Hello, my tearstones!
Long time no see—properly.
I hope you're not thinking I've abandoned System Tearstone while this new baby appeared out of nowhere. The truth is, I was writing this during my off days from V2, before I paused it to focus. Most of my energy is eaten by reality or by the V2 these days.
But I wanted to show you something different. A new world. A new voice.
This story is totally new, with its own setting. If something feels a bit rough around the edges—please see it as a first draft. It might not be as big or as deep as System Tearstone (or my other book), but if you comment and tell me what works and what doesn't, and if you'd like a deeper version… then I'll extend it.
Don't forget to knock me for updates if you want more. And I hope you can wait for this story, just as you waited for System Tearstone.
(New readers are also very welcome!)
I'll say it again and again, even if I sound like a crazy danmei fan with too-big dreams:
I want to step out of this screen.
I want my characters—these pieces of me, these children of my heart—to have their own voices, their own faces. Not references. Not echoes. Their own.
Just like MXTX had. Just like others had.
It might take time. I'm still new. Still learning. Still stumbling, just like Wèi Yīlíng stumbles through his new legs.
But I'll make it anyway.
You don't know how many weird, fantasy-logic ideas come into my head. I'd write them all down if I had the time. But I don't. Not yet.
Anyway—no more blabbering from me!
Enjoy the stubborn-but-gentle x arrogantly-stubborn pair.
Love you all!! 💗
