Hey Guys.
First off, No Multiversal Travel.
So yeah, this story is officially ended for this.
I know Majority of you don't like the current ending and are more or less upset. look, I don't blame you. Neither did I. However I want to clarify something.
To be clear, I stopped liking what I was writing from the moment I hit Chapter 33.
I am not ashamed to admit that I made a lot of mistakes in this Fic that most of you may or may not see.
First,the MC's power level is too strong at the start. A consistent problem I've made in all fics I have written but I didn't realise this until I actually strode past the slice of life chapters of writing novels and reactions to said novels.
Everything had zero tension and It made writing a lot more difficult because I had to spend a lot more time thinking about the general direction of the story before I could write anything that satisfied me personally.
I personally dislike writing something that follows the plotline of the original story too closely, and I like changes in the timeline due to butterfly effects. So I improvised as best I could.
I brought U.S.J early, Gave Shigaraki Convictions early, then when I saw the problem of what an actual menacing Shigaraki could pose to Ken's mother and the fact that not writing it would either break immersion or risk taking my story down a grimdark path that it originally wasn't on leading to Tonal whiplash, I killed him off.
Well, mostly because I dislike Shigaraki myself but still.
All In all, the following arcs after this, Sports Festival, Hero killer, and so on and so forth lost a lot of meaning as the MC is already too strong. with Shigaraki gone, All For One will not make any rash moves in a short time and me writing him doing so will subsequently break immersion.
There were slow updates, too much thinking, Tonal whiplash and so on and so forth.
All in all, I had gotten to that point where I just wanted to drop the fic right there and then.
After all, the whole point of writing a fic for me is to write something you feel you would love to read if you weren't the one writing it. Hence me writing this ending.
Why am I explaining all this? To let you guys understand that the system idea is simply My bid to end this.
I don't really plan to make a sequel out of this like crossovers or Multiversal travels. I love reading those, but i can't do that even If I wanted to, not with all the baggage on this one. I would simply destroy the story even more.
I know my own limits and I know I can't make it interesting enough to even entertain myself so I didn't bother doing so. For me it was either I ruin this fanfic eventually with forced writing, or I end it and let it rest as it is.
If you guys hate the ending, I can't blame you, but trust me when I say it would end way worse if I continued. It's not conducive to write something you no longer have any passion for.
That said and done, I have given a rewrite some thought.
By rewrite I mean a complete overhaul of everything in this that currently bugs me. Starting with the power system, and many decisions made along the way, but retaining all the other elements that still make it ... Well, Ken's story.
One of your comments just happened to touch on this as well. I almost laughed when I thought of my fic name yet how little it actually has to do with Gojo's powers.
Honestly you're all right.
This had potential. Just like everything else I've dropped. It's sad to see it end like this due to my mistakes, but it can't be helped.
So ... I'll probably try again.
Maybe rewrite a whole new one before deleting this old one. I might dislike this fic as it is now but if I can fix it, I will. That's all I can currently say.
Tell me what you think.
