Alright. Chapter 10. Kota's way too blunt (and stupid) to leave the anything in the dark for me to reasonable hold off on (Y/n)'s identity until "Icarus". So, chapter 10. You guys get to find out what (Y/n) is. I might build your theories before it gets released. It's more fun that way. I'm going to release the rewrite of "Insatiable" first (20 more chapters) which might help your guesses. I estimate May 13th-ish at 2pm. I'll update when the rewrite of "Insatiable" is finished.
          
          Also, a warning to those who are following along with the series. Everything that came before "Storm In A Teacup" is tame in comparison. This book is violent and nightmarish and Kota is unforgiving. He's constantly on the offensive. It's finally getting to the real horror. (On a related note, I have never had such an easy time planning out a character's death).
          
          As a hint to my mystery hunter readers, the scrapbook-looking pictures at the beginning of each chapter are not just for show. I might take a moment to glance over them. That's all.

Hey can you write a book about an apocalyptic world I’ve been looking for one for ages and I love all your books I’ve read every single one lots of love xxx

Has anyone figured out what Kota is, by the way? I mean, I know I teased it a little bit in Storm in a Teacup already, but based on the (Kota-inspired) cover of the headcanons right now, any guesses?

I am 5/8 of the way done with the Insatiable rewrite. I've added in a lot more backstory, smoother character progression, and clearer character traits. Also, I've adjusted the tone to be more reasonable. I cut out unnecessary filler and replaced it with more fun/less cliché scenes. Plus, there are toooons of hints for those of you sifting through the mystery (my favorite part). Also, as always, Haru is frickin' hilarious to me.

          On a separate note, so many people have been asking me for a voice claim and I have been working on it. I can for sure tell you a few of the characters, but some elude me, so if you have a good idea for one of the characters you know thus far, please feel free to give me some ideas (I prefer Japanese voice actors/singers, but I also recognize characters have accents like Akari and others [somewhere between Italian, French, and Sumerian], Haru [somewhere between French and Portuguese], Ryota [a creole accent somewhere between a Chinese language (probably Black Miao)/South Korean (for Umayena) and Japanese (for Athain)], Hotaka [somewhere between Kannada and Japanese - an assimilated accent formation], and ??? [just straight up Columbian <3). So, suggestions are appreciated.

          (I'm a Linguist, by the way, so I can and will get really in depth about the languages/culture in my stories as you will see with ???, who - I will tell you right now - is from Pasnad. My majors are Applied Linguistics and Japanese, my minors are English and Comparative Literature and TESL/TEFL (Teaching English as a second/foreign language). Right now, I'm trilingual, but I'm on a fast-track to become a polyglot (next up is Mandarin then some Arabic language, maybe more). I also have dual citizenship in Italy and America. There's a bunch more to it, but that's a tiny résumé that would explain my obsession with the cultures of my world.)

can i request a silly oneshot of all the yanderes? i lowkey miss those goobers plus I LOVE THE NEW COVERS THEY'RE SO PRETTY!!

!!! I just noticed the changes in PC and IH's' covers! It's so pretty :0

I DID THE MATH YOUR FIRST BOOK HAS 77K READS AND 77 CHAPTERS THIS MEANS EACH CHAPTER HAS 8 READERS >:D 

Author are you a mommmy

I don't usually talk about myself (it's about the stories, not me), but I was rolling over laughing during the ongoing process of rewriting Insatiable because of something I wrote about Haru and his mother.
          
          On a related note, what do you guys think my major/s is/are? You can also throw in a guess about my minor. I wonder if it will be unexpected or not.

Alright, alright. You guys might be mad at me since I previously said that Kota was going to be genderfluid. 
          
          However, the more I write about him (I'll use he/him pronouns until I figure this out), the more I get confused and lost. There are so many subsections to what he is that I don't feel confident confining him to any at all. I wanted to write "A Storm In a Teacup" to explore this in more detail as his sub-plot, but he is more than his gender/sexuality. In fact, those things are a backburner to his even more complicated identity (that you guys will discover later). 
          
          The way the book's plot is currently planned to go, it is centered around (Y/n)'s past. Takuya aligns/juxtaposes with her sexual harassment/abuse whereas Kota aligns/juxtaposes with her parentification. Along with that, Kota has a super important role that will eat up his "screen-time". So, the space I'll have left to explore Kota's identity might not be a lot (though it's definitely an interesting thing I want to explore even in passing).
          
          So, moral of the story is this: I don't know Kota's gender identity and - because of some plot-related factors - he definitely doesn't know either. So, I'm sorry for any confusion, but if you read along in his book, let's explore who he is together.
