To think a broken soul like us could accomplish the impossible and create the most powerful nation this world has ever seen... Who am I? Queen Araneae of the Crystal Empire Hive. None shall harm my subjects, not even an upstart delusional umbrum.

Well, I would say it's average at best, but considering how many people don't even have the basic decency to edit their chapters... thanks, I guess?
You shouldn't have to, but my priorities are all over the place right now. Writing is one of my favorite past times, but when I get other stuff on my plate, it sadly has to wait. It's not like I'm entirely unproductive right now, though. Still working on that rewrite/clean-up/overall editing of Twin Suns so that it actually earns those 650 likes (who knows, maybe it will get to those 1000... eventually).
Holy....jesus.....these chapters.....are so.........long............

Everyone else just writes short chapters.
It's sad that Ara is too emotional to recognize the strategic value of being allies with vampires. Especially once she realized that Breeze was the leader, there was no need to be so hostile. Ara could've offered them dominion of the Crystal Caves under the city, where they would be safe from the Heart's power, and they could've traded donated blood for mining mineral or something. It was easy to see that Breeze was still loyal. Unfortunately Ara was too dumb.
Still, I look forward to seeing what Breeze and Shadow get up to in the future. Hopefully we'll get the occasional chapter focusing on them.

Yeah, Ara is one dumb, overly emotional bug that tends to overreact. Arachne is the only one with a clear head... when she isn't being dumb for other reasons. They all tend to be narrow-minded in their own ways and it takes them a bit to get over that. As for Gentle Breeze (or Gentle Shadow as she will call herself going forward), we will see some glimpses of what she is up to here and there. I originally thought of giving her her own story, but I can't think of what to do with it. She's not going to play a major role beyond what I planned for her, she just genuinely wants to make a home for herself, free of slavery. And getting all the blood she could ever want.

I think if you do want to do a spinoff with Breeze, it could have a lot of potential. It doesn't have to be very long, but it could explore the struggles of trying to prove to ponies that she and her kind aren't monsters (especially since ponies seem to already have established legend about vampires) and that they can live together in harmony. She could either succeed at this and form a community like she wants to while being able to walk around openly, or ponies' fear and hate relegates them to forever hide in the shadows and use tactics to hunt for blood more like the changelings in the show.
Also, it would be nice to see how Shadow's personality and worldview, as well as relationship with Breeze, slowly changes as they spend more time together. And would any other umbrum come for Shadow? Plus the ponies that are turned against their will like Quartz overcoming their self-loathing for themselves and realizing that being a vampire doesn't make them a monster per se. And the ethics of raising the dead.
I dunno, a lot of ideas to play with there.

Ahh... if I had the time? Maybe. As it stands, I'm going to try and finish this story first before thinking of writing spin-offs or sequels. For now, most of that will have to happen 'off screen' or the main plot won't go anywhere anytime soon. As I said, Gentle played her role and will serve a specific purpose for our main characters later down the line. That is, if I don't change my mind and go a different route, altogether. There are many things I want to do, but what ends up happening is anyone's guess. I like to write by letting the story 'write itself'.

Okay, so... I've watched the anime now (I'm really great at procrastinating, yay!), and I can kind of see the similarity? I'm not sure what to make of it. I don't think they are the "same in almost every way", though. They are more like kindred spirits with similar life goals. I mean... I guess they both have a one-track mind. Just for naughty things, in Araneae's case.

i admit, i might had exaggerate the "almost every way" part a little bit.

Well, as I said, I can see the similarities. Although, I would argue she feels more like a little sister, if that makes sense? The anime was fun to watch (except for the horrendous 3D animation), I wish there was more of it. Might have to read the novel or manga it's based on. I'm not much of a fan of 'The System' in written form, though... the thing is more of a nuisance than a good magic system except in anime form.
