Honestly The Replies About Skin color Are so Weird to me, The Way that it is causing such a fuss over it with people insisting over and over is Bizarre, The Author Should probably Make A FAQ on the Post and direct people there or Put it clearly on The Intro Otherwise this Type of question will continue to appear.

What? Noticing racism is racist? Was Viola Desmond racist for complaining about white only seats at Roseland Theatre?

Sounds like you lack decent manners and empathy for other minority groups.

The author has chosen to make this a story about an African-American teenager specifically. Everyone, please remember that we respect each otherâs stories and donât demand changes.

I do respect the authors work, I do enjoy it, and because of that I have decided to give my feedback about his work to make it more open to other groups and diverse. If people didnt like it they wouldnt bother commenting on it. I do understand the intention of the author therefore Im not asking to remove it but add more options for diverse people. But if you insist I shall try toning it down.

I will put this in the simplest way I can. You make good points and some rather terrible ones. I chose to make the MC black for a couple of reasons, such as the racism subplot, wanting to explore certain questions about identity, and, most of all, because I wanted to write a black main character.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and what they want, you are, and so am I. I try my best to write what I feel other people will want, and things that I personally would find fun to write. And to put it simply, I am not going to add an option to be white because you find it ânormalâ because being black is abnormal to you. Just because other groups are not the main focus doesnât mean they stop existing or that their issues become mute.
I canât write a story for everyone, maybe people would have liked it better if I wrote a cowboy story, or maybe a royalty story. But I didnât. I wrote a dark urban fantasy story with supernatural elements. If you donât like it, then it isnât for you, and thatâs fine. I canât, and I wonât force you to read it, I can just hope that my writing is seen as fun to people.

I know and acknowledge that sounded abnormal. SO let me clarify that: If I play as a character in fantasy I would take human instead of elf or dwarf or what the vast majority of so called fantasy population as an easy setting or the most common species. If I play as a character in Japan I would play as an Japanese to have a normal playthrough as in no mention or complex consequences dynamics or to put it simply no attention on my race, same with class: Middle class plain and simple, not struggling to survive neither the richest and poweful person in the WIP. What I mean by normal is what the vast majority I can relate to. In US which is a white majority country I would assume to play as the most easist playthrough to be the most common.
But if you do wanna write a story which has racism subplot then it would be beneficial if you do justice to the history of this land by giving an option to play as an indigenous person in America. Thats my suggestion.
I never asked you to change the plot of your story, I enjoyed it with the only thing being that I wanted to voice out was the option for customization and lack of choice on your characters background which you turned into a set-race automatically, the point of choice script game is to choose your own story and background, instead of being set as default by someone else. To make it more relatable to yourself in real life like gender and feel as though your in the story making your own options and choices unlike in a book. What many of my contemparies want is something to relate to, not arguing for the removal of the Black MC but to add or provide more diverse options if thats asking too much.
In all honesty you had good intentions and I admit a racist plot is an interesting one and fun to explore and I never said I dont like it, the entire Plot is Epic! Every character is carefully created perfectly to fit in the story with no feeling of being rushed! Overall great story I give a 9/10 with a bookmark to be alert for any new updates

We have published and unpublished projects that limit player customization for protagonists in the past and present. Authors have a right to tell a story how they want it. Also you claim you enjoy their story but your suggestions are becoming harassments since the Author has clearly said theyâre not changing the MCâs race and now youâre pushing boundaries. Drop the issue.

Iâm interested in your project but Iâm planning on waiting till you get done with the prologue to test it because I enjoy reading these

Might not be the best thing to say technically, but if you are interested in the supernatural elements more than the romance. Then, after Chapter 1 is finished, would be the best time to read in one sitting, since that will be where the player has to deal with all of it and begin their first investigation.

Fair enough, the prologue should be completed soon unless my pc explodes.

Announcement
Hello, itâs me, and I have an announcement to make about the wip as a whole and a few other stuff.
First of all, as many of you have noticed, the writing is very amateur, and the pov and interactivity can use a lot of work. I will say that I am and will work on it as I progress, but this is my first time seriously writing, and an IF for that matter. I will try my best and shoot for the stars. I hope everyone is enjoying it and is having fun.
Secondly, a word about the weird update schedule. I wonât go into too much detail, but my mental health is an up-and-down spiral. Sometimes I feel like I am writing at my peak, and other times I want to hide in a hole and burn everything down. But I wonât give in to the voices. They may make me to come up with new ideas, but I will stay strong and keep writing to the best of my ability.
I have gotten in contact with a therapist, and they have recommended that I distract myself with stuff to get outside of those dark spots. So my writing has slowed down a bit, instead of forcing myself to write through it.
On a happier note, a poll.
Should the final male RO be a femboy or regular stoner asshole.

Poll Results
I just the newest chainsawman chapter, itâs never been more over but lets talk about the polls I did.
lets start with the release cycle poll, basically full chapter releases won, and I guess I will commit to that with chapter 1 and onwards. If I decide to do a Patreon again when I get a new laptop, early access will be people getting each act when I am done writing it.
Itâs a shame I canât do Act-based RO polls to see who is the weakest RO to give them new scenes, but thatâs just life for you.
Now for the male RO poll, femboy won with a total of 48 votes. So they will be a femboy like I promised, but I talked with a fellow writer and they pointed out something interesting.
You will see what becomes of that later, I wonât spoil the reveal here.

To put it simply, my new meds are messing with me and making me feel like shit, so I am unable to write and I am other meds for my poor sleeping habits plus college making life hard. Temporary break til everything is sorted out.
