Hello, everyone! I hope all of you are doing well.

As I mentioned in the previous chapter (Chapter 2), I have exams coming up, so it would affect the planned release schedule of a chapter every week or two.

I've had a lot of coursework (assignments, quizzes, pop quizzes, and the like) thrown my way in the past week. All of that interfered with the time I had to write. I've been working through it all so that I can focus on writing the next chapter, but I'm not progressing as quickly as I'd like or expected.

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

That being said, I didn’t want to leave everyone hanging without a word, so this is an update for everyone who has read my novel, and I thank you all for taking the time to read it.

I would also like to know your opinions on how you would like to receive an update in the event of a delay such as this (due to real-life complications, editing, etc.). Kindly leave a vote in the poll below so that I can provide updates in the manner all of you would like best.
