《Psychic x Fantasy》Update Log

Current update:
7/4: everything is going well, but I've decided not to post anything for a while while I polish my story a little. World of Fantasy is having troubles with pacing and characters, as usual, and World of Psychics is getting too far ahead, and I haven't sat on basically any of the stuff I've written , even if I had plenty of time to think about it beforehand. I also want to make more side stories(flashbacks), as there is a lot to be said about the characters that should have been said at this point. There is also the matter of the Marionettes, who I wanted to have a side story on to explain what happened to them.
With all of this in mind, it may be another week or more before I can post another chapter. I just need to catch up with my own pace, as usual.
Previous posts:
My biggest worry is the first chapter: I have yet to revise it in full, and it is imperative that I make it better and shorter, if possible.
4/5: I edited the synopsis. I've done a lot to edit the first chapter, but it takes a lot of discretion to figure out what needs to be cut and changed. Here are the few ret-cons from the first part:
1: Removed the explanation for why Psychi carries a basket.
2: Noted that psychics all have a 'critical difference' in the way they think. This was already alluded to with Psychi's love for plants, but I'm expanding the concept because it has a notable impact on the context behind the characters.
3: The goose no longer flies up to Psychi: this was pointless filler, even if it was symbolic of how Psychi's power drove people away from her.
4: Lyla, the lunch lady, is now a worker at a hot-dog stand. The scene is shorter and Psychi flies to the stand to get her lunch every day.

5: Messa is no longer referred to by Parkarka, and their name is replaced by Jana. Just cleaning some things up.
6: Psychi no longer talks about jet streams and the practicality of flying in space. That stuff will probably be mentioned later but isn't needed in the first chapters.
7: Psychi’s barrier no longer flickers a light when she gets surprised. This didn't quite make sense, so I just got rid of it.
8: Cut out much of Psychi’s ‘oh no can I be good?’ spiel. In a vacuum, the stuff was ok, but in practice...I kinda hit y'all upside the head with it.
9: Cut out random stuff that didn’t have enough purpose for the sake of readability.
10: I cut out the fact that Psychi only got her prophetic dreams once she was 13. It is still cannon, though, and will come into play later.
That's everything. If you actually bothered to look through the list, you'd realize that these are very minor. Most of what I set up isn't so utterly pointless that I need to cut it out entirely, but some of it wasn't suited for the first chapter. Most of the things I edited out weren't ret-conned and will be brought up later.
4/15: My progress might be slow, but I really have begun writing once more. Just a reminder, in case someone thought I was still busy with other stories.
4/25: No progress since last post. I had to write 3 essays in one week, and I'm not even finished with the third yet. Also, I still need to write 2 more, possibly by May 9th. Because I guess we need to make everything more difficult at the end, huh?
5/2: So...yeah. Not doing the write-a-thon because English Composition is evil and doesn't want me to have free time. I'm still working on chapters, and perhaps sometime I'll finally get the luxury of continuing the story at a fast pace but...not happenen' till school is done with.

5/19: I'm not great at really focusing on stuff, you know? Dopamine addiction is annoying, particularly because my favorite things to do are video games, so even if I 'got off' dopamine(which may happen frequently, I really don't know all that much about it) the only way I know of to not relapse would be to...not have fun, I guess? Maybe I'll do some research in the future, but for now, I'll just try this approach, hope it works. I'm gonna focus on this. You got this, Gavin.
Also, for clarity's sake, I added a spoiler tag to irrelevant info. I don't just delete the stuff because these update pages are basically my diary, lol.
Cont.: Since I'm really low on motivation for this story, I'll be reading the whole thing over again. I'll probably skip the first chapter tho, since I already edited that last month. Also, the Spoiler button hates me so I removed it.

Era: Dawn of the New Gods
Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my collegues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. *It is a sort of reverse RPG as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilites. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beatiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters(some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items. *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character.

8 90The Man With RPG
Just a guy minding his own business but then tragedy struck. Sent back in time thirteen years in the past, he relived his school days not without a partner in crime. A system in his head, he thought he was crazy but it was real, but a bigger surprise waited for him. The past didn't seem like the past that he knew. A past with heroes and villains running around in the world with each day world-ending events kept on happening. What should he do? Turn into a hero or be the bad guy? Better yet should he be just a bystander and mind his own damn business? Well, we'll see.
