In terms of the story. I want to try and do the main plot points in 170 ish chapters of chapters each, and 10 volumes to boot.
Chapter 1-20 is going to be in the summer break, and is the prologue volume.(Volume 0)
At this point going forward is only going to be a maybe. The first 1-20 chapters are going to be written 100% but the following is only a maybe and a outline of my plans for the novel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 21-100(Volume 1-4)
School days. And the school events and character growth
Chapter 101-140(Volume 5-8)
The main climax of the story.
Chapter 141-160(Volume 9)
Continues school days. But with a different tone
Chapter 161-170 (Volume 10)
Graduation and Epilogue.
