So yeah i guess you could call this a failure, though i would say it's my first step at creating something i really want to be proud of. It was deeply rough and if there is a soul out there who wants to rip this apart to give me their harshest advice and critique please do.
Sorry if your next words were "give up" or "you suck.. don't even bother" because I loved this experience. I just realized what..120k words and 50 chapters that I wasn't doing this the right way.
I will proudly say that none if it was with the use of AI. Though honestly these days, fanfictions are exempt from my full distaste. These are already borrowed stories so using something external to writing it isn't that horrible. In my next work I won't use it regardless, because it doesn't feel like my work and ultimately the closure I need from my once beloved series.
Yes my attempt here was to give dragon ball it's much needed end in my heart. After i finished reading dragon ball i realized that I'm clinging on to series that is no longer fully the thing i once loved. Don't get me wrong I've been following and eating it up like everyone else, but I've recognized that a story without an end is just degrades what it was great for. After daima and Akira Toriyama's passing i just want it all to come to an end even if that means my childhood characters just fly off into the distance never to be seen again.
Yeah it's for kids, but let's let the kids who grew up well after dragon ball enjoy what they grew up and create a new world without dragon ball. Does that make sense..?
Anyway I'll be working on the proper version of this story. And when i have the amount of story equivalent to what i did here I'll stsrt like uploading those chapters and begin anew from chapter 1 again. I loved some of the characters and ideas i thought of so those like Zukki, Negi, Budo, and my two nameless protagonist will return.
For anyone who genuinely followed along I thank you and I'm sorry for this abrupt ending, but sometimes that's how things end. They sudden disappear before you realized how much you appreciate them so hold on while you can and don't be afraid to let go. Because letting go is probably the best way of being appreciative of love.
Sincerely, FrozenYamcha (guess that's my pen name..).
P.S. we're thawing out.
