Cross Worlds

Cruel World Arc: Fin (Author's Note)

So, you guys like what I did there? You know, how it was originally called the "New World" arc, but it was revealed to actually be called... Oh, you don't really care? Sorry ;-;

WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! DON'T SKIP OVER THIS PART, IT'S IMPORTANT!!! If you're reading this as it's coming out anyways...but it's still pretty important as you go forward, so at least give it a glance.

Onto a more serious note! The mandatory Author's Note update in between arcs! As you can probably tell, the fluff of this story is pretty much all said and done with. Things are going to be getting pretty dark and serious around here from now on. If you don't handle intense themes like suicide, depression, rape, and intense violence very well, then I suggest you cut your reading short here ^-^ There's still gonna be some fluff here and there of course, but this isn't a "Let's have fun in a brand new world" kind of story.

So, have the weakli- *ahem* I mean the faint of heart gone now? Alright then, let's get onto the rest of the updates then!

First, the writing style is going to be changing from here on out. I don't like writing in first person. You can do some clever things with it, yes, but I prefer just being able to tell you guys the story in ways that are easier for you to understand. Just picture it's literally me telling you guys the story through my own lips when you read from now on. If you see phrases such as, "like you and me" in the "third person dialogue", just know I'm literally talking about YOU the reader, and ME the author/narrator. 

Secondly, you won't be seeing much of the back and forth between the two Rikus from now on. Riku Reality and Riku Fantasy are going to start going through their own individual arcs as they begin to live very different lives from one another. They will still meet in "The Cross" and converse every now and then, but this story is about how these two live through and adapt to the new lives they've been thrusted into. The first big arc is going to follow Riku Fantasy, so look forward to it my friends ;3

Third, I'll only be doing these Author's Notes when there are some really big updates. No reason to keep doing them between every single arc, you know? Especially if there's not much to say. If you wanna follow smaller updates or you just wanna know how I'm doing personally, you can always follow my twitterrrrrr *wink wink nudge nudge* I'll let you in on the fact that some big updates are coming pretty soon outside of the book world ;3

And the last thing is that I just plan on updating the Index whenever new info/characters are introduced. Not to mention, the present arc will also be plastered on the Index, in case you...wanna know for some reason, I don't know. There's not gonna be any arc listed right now though since we're gonna kinda be in an in between phase for a couple more chapters

And that's everything I gotta say! Like I said before, if you want constant updates about these books, your best option is to follow me on Twitter; LoneWolfSora18 or Sora Okami in the search bar if ya need it!

Now then, shall we get on with the story? I guess I'll spoil you all a little. We'll be following Riku Fantasy in this next big arc, which will be know as the "Apollo Brotherhood Arc".
