Oh, how I can understand it. Recently on Instagram I had a comment saying: "Kingdom Hears Rip-off?", like with that Question mark like to make it sound an innocent question when it's blatantly an accusation. Not even on the first page where you can see the Dreamer's key shape, but at the latest update totally not showing it (Except for the promotional image at the end with Alfredo wearing his Jacket.).
Is Alfredo wearing a Jacket and Holding the key (That has more metaphorical and Sci-fi meaning than magic), the only thing that makes a totaly unrelated story, A RIP-OFF of something COmpletely different!?
It can be seen from both the Prologue and the "DeRezolutor Family" story that the premise is not that one, the characters are not those, and the Plot (That still has to be slowly introduce) is not similar to that! I mean, why some people are so lazy to jump to conclusions, leave a comment that might be damaging if others see it (I've deleted it because I don't want to risk misinformation to destroy things before they get really started), and don't even care to see the previous pages and the Website!? For many of you I might getting this a bit "Exagerated" but to me it feels personal, as it is a Series dealing with Traumas, and it's very personal, and I've worked on its concept and character for 8 years before setting down the final draft, and see people just take a little detail and jump already to say "tHiS iS a BoOtLeG oF tHaT sErIeS yadda yadda yadda..." just makes a vein pop, Like, I can't even make a reference/Tribute to a series I've liked, basing just ONE thing on that, but with a complete differtent background and function (If it's a tool)!?
I mean, I don't mind when people say "It gives a Neverending story vibe" or similar things, because It's nice, and quite is what I expect people to feel it like (Before realizing the twist), I mean, it's different saying "It gives me vibes" from "IT A RIP-OFF"!
Just don't let those comment affect you, YOU KNOW what you are doing, writing and drawing, don't let outsider shape your opinion on your thing, you'll have people who will appreciate it anyway, for one person lost, three more come. keep it in mind!
Yikes, I've quite vented, but now I feel better.
