Chapter 3 Progress Report (August 2025)

Hello, it's been a while since I wrote one of these, hasn't it? This is a long update post about the behind-the-scenes of chapter 3 work and other things.

TL;DR: I finished writing the first draft and am working on proofreading.

About the progress

I finished writing the first draft for all of chapter 3, as well as the bonus episodes of chapter 3. I've also written the first draft for some other stories that I would like to release before chapter 3: bonus episodes of chapter 2, an interlude about Teruko's childhood, and an additional thing.

The next steps are to proofread all of these scripts. Please keep in mind that for me, proofreading is also a rather long process. For chapter 2, the time spent on proofreading alone exceeded 6 months. I apologize, it seems like it's rather slow. But also, please keep in mind that the amount of script to proofread is a bit. The combination of everything is several hundred pages. I'm surprised I wrote so much… I'm worried that some of it is too long.

Thoughts about chapter 3

It's very long!

Hopefully not too long!

…Sorry, there's not much else I can say without spoiling anything!

It's longer than chapter 1 and chapter 2, but not longer than both of them combined. That's about as much as I can say right now.

There are no guarantees on this, but I think that this might be the longest chapter in DT, and the rest will be shorter. I think in general, chapter 3 of Fangans are longer… That's just my guess, though.

Future plans

Work on visual assets will begin after proofreading, so once that begins, I'll have more interesting things to show you as previews. Currently, I don't have anything I can show…

I'm changing the program and method with which I use to produce episodes, so I hope that the end result is that I will be able to make them more quickly and efficiently than in the past.

I will definitely do another round of FTEs before chapter 3. Some time in the future, I'll put out a poll asking for what character pairs you would like to see an FTE of. Think about it carefully in advance until then!

I may start thinking about hiring additional staff. I may need art assistance, especially for the Argument Armament, Closing Argument, and Execution, because these things took a lot of time in chapter 2 to make. (It would be nice to have an animation assistant as well, but finding someone like that is probably out of the question…) There is the appearance of additional side/background characters, so additional voice actors may be needed.

Well, there is no guarantee at this point in time for either of these things. Working with people is overwhelming, so I'm unsure about it... It's just something to think about.

Lately, I feel like I want to remake the prologue. The quality is low, and many things have changed since 2020, so I feel like it no longer reflects the rest of the story well. However, I have a lot on my plate right now, so I'm not sure where I'll fit in the time to do such a thing.

Other notes

I would like to post more small content, like illustrations and comics, during this hiatus, but working on chapter 3 is very busy and unfortunately it's hard to find time to work on these things. Still, I do my best to post something every month or every two months. Please continue to keep an eye out for it.

Music videos aren't planned in advance, and they aren't part of a greater plan of the story. There is no such guarantee that every character will get a music video, or that all MVs follow some such theme, or something like that. They are just things I make on a whim because I like a song. You can consider them like doodles I post to social media.

Closing thoughts

It will be a long time until the release of chapter 3 is ready, so I am deeply thankful for your patience at this time. If you have the patience to wait until then, I am grateful. But even if you lose interest in DRDT during this time and move on to something else, that is alright too. As long as my works were able to bring you happiness at some point in your life, then I am grateful nonetheless. Please don't worry about these things.

Even now, I'm really surprised that it seems like there are a lot of people who are into DRDT. I'm very honored! Thank you to everyone who has supported me, and to everyone who will continue to support me. I'll continue to work hard on DRDT!

★ — whit makes it his personal mission to make david smile by making the most stupid jokes. a lot of times david will just groan and put his head in his hand, but sometimes he’ll smile to himself when whit isn’t looking

★ — whit likes playing with david’s hair, fiddling with his hairclips whenever he has them on. david could care less about those hairclips, so he lets whit do this

★ — whit will flirt a lot and it’ll be really random, but david will out of nowhere respond with a comment that is somehow even more romantic and whit will just freeze on the spot. david thinks it’s kind of funny

★ — golden retriever x black cat ship

★ — whit will sometimes look over david’s shoulder as the man works on his speeches and then just comment small ideas for things to say (he’s the reason david hasnt quit whilst in hope’s peak /j)

★ — whenever whit has something going on in his mind, david just holds him. he knows that pushing whit doesn’t do anything, and that he’ll tell him whenever he’s ready

★ — whit likes taking photos of david whenever he’s not looking, simply because he thinks that its nice to be able to have a album of just moments they have together, and that whit is able to see david as who he is

★ — originally it was whit who kept seeking david out, though eventually david ended up gravitating towards whit

★ — whit always likes doing things for valentine’s day. often it’s just simple things at home like making chocolate together or cuddling on the couch while watching a movie. he knows david doesn’t like going out much and he’s just happy to be with david 

★ — david was whit’s first relationship, while whit was the first relationship david was being real about

★ — david will sometimes kiss whit to shut him up. 50% of the time it will work and 50% of the time whit stops for about three seconds before teasing david about it

★ — whit always makes teasing but endearing comments about david whenever the other man actually ends up putting effort into his appearance. david just learns to put up with this

★ — whit is the main cook in the relationship. (partly because whit is the best cook in the class and partly because david just doesn’t want to)

★ — whenever the other gets sick, they end up taking care of the other typically. a lot of times it ends up with the other getting sick too though because whit is a clingy sick and david is a little too flirty whilst sick
