Well guys, we just reached the end of the Romance Overload chapters. I hope it wasn't bad and didn't bore you to death from cheesiness, hehe.
The plan was to build up the Kosuke-Ayane relationship in a whole new level in merely a month's span. The process came difficult for me, coz I had to squeeze the events in merely ten chapters. I wanted to write it in a manner that would not seem rushed, for I aim for that "beautiful" character development and transition as far as the two characters are concerned.
In contrast to Book 1 of F&L where the romance chapters were mainly composed of 'cuteness' and 'high schooly' love, I created this in a way that catered to all aspects of love -
cuteness + corniness + hilarity + clever/witty + sexy + passionate. Again, this process did not come easy as well. I had some of the chapters re-done several times as to create the perfect balance and chemistry. I also had to go to a real hotel to picture out the setting (with Meia? Hehe, I'll leave that to your imagination).
And the *cough cough* sex scenes *cough cough* were the most difficult to do, hehe. I had Chapter 30 and 31 revised more than 5 times. I wanted it to turn out in such a way that the readers would end up smiling with the unfolding of events, not laughing at the way it was written. Above all, as much as possible I wanted to avoid writing them "by the fluid" (a.k.a. no unnecessary mention of human organs, 'burning rods', 'red flowers', and 'goo' - those shit, hehe... sorry to other authors...)
Well, we now proceed to the deeper parts of the story. The old folks are going to make a come back, new secrets to discover, new problems, new love teams, and more more more action.
To the readers, thank you for your continued support! I guess I couldn't possibly come up with this story without your honest feedback and encouragement.
