October 23, 2025 Progress Update
This month, progress was pretty much at a standstill, all thanks to my PC blowing up! 🖥️💥 At first, I thought it was just an issue with the liquid cooling, but after noticing my cooling system actually had a 6-year warranty, I reached out to the original vendor, and it turned out the CPU had also degraded. I had to ship the whole unit back for repairs. Honestly, the first half of the month was mostly spent gaming and drawing fanworks, zero motivation to work, lollll
Anyway, big thanks to the vendor though, they ended up replacing both the CPU and the liquid cooling for free! Now that it’s back, my PC runs like new, and even the fans are quieter. Seriously, thank you!! 🙏
Now, back to the project:
During my… extended breaks, I still managed to add voice acting for 17 characters, including Grenearl. Also, after a month of delay, the script for an additional secret voice role finally came in! Production for that part can now officially kick off. That said, characters like Rihert and Chouchu, who have lots of scenes and dialogue, are still waiting to be implemented. That’s going to take quite some time…
This month, I only finished scripting the performances for S3. But now that the updated script from 长高 is in, we can start wrapping up the J2 performances in November. On that note, while revising the final part of J2’s script, I stumbled upon a major plot conflict with the already fully produced P23 chapter (yes, programming and assets are all done… 😅).
Even though it would’ve been easier to just tweak the J2 script, I decided—for the sake of better storytelling and character development—to scrap and rewrite the entire P23 section.
If only I hadn’t rushed it… ORZ

Q: Will a male Melodian’s ability be affected after their voice changes during puberty?
A: Possibly! Because it can alter their vocal range and timbre.
As you may know, each Melodian has their own primary tone and key. The closer their vocal range aligns with that primary tone, the stronger their abilities become.
That said, most Melodians begin developing their powers after puberty, so many male Melodians only start singing after their voices have settled, avoiding this issue entirely.
Additionally, since vocal techniques differ between child singers and adult males, experienced Melodian families often focus on teaching music theory and instruments before puberty, and only start serious vocal training after the voice change.
Fun fact: There have been child Melodian who showed remarkable talent early on, but ended up losing their gifts, or even fading into obscurity, after their voice changed.
