Ulima,
First and foremost I hope you are all doing well!
TL;DR at the bottom for those that don't want to read all of this.
I am still working on the rewrite for HTG and have been very busy trying to get my Real Estate License (taking state exam Friday) and may have to extend the release deadline to November or December, I would like a backlog of books 1-3 before starting again (currently have about half of that goal). I did receive a few offers from publishers which would have let me write full time, but the terms were all of my works in perpetuity which would mean they would have rights for anything and everything I create for eternity, which is a little restrictive for me personally. Hopefully getting this license will mean that I can devote more time to writing and still pay my bills since Real Estate is a set your own hours kind of gig.
In exchange for this delay, I will be opening up the discord before the rerelease for anyone that wants to come hangout, more to follow on that. I will also be posting the first ten chapters or so here giving you a sneak peak over the next few weeks. My hope is that you all will give some feedback about your likes and dislikes.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Please be brutally honest, my skin is very thick and my goal is to provide a well written story.
The beginning of HTG is a bit different, book one will expand on the initial world building for the Kuwathi and their settlements / culture / social castes. Where we are now in the old draft will likely become book three territory if the rewrite moves as anticipated.
Minor changes include name change for Kale to Kalon. Introduction to the fleshed out power system and governments starts much sooner so that the scope can be slowly revealed.
Major changes include starting biome being moved to an ice tundra and adding in a lot of flavor for the ecology of it. Ruling Government has also changed for planet Ora (MC's home world) I don't want to give too many spoilers here, but it should provide some deeper world building and much better interactions between governmental powers in the Galaxy.
All in all, main premise of the story isn't changing much, but to avoid confusion concerning smaller details I recommend reading this like a fresh story.
Looking forward to seeing what you all think!
TL;DR
HTG Re-release Nov-Dec.
First 10 chapters coming soon.
Discord coming soon.
Some changes to original, brain dump for rewrite.
I hope you all have a wonderful week! Chapter one of rewrite will be posted shortly after this.
Respectfully,
Godric
