Okay guys, let's talk—and here's a little spoiler for the upcoming chapters. In the near future, this story will definitely expand into Europe, Korea, China, and Latin America in general. I just want to let you know that I might alter some stereotypes in this story.
In our real world, Korea and China have strong resentment toward Japan, mainly because of Japan's historical actions. I've read about it in many sources, and of course, those are valid reasons. However, in this story, I've decided not to portray them with that same level of animosity. I want to make it easier for the main character to introduce ZAGE products to those regions by adjusting the historical context of this novel's world.
Yes, I understand that exploring the tension between Korea, China, and Japan could lead to interesting storylines, but I've chosen not to go in that direction.
There will be similar adjustments for other regions as well.
Overall, I just don't like conflict, racism, or negativity. I want to avoid including those things in this world, or at the very least, I'll never directly mention them.
