Alright people (or stacked animals in trench coats; I dont judge.) All of my main finals are finished, and the only one I have left is basically a breeze, you know what that means: EDITING will be taking place. 

TL;DR-

Editing will be copleted by June 1

Moving to a softer litRPG style, removing stats EXP and abilities.

changing currency to coinage alone.

Some character descriptions may change.

Going to attempt to update story with Char bios, and other important tidbits.

You guys are fantastic.

I'm hoping to have the complete story edited and ready by the end of may; I'd like to have it sooner, but I've got a couple of kids and between the one doing baseball, and the other being in marching I figured a more appropriete goal should be set, even if it's further away than I would like.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

I do have a few short stories that I will be posting up either loosely related, or completely non related to HTL. I'm not going to give a release schedule on those because they're things I have been working on here and there since I started HTL and are a good way to pull myself out of it to get a more abjective view.

I'm compiling a list of things I plan to change on my white board but I think the main takeaway, and the reason the story will be taking longer than I wanted it to is because I am going to pull out some of the 'game mechanics' and might move out of the litRPG arena entirely. I will be revamping the 'economy' by removing EXP as a spendable currency and going with coinage as the main. I may also be changing some of the character descriptions.

As I move through the Editing process I'm going to try and keep anyone following me abreast of what I'm doing I.E. I'll be uploading character BIOs, currency sheets, and anything else I think might make it easier to follow throughout the story. I'm basically going to do it so that I have a glossary at the end of the book for people to go through and see character relations/ clearifications on some things. I'm not releasing the full BIOs there, I dont want to give too much away.

I'm also chewing on the idea of having someone draw me up maps for reference. I'd like to have them so people can reference who/what is where, maybe putting in what GODS are connected to what places etc.

I guess that's all I have for now, sorry this ended up being a bit longer than I wanted, but congratulations if you stuck it out!!
