Progress Milestone

I finished the Chapter!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

It is... so, so long. At 1121 pages, it's the longest Word document I've ever written — Word is actually fighting me every time I open it. I don't want to say much more about it because I'm finally so close to sharing it, but I'll say that I am... SO happy with how it turned out 😭 honestly, in the end, I was just writing and writing, barely stopping to think about what I was putting down, but it flowed so effortlessly that I decided to simply ride the wave. xD

I am exhausted right now, but at the same time, I cannot wait to finally publish this beast.

Thankfully, I've already coded more than half of the chapter, so for this update, I'll be coding the remaining 495 Word pages. First, however, I'll review the bugs and suggestions that people have sent me. I already fixed a bunch, but there's still a small list to clear. I also played through the available content myself and found a number of things I didn't enjoy — they're mostly small fixes, such as dialogues or descriptions, but in two cases, I need to add choices and different outcomes.

As much as I want to jump straight into the new part, I can't let the editing and bug fixes fall too far behind; otherwise, it'd be a pain to catch up in the future.

There's a scene, almost at the end of the update, that I've written two versions of. I've gone back and forth between them, but I still can't make up my mind. 😭 I've been agonizing over this for two days, so I've decided to just start coding. I'll cross that bridge when I get there! But, by God, I hate having this indecision.

When I begin coding, my goal is to go through 20 Word pages a day. I test as I go, so some days, I may not reach the goal, but others, I'll surpass it — when the passages are less complex and don't have as many variables.

Starting tomorrow, though, I'll finish up this month's Bonus Content. It'll be a welcome respite from the branches and complexity of the game. People seemed to enjoy the jealousy drabbles, so I'll probably write the same premise for the other ROs. As for the Mature post, I'm still unsure what I want to write. If you have suggestions, dearest, I'm all ears. 🥺

I hope you had a great weekend and that the week ahead goes easy on you. May the sun kiss your cheeks, the wind rustle your hair, and your ears be blessed with the laughter of a loved one. ❤️
