    Divided into main story arcs and individual character arcs, reading them together can reveal new insights. You can check out the writing style on the homepage first, or treat it as a place to vent, whether you're a reader or not. This is a niche, semi-calm, semi-ensemble piece with a spinning wheel setting. The content is purely my own creation, leaning towards slice-of-life adventure while also incorporating elements of reality, blending fiction and fantasy.
