It’s been a while since I last posted, and I’m really sorry for how long everything has been taking. I wanted to explain what’s been going on and share a few updates.
First, I truly apologize for the lack of updates. It’s not from a lack of care, I just don’t feel comfortable posting new chapters, especially for Phantom Thieves of Hope, until I’m genuinely happy with where things are.
I also haven’t had as much time to work as I’d like. I’ve still been writing whenever I can, just at a slower pace. I know I’ve said this before, but I’m really close now, I just need a bit more done before I feel ready to start posting again. I’ll let you all know when that happens.
A big reason for the delay is that I’ve been juggling multiple projects: Danganronpa Survivor (Tumblr), Danganronpa 2: ReCaptured (Wattpad), and Phantom Thieves of Hope (Wattpad/AO3).
On top of that, I’ve been working with a close friend, Megacomet, on an original Fanganronpa called Danganronpa: Dungeons&Despair. It’s set in a D&D-style world with 12 adventurers trapped in a killing game, using spells and class abilities to solve or commit murders. I’ve been handling most of the art, including sprites, CGs, and other visuals, so it’s taken up a lot of my time.
Even so, I haven’t stopped working on Phantom Thieves of Hope; it’s just been slower.
For ReCaptured, Chapter 6 is basically done writing-wise. What’s left is the artwork, and that chapter alone needs over 20 pieces, on top of the fangame work.
Once ReCaptured is finished, I plan to upload it and its prequel, Danganronpa ReProgrammed, to AO3. The format will change so each chapter is one full section (Daily Life, Deadly Life, and Class Trial combined), similar to Danganronpa 69.
I understand the wait has been frustrating, and I appreciate your patience. It’s important to me that I take the time to do this right.
Right now, I just need to finish two more chapters of Phantom Thieves of Hope before I can start posting again.
