I'm not usually one to use new chapter updates for author announcements, but I plan on making a few changes with this fic so I figured it would be best to let everyone know. I do plan on continuing this fic and I have about 7 pages of the next chapter completed. Most chapters usually end up being anywhere from 12-14 pages, so that is about 50% of it completed
While writing the upcoming chapter though, I realized I wanted to change the format of the fic from 2nd person POV to 3rd person POV. When I initially started writing this back in 2016, I wanted it to be a collection of drabbles, so I didn't really bother to think about making a whole background for a character. They were just supposed to be this personality interacting with the characters in a context that I created and eventually the fic progressed to the point where I just wanted to develop the character more (hence the birth of Kobayashi lol). I did not want this be to a self-insert fic though, which is why I am not really about the Y/N life. I also think I enjoyed the 2nd person format a lot more before because it felt more personal to read, though I have since realized you can do that just as effectively in third person.
Over the recent years, my writing hasn't changed too much (the side effect of being a chemistry major because we don't have to write anything other than lab reports and research papers). Most likely will keep story details in the past chapters as they are because I do like the direction I took with the story. Do expect the old chapters to be changed in the upcoming days and eventually the latest chapter will be uploaded.
Since I'm making this long note, I will also add that I do have most of the general story figured out. There are specific scenes that I want to add in, but otherwise the fine details are thought up on the spot. As for the timeline, I will be writing the Simon Family Arc/ Inheritance Ceremony Arc in. Not sure about the Arcobaleno arc though. My interest in KHR was at its peak roughly 10 years ago, back in middle school so I'm definitely going to have to revisit that arc lol.
As for reviews people have left, thank you so much for the kind words. Unfortunately, Tsuna x OC fluff will probably not occur in the flashbacks because of one-sided pining. I have also developed an unhealthy love for reading angst about heartbreak (especially when it's unrequited love), so next chapter will probably just be a lot of angst lol. As for Kobayashi becoming a pushover, I really wanted the alternate future version of her to be someone miserable. She will be a spiraling mess because that timeline in itself is just a giant shitfest. And to the anon reviewer who wanted to send fanart. Knowing someone is out there drawing an OC I created, is the sweetest thing ever. I love that people enjoy this character to that degree. I have no idea if the website allows for submission of any sort, but feel free to leave me a pm through the messaging system and we can figure this out.
If you've made it this far, I am so grateful for everyone who has taken the time to read this fic. Thank you to all of you! You're all appreciated 💕
TL;DR: Will be changing story to 3rd person format. Old chapters will be edited and updated in new format and once that is completed, the newest chapter will be posted. Will attempt to update the newest chapter by the next week at latest (11/30).
