For anyone who has been wondering about book 2, I'm planning to start putting up new chapters starting on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. The current working title and probably permanent title for the volume is Isekai Terry: Aggravating Hero Stuff. I intend to stick with the previously established publication schedule of 2-3 chapters per week barring some deeply compelling reason to change that schedule.

You may have also noticed that there is a new cover for book 1. That is not going to be the final cover. It's more like a concept cover that the art manager at my publisher put together using AI to give me an idea of what they were thinking. I just liked it and thought it would be fun for you guys to get a kind of conceptual preview. The final cover for the book will be created by a human being who will be paid using actual money.

Artists of all stripes have a long history of not getting paid for their work, and AI is something of an existential threat to people who work in the arts. While I very, very, very grudgingly suppose that I agree that AI can be a useful assistive tool for visual artists when used appropriately, I do not condone replacing artists with entirely AI-generated content.
