If it makes you feel any better, I'm been growing more inactive here as well, and it's not due to HoEC. I've been relying on Rusty reminding me to edit Lasting Legacy, and even though a long time ago I said I'd start a new episode of IaLR, I still haven't done that because of how busy I am.

It might be my own fault. I already have a lot on my schedule, yet I somehow manage to make things worse by getting myself into more and more activities even when I don't need to. I can't help but feel that I've gotten into so many things that I'm starting to lower the quality and time I can offer to each individual thing, and I don't want that to happen.

I understand what it means to have a very busy personal life. I've had several friends that were so busy with school that it affected their activity online, but don't worry. It's not like it's your fault. And you can trust me when I say that I haven't lost any respect towards you for less activity. It would be something hypocritical, since I've seen a reduction in my own activity, almost as much as you have. I still consider you one of my best friends on this site, and if you're worried about HoEC, don't worry. Unlike any regular stories on this site, I haven't lost interest in HoEC. In fact, this slow activity has allowed me to plan my Season 5 episodes even more, so once we finally end the Season 4 finale, we'll be in for a solid and well-planned Season 5.

HoEC is still as great as it was in the past, and a bit of inactivity isn't going to change that. You're one of my best friends on this site, and a bit of inactivity isn't going to change that. I just don't want this wiki to die just because one of us suddenly becomes inactive. And I only feel left out because of how much I miss each time I'm offline.

I'm writing the Season 4 finale as we speak, it's a rather long edit which is why I'm chatting as I'm editing. And I'm also relying on improvisation at times to keep the story going. I know how much you might see this slow activity as a benefit for you to plan ahead, but it's not so much for me to be honest. Having to deal with a lot of schoolwork has been affecting how well I can come up with story ideas and expansions, and even now I don't have much planned for Season 6 and beyond.

I've said this several times, but you're the reason why my storywriting skills have significantly improved. You've also gotten me into character development and story arcs, and I'm happy with where my characters are at now. And I'm still glad how we managed to keep HoEC as great as it was in the past. I don't know about the other users but I'm glad we still have a solid friendship until now. Thanks, I really appreciate it.

Speaking of the Season 4 finale, I'm predicting that it might be finished within at least two or three weeks. But I hope I can still try to speed things up despite my inactivity. That's ok. I tend to improvise in my stories a lot when I haven't planned them as much.

Well, I'm still going to be the one leading Season 6 in order to follow Rusty's plans and wishes for HoEC, so I think you still have a lot of time to think about Season 6 episodes and further on. Besides, I really don't think Season 5 is going to be over that soon either.

I'm always glad to help. And believe it or not, writing with you has also helped me a lot to get back into writing overall. By the time we began HoEC, my series Red Fork X was pretty much dead, and I wasn't writing anything at all. To be honest, if we hadn't started HoEC, I might've lost all my interest in writing altogether. Writing HoEC with you has helped me get inspired in writing again, and I think I've improved a lot with the practice and experience we've gained through the course of the series. i'm still extremely excited to continue HoEC, and that's why I've been planning so many things for Seasons 5, 6, 8 and 10. In my plans Season 10 would be the final season of the series, and I already know who the Sesaon 10 villain is going to be, but there's still years of writing to do before we get there. What I mean is, I feel like writing HoEC with you has helped me as much as it helped you.

I'm curious about this new character Souta. Perhaps you could tell me a bit more about him? Well, improvisation was the main reason why Souta's introduced earlier than I planned. I just found it fitting.

Got it. Although I already thinking about what the Season 7 finale should be about - it's a three parter.

The only difference is that I never did actual storywriting before HoEC began. Sure, I did several stories, but apart from QotLRG, they were never finished. Without HoEC, my characters would've been blander and undeveloped, and I would've kept the habit of leaving stories unfinished. Which reminds me, I just realized that Baked in Love hasn't been completed yet, and I thought I already finished it some time ago. But the point is, I'm really glad we started HoEC and that it inspired us both to become storywriters.

About Souta, he was originally planned to be introduced in Season 5 along with the other members of the Seven Deadly Assassins, a set of upcoming characters who are a secret society of weapon-proficient bandits. As of Dark Reign Again, we do know that his parents are killed by the Warlord's silhouette soldiers and he has a friendly relationship with Tsunami. But what I can tell you is that Souta is part of the Seven Deadly Assassins, and he was manipulated to join the secret society after his family was under financial debt, and that he needed to earn money to help his family. Souta's abilities include a wide range of potions as well as throwing weapons (shurikens, throwing blades, etc.) he earned from his time in the secret society.
