Summary:

Fate is interesting, wouldn't you say?.

It doesn't care for what goes, only when.

But it is no game, for man has struggled to control it for millenia.

They wrestle and strangle for power, never truly realizing how little they can really control.

However, for one person, this reality seems right at their fingertips.

Frisk, a person with extraordinary DETERMINATION, can RESET and travel to a SAVE point at will, reversing and reverting whatever happens on a whim.

Although… destiny never runs out of surprises, their best friend Sayori lives on borrowed time, as a consequence of her own will.

Unsurprisingly they resist, choosing to defy a force without will, and consequently no sympathy.

Watching from afar, I can already see a forgone failure.

Their destiny has already passed.

The plan is set, and cannot be stopped.

Nevertheless the experiment remains very……Interesting.

When I Started: It´s about bit of a funny story, the idea came to me around the release of that one Undertale Last Breath retake, the one that replaced enigmatic encounter with a different song. I saw it and asked myself…”hey what if Monika tried to take over Undertale.” Now that’s obviously not what actually came to be, that idea underwent several mutations before I landed on the final crystallized concept. And most of that was in my head by the way.

As I’ve said elsewhere Madoka Magica was the primary inspiration in concept.

I didńt actually begin to start writing until around April when I stumbled across this big bang and I’m happy to say it did its job, I did indeed finish my shit.

However at first progress was embarrassingly slow, as in 1 chapter a month…. Thankfully around July something clicked and I was able to establish a consistent workflow of 1 chapter a week.

How I Lost My Shit: Chapter’s 18 and 19 (originally meant to be the same chapter until they were split.) were super challenging to write, I won’t spoil it but it was not easy to really cap off the main character arcs in a satisfying way while still staying respectful to the subject matter. It took me 3 weeks to write them all in all.
