I was reading through another project I started ages ago...

The evolution of the breakup options has been interesting to me.

Shoutout to chapter 10 for being so well-prepped for beta already

I started working on it today and I'm already 3/4 done 🤯

With regards to chapter 9...

IT'S DONE IT'S DONE IT'S DONE

I'm so relieved T_T

Now on to chapters 10-13...

Rin apologizes so much more to a romanced MC and it cracks me up 😂

Extended Writing Update

Chapter 9's pre-beta edits are so close to done T_T I've got 1/3 of the final route left to do, and I'm hoping to get it finished this week. I've fixed so much of it, including some bugs I found an...

~ Some fun facts about Leas' side characters ~

• MC's friend Sena, who runs the cafe MC likes, wanted to be a Den agent when she was little. Now, she's relieved she didn't end up doing it. She's a homebody and prefers not to leave her nei...

Extended Writing Update (Leas + Flashpoint)

I'm pushing my way through prepping chapter 9 for the beta! Given that it's got three separate routes + is a long chapter to begin with, it's taking longer than half the previous chapters combined ...

Every time I release an alpha

Every time I release an alpha I have this weird moment I have to budget time for, after it's all uploaded and seems to be working right.
