Hello everyone. I'm the author of EXISTALE.

Nice to meet you all, and thank you for spending your time reading EXISTALE. I really do appreciate it. I put a lot of hard work and love creating this story.

It all started when I was in middle school. Maybe it's happening to many people as well but I often imagine stories that's only stored in my mind, not to be shared with anyone. It's been 5 years since then, and I decided to actually serialize and share the train of stories and random ideas that popped up in my mind. It would be a shame if I were to keep it to myself plus I thought it's pretty cool.

EXISTALE is a collection of events I had imagined then, now being put in an actual well-structured (I hope) story with Felix Craftsman as the main character. It's also a way of conveying my perspective in a fun way. You could say in a way Felix is a self-insert but not so much because that would be cringe (I promise the story won't be cringe, please read it.)

Perhaps in the future I'd make more of these "Author's Note" (haha more like author's ramblings) to talk about some things behind the scenes, some commentary about some certain chapters, and in a way a means to communicate with my beloved readers (you <3). I'm pretty sure there's plenty to address knowing the controversial topics I'm going to present in this story.

And before anyone ask, yes. I used the aid of Chat GPT to write my story, as in a tool to put my mind into words because I honestly suck. Just read this passage and compare it with the actual damn story and you'd know. With that said, I'm open to any form of criticism and suggestions in regards to anything related with this story, be it the dialogue, the structure, the plot, whatever.

Of course, there is no good story without good inspiration. Aside from real life events, traumas, and tragedies I'd like to acknowledge external inspirations.

- Xindicta

- Naruto

- Tokyo Ghoul

- My Hero Academia (I'm no longer a fan now)

- Undertale by Toby Fox

Ah crap those are the only ones I can name from the top of my head. Welp, I'll name more as the story progresses.

Special thanks goes to my girlfriend for reigniting my passion for writing stories. I love her so much.

And you, the reader.

Now go have some fun you little sponge.

Happy reading!
