Chapter 7:
CHRONOL∅G - CNTRL
Yo, it's me, the author (Reserved).
Thank you for spending your time to even read my first web novel.
It might be a bit weird coming from me, but I gotta say – that it sucks.
"Hey! You shouldn't be too hard on yourself", is what some of you might be thinking (or maybe not).
Just so you know, I'm not cussing myself or something like that.
I'm just stating my thought (This sentence somehow made me sound even weirder, but forget it.).
Before even posting the first chapter of this WN, I'd already prepared myself for the cringe.
It kinda doesn't worked out really well – I'm still cringing, especially at the 5th chapter.
But oh well, a beginner's work is still a beginner's work.
But the work doesn't represent the author's future state.
What I'm trying to say is – to feel the success, you gotta understand the hardship.
Oh wow... motivational~ *clap clap clap*
But for real though, I want to thank whoever's reading this right now, to even come this far (unless you're skipping some chapters – even worse, outright skipping into this afterwords).
Well, now that, that's out of the way. Let's discuss some exciting things.
# # # # #
HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS STORY?
1. Random idea popped up
2. Jotted down random idea in Lite Writer (less than 50 words)
3. Named important characters (in this case, just 2)
4. Set the main genre (was supposed to be a romantic sci-fi, but somehow changed into a semi-psychological story)
5. Went head first into writing the first chapter
6. Um... just continue?... somehow...
Additionally : Do the art cover – which turned out semi-suck (it full of blanks – even Assassination Classroom cover looked better)
Note to self for next time (that is, if I want to make another WN) :
1. Need to set more settings (like the theme, places, characters personality and way, way more)
2. Need to be better at that "Show, Not Tell" thingy
3. Don't pre-format the story (bad, bad, bad idea – this is why chapter 1 to 5 looks super funky)
4. Stop writing way too fast (the reason I could even finish 6 chapter in less than a week was because of sembreak)
5. Take a freaking break-time (this WN ain't going anywhere – but maybe because I'm too excited for my first writing)
6. Stop playing "my next WN" fantasy inside my head while listening to Japanese Vocaloid music (seriously, my feet hurts just from walking around in a circle inside my room)
Well, I guess that's that.
If any of you are inspired by my WN (hell no) to write a WN yourself for the first time you can just see the above.
It's crap, but it's better than nothing.

ADDITIONAL USELESS INFORMATION (might be a spoiler)
"WHY IS IT CALLED CHRONOL∅G?"
I thought of making this into a 'compiled series' (I don't know what it's called – I just called it this) where 'CHRONOL∅G' is just some random cool word I thought would fit the theme of 'compilation'.
If you don't understand what I meant by this, then take a look at Fate series (I don't watch Fate) or even Monogatari (I dropped after Owarimonogatari – a shame).
The watch order roadmap for these are crazy.
Basically, that's what I want to do (I don't know if I can even do this – bruh)
And make sure that every compilation become their own standalone story – with some hint towards other CHRONOL∅G story.
But you know, this is just some dream, so I don't really wanna get my hope to high (I prioritized real world)
"BRO THIS STORY SUCKS!!!"
I know, i know, thank you.
But really, I actually planned on making this into a 2 chapter short story, but somehow, using less than 2000 words per chapter plus the medium story paced – doesn't matched up at all.
That's why if this story sometime got too fast or too slow, it's because of this terrible pacing (I should've listen to my past-self about making a draft plot first).
Also, I don't know if you noticed (which is impossible not to notice), but my writing format/style changes each chapter. This is because I still haven't grasp a comfortable writing style for myself yet.
So~ Sorry if your eyes somehow got gauge out just by reading this messy WN.

Oh wow... if you're still reading till here, then, damn... (you're a masochist)
(Of course, that's a joke)
You're better than those who just skip to the bottom of this afterword and called it a day (not gonna lie, I do this too)
Anyway, that's all from me, don't wanna waste any more of your precious time now.
Go read a better WN and LN or something.
Maybe even better, don't be procrastinator like me.
