#slightly spoilery thing yes but it's kind of like a trailer?? so to speak? xD

I read your chapter note on 229 and just wanted to say that you’re a fantastic writer and I’m so glad you’re willing to take the story where it needs to go, even if it’ll prob upset all of us. Even before reading any warnings about part 3, I always felt that the natural evolution of the story would be for things to take a darker turn. Just wanted to let you know that most of your readers are here for YOUR story, both dark and light moments, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to read it :)

Thank you very much, Anon! I admit I'm always slightly worried about reader reactions whenever the story takes any controversial turns and I'm sure the upcoming ones are going to elicit some veeeery passionate responses. I do believe that the path I've chosen will make sense narratively beyond what people's emotions might dictate xD but I really won't be surprised if most reactions aren't particularly positive, regardless of how much sense the story makes by that point in time.

Anyway, I was surprised by the number of people who have pledged to see this wild ride through to the very end. Admittedly, I'd keep going even if nobody sticks around xD but it's good to know some people really are here to see a story being told. I won't say everyone ought to trust me and my choices as a writer xD nobody really gets to demand for trust, let alone to predict how others will feel about anything they do. Even so, I'm still touched by all those who believe in my storytelling sense and who intend to join me in the complicated and distressing Part 3 once we finally get there :)

So, thank you very much for the ask! I'm just really glad to know of more people who intend to keep going with me xD it's a big relief to find people like you in this dangerous narrative path I'm taking us on.

#anon #gladiator #I am either the best or worst at sales pitches with Part 3 #I intend to drop something huge in the anniversary next year #something that hopefully will compel a few people #to keep reading #slightly spoilery thing yes but it's kind of like a trailer?? so to speak? xD #anyway #I raise my glass to you guys #and I really hope I don't let y'all down in the future #thank you for the third time xD
