Chapter 628: And so the Trip Begins
"He's Crazy Number 2."
"Oi! I take offence with that!"
Evan exclaimed after Crim spoke, though he didn't seem really annoyed.
Crim laughed lightly, the atmosphere lightening a bit. But just then, another group started approaching from the distance and once more, Artemisia grabbed Beatrix by the arm and dragged her a few steps back, wary of the new arrivals.
These newcomers wore the same sect uniform as the succubus girl, and Arthur couldn't help but notice that one of them was a dryad—like the ones he and Evan had encountered before.
They were all ridiculously good-looking, exuding a passive charm, though none matched the succubus's intensity.
As the newcomers rushed toward Crim, their faces lit up with concern and curiosity.
"Crim! We heard you were fighting! What happened?"
One of them asked, clearly worried and Crim scratched her head, a sheepish expression creeping onto her face.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS

IMPORTANT!!
I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that the formatting style I use in my writing involves presenting speech and thoughts as standalone lines. Dialogue is always shown as standalone lines, separated from any descriptive or action phrases. Everything within quotation marks is placed on its own line and is not interwoven with other text.
For example:
David, pressing his hand to his forehead, sighed and spoke.
“Great, another one bites the dust. Was this necessary?”
Thomas responded without glancing in David’s direction.
“Of course. It was necessary.”
……….
I’m currently facing a dilemma: should I continue with this standalone style or switch to the more popular approach that interweaves speech with descriptive or action tags?
In the interwoven style, dialogue is paired with descriptive phrases in the same paragraph or sentence.
For example:
“Great, another one bites the dust,” David said, pressing his hand to his forehead. He glanced at Thomas and asked, “Was this necessary?”
“Of course,” Thomas responded without glancing in David’s direction. “It was necessary.”
………
There’s also a third option: combining the two styles by using descriptive phrases when necessary and leaving the rest as standalone lines.
………
This dilemma stems from a comment I recently remembered, where someone mentioned that the standalone style made it hard for them to tell who was speaking.
Please tell me your thoughts.
