Figured I'd address the elephant in the room. I've been gone for several years and decided a few weeks ago to make a return to Wattpad. I will make my best attempt to be active in posting on here and my other books. 

Some relevant rhythm game-related stuff that happened since I left:

- Cytus II: I actually made purchases within the game. (1) There was an offer for the 9 (at the time) DLC characters - 65% off for $35. Probably an absurd purchase to make, but I thought it was a great deal. (Definitely better than $90 lol) That revived my interest in the game, and I've improved SO much from before I bought the DLC characters (2) bought the CAPSO system, so I've got lots of Glitch charts (3) I bought one of the Muse Dash packs (the one with XODUS because I love that song) because they were discounted at the time. I don't really intend on making any more purchases (aside from Miku, since I wasn't allowed to make in-app purchases when she ran the first time). 
- Arcaea: (1) I have bought a lot in this game as well. Pretty much all of the purchases I've made were during the anniversary sales lol. Bang for your buck, amirite? Anyway, I have all the main story packs for Act I, as well as Absolute Reason, Ambivalent Vision, Crimson Solace, as well as the Undertale, Rotaeno, Cytus II, and WACCA collab packs. I have about 20 (more or less) songs in Memory Archive. In total, I have around half of the charts in the game. (2) I reached 11.00 PTT before I made any purchases, and F2P 11 PTT is really hard to achieve since there aren't nearly as many songs to play (especially higher rated songs). I've been trying to get to 12.00 PTT since 2024 so I can get the star on my ranking, but I've had no luck... I got to 11.93 before lots of charts got rerated a few months ago, so it went down to 11.90.
- Phigros: I have probably somewhere between 70-75% of IN charts with phi rank. I've gotten a lot better at Phigros, but now the last charts I haven't phi-ed yet are the ones that I've beaten in bad muscle memory from when I was less good at the game. Miraculously, there has yet to be any in-app purchases, which is incredibly based.
- Dynamix: I know I haven't mentioned this one at all in this book. When I was most active with writing this book, I either didn't play or just started playing. I've been enjoying this one a lot more recently, and I've definitely improved a lot, especially with multifingering (my weakness). 
- Rotaeno: this one didn't even exist when I was active in this book. I bought it a few weeks after release and have been playing it since. Now I pretty much only play when there's a new event song. I've bought a few packs: Chapter 3, as well as the WACCA, Phigros, and Hardcore TANO*C collab packs.
- Rizline: I played this one for some time but don't anymore. I lost interest since I AP'd most of the charts and wasn't inclined to buy any of the singles. I bought the songs in Disc 1 since it was just $1, but that's it.
- Colorful Stage: again, wasn't playing this one when I was active in this book. First downloaded it for a few days and got bored of it, then re-downloaded it when I saw someone in front of me playing it on their phone. I wanted to make friends with them, so I thought that would be a good talking point. Never ended up talking to them, but I had a lot of fun with the game. I played from that point until over this past summer when I lost interest, but picked it up recently because of KAITO's birthday banner (he is my favorite vocaloid and I have every other birthday card of his). 

And another point: looking back at some of the older parts in this book, I reeeeally should go back and edit some chapters. There's lots of broken video links from my old gaming channel that no longer exists, there are parts where I talk about games I don't play anymore, and my favorite songs lists severely need to be updated. If you notice chapters are missing or different, do not be alarmed.
