Author's Commentary #453:
Time to talk about Chapter 453: The music of the tournament.
This chapter's whole purpose is to officially in-story state the themes I've selected for each of the teams and characters. There really isn't more to it than that. I still decided to have some fun with Kisha though. One thing I will note is that this chapter likely will be edited to include more countries and songs in the future. For now, I'm just a little too burned out to add everything in.
From here on out though, it's going to be story beats. Kisha's interviews will continue, but unlike last time, a sinister undertone will be present, especially considering Mifsud's true nature. And speaking of story, burnout really is getting to me. I'm starting to feel like rushing this arc, which might not seem noticeable to some, but let me explain. I brought this on myself for creating so many characters, but with that, there's also the ability to expand the story in new ways. While not every character competing in the 6B tournament will get significant spotlight, there are certain characters who will, and as such, I need to give proper attention to them to ensure they receive proper development for later moments in the story.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
