Hello and welcome, this is a extremely important author's note. Please, before you go ahead and read the next chapter, let me just take a few moments of your time to keep you caught up with things.
Firstly, this story had secretly gone through a 'revamp' during its short break. As I started writing this story very early into Yandere Simulator's development, I was left with very little canon information to work with. Because of this, many of the Rival names in this story and their actual, canon names are different.
I have spent a lot of time carefully revamping that. Now, if you go ahead and look at previous chapters, you will see that all Rival names have been fixed to their canon names from Yandere Simulator.
For example: 'Shikiyuki' has been converted to her canon name, Megami. The Cooking President 'Honoka' has been converted to her canon name, Amai.
I did this because I am aware that many people are fans of the Rivals of Yandere Simulator, and they might get confused if they read this story and suddenly see all the Rivals possessing completely different names. With this new revamp, all Rivals will have their canon names instead of the placeholder ones I had for them.
Now, you might be asking yourself: if this story is trying so hard to be as close to the canon as possible, what's the point of reading it?
Well, though I will do my best to keep it similar to the canon lore, there are still several strange elements that are unique to this story.
Who is the man with the fox mask and how does he know Info-chan? Who is 'Boss' and what kind of drug is he carrying with him? What will all this conflict lead up to?
Those are the 'fanfiction' elements of this story, so you can still look forward to those!
Secondly, we have a new beta reader on board!
Unfortunately, my previous beta reader IvyPrincess has lost contact with me. I have tried multiple times to reach her, but to no success. It's a real shame, as she was a big help in making this story, and she worked very hard to please the readers by removing all the annoying typos that would show up. I am worried that she is no longer communicating with me, but I also have to move on.
Now our new beta reader, Pondfrost, has taken up the job and is doing great so far. A big thanks to her.
Ok, that's all for now.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope this information is useful to you as a reader. I hope you enjoy all future content! :)
