Of Servants, Masters and writing

After a week in the academy, where I practically did nothing, it feels somewhat refreshing to be back home. This also means I have more time to write, although some of it goes to my replay of Persona 3 FES and first playhrough of Dragon Age 2. However, I still should be able to finish the next update Somnium Summer Redux, although the woman-in-white is trying to drown it in "words-words-words-words"...
One thing I've noticed when writing Somnium Summer Redux is that switching to the more visual novel style of writing was a good choice. It allows me to write updates faster, but that does not necessarily mean shorter updates. In addition, dividing the scenes is now far easier, which should also make reading it much easier. Hopefully it is also enjoyable to read, and if it's not, it would be great if people said so. I can always switch the style, after all.
Speaking of Somnium Summer, I'm getting giddy using all these new Servants that I rolled to it. Most of the old ones were thrown away, and that means we won't be seeing guys like Abhimanyu, Conn mac Airt, or even Neferkaptah, who was quite interesting in the original story. Master illusionist, and all that. In any event, I don't think these new Servants are going to lose to the older versions, and even in Day 2 there are few chances to meet these new faces. Of course, it's up to readers if Rider will survive this encounters or not. We already died once to, as Spinach named him, totally-not-Roland.
I'm bit annoyed though, since I can't help to feel that the first post looks hella cluttered with all the information. If anyone has any good ideas of how to make it more simple, or another way of storing all the profiles, info-snippets and that stuff, they are more than welcome to suggest.
Oh, and Karin's going to get new clothes in Day 2. Stay tuned~
