I CAN EXPLAIN
oh boy, its been a while since I started hasn't it?
I uploaded the first chapter on the 21st January of 2023
And i had been writing this fic on and off in whatever free time i got for nearly an year and a half to two years before i got the first proper chapter done
initially Kaine wasn't named Kaine and he was an asshole, Ana wasn't even part of the story
back then it was going to be a pure FuKi story, but I couldn't figure out how to go forward, hell i couldnt figure out how to chapter 1
and then came this amazing little time travel story known as "Null and Void Deaths" by "Rush_Alias"
with that story came Rushy's discord server where i met some people i happily call friends
one of which was known to the server as "Tuna" whose HI3 AU that he was working on was what inspired me to bring Ana into my fic and he was also the one that checked my work in those early days
so shout outs to him for helping me out in those early days
along with everyone else from the server that helped me out with fleshing out Kaine as a character
now enough about me, lets go onto the main focus of this AN: the story
im sure the epilogue came out of nowhere for most if not all of you
even back then when i started writing i had thoughts on how some things will happen
however the full fic that i was thinking of doing far too ambitious for my first ever fic
that mixed with anything in the future was so vague in my mind that i decided back then that ill finish off this "book" so to speak here right after Kiana leaves St.Freya
now will i be continuing this story at all?
short answer is yes
the long answer is that i need to figure out the ramifications of my decisions to the characters and the plot as a whole
where is cecilia?
how are Mobius and Eden alive?
when did Mobius and Eden meet up with Hua in CE?
how will Mobius deal with Himeko's artificial stignata?
will Himeko get an artificial stignata override of sorts that gives her a stig thats more compatible with her?
or do i have Mobius make Himeko into CE's first Mantis?
decisions decisions...
all questions that ill need to answer along the way without contradiction
now the next part will almost completely be in Tai Xuan
i havent decided if i want to do 2 seperate books with one focusing on Kiana's group in Tai Xuan and the other focusing on Kaine's group in St.Freya
or if i should mix them both together into one singular book
when will i start writing the next book is up in the air
ever since part 1 ended ive fallen out of HI3, ive tried to get back into it but there's so much dialogue
aaaanyways, im going to focus on my other stories for the time being
other than my long term Neptunia fic, there is a HI3 x Neptunia crossover one that ive recently started working on
if theres any questions feel free to drop them in the comments ill do my best to answer them (hopefully without spoilers)
anywho, ciao for now~
