    Mother of reviews! This sure is one. To let you in on a secret, when I was plotting Seiren way back in its previous unfinished version, Tamaki was just something I inserted because the story didn't feel right ending so quickly. To this day, I haven't really come up with anything better and I've...

    Thank you both for the reviews! Sorry for the late replies, life's been hectic. Right, I should probably add that in the author's notes here as well instead of just in Hunter, Haunted: there is a story that bridges these two together called Metanoia, and it precisely answers why Red views Helix...

    @GrayGriffin Thanks for the review! The prologue I can definitely confirm is not meant to be comedic, so no surprises there - it's meant to establish the strong attachment Red has with Helix, which is really the driving force of the plot. The first chapter, though, is written with the same tone...

    Google Docs unfortunately doesn't seem to, on neither desktop nor mobile. If I really need an em (or en) dash, I find myself googling it and just copy-pasting the character from the results as it's still easier than alt codes in my opinion. Maybe it's not filtering in the traditional sense of...

    I'm not sure how it couldn't be a thing? It takes time for eyes to focus to a certain distance, and that also requires eye musculature to happen. Or I'm not sure how it works in cephalopods, but I need to draw the line at mollusk anatomy research somewhere. I'm aware, but I absolutely refuse...

    Basically that - he sees more clearly and the light isn't as blinding as prior. A club is basically the "hand" parts of a tentacle, yes - and by that I mean an actual tentacle and not an arm, which both octopuses and squids have eight of. More explanation here. I do have Red freely refer to...

    Thank you very much for the read and reply! Very glad you enjoyed this story. I understand this problem and it was something I struggled with. Seiren has an unfortunate position in the series where it actually can't change the status quo too drastically or it would break the setup for Hunter...

    :O this is so wonderful to hear, thank you! You'll be glad to hear there's more exploration of this in future chapters. I can explain some here, though, as it leans on TPP stuff and so isn't really spoilers as it's there in the source material (where it isn't spoilers either). The journey Red...

    Here it is, finally, after two years: the finale of Seiren. Two years, that's how long ago the original version's penultimate chapter was posted, and it never received its conclusion - until now! I need to say, however, that this isn't really the end, as I'm intending to still write a short...

    Ah, yeah, I think I keep overestimating how reconstructable some elements of TPP are from the references... it's not a spoiler what it is, so I can just explain it now for clarity: In TPP, the biggest danger to progress was the PCs. Because the game doesn't let you recapture a mon after...

    Oh, this is actually the first letter Shirlee sent Red, though. Before the surprise visit in Chapter 3, the communication had been entirely one-sided. Well, it's actually tied to where the time has been read. In the case of the 24-hour instances, Red reads the time from a digital clock - first...
