Hey, so we are at the end of Book 1. Congrats and thanks a lot for reading this far.
Let's do some upkeep first. Book two chapters will start its release next week (first week of August), and it will become a biweekly thing instead of my weekly releases (meaning only one chapter every two weeks) I initially wanted to keep the weekly thing going but my writing speed aint the fastest (that and I have editing to do) so.... Yeah.
Though I might release an extra chapter as surprises (if I feel like I have caught up with my quota) but don't reall count on it.
With that out of the way time for the other interesting trivia (a lot of them):
- Book 1 is titled, Consignor, The Desitination of Innocence (why this specific title? It will kind of make sense as we progress to Book 2)
- Book 1 has 95,606 words.
- Consignor is written in Chapter and Sub-chapter forms akin to the ones you see in Light Novels (yes I read em, Overlord being one of the better ones imo, don't have time to read nowdays, reading my own stuff is plenty fun and time consuming already)
- My current Consignor word file has 234,644 word. And that is just Book 1 + Book 2. So you can imagine I have to edit and go through stuff about twice or thrice to see if I made any mistakes or irregularities.
- I don't plan to edit released chapters once I've uploaded them. I do have in mind to do tweaks and reworks once Consignor is finished (and when will it be finished? On to the next point)
- As of now, I plan to do 10 Books of Consignor. But realistically with how I write my stories, I estimate around 15 to 20 Books in total. I am aware I might not finish this until I am in my forties, thankfully I started this at a relativly young age
-Did you know the story I had in planned for Book 1-3 is supposed to be only Book 1? Yes, I am a very naggy writer
- The first words of Consignor started on 2019, two days before my birthday. Back then I just wanted to do wholesome stuff in a fantasy world. But now I have added tons of plot and suffering. Don't worry, the cutesy stuff like you seen earlier with Raina and all that will return (around Book 4? But not with Raina. Yet. That's probably Book....8?)
- I intend to keep my main character and his romantic partners' relationships (yes, multiple of em) wholesome and loving, that's really the main goal. John is not exaclty thrilled at the idea (cause you know, he's got high standards and kinda stubborn, and doesn't get charmed easily, look at Prishine, big time fail.)
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
- Giving names for people and places dreads me. I am very bad at naming people and usually only give them names after three chapters (more like sub-chapters really) and edit them back on their first appearance.
- Hint on John's official partners (won't apply yet, until Book 3?). It's usually the girls he gets along well with and get to talk happily with.
- Raina will return on Book 2 for a brief moment (we visit A'vetheas a lil bit). I'll write about her side of the story too (at Book 4?) but man I am afraid I will write too much haha.
- John's flashbacks, will happen more. And I intend to so a full chapter (from number.0 to number.7 type of full chapter) in the far future for what happened to him in the past (pre-A'vetheas)
Trivia on John:
- Used to be a thicc ass boi when he first got into A'vetheas. By that I meant he was fat, but slimmed down to average size after a few good years.
- Likes music, tried the guitar but sucks at it despite playing it for the longest time (he has one back in A'vetheas, it's gathering dust now). Surprisingly can sing very well.
- Has a soft spot for people with pure, innocnet, intentions.
- Allergic to shell fish (not severe) especially crab, shrimp and lobsters but loves squid and octopus (Will be elaborated when we visit the seas)
- Have affinity to spiders and lizards. Can't say its good or bad.
- Stopped growing taller a year after he reached A'vetheas at the age of 13 (yup, forever 169cm)
- Left-handed (if you haven't noticed from the stories)
- Actually got into a lot of trouble back in A'vetheas when he recieved schooling despite not making much friends with the Elves (let's just say its because how opinionated he is and he knows how to push the tutor's buttons)
And we are done with the trivia. On to the next.
****SPOILER POTENTIAL BELOW**** (skip this part if you want to, it's just a rough idea of what I have planned soon)
As you have read this far, Consignor is somewhat of a slow paced story (in terms of plot development) that's how I intend it to be, and mainly for Book 1, Book 2 and Book 3 (which I have not started, yet) is supposed for John's complete development.
He'll go from Happy > Neutral > Bitter, as things go by in the story. He'll reach his lowest point, and take on a much more cutthroat personality by the end of Book 3 (hopefully I don't drag it) then only for him to pick himself up and accept what he is.
Why this? Cause personally, it's like a reflection on my own (cringe I know). I used to remember a time where who I am today is the equivalent of evil that child me had in mind. That it is somewhat of a reminder that, pain, suffering, forges character and solidifies what's already there.
The reason it stretches out (John's suffering in the novel's case) is because people don't just feel pain or get depressed out of nowhere. It is when the accumulation of frsutration/despair that gets built up in one's subconcious, that it eventually reaches the breaking point. When the pain is felt enough, only then do things change, just an opinion.
****END OF SPOILER****
Book 2 summary would be along the lines of:
Having found a life for himself outside of A'vetheas, a family, enrolled into a good school, and a potential romantic partner, John Sarvod continues on with his life the best he could, carrying himself forward, until...
He messes it all up again, this time however, it isn't because of his magic. It was by his own demerit.
What is the cause for despair? Find out in Consignor Book 2.
Don't have too much to say for now (funny how I usually type a lot in author's note). All I can say is I am still on my writing break (hehe) and will be resuming editing/writing on Monday.
Oh yeah, the releases of Book 2 would be on weekends, as usual. Probably the regular time (0:00 GMT 0 Saturday) might fiddle around and release some on Sunday or maybe not.
