@MageProfessor_Simon As the submission day draws near, I want to remember you not to overwork yourself into a coma, pretty please. It's the final stretch, you've got this!

ANNOUNCEMENT #1!
          
          Regarding future developments of Crimson Rosario - An SAO Fanfic, Yuuki Konno X OC, there will be significant changes in the way in which I will approach coming back to the work.
          
          Just to put it out there, my entire world STILL revolves around the grace and beauty of our great and esteemed love child from Sword Art Online, Yuuki Konno. I refuse to abandon the story and commit such a disservice to her, the hundreds of hours I spent during my teenage years, and especially to the fans who read my work.
          
          HOWEVER, the writing of future chapters of Crimson Rosario will be very different from what you have all read so far. I have decided to alter the pacing and point of view of the story to an extent that allows me to write it in a more direct, storytelling manner, without padding the chapters with insane amounts of monologue and character expressions.
          
          I recalled that I often find myself coming up with new scenes and ideas faster than I can write the story itself. It got to the point that I started having a stronger passion towards the plot that happens in the UNDERWORLD ARC than I do with the current arc my fanfic is currently on. Which, by the way, IS STILL IN MOTHER'S ROSARIO.
          
          IT'S NOT EVEN FINISHED.
          
          Yeah it drives me NUTS. You all deserve to see my ideas play out in real time, AS I COME UP WITH THEM.
          
          It will be something new, but I promise you the enjoyment of it will be better than it has ever been. (I hope). It will be more like I am retelling the events of Akashi's adventures in the verse to you in my own words, the dramatic moments will have the same flare, but without me showing you the little bits that pad a lot of my chapters.
          
          I hope you all come to accept my decision, and come to love the story just as much as I have coming up with it. I know this might not be what some of you wanted, you hoped I would be back with the same quality and grandeur as the stuff I wrote when I was 14-16... but this is the healthiest option for us now.

What up, it's... not Wednesday, my dudes. Darn, it's Thursday. I knew I should've posted something yesterday.
          
          HI HI HELLO I AM BACK!
          
          GUESS WHAT, I JUST FINISHED MY DIPLOMA AFTER 2.5 YEARS!
          GUESS WHAT, I WON BEST FINAL YEAR PROJECT FOR MY 5TH SEMESTER!
          GUESS WHAT, I AM GETTING BACK INTO WRITING!
          
          LADIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAND GENTLEMAAAAAAAAAAN
          
          THE EGO MANIAC FANFIC AUTHOR BRIMMING WITH PRIDE AND HATE HAS GRACED YOU ALL ONCE MORE!
          
          REJOICE AND GIVE PRAISE!
          
          I would like to start off by first saying THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I AM SO SORRY FOR HAVING YOU ALL WAIT UNTIL I FINISHED THIS STAGE OF MY EDUCATION!
          
          I know that a lot of you might have forgotten about me already (highly likely), but to those who still hoped I would come back and concerned themselves with my happiness and existence, YOU ARE AMAZING! THANK YOUUUUU!!! I DON'T DESERVE YOU ALLLL!
          
          Alright, ahem. Now, for updates.
          
          I have not only finished my diploma, but I'll have everyone know that I am among the TOP STUDENTS of my program, having achieved dean's lists for up to 4 semesters so far and have passed my 5th just a few days ago with flying colours! (Dean's list for semester 5 is yet to be determined) -- (But I think I aced it)
          
          Everyone, your patience was not in vain, I have shown the academic world WHAT I AM REALLY CAPABLE OF! THOUGHT I WAS ALL TALK? SAY LESS, THE WORLD HAS BORNE WITNESS TO MY ASCENSION!
          
          I have learnt A LOT from my time in Uni, my understanding of the English language has grown more in-depth and clearer. Now I can make sense of basic and advanced grammatical theories, complex syntax and semantics, familiarise myself with the evolution of language over time, and widen my perception of the intricacies of literature.
          
          I was inspired and tested. Every second I spent pouring my all into improving my craft has led up to this day. And I got results to show for it!
          
          I am so happy! I can't wait to get back to writing!
          
          However... Ehe. I've got some other stuff to announce.

@ALastSpark I could've sworn I answered this post of yours a few days ago. My bad, but yeah all good on my end here. On my final stretch, gonna make history in July.

ALastSpark

Oi! You doing good m'dude? Remember to take care, 'kay? 

ALastSpark

@MageProfessor_Simon Because he knows that's what you need, duh. For realsies, though. I took my time to binge read the whole story again, and I realized just how much you ruined media for me. Your writing, no, scratch that, *you*, are so terrifyingly *human* that it's unreal. And I know that as long as you keep true to your dreams, ambitions and feelings, you'll blaze a path for others to follow. Keep on keeping on, 'kay? There's no meaningless suffering.

@MageProfessor_Simon Awesome! Don't be a stranger now, alright? Tell us how you're doing from time to time or Akashi will have to go and drag his own creator.

Still waiting on my wattpad buddy to return.

I think your loyal fans would rather have an update on you, rather than the story. You should probably do that then lol.

@BandanaParks I should probably write an update on how my studies are going shouldn't I? Hehe~

          "FUCK BANDAI." ~Simon 2023
          
          SAO Last Recollection (The new AAA game after Lycoris) is written by the same author of Violet Evergarden, Kana Akatsuki-san.
          
          I had hoped that finally I will get a meaningful SAO game with actual depth in both character storytelling and plot, alas it's still an SAO game.
          
          Fanservice, needless exposition, disrespectful takes on existing character's personalities... It's a mess.
          
          I'm confident Akatsuki-san was pushed to write some scenes a certain way, so I can't blame her.
          
          My enemy here is the culture of Japan's modern creative thinkers. They insisted there'd be a push for folly. They're what's holding the progress of evolution back.
          
          This fuels my desire to stop this from happening any further.
          
          As Heaven Descends will be my best symphony, and I'll be sure to give it the respect it deserves. I won't abandon a character just because they're unpopular in the eyes of greedy scum.
          
          What happened to Yuuki will never happen again.

MageProfessor_Simon

@FilosofoOscuro They seem to completely wipe her out of the picture in the gameverse's story despite there being demands. I don't get why they're so reluctant at letting Yuuki into Underworld, she would've been great.
            
            The only thing stopping me from playing the game is the fact that Yuuki isn't there.

            Yuuki is no longer canon in the video game timeline? What happened?
            
            PD: My English is bad, sorry. I take this opportunity to tell you that I really like your book and I hope that you continue when you can. Greetings.
