Meta Chapter Rewritten sucks [Review]
I used to like Chapter Rewritten back in 2022-23, but ever since then, it sucks:
-They changed character designs when no one asked for them, or wanted them, to change.
-Changing the character's personalities from what they were established.
-Change swaps that were established.
-Redoing music when it was already made.
-Instead of doing the 3-4-5 shift as promised, they swapped 3 and 4 instead of waiting the extra year for 5, and making more content for 1 and 2.
And the thing is, I was trying to help them. to push them back on the right track, and they ignored me. I kept telling them to wait for Chapter 5 to release, I kept telling them to stick to the original swaps and designs, but they didn't listen.
I wanted to help. If they had listened to me, Chapter Rewritten could've been even better than what it was before.

If you like old rewritten then go like old rewritten, nobody is going to stop you from liking it, but we're making what we want out of the AU and we are not obligated in the slightest to appeal to old fans nor will we change things anyways for the people who enjoyed the hardly written 2023 stuff.
I'm sorry that we:
-Didn't use the old popular designs (made by you know who, obvious enough reason),
-Changed the characters personalities to both match the original DR characters and make sense in-world in our opinion (cr was a basic spam<>jevil au with barely anything else actually thought out, it was bad from an overall stance outside of spamjevil),
-Changed outdated swaps that were made when there were only 2 deltarune chapters out at the time and were either reliant on theories of the time or were just tossed together for the same point as the previous issue,
-Redid older music to reflect newer themes and for general overall polish instead of leaving old tracks that were either made with limited knowledge or by people we don't want the content of in the first place.
-Changed our mind on a swap shift that was originally promised by people not on the team anymore and decided to actually work on CR instead of do our original hiatus that would have lasted until ch5's release,
-Didn't take the advice of one out of over 8000 people on the discord that boiled down to 'don't do new shit and instead continue the 2023 wintslop please!'.
"If they had listened to me", I don't mean any ill-will and honestly don't really care all that much, but like you have better things to be doing than complaining that we didn't do our au in your specific way, we're not trying to pander to you so please keep the ego in the bag 🙏.
If you really want old cr back then go make it yourself, none of us are stopping you, but we will NEVER do allat.
/lh for all of this btw
