Right, now let's get to the actual bio:

Donte M. McNeal is an indie author, freelance editor and beta reader. A self proclaimed anime connoisseur by day, and an avid reader and writer by night, Donte's time is most spent getting lost in immersive worlds, complex characters and gorgeous visuals (in anime at least).

Their relationship is so heart-warming you can't help but smile when you read their stories. Their lives are full of pain, loss and hurt, but at the same time it's packed to the brim with love, warmth and fulfillment. There isn't anything one of them wouldn't do for the other, and I believe that to be a literal statement, not a figure of speech. If Quinn wasn't such a great guy, I'd definitely think Layla was too good for him.(less)

We’ve rescued most of the slaves, so now it’s time to hit the road in order to find the other heroes. Naofumi can’t keep defending this world by himself! I mean, I’m sure he could, possibly, but things are only going to get harder from here on out.

Donte’s Quotes

Mike Duran
“People are like germs, only bigger. That bit of wisdom has proven true, for the most part. Humans are little more than highly evolved bacteria, leeches on a rotting ball of clay. It’s depressing, I know.”
