SPOILERS! but im kinda vague about it. whatever.

this is not an appreciation letter, don't listen to the guy beneath me. I agree with them. but don't listen to them. ahgjfklrjakshdsj

fuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckyoufuckoyufuckyoughfuckyoufkuckjyoufijcug COEM ON. Okay. Fantastic game, first of all. Certainly the best VN I've ever read, though that could be because the other contenders are yet unfinished, but whatever.

Listen to me.

How dare you. The climax, perfect. Wonderful. I had no clue how you could possibly make a battle that could theoretically be finished instantly interesting, but I guess you've made a fool out of me. And then: Timeskip. WHAT. You put me here! You bound my heart by chains of anticipation, praying that Loken's gonna be okay. PRAYING that when they find each other, they'll lovingly embrace, and be able to work through the emotional trauma of all this- AND THE PHYSICAL! Not just Alex's situation, but all of them having to figure out what place they have in this new world.

And all that happened, it's just that I DIDN'T GET TO FUCKIGN SEE IT. You edged me! You blueballed me! My heart is STRUNG. Emotionally, I am on the edge of a cliff, hoping that everything is going to be okay. That the cliff is just a hill, that will slope with cope and I can watch the characters recover while I do as well. NO! I FELL OFF THE CLIFF! everything is okay at sea level, there's fish and stuff, it's cool! IT'S JUST THAT I HIT THE WATER AT TERMINAL VELOCITY. GOD. i need a million more words of fluff. i need the entire cast recovering from the consequences of the final act. i nEED them both working through it, and supporting each other with their love, as they make sense of it all. I crave this. deeply.

god. but thats not the story that Soulcreek is. maybe. Soulcreek has always had phenomenal pacing. It only ever lurched forward with important plot beats, before soon readopting the brisk pace that made it so captivating in the first place. What I want is basically to slow it to a leisurely stroll. Each day a new problem, some way Illayla needs repairing, and discovering, and changing. But never a weight too heavy to lift. They'd help, they'd work, maybe travel around the clans, begining the first steps towards a united Illayla, I don't know. Then every night, they would find comfort in each other's embrace, and know they can take anything the world throws at them. Maybe that's just not what Soulcreek is. It's the fantasy of a desperate fan seeking closure. Maybe it's better as it stands. Such things remaining left to the imagination, it can be as wonderful as we want it to be, in our hearts and minds.

But everyone else got to know, they lived it. They cried, and hugged, and loved, and persevered, and planned, and hoped, and dreamed, and recovered, and built, and-... and got closure. Why shouldn't I? Why can't I?

I'd rather not have to work through it all by myself, you understand.

I spent an hour writing this. That's how good your work was. Fuck you

I'll be honest. I refuse to read anything after the previous update when we lost Ayeon 😭. I refuse to let go of Alex, Loken, Mylo, Takhi(sp?), and especially Byte. Byte was one of the best written characters I've seen in any fictional story, FVN or not. He's funny, innocent, lost, caring, compassionate, etc and he's not even "real!" I refuse to live in a world where the love Loken finally found and understood in Alex is gone. I refuse to read about a pain 😢 especially for someone who doesn't have the ability to properly understand how emotions work, he will have to go through having lost his father, then his lover all in a few days. I can't, and don't want to, read about him learning about the emotion known as loss and heartbreak 💔. I can't read about Mylo losing the only person he thought cared about him, especially after losing Ayeon. I can't know what he feels when he learns what happened, what he does when he learns he's lost the only person who lit that spark, that fire 🔥 is his soul. The only person who had any chance of understanding him and how he thinks, and who doesn't scold him or think he's strange because of how he thinks. Then there's Byte. I just, I loved him as a character. He was written so well, he was like a snarky teenager but without all the nastiness. SoulCreek is one story I really didn't want to end, it was just so well written. Kinda like Remember the Flowers, Home Zomewhere Else, Devil's Gambit, Far Beyond the World, Lyre, Roads yet Traveled, Northern Lights, and Rain Check. All are my favorites, especially Lyre, Northern Lights, & RyT.

I made that mistake already. Actually, the first ever FVN I'd ever read/found was Arches. I don't even remember how I came across itch, or the story itself. As you must know, Arches is about the worst novel any person could read as their first foray into the genre. Not to mention, it doesn't really conform to what most think the genre to be. There's no full on animal based consensual intercourse. The story is very heavily nuanced & extremely well written. It seems to have changed the landscape of FVN's forever for the better. The emotions one goes though while reading it, Rollercoaster doesn't even begin to describe what it does to the reader, and it's all the better for it, imo.
