Fun Facts About Me (Author Version)
I write stories for fun, then suffer emotionally because of them. I create characters just to ruin their lives later. I say "this will be a short story" and end up with hundred chapters. I overthink plot holes like it's my full-time job. My characters have trauma, and I also have trauma… from writing them. I write best when I should be sleeping or doing literally anything else. I fix one chapter and accidentally break three more. I get attached to characters, then still decide to make them suffer anyway. My imagination has no budget, but my story planning definitely does. I always say "last revision," then immediately lie to myself.

5W's/Q&A
What kind of childhood did Ser-yun have before everything changed? : Erm actually ser-yun really loves writing since he was still a kid, he also love imagining things like, going inside of a novel and also curious about what it really feel like inside of a novel?, so in my perspectives, Ser-yun do really love playing outside with his childhood friends that i cannot really identify. And also he love's playing basketball in his modern days :D.
Who was the most important person in his life when he was young?: It's his brother, who raised him until he was 13 and supported him until he created his first story.
What is the title of the story Ser-yun is writing?: What you're reading is exactly what he was writing—so technically, this story has a drop of his own story in it. And yeah, I'm the boss of whole story here. Hehehe.
How old is Ser-yun when he finished his little novel?: I'm not really sure about this, but as I planned in my story, he is actually around 21 years old when he falls into his own story.
Is there a happy ending?: Actually, this is the question most readers ask when they read it for the first time, but for me, I hate bad endings, so maybe…?
Why do I always keep my character suffering?: So yeah, I said I hate bad endings… but I still make my characters suffer T-T. I don't actually want to scare you guys—I just want you to feel what it's like to be the character in the story. So basically… emotional damage with purpose. Sorry gaizzz
What are Ser-yun's strengths and weaknesses?: Seryun is a person because he knows that he is a character in a story but he still tries to do what he wants. He figures out the rules of the story fast and he keep going no matter what. Seryun is very determined. He gets by on being confident and confused at the same time. But Seryun has a weakness: he does not remember anything, about the story he created. This is really bad because he is the person who wrote the story. Now he has to live it and he has no idea what is going to happen. Seryun also feels a lot of stress because things keep getting worse and worse. With all the bad things happening Seryun keeps going because he really cannot stop. Seryuns story is what he has to live with and Seryun has to deal with it. .Even as the creator, he has no control over the narrative, making him both the author and the most confused "reader" IN HIS OWN STORY (LIKE ME) T-T
What is Seryun's favorite song on Spotify? and why?: "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron—because this was the song he always played while working on his story. But ngl, he was kinda… emotionally buffering 24/7. (In case someone asks me)
What is my favorite song?: "Back to Friends" by Sombr—don't ask me why, I just kinda like the vibe of this song while I work on the hundred chapters T-T
Is this a BL story?: I mean… why not? That was actually my first plan. But for now, I can't really answer that because there are still some changes in the story you don't know about—I'm keeping it secret. So don't quit on me, guys! I never confirmed anything… UHUHUH
Is there a romance happening?: I think so? I still hadn't really confirmed anything about having romance in this story, but how about a maybe? we'll see so stay tuned!
What is my favorite character in this story?: Isn't that obvious? Of course it's my precious Ser-yun. Why not? I worked really hard on that character. And honestly, if I imagine or draw him… bro is too handsome for his own good so yeah, I kinda like him a lot.
Ser-yun Favorite color?: His favorite color is blood red… which is basically a spoiler if you stare at the book cover for too long hehehe
How old am i?: Just a reminder: I'm a young author of this story, so don't come for me gaizzz, I'm 16, still a student, and somehow also managing this whole story at the same time. Don't worry, I've got years to finish this whole story… I might be in my 20s by the time I finally complete it.
Did i use Ai in my whole story?: Actually, I don't like using AI when it comes to writing novels. I only use it sometimes for my studies when things get hard. But this story? No AI involved, I used my own mind to create the whole thing

Meanings :
[Thread spiders- Thread Spiders make threads that you cannot see. These threads connect things that happen people and what happens to them. When Thread Spiders pull on these threads or cut them they can change what is real. This can make things happen over and over or things can change or something unexpected can happen.]
[Role Hunters -are people who track and capture others with roles, in the story. They start training at young age to catch and eliminate anyone who does not follow the rules. They do not question the system or its rules. They act like moderators of the system. With more power. Of banning people who break the rules they kill them.]
[Fallen main characters- They were supposed to be someone, but they did not become that person. They are not themselves—they are just really lost. They have to deal with the fact that they were supposed to do something, but they could not do it. So instead of doing what they were meant to do, they feel like they do not fit in anywhere. The person is struggling to find their place in the world. It is hard for them because the world is slowly pushing them away. This person is still trying to find where they belong. It is tough for them.]
[Lamentarium — where all fallen main characters are meant to be punished. This is a dark place that only fallen main characters can reach.]
[Epilogue seekers -are people who can't stand unfinished stories, so they become obsessed with forcing everything to reach an ending, no matter how messy or painful it gets. To them, closure matters more than the people or emotions involved, even if it means rushing or destroying everything just to see the final chapter.]
[Glitchbound Vessel- A person who has been infected or affected by a system glitch and becomes an evil entity for the rest of their lives. Only cure for this is to re-write the story.]
[more to come ;p depends tho]
