Hi guys, first off, I just want to thank everyone who’s chosen to follow the book so far. Your support is greatly appreciated!

I know many of you aren’t happy about the direction in which the story’s taken, so to avoid losing too many readers, I’ve decided to take this chance to drop two spoilers:

First of all, Linley and the Baruchs will not be “Antagonists” in this story; they just happen to start off very antagonistic. As for how the relationship develops between them and Ace, you’ll just have to continue reading to find out!

Secondly, and most importantly, FIRE (hint-hint =D) Fist Ace is not dead! I know many of you were upset about Ace not having an affinity, but there was a reason for it, and it’ll become more apparent as the story goes on, but I assure you, it will NOT stay like that!

That’s it for spoilers. The final things I want to address are the release rate, chapter word count, and the constant cliff-hangers.

First, allow me to address the constant cliff-hangers – I know they’re annoying, but I do them for my sake. I hate cliff-hangers as much as most of you, but by leaving it like that, I’m almost forcing myself to carry on writing the next day. Anything I can do to keep myself from dropping it halfway through!

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Second, I plan on spending the next few days with family, so there will be no further releases until this weekend, but I hope each of you has a Happy New Years!

That being said, due to work and family commitments, unfortunately, I can’t write as much as I would ideally like to. So although I plan to continue writing and releasing, I will have to cut back on my release schedule. But I have just created a Patreon. So if you do decide to support me @ www.patreon.com/AceInCoilingDragon I’ll provide you with additional chapters at a faster rate as a thank you.

To start with, I’ll only be releasing one chapter a week on Webnovel, but three a week on Patreon. So the more patrons I have on there, the more chapters I’ll release on both platforms, with the Patreon always releasing AT LEAST twice as many chapters as the Webnovel, and no matter how many chapters a week I end up releasing on there or how much further ahead it is, the price will NEVER increase!

But most importantly, from this moment on, each chapter will have a minimum of 1500 words (I know many of you hated the 1000-1500 word chapters).

The new release schedule will be:

Webnovel/Scribblehub/RoyalRoad – Sundays

Patreon – Sundays, Thursdays & Saturdays (Starting this Saturday!)

Thanks again, and I hope you continue to follow and support me!
