Hi!!!!
If you're reading this, I'm gonna assume you find the story at least somewhat entertaining enough to keep checking it out~!
Before you ask… no, I'm not planning on ending it anytime soon!
I just figured that since the gang is heading to Italy, this would be a good point to wrap things up nicely and say that "season 1" is over!
Don't worry, I'm not rushing the story either. There's still a lot of dots left to connect (as you've probably noticed) and plenty more to be revealed. It's a story with multiple angles, but I promise they all tie together.
I also want to say thanks to everyone who's supported me or offered advice on things I missed or messed up. I really appreciate it! It's been roughly a year (I think) since the first chapter, and it's definitely been a wild ride. Having to research and quickly teach myself about different topics to fill in details for multiple characters (Shock and Azure especially T_T) has been one of the biggest challenges!
While I hope to keep writing and getting better at it, I also wanted to bring up a few things.
For anyone that remembers, this story is loosely based on a custom cyberpunk campaign I played. So far, the adventure has (not fully) followed the campaign's story. Which is why I was able to put out so many chapters so quickly. Buttttt I've also added and rewritten scenes to give more context and to pay homage to the memories I had from it.
I like to think that, given their screen time, each character has been shown as much love as possible!
That being said, to keep doing justice to the story and the characters, I think it's best to take a short pause. :(((
Referring to my first author's note… you can probably tell that my style and confidence have changed over the chapters. I'm still figuring out what feels right, and I probably won't settle on a style for a looong time. But after rereading the early chapters, I can definitely see that some things could be polished to better match what I have now.
So, with "season 1" wrapped up, I'm going to take a short break from new chapters to clean up and reword some older ones.
But as a little teaser, I've prepared one more chapter, which I'll upload right after this note! It's the one that hints at how the Cyberpunk 2021 timeline starts to diverge from the 2077 timeline.
Once I finish polishing the older chapters, I'll go back to my regular upload schedule.
Thanks again for reading!! It means a lot :)))
