Hey everyone, I have some important things to say especially near the end of this announcement. I just wanted to say thank you all for the feedback and the needed criticism about the previous chapter. It pointed out a lot of flaws to me that I think need to be addressed:
This is on me for not making this clear, but this story is not just Izuku's story. This story has 2 Main-Protagonists not just one. This is why I spend so much time on Ochaco too. After all she does have One For All so I feel like it's necessary. That said Izuku and the aliens will still be the heart of the story, but I focus on Ochaco as to not lose the My Hero Academia elements and story lines.
That said I do agree that I have had her win too many times! That was due to some poor foresight on my part. I was so focused on Izuku's progress and struggles that I forgot about her struggles. If I had realized sooner, I would have defiantly had Izuku win the Sports Festival and not her. There I said it, Izuku should have won! That's on me. I'll try my best to balance it all out more.
So to be honest, and this is going to sound like a poor excuse, I was not in the right mindset as I was finishing up Ch.40. By the time I was writing up the last action scene (about the time Bakugou's team entered the fray) I was already upset and disappointed by the chapter due to the last-minute changes and it becoming more fillerish than I intended it to. So when I was writing the fight scene and Izuku timed out and surrendered, I only did that so I can just be done with the chapter, post it, and move on. Because I was frustrated and didn't want to deal with it anymore. But that is no longer the case which is what I need to speak to you all about.
Alright here's the IMPORTANT part. Would you guys want me to redo parts of Ch.40? To be direct, I'll only be changing the part where Izuku surrenders at the end to Bakugou and his team.
Why? Well because one reason I originally made this chapter was for Bakugou to learn to cooperate with others, and I thought Ochaco would be the best candidate to show him why. So, I need this chapter to accomplish this now, otherwise a lot of future chapters and arcs are not going to work out the way they need to. So again the results of the chapter will still be the same but Bakugou and his team have to fight a little harder for it.
That said I think I have a way for Ochaco to "technically" lose and hopefully that can somewhat break her winning streak.
BUT I need to know if this is even worth doing. To be honest, I would much rather we move on to bigger and better things. BUT that all depends on you guys! I needed everyone to go to the link below. I am taking a poll asking whether or not I should redo the last parts of Ch.40 or not. Please vote, using the survey I rather not get hundreds of comments saying "Yes" or "No" because I rather not take the time away from writing Ch.41 to count them.
Again go to the link at Survey Monkey to vote. You have until the end of this week, from now to the 27th, to do so. Thank you.
