Here’s a question related to your OCs. Where did you get the ideas and inspirations to create your OCs? Namely Master Shinsuke, Akumu, and Haruki.

Thanks for all the info on your OCs. You keep doing what you have to do to get the rest of the chapters ready. Take care.

@Thomas695097 There are so many people like Haruki in our world. People who think their past entitles them to behave poorly. Men who think a small act of kindness from a woman equals the right to own her, who demand and expect attention and affection. Who can’t let go of their selfishness and see people as human beings with their own agency. Haruki is a villain, but he’s also a victim of circumstances. He’s an example of how choices define who we are, instead of our abilities or our lives. He’s definitely gone, though. I promise. While his…effects linger, his story is over. I did everything I set out to do with him. Wherever he is now (which is up to the reader; I have my own thoughts), he will never come back to life.

@Thomas695097 part 2 I think I subconsciously took a lot of inspiration from Tomura Shigaraki when writing Haruki. The way he was a normal, nice kid who simply ended up in a terrible situation through no fault of his own, and just got attached to his “saviour”, who turns out to be a complete monster. My history nerd self couldn’t resist putting a TON of references to historical atrocities in his story. I have so much empathy for what Haruki went through as a child, but like Shigaraki, he chose evil as an adult. There was a point that he could have made a different choice. He wasn’t completely beyond redemption for a while, but he dug his heels in and simply refused any help. His actions with Sakura and the way he was ultimately seeing her as a replacement for what he lost is…well, you can see how he got to that conclusion. At the end of the day, despite his terrible actions, inside he was just a deeply wounded child who lost everything and chose evil.
