She does get extra hangout stuff as compensation if that helps.

Amber and Noelle both have gift baskets in the current event. Not the same as an actual appearance but it's something.

I am pleased about both of those things.

There's loads of reasons Cyno might not be around given his job.

I've been doing the wine festival too. It's good fun. Lot's of primos up for grabs too.

That's more for me to look forward to then!

I've done a decent amount of the Aranara stuff. I kinda like that it's really sprawling and interlinked honestly, but I do think it's a little too much.

I'm a little disappointed to hear that, but so long as it's still good I'll manage.

Ah yes, the never-ending questline. I'm in the middle of it too.

Nicely done.

Well, big rainforest and big desert... pretty close xD

Perhaps. Spontaneity is not my strong suit.

That's true regarding unreleased locations, I suppose. I guess the difference is that in your situation I just wouldn't write those places at all.

It would still drive me mad. I don't like doing anything out of sequence even outside of writing.

I go crazy if I write out of order. It does not mesh with my brain at all.

This is why I don't write out of chronological order.

Weird. I distinctly remember the story quest section having her there twice before that even happened. Maybe I'm misremembering.

Whatever works.

Didn't she have two story quests and then get a third one added around the same time as Ayato was? Or was that first two the two acts of one story?

If that would make the story clearer, sounds like a smart move.

I mean Ei's stuff. I know typically the story quests aren't huge things but Ei's was like three parts long and a huge deal for the future of the nation.

I mean, Inazuma added more story content way later and the chapters it had weren't short.

I hope so! It's really interesting.

Only time will tell I guess.

Sumeru will probably release similarly then unless it goes full Chasm on us.

Would make sense. Inazuma released in chunks like that too I think.
