Hello readers, it's been a while >:3.
As I always do I want to make some changes in the next volume. But compared to others these changes can be a bit intimidating.
1. First person POV (protagonist).
The most obvious fact is the change in the protagonist's POV. I decided to move to the first person in the next volume. Instead of saying "Asha was not satisfied with this result" will be something more like "Although it was not my liking, there was nothing that could be done."
Secondary characters will still be written in the third person except for the protagonist. This change could give the story a different tone, as the reader will closely follow the protagonist's unconventional way of perceiving the world through his powers.
The old model was intentionally adopted because I didn't have the skills to describe the protagonist in any other way.
2. Chapter structure
You've already seen this change in the last few chapters, "Asha and Mental Problems (1-3)" + "Intermission". In the next volume, the chapters will have sequences based on a larger plot rather than individual and spontaneous plots as before. The goal is to aim the plot in a more objective direction.
3. Volume structure
The volumes will be larger (25~?? chapters). This volume, for example, will be called "Cautious Peridot". It will be a larger volume compared to the others and it will also be the last volume before the canon.
# Final considerations
This can be a bit concerning but we are still in the early stages of this story. Probably there will be at least 200 chapters ahead. This story was planned to be long in the first place. Those changes were made to increase my productivity and of course, increase my fun.
Following the previous model with low productivity, it would be impossible to end this story in less than 3 years. The new model is much faster and simpler to write, which will alleviate much of my headache.
I hope the changes will be positive for the story; I'm really excited to start writing in this new format. It was something I thought of while studying other authors I loved. The way they organized the chapters was so practical and beautiful that I decided to incorporate some of those changes here.
As always, I hope you have fun too. See you in the next volumes.
