happy thursday everyone! excited to share the past few weeks’ updates with y’all so here they are:

• the ch 3 draft has passed 5k words total! 🥳 that’s about 15% of the way there, as my estimate/goal for ch 3 is 30k. i honestly wish i was progressing faster but i’m STILL job searching (rip to me) and the 2022 burnout is real y’all. regardless, i’m pushing to continue working on this update
• the first bit of ch 3 includes solo scenes with both of our LIs ❣️
• i’m working on adding an “inventory” mechanic in the codex to incorporate trinkets received from different characters—kind of like in hades (though there aren’t any stat buffs—or are there? 🤔)
• personality traits will be locked by the end of chapter 3! i’m excited because that means less coding for me as well as a more deeply developed mc for the readers
• right now i’m working on a scene with at least eight different variations so y’all pray for me

thanks for sticking with me and eotm—i’ll be back soon with more updates!
