The new chapter of The Valkyrie Program is almost done! I just need to have some beta readers take a look and give feedback, then it'll be up!

I'll be frank: Progress on the current chapter of the Valkyrie Program is very slow because I simply don't want to write it... but it has to be written. Introducing characters in a "Hello, how are you? My name is ____" context is in my opinion the worst way to introduce characters, but when a story like this begins with an orientation it becomes a necessary evil.
incredible worldbuilding on physnet. I feel like this could easily be a webcomic or a novel

Ah, thanks! Yeah, it's something of an idea that I've had in the back of my mind since I first watched Digimon as a 5-year-old (lol). It's mostly an exercise in worldbuilding, but I'd like to stoke the flames a bit more and at least describe the beginnings of a story... It's said that at the cost of billions, the Physnet can be connected to our world.

The good news to readers who don't like this method is that it's the only time I will allow this to happen. It being the start of the story, I don't mind subjecting readers to a small amount of bullshit if it means that later on things will pick up. I hope to revise this chapter to be more engaging in the future, but for now all I have to say is that my priority is getting it done, not getting it done well.
