Hi everyone 😊!
I thank you all for sticking with me in my journey of writing a shonen inspired Web Novel. It's unfathomably unbelievable that we are nearing 10k views which I never thought was possible while writing this back in July. It's honestly amazing.
Anyhow, I wanted to layout some facts and figures and the general overall direction of the story. Firstly, we'll talk about on the latter.
The Withering Cold is basically inspired of the Shonen Mangas: Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, Naruto and Chainsawman. It had been a dream for me to write a manga, but I tried that once and it's too tiring. Hence the second best thing is a web novel where I can layout my writings + my drawings with a free schedule. I honestly plan on making TWC very fun and the power system Senzai, be fun in learning and what not.
TWC will go on as per Story Arcs and there will always be a new volume every 10 chapters + maybe a special chapter like this one.
Well... That's what I really want to say lol.
Here is our factbook for the characters!
Hikaru Shimo:
- The Main Protagonist of the story
- Age: 16 years old rn

- The Deuteragonist of the Story.
- Height: 5'8"
- Age: 19 Years old.

Sora Makizushi:
- A Major Character; the posterchild for TWC
- Height: 5'11"
