Dear readers,

I am very sorry to say that, for a while, Isekai Strategy Game will stop seeing releases. For the past few weeks, I've been struggling to meet release dates, eventhough it was becoming impossible to do so. The effect, as I have realized upon a re-read on the released material, but what you must have long perceived, is a drop in quality not only of the prose, but the story itself. I believe this is unacceptable, especially now that we are headed for the climax of this mini-arc (or, indeed, we're in the middle of it). It is also for that reason that this decision was extremely difficult to make. This is a move I should have done a long time ago, and now is probably the most awkward place to stop.

But it must be done.

With this, I am breaking a promise to you, dear readers - the promise of a regular release schedule. I truly apologize for my incompetence. But I would rather do so than keep releasing trash that even I am not happy with. And that is really the crux of this issue. Without me noticing, my mindset towards my own novel was shifting from it being a hobby I love, to something no different from a job. But the more I stubbornly force myself to stick to the schedule, the less motivation I could muster because I already have a job, and don't want another. So it will be a good opportunity to take a step back and get my heart in proper order.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

So, what can you expect in the coming days/weeks?

Side Story 1-6 will be withheld for an unknown length of time. Currently, the plan is to *complete* all the remaining chapters of the side story before resuming the release. There is also a probability of previous chapters (only the side story ones) being rewritten, however, even so, these things won't change:

- Important plot points

- Fates of characters
