Arc 2 Reflection.

Hello everyone!

Before we get into this reflection, does anyone have any idea why my novel isn't updating? I post a new chapter, but then it won't update I'm my library?

Anyway, this is a double release, so please be sure to read chapter 61- SOMETHING ENDS, SOMETHING BEGINS before reading this Reflection.

The purpose of this "Chapter" is so that we can all reflect on how this arc was.

I am going to start by stating some things that I feel like I did well, and then some things that I feel like I could improve on.

I would also like for you all to do the same.

I've got to say, I really enjoyed writing Arc 2. I feel like I did a good job with the fight scenes, and the interactions with most of the characters. I also feel like I set up future story Arc really well, especially with Emi.

I also feel like I did a good job of building up Godrick and Jeannes relationship.

Please tell me if you feel the same.

Now onto some self criticisms.

I feel like I could have planned the whole Arc better.

I feel I really dropped the ball with Godrick letting Caster go, because as some of you correctly criticized, Godrick wouldn't have made that mistake.

He is a battle hardened killer, who wouldn't let a threat like her just walk away.

I feel like if I had written a physical outline of events, I could have written the story differently from how it turned out at that moment.

Another thing I feel like I could have done better is building up the villains.

One I feel like I really missed out on is Kirei. Again, as some of you pointed out, the way he reacted at his death was contrary to how he was in cannon.

I should have written more view points earlier in the Arc from him, as well as from Shinji, to really build them up, so their fall would have been sweeter.

I really wanted to write Kirei as projecting an extremely calm and uncaring persona on the outside, but being completely unstable on the inside. Snapping the second one of his many plans deviated slightly from their course.

I also feel like I cheapened just how strong EA was, but I was already committed to his using it in this story Arc.

Another thing that's more minor, is I could have had Godrick be the one to kill rider, and not just gloss over her death with a single sentence XD

But again, that goes back to one of my original points of having an outline of the Arc, so I don't make these mistakes again.

That being said, I'm committing to you all that I will write an outline of how I want this new Arc to go.

I'm extremely excited about this new Arc, as it's something completely new that I writing. I'm not adapting any anime or anything like that to fit my story. This will be a completely new story that I'm creating with this Arc. I hope you are all OK with that :)

I would love to know your thoughts on everything!

Please leave me a review of this novel if you haven't, telling me what you have enjoyed and haven't enjoyed about it so far.

Please leave your criticisms on this chapter as well!

I'll be starting to roll out rewrite chapters of the Prologue once I'm done writing my outline, as well as writing the first chapter of the next Arc!

I APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!
