Marine || One Piece [ENG]

the end(no end)

 !PLEASE READ! (please i beg on my knees, don't skip this)

Do you know that feeling when, while striving for something, your delight and satisfaction decreases more and more until it finally disappears? Yes, that's exactly what I experienced while writing this story.

I think I should explain a few things at the end to finish this off nicely. This came from my irritation when I watched One Piece and saw how Ace ended... ;-;

Ace is my sunshine, my number 1 favorite character always and everywhere. This was only made with the idea that Ace wouldn't just esd like this. And that's it. I didn't expect that I would create such an environment, so many characters around it, and have so many ideas in my head... At the same time, I had no idea how to continue it in a good way.

I don't know how much sense what I'm writing now makes sense, after all, it gives two opposite pieces of information - so many ideas and yet I don't know how to proceed. It's a bit complicated, I know...

But I felt slowly suffocated by this book, so I wanted to finish it as quickly as possible. I think it's a pretty okay ending (for me and me - sorry for being annoyed by the ambiguous ending ;D ). And I'm glad I finally finished it.

So yes, I would like to thank everyone who persevered until the end. And for all the activity behind this book.

I'm sure there's a lot more I could write here, there's a lot more... but I can't think of anything at the moment, so at the end I'll just add one thing - damn, I'm so proud of myself for finishing it. Sure, there are a lot of mistakes in it and... and everything, but I finished it! This is my first finished work, and it's so satisfying to know that I finally managed to complete something from start to finish ;-;

EDIT

I wrote this right after I finished writing, I think, the 27-28 second chapter. So yes, much earlier than the written ending.

I wrote above that my enthusiasm and willingness to write it had disappeared, and I wanted to finish it as soon as possible...

When I finished, I felt such a relief that in the back of my mind I stopped having constant thoughts about it. And after I decided that it would be nice to translate it into English, and I read everything I wrote again, I refreshed my ideas that I once had, I remembered everything beautifully and suddenly I had ideas.

So yes, ironically, my desire to write this came back after I finished XD.

First I thought, no, maybe I have some loose, uncertain ideas, but is there any point in prolonging it? And before I decided whether to continue, I made a pseudo-shit storm in my notebook, where I wrote down everything that would happen, what topics I would touch on, literally everything.

This time, I started it as I should have, i.e. after a shitstorm, I arranged everything nicely until the end (unlike the previous chapters, where I wrote very intuitively, spontaneously and I didn't know what the end would be - which actually influenced the length with which I wrote it). And I planned the actions and all the chapters. Literally.

I ended up with 8 A5 pages of shitstorm and 10 pages of planned chapters. This time, I have everything planned (yes, I'm bragging B) ).

That's why I WILL CONTINUE WRITING THIS. I know, you are happy, it will take some time.

We have finished part 1 of this book, the sequel will be part 2 (though I won't split it into two separate books, it will still be published in this one). I could just continue writing this as it has been, without breaking it into parts (because it literally doesn't change anything), it's just for my pure satisfaction tbh.

The changes that will take place are:

- longer chapters - at least I think so, according to my plans they will be longer than in the first part of the book,

- my greater activity ;) - honestly, I plan to write the second part much faster, I wanted it to be quite regular (and I think that due to the fact that I have everything planned, it will go much faster),

- my writing style will change a bit, I think - I mean, I know it changed quite a lot while writing the first part, but I would like to approach the second part more "professionally", so to speak, I want the chapters to be more refined and I want to work on with my descriptions,

- and this time I will ask you (probably every chapter) for your opinions, criticism and your thoughts - because I would like to work on my writing skills more seriously, and to do this I really need to know what you think, what you think is good and what is not, what is missing etc.

I also have requests for you. The more detailed, the better, but I will be very grateful even for a few words of comment from you! (PS, even if you are reading this and I have already written/published subsequent chapters, I am asking for your opinions, please comment )

1. Since this is the end of the first part, I would be very pleased if you would also comment now - what were your impressions, what was missing for you, what did you like, what didn't (etc.), give a general opinion, what do you think after reading it? for now, here is the place for it:

(for the very ambitious, I wouldn't be offended if you wanted to go back and refer/comment on specific things/scenes/chapters ;])

2. I would also like to know your opinion about the ending of the first part - would you be satisfied if it was actually the end without a sequel, or maybe there is a detail missing, or on the contrary, would such an ending upset you:

3. And I would like to know what you think about the relationships between the characters I created, what your feelings are (or do you have any theories about how they will develop):

4. I have one last question about the narration - is this kind of narration good for you, or do you get lost in it, or maybe you prefer it when it is written in the first person:

For now it will be published in Polish, later I will translate it into English.

Thank you for everything! <3
