Before I start, I just want to say I'm not a writer and I don't plan to be one. I just did this on my free time and continued since I was enjoying it and so did the few readers that found this fiction. I'm two terms away from graduating, and my course is far from being a writer.

I admit, I continued the fiction since I was getting good feed backs. Who wouldn't want to hear praises? But I probably should have left it like that. I should have left the main characters as badasses instead of continuing to show all their weaknesses and internal conflicts.

I planned on developing the characters as time passed by, and I carefully planned their backgrounds to give them the weaknesses that they should have at the start. They aren't perfect, and each of them will have topics they don't want to remember.

All three of them experienced their own share of sadness and despair, and somehow those will make them understand and help each other. For the first arc, I planned on having Tojo slowly break down after failing to assess a situation correctly, endangering the whole group.

He will slowly change and once his stress reaches its peak, he will have a mental breakdown. Ayame, who could somehow understand what Tojo is feeling, would be able to get him back to his senses and accept what he has. That's the time when he will develop feelings for her.

As you would have guessed, something similar will happen to Ishikawa around the third arc. And as Ayame helps him, her past will start to haunt her. By the time she loses it, there will be two to help her get back on her feet. That's when she will see life in a different perspective. That's when she will truly mature.

I probably should have focused on the action part instead of their development and relationships. I'm not even a psychologist, I shouldn't focus on human behavior and development.

Sorry, I'm the type to easily fold to people. With just one negative review, I'm starting to feel bad. And as someone who won't even take writing seriously, it's better to stop early. Writing isn't for me, I'm better off reading other fictions.

It's not anyone's fault. Even without that review, I would get negative feed backs sooner or later. I would still end up leaving the story unfinished. The fault is on me who started the fiction to begin with despite being a programmer...
