《The Abyss That Stares》Interlude: Interaction with the story and me, the Author
Advertisement
So this is a question I have that wouldn't quite work for a regular chapter poll. I'm still planning on uploading a chapter today, no need to worry. This was more to get your thoughts on this idea.
Let me get right to it: Would you want an occasional interlude dedicated to just X1's (Or more recently No-name's) growth and statistics? This would include weight, height, physical description, anatomies unlocked, core abilities and what they do, etc. etc. Or would you want to mostly try to figure out his progress through the chapters? I ask this because I don't want to dedicate significant amounts of regular chapter lengths to detail new abilities and builds, or refresh on older information.
The poll will be above! Let me know what you think. And if you're worried, these interludes wouldn't replace regular chapters, they'd just pop up every now and again at points where I feel No-name has made significant progress. If you would like to see these interludes, feel free to comment what you'd like to see in them.
