Mine arrived as a nice surprise yesterday! I have to say I love the sparkly tissue paper you wrapped it in 😊

That said, the combat is difficult to get back into from a cold start (I did *try* to resume those DLCs), so if that puts you off, start 2 instead. They've polished the combat a bit, so it my be more intuitive.

You could always get familiar enough with the combat in 2 to go back to 1 briefly.

It is, yes! I managed to finish the first (unusual for me, too), but sadly never managed to do all the cool DLC because of a bug sort of caused by one of my mods (it really did not like mods).

I'd definitely recommend finishing 1, because 2 picks up where it left off, and 1's ending is excellent.

Actually, did some maths: It works out at an 18-day average for just the English books.

47 days according to the Storygraph! Not sure what it reduces to without the Ukrainian books. But my speed for English books wildly varies thanks to a lack of reading time.

Mine did that a second ago, but it's disappeared again now.

I'll be honest, I didn't even realise you could do that on Bluesky. I thought it was a Mastodon thing.

I'm starting to think I hallucinated writing those scene notes. I couldn't find them in any of the backups, and those seemed to cover all steps of me creating scenes! So maybe my brain is to blame, not Scrivener.

If you fancy following along with the story, I'm posting first-draft chapters as I finish them on:
