There will definitely be more! (I even had the foresight to put vol. I on the cover.) They have a whole second semester to go.

My only complaint about this is that there isn't more. I want to know how his date with Heather, or how things progress with Hailey, or what else he accidentally fucks up. The way you described the girl's mindsets were so visceral and real; I fully believed them. And I loved how mostly oblivious Connor remained to the whole thing. This was an incredible buy. Can't wait to read what else you do!

Okay, all done. Yep, it's great. It reminded me a lot of various chapters from Character Creation, especially near the end. Which is good, to me, since those stories are really clever. I also dug how conflicted and occasionally oblivious Conner is. It can be tough in a Master PC-ish story to root for a protagonist, but the epilogue had me hoping things don't get too rough for him in Volume 2. Thanks again for the great read!

So glad! I really felt good about this one, but I know going with a focus on that younger (youngest) age group can be a disincentive for some readers, so it's always a gamble. Not that I write just to satisfy the market quota, but I try not to ignore it too much or my landlord gets upset. :)

For sure. I knew pretty early on this would be a Part One. A bit like Tolerance/The Tolerant, in the next installment I'll remain focused on Conner, but will have chapters devoted to other central characters as well (as the epilogue probably makes clear). Glad you enjoyed!
