Ok, I just did the sketch and there are 4-5 more chapters left in The Year of Rain, with the next one being the longest since there are many things scheduled to happen.
I'll say this now and I'll say it again. Thank you for sticking around guys. I know that TYoR wasn't the best, but you still continued to stick around and for that, thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

I think we can say your done writing hollow knight then? Since it's just been so long. I enjoyed it while it lasted at least.

@ithinkausername The third story is meant to be a thing, she just wanted to wait until Silksong had come out to do so. Only a matter of time now.

63 hours it has taken me to teach the true ending (I go through open world games slow as hell lmao)
Straight, absolute peak every single hour
Except for that fuckass Bilewater area. 10/10 outside of that

@LazyWriter96 Architect crest is probably going to be your best bet in that case because unlike in HK, minion builds are actually kinda broken. Like, poison cogflies were absolutely not play tested.

@TheRealPapaScorch Only 63 hours? That's a rookie number. Watch me complete it in over 100, baby! (I get lost a lot even with maps + I die a lot because my FUCKING BRAIN can't make the connection between touch enemy = fucking BIG ouch! and I also have an nonexistent spacial awareness so I misjudge jumps a lot. I think I'll be safe if I jump now only to wake up with my head up someone's rectum.)

@ithinkausername just search Black96 (stupid name, I know) or My Crazy Year, I have this series (except for the rewrites) cross posted on all 3 of my writing platforms. If you're looking for more Hollow Knight content, then I have more stories published on Quotev, mainly two, Pure and Sweet & Bitter (DayDreamingFool)

@TheRealPapaScorch Thanks. I'll try my best not to disappoint and hope all the writing I've been doing in the meantime will prove its worth.

@LazyWriter96 Other than the less than ideal financial situation I've been hanging in there. Life's been hectic but I've survived worse. Good to see you're still around too, looking forward to the third book more than ever now with the announcement, even though my own writing efforts have been focused elsewhere.

@TheRealPapaScorch Gotta admit, I was extremely surprised to see it. Also, nice to see you! How have you been?

Hey, I just read a post on why we show should show authors how greatful we are to them incase they stop and stuff so I decided to do that. And while I don't read you much now and struggled to read some chapters I did because I'm very grateful to you for your books. I came across 'My crazy years' when I was new and young to fandoms. It has shaped me in too many ways. I write in second person for stories because of it, I enjoy family/community fluff with drama, supernaturalism and suffering. (Or basically any genre in it.) I've used it as example for several book essays in English (and strangely enough found out I was gay from reading it???) Anyways just saying it had a big impact on me and I wanted to say it for years but didn't.
I can tell it came from the heart and you weren't afraid to write what you wanted. Something I see is very hard after trying to write fanficion myself. And to do it so long, with such a small audience, I applaud you. You had arcs, character development, different perspectives that created sense of tension and what I found best of all wasn't afriad to do drastic things. If the main character lost a limb or suffered depression or trama. It wasn't just swept aside. The mean characters didn't just go away. The 'good' guys didn't just get their way and win. It wasn't all adventure, it was mundane yet exciting. Drama in family, drama in strangers, drama in our dreams or when a God of light that can fly is scared of flying? Subline comedy, hello? It goes through the past and future and how it affects the characters or how they can affect the future. I could go on for a million years, even if nostalgia might be dictating me a little bit on it.

@Irishgirl600 Hey, so, let me start by apologizing first because expressing my feelings was never something I was extremely good at, same as replying to others, and lately, I just tend to ramble on and on and...yeah... a thousand apologies about that. With that being said, thank you very much for your comment. It's out of the blue, indeed, but it's just that perfect and wonderful kind of surprise that brightens your day and lifts your spirits in ways you couldn't even imagine. Like waking up to a gift under the Christmas tree after years of finding nothing and thinking you never deserved anything in the first place and growing used to the idea. It's that sort of joy. I know it must have taken a lot of courage to write all of this, (I still struggle to leave comments on the fics I love because I always worry I might say something wrong or my words might be misconstrued or a number of other reasons my anxiety will come up with) so again, thank you very much! I'm glad you liked "My Crazy Year" and that it means so much to you. I had fun writing it, and I am glad there are others who enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately, I don't really know what the future of the series will hold. Silksong is rumored to be finally coming out this year, and though I moved onto other fandoms, I might come back to this story and write more, but I can't make any promises. Once again, thank you very much for your kindness and your words. I can't really express how much they mean to me. I hope you continue to have a good life and keep being the awesome person that you are!

