First of all, I want to thank everyone for their patience. I am grateful for your kindness and support, even after I took a break so soon after the previous one. It means a lot to me.

Part of the reason why I went on hiatus this time, besides recovering from the holidays, was to consider my plans going forward. After giving it some thought, I've decided to make some changes. As some of you might guess from the title of this post, not all of those changes are good ones. Let me get the bad news about of the way first.

I've decided to drop Former Fake. Simultaneously writing and publishing two webnovels, while also working a full-time job, has taken its toll on me. I don't have the time or energy to keep it up anymore. Rather than run myself haggard, I decided to drop Former Fake and focus all of my efforts on Demon of Dawn and Dusk. I know this will anger and disappointment many of you, but this is something I need to do for the sake of my sanity.

For my Royal Road readers, I've made the chapters on Patreon public. I just don't have the energy to put them all here. However, I've included a link to Chapter 71 down below.

Again, I am dropping Former Fake, not putting it on hiatus. While I might pick it up again in the future, the chances of that happening are slim. Rather than give my readers false hope, I wanted to be upfront and honest about it.

Once again, I thank everyone for their patience, and I'm sorry that it has come to this. May 2025 be a wonderful year for all of you.
