Notes, Disclaimers, Symbols, etc (Update)
Since I took 3 months for a Creative Writing class, I found out that my story needs to be upgraded/I am going to edit and revise my story to spice things up (probably?). And I will not be making/posting any new chapters until I finish all edits, revisions, and research from my old chapters.
Plus, I will be posting all of my old versions of these chapters in a new book. It is for my own reference in how much I have improved on my own writing, but readers do not have to read the new book until chapter 13, excluding the "not a chapter" ones would be 11 in total. In chapter 14, I will post manga, others reads, YouTube Videos, etc, that I (and others will, maybe (?)) find interesting when bored and so on.
If people don't like that idea, then I will just stop at chapter 13 for the old version. Thank you for reading my book when it is so mediocre.
Disclaimer: Any name, places, movies, cars, etc, used in this novel are fictional, coincidental, mostly name generated, references and/or reused. Plus, think of this novel universe as an alternative Earth. Major places are kept the same, though there are (slight?/lots of) changes here and there.
---------------
[ ] - means for the current chapter/book/author's notes (A/N) will be near the end of the chapter.
// [[ ]] - means for a special chapter(s)/another book for specific and certain characters.
[( )] - any number with an alphabet letter, e.g., 10Z, would mean: describing a character's side story, backstory, flashbacks, etc. The letter is from the character's first letter of their name, unless there are characters with the same name, then it would explain where and which character is being talked about. For example, 10Z, Ch. 3. And blah, blah, blah.
[[( )]] - means it will have a combination of the two symbols above. //
( ) - will be in a different language, e.g. : I think I'm in love with video games (French). I'm using google translate for this part and it will be at the bottom of the chapter for A/N. If any native speakers would kindly help me with this part as I love to learn different cultures and languages.
(( )) - Info dumps and will be place in the auxiliary chapters/volumes.
--- (3 dashes) : means a short pause/time skip for about 1 day or less.
----- (5 dashes) : means a moderate pause/time skip for about 1 month or less.
------- (7 dashes) : means a long pause/time skip for about 1 year or less.
--------- (9 dashes) : means a really (, really, really) long pause/time skip for about 3 years or more.
// Italics - Like so: Hello. And it would be internal thoughts and monologue directly in a sentence, e.g: Oh, my gosh! Is that Jonathon?!
Other times, the italics would be names of books, novels, video games, etc: Tales of Neverland. //
(*) - just the star symbol would mean: smut-ish content/ 18+. For me, it will be half of the smut scene. Full version will probably be in a different book.
Well the ones with // above are scrapped as I reread my book and I won't be using since it might be too distracting for some people. I seem to have forgotten about Webnovel's system as they can't have italics, so I will be adding (' ') as internal thoughts. While titles of books etc, I will look into that.
