Thank you, I appreciate it! There will also be opportunities for Peterson to be on the receiving end of things as well. Since he's a little cocky (arrogant? overly confident?) someone has to keep him in line. 😁 I'm hoping to introduce some character growth as well, but hey, we're not even two weeks into the contest, so there will be plenty of time for that. Thanks for reading!😀😀
Never a dull moment in paradise, is there? 😅 I had to laugh out loud at the "Any friends?" comment Minerva made last chapter, that was well written. Looking forward to the next chapter. 👍👍
Thanks, I appreciate it! The cover was a blast to create (and the back cover and spine as well 😆😆). Canva makes it a lot easier to design those things, I highly recommend it. Thanks for reading! 😀😀

Hey, I'm glad you're liking it! It was a blast to create the character of Minori, even more fun to make up the dialogue. 😄😄I'll be introducing more characters shortly. Thanks for reading! 😀😀👍

I think these prologues are the equivalent of a "teaser trailer" in Hollywood. Yours convinced me to see what's next. I'm looking forward to the next chapter!😀
Yes, Aiko will figure prominently in the story ahead! It was a lot of fun building her character, too. Thank you for the compliments, and I hope to keep you smiling in the chapters coming up as well! 😀😀
I have to say, this isn't the type of story I usually read. But your writing is so good and the story so interesting I couldn't stop to comment until this chapter. 😀😀 Good luck in the contest, I think you have a winner here! 👍👍
Thank you! I'll be posting the next chapter tomorrow, so you can see what happened to Peterson at the end of Chapter 1. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.😄😄

That was based on an actual event, too! According to an instructor I know (who witnessed the incident), the paratrooper in question smacked into a tree instead of a grav-carrier. I don't think he came across any cute Japanese astronauts afterwards, though. 😀😀 Thanks for reading!

Thank you! I love "verisimilitude" and try to incorporate it into all my writing (although I can get whiplash trying to pronounce it 😅😅 ). For this novel, I did a ton of research into an odd assortment of topics: the 1980's, Japanese military, even wheelchair basketball (you'll see why later!). Thanks for reading! 😀😀
Looks like you're off to a good start! 👍👍I think I feel some 'old school' cyberpunk vibe, where the main character doesn't care about collateral damage. At least Fordham didn't suffer much -- right? 🤔🤔

Thanks, I really appreciate it! Some of the comments you previously made (on "The Dungeon Party") helped improve my writing. For example, you and the other commenters agreed that the characters needed more work, and you were right. I took the advice to heart and spent more time on the characters this time around. I hope the effort shows, but please feel free to point out any mistakes (that goes for anyone else reading as well). Thanks for reading! 😀😀

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment! It's a little nerve-wracking to publish a new novel, especially for a contest. Still debating a bonus beach chapter. 😎😎 (Just kidding!) 😀😀
Hey, thanks, Momentie! It's good to hear from you again! I also uploaded a back cover and spine for this novel. Full-frontal nerdery (sorry, couldn't help it. 😜) Are you going to participate in the contest? "The Girl He Used to Know" was pretty good. 👍👍

Hey, EliteWarrior910, good to see you again! I gave you and Momentie a quick shoutout over on the Chapter 12 comments, too. Thanks for dropping by! 😀😀
