Don't @ me if it turns out bad *shrugs shoulders nonchalantly* it's not my fault you guys have such slight standards and I have interesting methods of writing that just so happen to be 'boring' or something to some people! Eitherway the chapters are probably gonna turn out shorter than what I'd usually write and the writing will also(maybe) be more simplistic as I usually write in 1st person (^ν^)Also if you see some writing in Japanese like in the writer's comments or something no need to feel intimidated I'm not Japanese(わかります わかります、 people who can speak two languages, especially if one includes Japanese, possess power incomprehensible by the common people) but have merely completed two sections of a course on Memrise and am flaunting the hideous lack of vocabulary that I now know(tbh like everyone else the only JapJap I know is from the animu ( ̄∀ ̄)…
