters and setting,
I hope you could still stick around and read through the stories to come~]
