Hello CYB3AR! I'm glad you really enjoyed my VN. It's good to hear you like my writing and my characters. I wasn't sure if people were going to enjoy it since I didn't exactly have experience writing before. But I got a lot of help from others and so I managed to write well for the first time. I'm also glad you like my art a lot. As for Hardy dying the way he did, that's part of why I wrote his death like that. Having that false hope makes the gut-punch later in the story sting that much more. You may not like it, but that's what I thought was best for the story. The other part was that I feel like too many characters in non-action stories die because of illness. I feel like if someone close to you died because of reasons like that, you'd still be upset about that but you'd be more willing to accept it because you were given time to process it. It's just a lot more tragic if the death was sudden, like with how Hardy died. Jayden and Ahmed will be featured in future projects, so they will be given further character development, especially Ahmed. I won't spoil anything, but Jayden may or may not be furthering his love life in the near future, hint hint wink wink. Anyways, you should totally make your own VN! They're tough to make and finish, but very rewarding. And it's quite flattering you think I'll become a big name in the future. It's kind of my dream for people I admire to become my equals. But that will take some time. For now, I'm good just working hard on my next project.
