Hey there!

Hope everyone's 2025 has been going well so far. I wanted to make a couple general announcements as well as implementing an idea I've been thinking about for a little while. I have decided to remove the text differentiating each chapter to make the story feel like it has better pacing. My writing style involves very short chapters, which I've noticed tends to work better with books. Here, it just makes it seem like I do not know how to pace stories. This is just an experiment, so after looking at feedback I will decide whether or not to stick with it. Be sure to let me know what you think!

I also have decided to make build 6.0 focused on art rather than 7.0 like I originally planned. This serves to give me extra time to plan the finale as well as giving me a much needed break from writing. Additionally, since the project is nearing completion, I have been doing some planning in the background for the next project, which I will talk more about after Ballad's story is complete. Be sure to follow my Twitter for updates on that as I will be talking about it on there hopefully soon.

Thanks!
