It's been a while since we had a poll, and I apologize. Work caught up to me, and I still owe several of those. The plan is to do them over the summer, as I am mostly taking off the summer as patreon has provided me with enough extra income for fun stuff, as well as work on my health.

This poll, however, is about the Second Archon War. Quite simply, do you want there to be two or three interludes between Nahida's section and the next Archon? The first interlude has been mostly written, and is entitled Justice for All. It focuses on the Archons, and how they handle justice and the legal system in their lands. The next planned interlude features Taylor and the magical situation globally, IE, Enlightened Beasts and such popping up across Earth Bet. There is potential for a third interlude, which would be entirely focused on ordinary people and how they live their lives. The question for you all this this: Would you rather get a third interlude focused on muggles and what their lives are like, or would you prefer to go straight into the next Archon?

Poll will end on the 17th.

I said this in the thread already so I’ll only say that any additional writing from you is a treasure in and of itself. Either way I’m satisfied because I can’t wait for the next Archon. I hope you enjoy your summer! I know I will haha

Oh boy, this one's hard. On one hand, I'm really eager for the next Archon - in fact, I believe I said so the first time I left a comment here. But I also know some things should not be rushed, and good worldbuilding goes a long way toward fleshing out a story. Arguably, maaaybe three interludes in a row is a bit much, but it might be my personal bias talking. So I'm going to take the coward's way out and state that my heart is full of uncertainty.

Want regular people reacting to the archons

I feel that the interludes and perspectives from normal people absolutely matter in a story like this. The story is about turning a grimdark hellhole of a setting and giving it hope via divine intervention. Sure, you can get perspectives from Parahumans and I'm sure we'll get more throughout the story as it advances closer to the canon era as we see butterflies and changes continue their effects of the setting. Overall I think having normal people interludes ties into both the themes of Worm and Genshin, normal people ultimately are affected the most in both settings by the forces outside their control, both for good and ill.

Tbh the normal people chapters have been my least favorite by a significant margin.

i am eagerly eager for both options, so i suppose my heart is full of neutrality?

Elipses...

I want that third Interlude, but I think it would be better after a chapter or two of next Archon... mostly because I want to see if it will be Morax or Focalors lol!

It would be interesting to see what people unaffiliated with Archons and Cauldron think about world events, especially Nahida and her plants

As a fan of alternate history I Always love the normal people chapters. I Like seeing the poltical ramifications of things as well. Keep in mind Slowing down the plot will probably buy you time for the pyro archon. And i dont mind that.
