LONG POST INCOMING ‼️
Hello! I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays, and as we approach the new year, I’d like to bring up this HUGE dilemma I’ve been having-
As you know, a few months ago I put Re:Call on an indefinite hiatus to focus on one story at a time, and not lose my sanity in the process cuz holy hell this shi ain’t for the weak. The problem lies in the book itself. Recently I went back to read Guilty, the first installment, just to refresh myself on what happened and everything…
And I realized I REALLY don’t like that book. Some of the decisions and details started to just turn me off to the point that I can’t even ignore it anymore, and it’s starting to affect my motivation for continuing Re:Call. Then comes the idea to just discontinue the whole series, but that decision doesn’t sound right to me either.
The only thing I’ve thought to do is to potentially rewrite portions of Guilty; the core aspects will all be the same as well as characters’ personalities, but their actions and decisions would make a lot more sense than it did—such as having a more solid reason as to why Taurus was accused and not some half-baked excuse, and more people fighting for her not to be executed. Basically, acting more like people who’ve known each other for over a decade instead of a few weeks-
There would also be minor tweaks in history and some added scenes that would make the book feel more…alive, but then again that’s all just possibility I haven’t decided on yet.
It would probably take a LONG time to rewrite the portions I want to fix, and then making y’all read all of it over again makes me feel kind of bad, but I don’t know if I can continue Re:Call otherwise.
Let me know what y’all think about all this. Should I go through with rewriting it or should I just suck it up and keep the decisions I’ve made and continue Re:Call cuz right now, I’m genuinely stuck
