I’m conflicted about the chapters tonight (56-60) because I’m trying to thread the needle between a behavior/shtick I love and a desire to show character growth. Specifically, this relates to Sift. After reading these chapters (56-60), if you have a feelings about them, good or bad, please leave a comment or send me an email/IM. Even if you can’t explain why you feel that way, I’m very interested in your impressions. If anything else bothers you or if something made you laugh or happy let me know that as well.
I know my writing can become a little self-indulgent sometimes at the expense of the story’s pace. That, combined with my uncertainty about the chapters, really slowed me down this week. I’ve almost scrapped this entire section a couple times, and I might still do that as much as that pains me—or possibly trim it down.
I feel this section might be going on for too long as there are still a couple of chapters left in this section. Although chapter 61 should be epic. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions. Don’t worry about hurting my feelings, I know you all love this story as much as I do and only want what’s best.
I opened chapters 49 and 50 for Root.
I opened chapters 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55 for Harvester.
I added chapters 56, 57, 58, 59, and 60 for Step Master, Blapy’s Favorite, Divine, and Axiom.
Enjoy!
Thank you for being here and supporting this story.
Take care,

2025-07-05 06:33:09 +0000 UTCI love the interplay between Sift, Ruwen, and the rest of the gang. I love the character growth we see in these chapters and the depth it adds to Sift’s character. I definitely think you should keep them all as they add a meaningful element to the overall story and character interactions. It also provides and good segue for Echo to become part of the gang.
