(Discontinued plan to work on a rewrite)
Myron Malcohm Beckles was just an ordinary teenager living a typical 21st-century life-until one fateful day when a car accident changed everything. Instead of darkness, he found himself waking up in a strang...
This isn't a joke like last time on April Fools — I'm being dead serious this time.
Hey everyone, I know it's been a while. I haven't worked on this book in months, and to be completely honest with you — I've been lazy, unmotivated, and distracted. Between focusing more on my DxD book and just dealing with real-life stuff, I've lost a bit of momentum with this one.
The truth is... I'm not satisfied with the way this story has been going. I'm over 20 hours in and almost 50 chapters , and I still haven't even reached the real beginning of the main storyline. It's been bothering me for a while, and I've started thinking — maybe it's time for a fresh start.
So yeah... I've been seriously considering rewriting the entire book.
There are a lot of things I wish I had done differently from the beginning — especially when it comes to character development and pacing. For example, Myron and Aiko's relationship could've had a much stronger buildup. But back then, I was so hyped to finally start writing that I rushed everything just to jump straight into the action. No structure, no pacing — just vibes.
Another thing: I tend to add way too many unnecessary details, especially when using AI to help flesh out paragraphs. That just ends up making things feel bloated and confusing. Lesson learned — less is more.
And... yeah. The whole "Myron kissing Fem Muzan" thing? I have no clue why I wrote that. Looking back on it makes me cringe hard. It just didn't sit right, and I regretted it immediately. Same with trying to make Myron a half-demon — it sounded cool in theory, but didn't really fit the world of Demon Slayer in the end.
Still, I want to say thank you — to every single one of you who's supported this book from the start. All the reads, votes, and comments mean more to me than you know. If I hadn't started this story last year, I wouldn't be here sharing my ideas with all of you now.
As for the possible rewrite — it'll still keep the core of the original story, but with a stronger foundation. More buildup, more character-driven moments, and more natural pacing.

I'm also thinking of reimagining Aiko as a Demon Slayer herself, with a personality very different from the sweet innocent village girl she originally was. I think it'll make her even more compelling.
Also, if I do go forward with the rewrite, I'll be making a few other changes: • David will now use all six forms of Thunder Breathing — Chidori will be removed, since it doesn't really fit the Demon Slayer universe.
Myron's "Black Flash" will also be scrapped for the same reason: it has a cool concept but isn't lore-friendly. Additionally, if he still becomes a demon hybrid, I might make him two overpowered characters just because he's the main one.
