Profile
Ellipsis was conceptualized during the while NAITO was going through a hiatus on his other series Canticle. NAITO said the idea came from the desire of wanting to create a "horror-action survival game series" of his own. The story was conceptualized in April 2020 and is currently in preparation to be serialized on the comic and novel website Tapas. It will also be available on Wattpad and Royal Road in the near future.

Ellipsiss genre spans Action, Horror, Supernatural, Thriller/Suspense, Mystery, Drama and Comedy. It utilizes the concept of life after death to create a "survival game" atmosphere where the characters are forced into competing in a gauntlet of trials for the prize of being resurrected on Earth. It has also incorporated intricate characters and mature topics such as religion, philosophy, death, grief, war and redemption as well as its use of incorporating diverse characters from a collection of worldwide cultures. A running theme is that a majority of the human characters have their names derived from notorious real-life criminals.
