First of all, this guidebook is supposed to be an aid for anyone who is not previously familiar with or knows the Ramayana. It gives you a plot summary, and characters descriptions. However, even if you very well know the summary of the entire Ramayana, and have read many such stories claiming to retell it in nice short terms, I would still advise that you give this a little look-through. It may help you actually get through this ginormous thing without abandoning it.

Character Drabbles Part 2
This Character Drabbles is a basic summary of Shatrughan's (the fourth prince and youngest son of Dasharath) and Sumitra's (third wife of Dasharath,) character personality through short stories. Particularly Sumitra's, everyone really loved it.
You Before Me
A chapter focusing on the love of Shatrughan and Shrutakirti with a lot of stargazing and birthday surprise parties. Apparently, my weakness (which is emotions), was particularly well executed in this chapter.
Unintentional Alliance Parts 1 & 2
When I did a poll, these two parts were the most mentioned, though they were two of my earliest chapters. Apparently I was quite funny in this one, though I am not quite sure if my readers are just really nice or if it's actual quality humor.

DISCLAIMER!!!!
This story is not technically its title. It is not a direct retelling. Or else it would not have been 100 something chapters. This story is bascially a humanization of the characters, and small made-up stories from the Ramayana that tell the entire epic.
ANOTHER DISCLAIMER!!!!
The characters occassionally speak in hindi words (very rarely), but almost 95% of the story is written in pure, fluent English. I also have a tendency of using the word 'damn' or 'damn it' sometimes, so please bear with me.
That was your guidebook throughout my story. Have you still not figured out the Ramayana? Please send me an inbox chat for more info, or look it up online! Do you have something to add? Send me a message! Do you just want to rant about how stupidly long this is? Send me a message! I agree! This was SUPPOSED TO BE short.

Thank you for sticking with me so far! This guidebook might not be helpful to some, but I thought it was necessary to include just for some clarity for people that may not have experienced the Ramayan before.
Okay, Happy Reading!
DISCLAIMER!
My writing has improved miles upon miles since when I started. So, the first 70 chapters could be horrible.
