>>59209243>>59210903>>59212456>>59213790Enough time has passed by now that I don't feel particularly attached to keeping Rushia in the story. I wouldn't have been able to say this a year ago, but I'd be ok with a Holocalypse without Rushia. If she does get removed the girl (or girls, perhaps?) who will come in to replace her just need a lot of charisma to fill the gap. It still wouldn't feel great, I do have a plan for her and it's a sweet one.
>>59209667>>59210751It's a pretty extensive rewrite. Aside from following the basic narrative skeleton of the original, everything else will be changed. Taking Rushia out would be pretty simple to do since I'm going to be building the whole thing back up from the ground. What's holding me back from doing that is I still want readers who read the original to be able to pick up the new chapter (when it eventually comes out) and already have the required knowledge. If I retcon Rushia from the remake, people who read the original will then be required to read the rewrite. That and it would feel a little wrong to unperson her.
I guess it all depends on how much I'm willing to change the story. If I do make a major retcon and the rewrite becomes required knowledge, I might be tempted to change a couple of other things to enhance the story as well.
Coco's here to stay, though. I have big plans for her.
