《Rain Sabbath》Stop. Drop. Rewrite: An Announcement.
Advertisement
This isn't so much of a chapter, rather than a realization.
I have little patience for bullshit, so let me keep this as candid as humanely possible.
Rain Sabbath is the strange, almost cozy story of a witch in training (but not really), a witch (but also not really), and a seemingly ordinary boy (well I think that one was pretty obviously in the not not really category). As of writing this, I am up to chapter 27 out of approximately 35 in drafting.
I've run into the problem many meet in doing their first drafts: the story didn't turn out quite expected, especially since I forgot to look back. My original intent was to write something closer to dark fantasy and psychological horror, but it ended up... a little more fuzzy and lower stakes than I wished to. Shit's basically just a cozy mystery with little horror, unless you call minor existentialism a horror.
And thus, after agonizing for a few nights (and agonizing the sales of my actual actual book: Weave Point Null: Empyrean Phantasm (go buy it pls(it has monster girls and illustrations of them))), I've decided to completely restructure this story going into a rewrite. It'll take a lot of work, but I'm thinking something with much much higher stakes from the getgo.
But that's for draft #2. Right now, you're facing down draft #1. It may be a slightly self-fulfilling prophecy as you're only here because you read it, but I'm wondering if I should force myself to finish this current storyline to its conclusion. It might take upwards of another month before that vaunted chapter every day dump, but I'm starting to have some serious doubts about if I should actually finish this or concentrate on my other writing projects. While I'm not entirely satisfied with the end product here, I wouldn't mind some second opinions. As, like, I've barely gotten any of those thus far.

The reason I'm making this post is that with what I have in mind, draft #2 with be a fundamentally different story than what's here. Characters may stay the same, but the story is going in an entirely different direction this time. I also may have been on a Higurashi binge. Just FYI.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments, as I genuinely would like some guidance — now, more than ever.

A Long Refrain
September, in the Continuate: For most students living in the Third Division, the month's arrival usually means the start of a new school year. But not so for one particular freshman, whose first month at college seems to never end—literally. Set during the 20th year of the nation's Rectification Era, A Long Refrain follows Melody Quick’s attempts to escape from the month-long time loop she's found herself trapped in. Her journey, which starts in the capital city of Somnhaven, will take her across the vast expanse of land once known as Circadia, whose forgotten histories, ancient secrets and eccentric inhabitants could hold the key to discovering the true nature of the loop and the role she herself plays within it. However, the more she learns, the more cruel truths she must face: Will she really be able to handle the awful reality behind the loop, and all that it entails? And will those very same answers she's found be enough to not only break her free from the loop, but to also protect the people she holds dear? (A-and from what, exactly ...?)

Forgive me, I didn't mean to take that!
Murong Yingyue is the heiress to a famous cultivator clan. Except that’s she’s really not, and just a stand-in for the real heiress, who had been sickly since she was born. And she’s not really even herself. A transmigrator from Earth had transmigrated into the body of a female demoness, inheriting her memories. The transmigrator had then later died, transmigrating into her infant body! Ah, Why is it so convoluted? She grew up with those memories, and when she was finally sufficiently strong enough to travel the world safely, she eagerly embraced a leisurely life. When I was a demoness, I didn't know how to live without constantly being on guard and having to calculate every move I make. When I was on Earth, I didn't know a life without romantic drama and jealous women! I'll enjoy these two things you have missed, then! I'll do whatever I want and avoid troublesome people. So... How the f*ck did I get into this stupid cliche storyline? And as the main character, too? I don't want to be the main character! They attract so many senseless cannon fodders and powerful enemies, and furthermore, don't they attract romantic interests like it's no one's business? Someone help me! This will read better if you are familiar with wuxia novels. Discontinued. Apologies to all who liked the story. I feel that my writing style has changed since I last wrote for this story, so I tried to get myself to rewrite the story but I couldn't find any motivation to do so. I also lost the outline I had for this story and don't really remember what direction it was going in, so I want to leave the story as is. Thank you to the people who read and favorited this.
