"I ask of you, Are you my Master?"
These words no longer spoken by the King of Knights, but by the Saber of Red -- The Knight of Treachery.
Volume I in the Hollow Verse.
This 'chapter' serves as the main update and information page for Hollow World. Below you can scroll through for Author Updates which pertain about the overall book, or, you can scroll down for Chapter Updates for a specific route.
---AUTHOR UPDATES---
July 10, 2022 I am planning on either expanding chapters now that the book is finished or adding in extra parts to each chapter or whole new chapters to at least fill in some missing gaps.
This could either end up working as
Chapter 20.2 for example or Chapter 20b. I have not decided on a naming format yet.
I will definitely be eventually going through slowly and re-editing chapters not with new information but tidying up the reading experience.
I hope everyone has enjoyed the book!
---BOOK UPDATE SECTION---

---Q&A---
((comment your question on this line, and Ill answer if needed--questions can relate to story explanations, general questions, etc))
((BE WARNED : OBVIOUS SPOILERS AHEAD))
Q: How many routes? / What happened to the other routes?
This a old question that has been updated.
Its a little complicated. Originally Hollow World was planned to be a singular story with three routes. This would line Hollow World to be similar in vain to stay night but the story slowly became its own whole beast.
Each route was going to feature different heroines and characters. Then not all characters would have appeared in each route.
I forgone this in favour of a singular and consistent story.
Q: Why is Enkidu female?
It got confusing with writing scenes between multiple characters as using the pronoun they or their would start to jumble around the dialogue making it bizarre and hard to follow.
Q: Chapters being renamed?
I may rename chapters when going back to reedit, usually to help the name better fit a narrative structure. The names of chapter are on purpose and hint to the main character of the chapter or an event. I believe sometimes naming a chapter can give away its plot, I usually try to rather only name a character within that chapter or about something not spoiler like. This is not a 100% statement for all chapters however.
Q: Updating Chapters? I always update chapters because my writing can always improve. Just check on this page on author updates at the start to see whats planned.
Q: Will the other routes/books follow Stay Night? No. Hollow World has diverged into being its own story. Treat it as its own timeline as it may originally follow Stay Night story, but we are going to vastly diverge.
Q: Hollow World Opening, was the title done on purpose? And do the lyrics play any role in the story?
Yes.
For context, Hollow Axataria game which takes place after stay night has an opening on the psp which was Hollow World by Aimer.
