You can really ignore this if you want, there's just some random stuff I wanna say. I'm not going to chew anyone out except myself, 'cause that's who I'm annoyed with at the moment. There's a summary at the bottom.

First of all, I want to thank everyone that's read my story so far. I know that's really cheesy and the story itself is really short so far, but I'm an introvert. So, just posting a chapter and seeing how many people read it and also those that respond, it frankly blows me away. Thank you. *bows deeply*

Second, I'm the type of person that takes things as they come. I have almost no plan. Not in my life, not in my writing. In case you haven't noticed it by now. I write whatever comes to me on the spot. That's my style of writing. Others may have a whole plan layed out, and they know exactly what is going to happen in each chapter. Those are the people that have plans for their lives. Kudos to them. But I cannot write like. I litterally can't. I get stuck. My writing goes nowhere. Page one has no words. I lose interest pretty quickly, because if I'm going to do that, I need to have figured out exactly how the world works from the get go, every single little detail. It's too much to try and do at once and it's honestly no fun.

There's another reason why I tend to write on the fly instead. I discover things. I see the world build up in ways I wouldn't have thought of, and I get excited when it slowly fleshes out into something real. The red screens? They didn't exist in my head until right as I wrote them. I mentioned that Karma, a skill I just randomly put down, is way more important to the story line than I ever thought it'd be. Same with the auras. I was like, how is this dungeon going to have light? Don't dungeons kinda glow usually or something? And they just kinda grew from there. Ah'm literally popped up out of nowhere. I was like, let's put an ahklut in, 'cause those things are dang cool. Devin getting a body, okay that one's been around since I wrote her first fight scene. Too much of her character is physical for her not to have a body. But there comes a problem with that. Is it even a dungeon story anymore? Can I call it that?

I enjoy writing like this. You can see it from my flavor text and quotes at the beginning. I's probably my favorite things to write, and I do it all the time. I make up little scenes even when I'm not writing a story. There's a problem with writing like this though, and it becomes increasingly obvious as I go. There are glaring inconsistancies where I'm not keeping things the same as I write because I forget about them, or there's things that I just haven't thought of yet, or things that just don't get added 'cause I am trying to have Dev do everything I really her want her to do all at once. Sequence of events is kinda wobely at the moment. After all, everything I post is a first draft. I apologize for that. It's not nice to you guys. But I get so excited when I write a new chapter that I have to show every one even though it's not perfect. You can tell by my little mistakes in spelling and sentence structure that people find pretty quickly.

Your guys' comments have been inspiring. I read them and am oh they're right, I forgot to add that. Dang it. Or like wow! That's so smart! I never would have thought of that! So, cool. Can I implement that? But then, where will it fit into the story? A lot of the ideas I like, should have come up earlier. But I'm hesitant on changing things, because it usually is something that will change the story from that point on. You guys will get confused. More than that, I'll get confused. I'm already feeling it. I'm reaching my limits as I try to keep track of everything that's happening. It really hurts my head. I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall because my brain just does not work like that. Reminds me of trying to figure out how physics works. I can do the equation, I just have no idea why it works the way it does. This story has been more of a mental exercise than anything I've ever writen, even with all my notes to keep me on track. You should see it, lol. I write these generally on wordpress before I post them on royalroad. There I actually have to code the tables, so I have a huge sheet of just html. It's annoying but I make it work... somehow.

Don't worry. I'm not planning on dropping this story or anything. But it does call for a rewrite sometime in the future. Not right now, because my plot line is still not fleshed out. I just wanted you guys to know that. So, while Dev is really starting to annoy me, and Nattiq... Ah'm not so much actually... I'll keep writing for now because I'm curious how it'll go. Better to have more material to work with during the rewrite anyway. I don't know how long it will be until I actually do it though. (For one thing, she's getting too OP, even though I didn't want her this OP. T-T I keep trying to add limits to her, but she somewhow circumvents it. Why??? Why do you do this to me Dev??? And I start having a harder and harder time figuring out her rewards. I may have to start adding negative skills and stuff. Thank goodness for the excuse of Karma, the great equalizer, I'm so glad it's a thing (Plus a lot of people seem to be having trouble visuallizing the things Dev creates, which is troublesome...))

* - So summary of rant. Thank you for reading. It's a first draft. There are tons of plot holes. Devin annoys me. There'll be a rewrite sometime, but I don't know when. Aaaaand. I'll keep writing all while being overly annoyed at everything in general. That about sums it up. I think that's all I had to say. Who knows I may have more stuff to rant about in the future.

Don't be too mad at me. I really apreciate everyone. Thank you for everything. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Btw, I modeled the tree after a weeping willow, but it could have some other aspects. A sakura tree would be pretty cool, but I'm actually planning on having more massive trees with biomes for each of them. Some of you were wondering just how big the tree was, I have it as just over 300 ft tall, with the branches reaching up and out, it's probably closer to 350ft. As reference, the tallest tree in the world is a redwood tree standing at 379.7 ft tall. (115.7 m). The statue of liberty stands at 305 ft. Haven's tree harbor is a lot wider than a redwood, probably fitting your average four bed room house inside (apx 50ft). Maybe bigger, but it's bell created by the branches is simply massive. From what I know, weeping willows are about as wide as they are tall. Devin made hers maybe three times that. I should have mentioned that the island with the tree isn't directly in the middle of the lake either.