Actually I have more to say- ✍️ While looking through the chapters again, I also realise I write chapters titles like you do.
○ I want to say I think it's great that (unless i dreamed it) that boy (Henry i think?) who hurt Y/n and I think liked her later on (?) Gave up or that she wasn't interested. I find it refreshing that she doesn't immediately forgive or blame (or not blame) him entirely for the OG incident/accident before the first chapter.
○ I like how Y/n actually has a dynamic (both found and biological) family and isn't a Mary sue like other y/n stories. She
introduced me to the reality that the genre could actually be good.
○ The timeliness isn't a straight line so we don't know what will happen next and we aren't confined to one place. We go on adventures in other places, like Gravity falls, Sweden, or the ink machines from bendy. Or just a board kid in school.
○ Also- just amazing the story isn't set in generic unspecified Anercia like every book, movie and other media ever.
○ This book was my first into into mythology (with all the 'gods' and stuff), other fandoms or crossovers.
○ Things can be clique yet still not? Vampire family? Will they ruin everything? Jk, they scared and do nothing, but that kid (Vlad) gets bullied and you get fully-ready-to-throw-down-birch-tree-pady-thing.
○ Again it's just great it goes over hard things like family death, limb lost, family drama, fear, depression, abandonment, and dark stuff with a character who feels real.
○The subtitle cues of sarcasm (or other emotions in description) in the general show how done the mc is like in book one, chapter 'Protector'.
Last point-○ James is just a sweetheart. Safety to that historian lonely dude forever.
Is this enough praise to get my point of how amazing you and your wriiting is? I hope so- I probably have more to say, but i can't remember it now, and in the interest of not killing you by boredom, I won't. Rest well amazing auther.

(I had to divide this up because there was a max character limit oof-)
But incase you never write again or silksong is stuck in the void forever I just want to let you know there's someone who enjoys your writing. I know it's completely out of nowhere, and I'm sorry for that, but just -- thanks dude. If your works were in the library of Alexndra burning down and I had a chance to save any book I'd save yours. I've and always will hold it very dear to my heart for all it's done unintentionally to me. (No I didn't tear up wriitng this it's just the tiny violin playing.) Fandoms are forking crazy. But they are communities. I know that now, so from one person to another I want to wish you well in whatever you're doing or writing or not. Have a good forking life because, genuinely, no matter what or who influences me in my life, I'll forever remember these series and how amazing they are. Even if I don't use wattpad anymore.

Yo, been a while. The plan's still to write the Year of Rain sequel after Silksong comes out, yeah?
Let's hope we don't get fucking cucked again this year.

@LazyWriter96 XBlaze is the visual novel name, some really nice music over there for studying. BlazBlue battle themes are still peak tho.

@TheRealPapaScorch Alright. I'll look it up. :) Could always do with more music

@LazyWriter96 Yeah, I get that feeling. Still got games I started back in 2019 that still haven't been finished. I do recommend at least starting the soundtrack tho, I cannot say how good it is enough. It's even got story mode OST that I use a lot for working and sleeping, even without the nostalgia factor from playing it it's really solid, especially the music from the Visual Novel prequels, as rocky as those ones are.

@ithinkausername Hey. Yeah, I'm still alive, and very sorry for the late reply, but I only now saw your message. I have some issues with notifications on wattpad in that I never get them on time, and sometimes I never get them at all. Sorry about that.

Hey there. Are you still around here and in AO3?
LazyWriter96
@InternetFan Hey! Sort of, I guess. I took a really long time from writing these past few months due to some irl stuff + a major case of writer's block. I'm trying to get back into it this week and hopefully start posting again soon.
