Another Interesting Update

So, I'm sure that if you read the last chapter, you probably know my current mindset. However, I have been spending most of yesterday self reflecting and just overall in my own thoughts. I'm still not ok, don't get me wrong. I'm not some MC who can just get some crazy powerup/intelligence boost after getting out of some dark times.

However, the conclusion that I did reach was to see just how far I could get in writing if I really gave it my all. Mind you, I have been running on like 40-50% capacity all of my life, no joke. I have never discovered what my limits are because I never pushed past that boundry. I've always felt like and still do feel like to this day that I have so much untapped and wasted potential.

I have so many ideas for fanfictions and original novels that would be in mostly unexplored territory because I myself have probably read a massive amount of fanfiction, novels, manga, manwha, and watched countless amounts of anime.

When I start thinking, I start spiraling, no pun intended based on this fic right here. Another funny fact on how my brain thinks, when I write, I know how I want something to "end" and I know how I want things to start, but everything in between is always up in the air.

The reason for the quotations over end is because even that is in question and constantly changes depending on what is in the middle. The only thing that isn't up for debate is the start.

And since we are delving into the depths that is the recesses of my brain process. I wanted to talk more about this fic and even the original novel I put of that I started posting here called Gamer Souls.

For this particular fanfiction, Final Fantasy X is and will probably continue to be, my all time favorite Final Fantasy. Therefore, I know a large majority of the lore still to this day even though I will be brushing myself up to my stsndsrd on the knowledge so that I can do this fic justice. Obviously I have taken many creative liberties with adding in new items like parts of sinspawn/monsters and changing how certain items function. But that comes with the trick of the trade when I am introducing a new but still similar system into the verse.

Another thing I'm sure many of you have noticed, at least in the later chapters, and if you haven't, I'm stating it here now. I will update on the current level, items and the like of the characters since I have stated since the beginning that the world will play like the game itself with a mix of some form of realism here and there like actually changing clothes, showers, needing to regularly eat, etc. But the time thing, I feel like I have explained enough in the fic so I won't expand upon that again.

Another thing that might be on your heads is the MC's name: Yole. No it is not a Skyrim reference, it was honestly the very first name that popped in my head when I was thinking of a name for the MC and I stuck with it. Also, for future summons, feel free to leave out names as suggestions, I'm talking the big summons btw, the ones at the end of each element.

Also, I hope yall can leave me some reviews/comments on what you think about certain parts of the story. I was honestly expecting some comments specifically about the whole "Yuna's Dad wasn't really in her life" thing. I mean, I did elude to it throughout the story, but it wasn't overt enough for most people to easily predict or notice. At least from my perspective, it could be completely different for you. Hell, I elude to a lot of stuff all the time just to keep yall on your toes. But regardless, lemme know your thoughts from time to time, and make sure it's somewhat constructive or even a meme of some sort if that's how your feeling. Cause randomly targeted hate is something I will either ignore, delete, or call them out for the fact that they probably didn't even read my story and just wanted to be rude on the internet.

Truthfully though, you guys have been amazing. Just the comments I got saying "Don't give up" or you guys showing support in different ways is amazing in itself. I have another pen name I go under at times but don't really plan on coming back to, at least not anytime soon, called Oshimura. You can look it up if you want, there is an update on some of the fics I wrote there similar to the last one.

The reason I won't be coming back to that pen name anytime soon, is because I feel like the fics I wrote under it, don't really represent who I am as a writer. It felt too 'edgy' if that makes sense. I'm not saying I can't write a villian MC *hint at a possible future fic* *nudge* *blinking three times* but the ones that I wrote felt too lackluster if that makes any sense. They felt too much like a vast majority of MC's on this site as a hole that slowly delve into trash. Not all of them though, there are two fics that I will revive in the future, but on this account. One of them being "Orphanage To Another World", "The Tale Of A Golem Master", and "The Golem Mage Doesn't want a 4th time."

Any other fics/novels under that account will be seeing either complete rewrites or will be dropped permanently. I hate to leave things unfinished, this is why I always said with "I can't attack, but my summons can instead" that I won't drop it because I love this damn fic too much. And I genuinely enjoy writing it.

Suffice to say, I'm gonna focus on two fics for now, this one and "Gamer Souls". I will also open up "other" avenues to support me in the future if you catch my drift, once I get back into the motions of writing and really break off that rust and step out of that pit I dug myself.

You're probably thinking to yourself at this moment thinking, "Hey DayDul! That's nice and all, power to you! But when is the next chapter?" And my answer to that dear readers, is a few days. I'm gonna be starting up two jobs soon since I haven't been in the best place financially, but I'm gonna drag myself back out. One of which is full-time and the other is part-time. Don't think that I won't regularly update this damn thing though. 😤 I want to take these few days to recover my mindset and get back into the motions of writing again.

I know this may be a lot, at least on me in particular, but hey, I felt like it would be good for yall to know, and I don't really have anywhere else to talk bout this kind of stuff. Also this is already longer then a large majority of the normal chapter length for novels and fics being posted on this site!

Aside from the not so Suttle jab, I'm gonna lay out my plans/goals for the near future to far future. And I need yall to hold me to this. I'm serious.

-Make a discord

-Make those "other ways of support"

-Get to the point where I can post a chapter every other day

-Eventually be able to post a chapter everyday

-Go Full-time in writing ✍️

-Write as many fanfics about franchises with very little to none as possible.

-Have Fun

P.S. If yall have any suggestions of animes, games, novels, etc. That don't have many if at all fics that you want me to write something for in the future, let ya Boi know.

P.P.S I once again wanna thank yall for rekindling what little fire I had left, because before it was barely a spark, now it's building back up to a campfire. I hope at some point in the future that it burns and explodes like a volcanic eruption.
