The story is nowhere near the end! Or so I have to remind myself. I've actually started this book a long time ago, if I recalled correctly, it'd be 3-4 years ago. How time flies when your actual passion is drawing and you spend alot of the free time you had playing mobile games and doing everything else other than writing.
Before anything else, a big shoutout to Pantuteros for voting on all the chapters (I guess?) even though my updates have been sporadic as heck, and be that person who continuously support this story.
I did try to update while in the army for the past 2 years, and over this duration I've came up with more ideas for this story. At the very beginning all I wanted to write about this guy who gets transported to another world, gets into a relationship with a girl who is supposed to be his enemy, and fight strong enemies while gaining strong comrades. Simple, right?
But along the way more problems came up with the simple-go-lucky plot as I continued to come up with story ideas. I decided to make the setting of the Nayshards being the ones over-running the world, and the Sparks being in few quantities because I won't have to think up of too many names and characters to join the MC (lazy, I know), then I further reduced the number with the war in this book. This resulted in the somehow awkwardly placed war while Haruki haven't even had much training.
Afterwards I came up with the idea about white light being able to split into 7 colours just to add vibrance to the monotone idea of "Light vs Darkness". A lot more ideas came up afterwards, including exploring the other countries, which I hadn't planned to in the first place because that would make the story drag even longer. But I thought, if I'm writing this story, I'd better put everything I have into it so as not to regret it. Even if nobody finishes the story, even if nobody reads it, I'll feel satisfied to have written it to the best I could.
Pretty funny when at the start of the story none of this were my intentions. Guess it goes to show how much more determined I have become after all these years.
....Then there's the problem that no matter how I look at it, the whole structure for this installment just feels weird. MC meets girl, then gets invited to train at a school which coincidentally gets obilerated when he's out, and afterwards fight a war only to get out alive and somehow remain unpursued until much later, right when he disappears to train. Makes me wonder what's going on with the people in LeFolia myself.
"But you're the author!"
Oops.
Okay, enough of the self-blaming, I don't know when anybody who will read this, but I'm going to edit the book to make sure it doesn't feel too weird. Heck, should I reupload the whole story, with a new cover, better flow, and new character designs and illustrations just for the sake of it?
