Katsu! 😎 We’ve reached the end of another story, huh? This—as you probably know—was my first full 3rd person limited project, and I was pretty nervous going into it. 😅 I like to make really introspective works, which is why I consistently use 1st person, but I wanted to develop the surrounding cast in a way that I haven’t until now—which is why I’m super glad to hear that all the intended vibes got across. I tried to model the core trio after a classic JRPG party (Breath of Fire/Final Fantasy), but I also took inspiration from HxH. In a similar way, I want to be able to split the characters up in the future and have stories that can stand on their own without simply living around Felix.
I’ve practiced really hard to make my stories seem cinematic and anime-coded, so that’s a high compliment indeed. 🤩 I don’t think it’s too bad to have some western pop culture and literary influence when writing weeb fics though 😁 I watched Russell Crowe in Gladiator and thought that there was a clear narrative mirror with Felix in some ways there. Anyway, I appreciate you reading as always, and I look forward to the conclusion of the bloodblade saga. 🩸 Best of luck, brother!
