1-1 Thoughts

This is a blog post talking about 1-1 (Arc 1’s Chapter 1), if you haven’t read it yet, do so here If you want to give criticisms for this section of the story, you will be able to post in the comments here!

This chapter is pretty slow. It’s mostly meant to introduce the two main characters and elaborate on what in happening/has happened in the world. A lot of this first arc is going to be playing catch up like that. I almost want to call this entire arc the prologue arc, and merge it with the first two chapters, but I feel like what would eventually be like a 10+ chapter prologue arc might turn off some people. The point of the prologue arc is to have a very short introduction on what I’m going to be focusing on in the this series.

Now, the other thing I’m going to talk about is the purpose of Isaac’s amnesia. Despite being the protagonist of the story, I know Isaac is likely going to end up being one of the more boring characters, especially when you compare him to some of the later side characters and villains. The point of him having amnesia is to make him a temporary Everyman character, and when he gets his memories back (which won’t be at like, the final arc of the story or anything, so don’t worry) he’ll become a more multifaceted character. That is to say that his original role as “Person with less information that I can give natural exposition to” won’t fade, but that information in the future will likely only be held by specific characters, because I don’t want to make him look like an idiot.

Basically, the story is about a lot more than “Generic white boy twink wants to get his (probably boring) memories back.”
