In this version, only a few people died and I fixed that plot hole plus left it somewhat open for potential usage in a future story.

Now I'm working on rewriting the origin story of one of my characters. I didn't really like the way it was going originally, and schematically it just didn't work. Plus I didn't really like the direction it was headed and I was forcing myself to write it. So I'm restarting it with a somewhat different direction. I'm a little disappointed because the way the timeline works, the guy is just short of the big cholera outbreaks in London, but he has to die by 1888 and I want him to die when he's 21 which means he has to be born in 1867. Either way, cholera still would have been an issue because it wasn't until 1902 that London took over all the water sources.
Dang, that sounds like a heck of a background storyline. But yeah, maybe a whole solar system getting blown up might be a little excessive. But then again, I've seen much worse. I guess it kind of depends on what sort of things build up to that.

Originally, I didn't intend for Wildcaster to have a sequel. Heck, I was happy I managed to come up with a decent ending for it when originally, it kept dragging on without any clear direction. And I think that might be the problem. I've been indecisive about what I want to do with the main character and his friends. I think I've hit the mid-way point where unless I figure out how I want the ending to go RIGHT NOW, I might as well stop because otherwise I'm just going to keep pushing forward, rewinding, pushing forward, rewinding, over and over again.
