Update #3 Time to Think · 2:37am Oct 14th, 2018
Story finally finished, a load of mental baggage laid to rest (which I'm ironically gonna have to write Daniel's method to alleviate his mental baggage, among other things), I'm left with a few things to ask those who may still be following, or new to reading the story. Specifically: It's very rough beginning... and middle... and parts leading into the end 
Should I restructure the beginning chapters and onward to a more sensible format, or leave it as is?
Also, to mention here, instead of making another blog post and another notification people will have to read: I'll be soon deleting 'FTL: Operation Restoration' following story posting site rules #3 and #7 , since I'm not sure where it lies when being rewritten.
Re-reading the story, I may have jumped the gun back then, and I'd rather not continue with how it is right now. Instead, telling it from different perspectives of the two main characters in a way that ties better into explaining how the painted universe they're in is related to Equestria, and their story derived from that. The path the story was going, would have only had tidbits of hints until a decisive explanation near the end, which I don't feel is fair to make people read that far into it. It did however, have many important events that I wish to keep in the rewritten version, and so they will be in it :)
Just letting people know as a courtesy, as it will be deleted sometime and eventually replaced.
I feel the need to ask again, because I'd really like feedback on this, if only for the ease of use for future readers that may stumble on this story and read it's jumbled beginning and be turned away from it.

The next chapter is a big read! I'm going to savor it and read it this evening.
