I have an update on my DDLC book, but before I get to that I just wanna say I'm pleasantly surprised that The Lost Faunus got about 2k reads ever since I republished the chapters. I know what I already said about that book, but thank you anyway!
          
          Anyway, here's an update. Originally I was going to continue the DDLC book from where I left off, but I'm going to be honest and say I'm dissatisfied of how I wrote the existing chapters. They're not bad per say, but I know I can do much better in comparison to 5-6 years ago. So instead, I'm going to use the old chapters as the bases for the new respective chapters. The plan is to write more the scenary, rework and expand the dialogue to make it more natural to read, and actually write as if it's a book and not a play. 
          
          Furthermore, I really don't like how I made the chapters 1k-2k words at the time. It's clear to me know that I was more concerned for quanity over quality for the sake of reads, votes, and followers. Now, I just want to release good quality chapters for everyone's enjoyment.
          
          To end this on a good note, as of right now I have at least 1.5k words on the prologue... and if you use the old prologue as a reference, I'm not even past writing the breakfast scene yet. It's going to take a while, but I promise it'll be worth the wait.
          
          My goal is to release this chapter before January. Preferably I would've said it'll be out in two weeks, but I have college finals to focus on. Regardless, I have high hopes of the chapter being published sooner than later.
          
          Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I wish you all a fantastic day.

republished my original fanfic. to those that want to go back on memory lane, have fun

So quick question to any of my DDLC followers. I've been thinking about starting over on my DDLC book (which isn't a big deal considering I only have like 2-3 chapters lol) but I'm stumped on whether to make it a completely wholesome story or to have more story elements from game in it... and no need to worry, I'm not going to add any fourth wall breaking moments or anything of the sort, I would like to have some sort of realism within the book after all. When I say "elements", I basically mean the same dark elements that made DDLC a beloved game for its fans. Now I understand this will transition away from how I made the book originally, but I want the book to appeal to both the self-insert readers and the veteran fans alike. I'll think more about this on my own, but at the very least I would like to hear your opinion.

Just coming here to  say I've been a fan since 2018
