Would it also be of interest to folks if I made official concept art for characters? I’ve made some doodles in my spare time but I’ve never made any actual big things that I’ve finished, besides that one Vanessa drawing 
          	
          	They would be kind of messy and sketchy, but I think it would be fun to put some faces to names, at least how I imagine them 
          	
          	I also plan on trying to get the new cover done before I start posting again (but no promises knowing meee lmaoo)

Hey Lotus, have you ever considered the fact that if you took the average word count of Conductor (I don’t know what it and I don’t feel like doing math so I just too the word count for a well sized chapter and used it as the average) and multiplied it by 95 (your current chapters) it would be longer to read than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy? Apparently a group of people found out the word count for the entire trilogy is 481,103 words and your average (might do the entire word count later) is around 532,000 words. Congratulations, by the time this is done it will be faster to read all of Lord of the Rings possibly TWICE than it would be to finish this. 
          
          You’re doing amazing Lotus! Cant wait for the next chapter!

Idk if you have one planned, but I‘d love a prequel explaining intentional plot holes throughout the story, like how Germany and Lumios met

@Hoyong99 I did actually have plans for that, as well as a story outline and even the first chapter written out! However, I'm not sure if I'll ever go through with it. I may keep it as just a short story, or I'll incorporate details into the main book to keep it easy to digest
            
            but we'll see!

Big note on the newest chapter! For those who aren’t quite that far, I’m gonna take a break from posting to work on some stuff! I’ll have things back in order as soon as I can, thank you for your patience and support ♡ 
          
          Also always open to questions and comments about anything, so feel free!! (especially lore conversation :3c)

I’m considering plans to revise some things and make some deep edits soon, once I finish the current section I’m working on 
          
          I may not go all the way back to the beginning, but there are some sections I really don’t like, and until recently, I thought maybe it was me being harsh on myself until someone shared the same thoughts 
          
          I’m currently riding the wave of what I’m writing right now, but as soon as I’m done with that, I maybe take a break from new content for a while, extract a large section I want to rework, and just consolidate/completely rewrite the entire bit until I’m happy with it 
          
          I was going through a weird haze at the time and I feel like my head is a bit more clear, especially now that I’ve got things mapped out better 
          
          TLDR, if you have any criticisms to share or things you want me to look for, share them with me now (preferably here under this post) so I can look for them when I do go back

@Deino-Nuggets that’s one of my major issues
            Specifically the hideout, I spent way too long there and I think I just needed someone to point it out for me to feel like my hatred towards it was validated 
            I want to rewrite and shorten basically that entire section

@MidnightLotus_ im curious to see what you think is particularly weak about the conductor. im a bit behind but i think the only thing i disliked while reading was that the pacing kind of dragged on, but nothing major ^^
