now Gate Jietai is out. even if i do get to write down my Invasion story, people would prolly think it's a rip off of that show >.< this is like Kuro Somato and my Blinky and Elena story all over again. except this time, the world setting is too large to revise to avoid similarities. heck i might as well as write a completely different story if i revise it. the process of creation is like birthing or bringing life into the world. your creation is your child, and i feel like that what i have made will be viewed as an abomination. dead in the womb. i hate myself so much right now.
