Hey all! Just a quick update on the status of the rewrite of Heller and Book 3, since I am putting it on a 'new' page so that I don't spam all of you each time I post a rewritten chapter (and so that I can access this 'book' as a handy reference).

This is a fairly complete rewrite, and even though the 'skeleton' of the story is the same, there are a truly lot of little changes that add up quickly. Here is a short list so readers have a rough idea of what to expect:

1) The story has been largely changed to something along the lines of 'first-person past tense', except for a few rare places where 'artistic license' is being invoked to play around with words a bit.

2) More details are being given regarding the world using a 'show, don't tell' style, and advice from comments and reviews has been taken and integrated.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

3) Heller is a bit younger during the plane crash, has no immediate family, and is an Engineer.

4) Heller is a bit older once Academy starts, so his age no longer constantly conflicts with that of his peers (a plot device I grew tired of VERY quickly)

5) Chapter length is a lot longer than it was (averaging 1750 words or so now, I think).

6) The mechanics behind the cultivation system of the world has been altered

7) No more tables, at all, ever again. ;)

Note: I am really really busy with life right now (and have been for a while), therefore, as a general rule, I will never reply to messages or comments here on RR, but I will try to take time to read them and a lively comment section is always fun. :)

Status of Book 3:

The plan is to begin posting shortly after the rewrite is completed! I will post occasional updates here for anyone who is interested.

The new home of Heller is still here on Royal Road, and I will post a link plus the URL down below for anyone who wants it.
