And there we are, we reached the end of chapter 2. Sadly for Dwaas, it doesn’t end on an upbeat note. Dwaas finally realises he might’ve been better off being himself, but it’s too late, he lost the one true friend he had; Kemi.
I really wanted to avoid taking an intermission, especcialy such a long one. Yet, after I took the decision I felt relieved. I’ll use the time to create the third chapter…. a lot less dark, literally and figuratively speaking.

I’m not sure I’d call this chapter dark.
I mean, the darkness is not that intense and I’m sure you could use more darkness to set up the next chapter. Your story, IMHO, lacks deep sad moment.
For example, I’m not sure how to feel about Kemi’s departure. Is it really a sad moment? The way he left, on the moment I even laughed. But now that I see Dwaas’ reaction, I’m not sure about me getting the right feeling on this one anymore.
Thanks for your honest feedback, I appreciate that!
It’s always interesting to see how something can effect people in so many different ways. I felt it was dark… and was a bit sad when Kemi departed and Dwaas certainly is depressed a bit. I’m wondering what made your experience so different. That will be interesting to think about. Anyway, the next chapter will be an improvement (i hope 😆 ).
Thank you for your continued support my friend! I’m looking forward to seeing you again at least when the comic returns. And remember, you’re welcome IRL too. Thanks again 😀
Well it’s more of a minifig problem actually. I’ve been thinking about why I felt that and I’d say that’s because of the facial expression of the characters.
Unfortunately, special minifigs like Dwaas and Kemi won’t give you much freedom on facial expressions and that certainly hurts the perception on what’s going at times for the reader. As it’s not much of a problem for Dwaas’ character, the ever smiling Kemi might have been a more difficult challenge.
I’d say that’s a few filling scenes here and there may have helped me perceive Kemi as deeper character, to make up for his ever smiling face.
What I meant by darkness is that some scene could have lasted one or two more episodes so we can feel the drama building a bit more, like the one when Barron is pointing his gun at Bree and Dawn. Something like that anyway.
Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely loved the story and its pace, I should read it again soon now that it’s complete!
I’m speechless. In a good way, don’t worry. This chapter was a hell of a ride. I am not gonna lie, I am saddened that Dwaas and Dawn never got to stay together… I sincerely hope that they will return in each other’s life. On top of that, the loss of Kemi who was becoming a favorite of mine in this chapter, really struck me. I hope we revisit the lives of Dawn and Bree. And I hope that there is a light at the end of Dwaas’s lonely tunnel. As much as this chapter was darker than the first and as much as it really threw my hopes and expectations out of the water (many great stories often tend to do that anyway, so nothing bad on you haha), I have to say it’s quality, charm, characters, atmosphere, photography, lighting, visual effects, and the enriching story itself is on levels above the first chapter, so congrats!
Like I said before, I love your first chapter, and I especially love how you did this second chapter! I’m loving everything you write and create so good on you! Now it looks like I’m on my way to being all caught up as I dive into the third chapter!
I cannot wait to see what the third chapter will bring! Knowing you, it’s going to blow my mind out the water as well! <3
Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate that. I’m happy to see that the loss of Kemi struck you. Pi3rK didn’t feel the connection and I wonder if it has something to doe with the wait between weeks vs. binge-reading like you did.
I know that I miss, but I’m reading that just now. And I want to cry. Why is that have to finish SO SAD?? I hope that in the next season that’s gonna be fixed. And I miss Kemi! I don’t know what’s the time in your place now, but in my place (Israel, if you’re asking) it’s 02:10 on (or in?) night, and I’ve just finished whole the season. I have so many things more to say, but I have to gonna sleep. More reason is that it’s hard for me, as a (an?) Heabrue speaker, to use English. (So sorry about the mistakes). I know I can use GoogleTranslate, but I want to try write it by myself, even it’s taking more time. (Now it’s 02:25…). Thank you anyway!
Hi Ref! I am from the Netherlands, so an hour earlier than in Israel.
Thanks for reading the comic! I agree, the second comic, was a bit sad. I don’t know why, it just happened over the course of the story. I hope you will enjoy the third season more! It’s certainly a bit more joyous! Dwaas will be reunited with people from the past. Can’t promise Kemi will be there though. We’ll have to wait and see where the story will take us!
Also thanks for taking the time to write your comment. I really appreciate it. 😀
