"I Finally Got to live my Isekai Dream, But I Reincarnated into a Pet Rock?!"
I'm curious where you'll take this 🤣 since having an MC rock seems fairly limiting, I'm guessing there will be some Rimuru-like events to help Rock-kun be able to communicate with others? (Rimuru being from "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime") I actually do hope you keep Rock-kun as a Rock and don't make him too overpowered. It would be interesting to see how you handle keeping a Rock main character engaging!! :D

Thank you SO MUCH for reading the whole thing!!!! ✨ 🎉 It makes me super happy to know you enjoyed this novel. And gosh yes, the world-building!!! I tried my best to make vibrant visuals a primary writing focus, because if this ever does get the chance to be considered for a manga (the dream!) I wanted to make sure my settings and scenes were suited for a visual adaptation 😆👍
Yesssss, you predicted correctly! (Which not everyone figured out!!!) I was aiming for a story that had twists, but that readers could figure it out for themselves if they picked up the hints 💕 There's a few crumbs in the beginning that were included to be reference details if you read the story through a second time ;) so if you do check out this novel again, be sure to look for those!! I definitely put in a few little moments that will only stand out if you've read it before hehe. (It's not a lot, because I only had so much time to write this and sneak in details, but I wanted to make sure I included some bonuses for second read-throughs!)
Thank you again, and thank you for all the comments 👏👏👏 It really means so much to me!
I actually think an old, ancient wisdom voice is very fitting for Ribbon/Fate-chan. It might not fit her 'human guise' appearance, but it very much fits her other-worldly existence!! As an author, I actually never settled on a voice for her. In my imagination, she spoke in a dream-like multi-voice that was somehow both young and old at the same time 🤣
Jun be like, "I don't know how to handle this otherworldly situation, so I'll do what I do best: be annoying in the most useful way I can!!" 🤣 I have had readers describe Jun as 'annoying, but in a necessary way' and I think this is an accurate description of him as a character. Personally I wish I could have written him less annoying 🤔 but I feel like if I did that, Jun would've ended up as a Generic Self-Insert Everyman MC without much personality. His kind of character archetype is a place where I think I have opportunity to grow as a writer! There's room for me to improve!
I had to include a little bit of angst in here 😉 I think the contrast of this "lowest low" point makes the brighter and triumphant moments have more weight!! (But, okay, real talk: I needed to move along the romance in a relatively short story 🤣❤️ and there's no better way to speed things along than to have a person realize how much they miss someone else!)

For anyone who stops by my novel: thank you so much for reading

Not a stroke 🤣 just a rushed transition on my part. This section is on my Fix List because I need to remove the similarities between the events of Jun ‘getting kicked out of Claire’s hut and stuck on Earth’ compared to ‘leaving Earth to chase after Claire to a different part of the void.’ My feeling is that I need to make this Earth segment either shorter (removing it altogether and finding other ways to get to my next plot point) or longer (giving it more purpose and time for the transitions not to feel repetitive.)
I ended up including lot of ideas for a novel of this length, and the scope of the last arc did become bigger than intended! A bit of a misbalance on my part in terms of time/pacing/foreshadowing. I’d like to make the first & second halves of this story have a smoother transition 👍 I’m glad that it comes across as somewhat planned (and doesn’t feel totally out-of-nowhere.) But I agree that it needs a bit of work-shopping. Maybe I need to hint at some of the larger-scope elements sooner 🤔 or rethink the structure of these ending chapters.
👀 gotta keep things all-ages 😆👍 But it does actually follow the 'first person' trope somewhat! I played around with the idea!
Things end up moving along here soon 👍 :D It is a smaller cast of characters though, just as a choice.
My thought was that Jun has realized Mia has her own life here in Farelle -- and although he likes Mia, Jun knows that taking her to Earth with him will probably cause more problems than it fixes. So I might want to emphasize those points (that I just typed here) rather than making it seem so much like Jun wants to return to Earth only for Claire’s sake 👍
Fair, I can see that 🤔 might cut some of the metaphor exposition in this part so I’m not over-explaining the concept. 👍

...frick I should have had him say that. IT'S SO TRUE 😭
I used to work in the nursing home industry and honestly, I want to say you're wrong, but I can't 🤣
