“Heyyy… been a while huh? I know, I know, you’re all staring at me like ‘Yukie, where’s the next chapter??’ Trust me, I’ve been staring at myself the same way. My schedule looks like a crime scene and apparently surviving on 3 hours of sleep while being a top student isn’t the vibe ✨. Anyway, this next chapter? Yeah, calling it ‘long’ is like calling the ocean a puddle. It’s basically every arc from Romance Dawn to Arlong Park crammed in, with character reactions, banter, brain cells, and way too much detail. Translation: it might hit 3 million words . Soooo I’ll chop it up like watermelon into Part 1, 2, maybe even 3 and 4. I’ll drop them piece by piece, then glue the chaos back together later. Otherwise y’all would be waiting till 2026 and I like you too much to do that ✨
And hey—don’t underestimate how much even a tiny emoji or a silly one-liner comment keeps me writing. That lil dopamine hit is basically my fuel tank ”
