Droped.

HI guys. life got me by the balls. so one thing lead to another and here we are.

if that's all you guys wanna know then I can only say thank you for reading this far. you can pick this novel up if you want. I don't mind. I still love to read a few fanfics here and there but majority of my time is consumed by work and whatnot.

The reason i dropped it is because it became apparent to me that I write myself to a corner.

1. i made my character way too op.

2. I made the story boring.

3. I changed the character.

4. my mindset changed over the course of the year and my writing reflects that. instead of Akira that you guys know well for over a year now, I written up Liam whose more carefree and shounen like. because it became hard for me to make a scenario for Akira. in all my years making a campaign for dnd, I never thought beeing too strong is a problem. I always gave my players the power fantasy they want, and it turned hollow in the end, In DnD I solve them by always mentioning the past 'heroes' in the more recent campaigns so that they feel the character made the impact. I thought I can breath life through the interactions they have and a lasting impact to the world but I think I failed.

I know it sounded like an excuse, and I didn't seek validation from ya'll but I just want to say thanks for everything.

I got a new novel out, well at least try to. but I never had the motivation to continue past a few chapters.

But if you're really still here then let me gave out my plan for the series have I not stopped:

1. I created an 'adult' group for p5, so you can think of the adult confidants have their own team called 'hunters of old'(sojiro group) vs 'the phantom thieves' (ren group) and train them/ have a clash with them.

2. since haru's conflict is arranged marriage which is solved by akira, I plan to replace her with Hifumi (the shogi girl), haru'll be dragged in instead of having a personal problem.

3. same thing with futaba, I plan on making futaba mischievous and stumble into sojiro's covert work. since her mother didn't die. and she has no reason to persue the phantom thieves.

4. Alice's persona will be alice, because why not? (or it can also be nursury rhyme because why not.)

5. Make Goro's obsession with his father dissapear and instead obsessed with Akira.

6. Introduce a secondary villain, Wolf's boss(the police chief) from persona 5 striker. persona : Sherlock.

7. add in some plots from niche games/animes. (imagine katekyo hitman reborn. or jojo maybe hell I dunno. )

8. marriage + honeymoon = persona 5 striker plot.
