So, this wasn't something I was expecting to do. I guess I'm only now waking up to the fact of what a shit show this quickly became, I had started to write this only a couple months after I joined the site, I was still really inexperienced and I was still under the impression that I could have a free flowing structure where everything would lead to one thing, I didn't think to actually structure it properly. I'm really on this downwards slope at the minute, the same thing happened with my Arc-V story.

I committed many of the cardinal sins of writing when I started writing this. I didn't have a clue where I was going with the story as I really didn't expect people to read it. I didn't have firm character bios for personalities or backstories. Nothing was planned out ahead of time which lead to haphazard storytelling and awful pacing.

It also doesn't help that I grew to dislike Vrains during Season 2 for how repetitive and melodramatic it got. I stopped watching it soon after GO's duel against Earth but reading the synopsis on the Wiki just made it seem so boring. "Oh look! It's another character 'dying' again!" Come on, that was done in season 1, repeating it is lazy as all hell.

The main issue I had with this story as a whole was how it felt like a Frankenstein's monster of ideas that either had no impact on the overall story and characters that appeared out of thin air and had practically no development to them.

Doesn't helped that I copied one anime duel word for word and did another one in a similar fashion.

Honestly, everything in this story was really poorly structured and I had a fucking mess on my hands every time I tried to write a new chapter, which in turn would only add more to the mess that I had created.

People who have read both this story and my original Arc-V story, you know that this isn't unusual, it was the same problem that plagued that story too. Messy characterisation, shitty ideas that went nowhere, characters out of nowhere, bad pacing, the whole nine yards.

I've been deliberating over this for the past couple days, whether I could salvage this story from the shit I had put it in or if I would turn off its life support. I'm choosing the latter.

This version of the story is too messed up for me to fix and I'm cutting its head off.

But that doesn't mean that it will die.

Much like Arc-V, I'm going to take another shot at writing this. This time round, there is going to be actual thought into the characters, the plot lines and the character's backstories, it will lead to a more coherent structure and I will write a better story.

With that said and done, be sure to look out for when I reboot this story in the next month or so. In the meantime, read the rebooted Arc-V story if you haven't already.

See you then.
