I am 5/8 of the way done with the Insatiable rewrite. I've added in a lot more backstory, smoother character progression, and clearer character traits. Also, I've adjusted the tone to be more reasonable. I cut out unnecessary filler and replaced it with more fun/less cliché scenes. Plus, there are toooons of hints for those of you sifting through the mystery (my favorite part). Also, as always, Haru is frickin' hilarious to me.

On a separate note, so many people have been asking me for a voice claim and I have been working on it. I can for sure tell you a few of the characters, but some elude me, so if you have a good idea for one of the characters you know thus far, please feel free to give me some ideas (I prefer Japanese voice actors/singers, but I also recognize characters have accents like Akari and others [somewhere between Italian, French, and Sumerian], Haru [somewhere between French and Portuguese], Ryota [a creole accent somewhere between a Chinese language (probably Black Miao)/South Korean (for Umayena) and Japanese (for Athain)], Hotaka [somewhere between Kannada and Japanese - an assimilated accent formation], and ??? [just straight up Columbian <3). So, suggestions are appreciated.

(I'm a Linguist, by the way, so I can and will get really in depth about the languages/culture in my stories as you will see with ???, who - I will tell you right now - is from Pasnad. My majors are Applied Linguistics and Japanese, my minors are English and Comparative Literature and TESL/TEFL (Teaching English as a second/foreign language). Right now, I'm trilingual, but I'm on a fast-track to become a polyglot (next up is Mandarin then some Arabic language, maybe more). I also have dual citizenship in Italy and America. There's a bunch more to it, but that's a tiny résumé that would explain my obsession with the cultures of my world.)
