    The setting is extensive, and it's incorporating even more novel plot elements to ensure diversity. The various settings are fresh and unique, and the abilities are diverse, with more to be introduced later. Foreshadowing is consistently present, and the story will definitely adhere to a realistic sci-fi apocalypse (the sci-fi plot won't be overly extensive, but it will be present throughout; however, to keep the overall setting within acceptable limits, the sci-fi elements will be somewhat concealed, but those who enjoy reading will still be able to find many; the sci-fi theme will remain central, but may gradually accumulate and expand later).
