Description And here we go, another chapter. Kineto finally shuts up.

Sorry it took me so long to come out with this, MC. Finals are upcoming and I've been putting most of my effort into studying. But all the same, I'm really enjoying writing this, and I'm going to try to finish it when I can. Will create two more chapters (or three, depending).

I'm not sure what Mal's role is, so I apologize if I got it wrong. I wanted to include another random voltite in this chapter. If you want him to have a different "job" I can rewrite that bit. As for Lumina and Ryu, I guess you could say I'm a shipper, haha. Crowsena and Benjali aren't canon names, but MC was okay with me including them so I did that with this chapter.

"Frack" is a reference to Battlestar Galactica. Characters in that show say that instead of the f-word. As for "let me out" I referenced Eric Andre screaming let me in, lol.

Omg, I'm crying at the Lumina and Ryu moments. They're so cute!  
  “Don’t worry,” he murmured. “I’ll protect you.”    

I really don't mind that I have to wait for parts. I'm a college student too and know what that life is like. I also want you to be happy in your creative process and not make yourself feel miserable because of obligations.

Glad you liked it. Those moments were fun for me to write.

Thank you for caring. Writing a short story like this really isn't that taxing, though.

I feel like I'm never all that good at writing romance. What goes through your head when you do it?

No problem! I just want to make sure you've taking care of yourself.

I guess I try to think of what appeals most to me/what I'd want to see if two characters were in a relationship. If you've seen the ship dynamic meme then that's an example of it.

i.e.: character who hasn't gotten much love + shy character = lots of fluff, care, and support

Thanks again. It means a lot.

I guess my problem is that I don't like spending too long on romantic scenes because I'm afraid I'm distracting from the primary narrative. I guess I have to learn that it's important to take narrative breaks for character development.

No problem!

I  do have one comment in reference to your description tho. Mal is actually the first arc's villain, so that's why you haven't seen him in comic yet. XD

That's actually a good point. Romance should not be the core focus of a story unless it's integrated deeply with the plot. It is also good to allow your characters to relax a bit. Write filler chapters where they are having fun instead of being in distress 24/7.

(Not saying you write them like that, just saying bc that's my approach with Inner Demons/some of my other works)

Ah, I see. Had no idea he was meant to be a villain! Maybe he could work with Kineto, haha

I liked the humanizations you did for them btw. Kat and the gang had this gimmick where they could switch from being animal people to anthros- makes me want to draw those dorks again.

You summed it up well.

Haha, I can imagine Mal being Kineto's younger assistant. I might include some drawings with future chapters and in that case, I will definitely draw it. That's a really cute concept. Reminds me of the Sisters Grimm a bit (which is a book series I got into again).

If you want to change Kin's design so it matches the characters better, that's fine with me. Making him a middle-aged out-of-shape man is pretty jarring compared to the other characters.

(I imagined something along the lines of how they would work with one another, check your discord).
Thanks for the book recommendation, but i have a lot on my list already. 

I think it's fine. Adult Voltians exist, we just haven't seen them in-comic yet.

Ye, I saw it on twitter too

That's fine. I actually have a ton of books I have to read too. Lately I've been like "wow i have to read so much stuff, let me pick up Stephen King's IT because I liked the remake"

Oh, that's neat. Would Benja count as an adult? Or is she a teenager?
