Good morning everyone!

I need to let everyone know what's going on. Obviously, King in the Castle is on Hiatus. Basically, I got hit with one of those ugly confluences of multiple obstacles that derailed me entirely. I realized I needed to do a major re-write on my advance material to avoid a GoT season 8 situation, then my laptop died taking 20k words worth of draft as well as my royalroad password. By the time I had that handled there were a few crises at my day job that had me doing 70+ hour weeks, which further delayed things.

All that being said, the real reason is that after 2 weeks of radio silence before I got the password back, combined with another couple of weeks to deal with the legitimate issues, embarrassment and such kept me away. Combined with the irritation of basically writing the same chunk of story a third time and I've done a bad thing and avoided you all.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

So I'd like to let you know that while I am on hiatus, the story is not forgotten, and it is getting work. I'm trying to decide between a very abbreviated posting schedule or maintaining the hiatus until I've got a solid backlog, it'll depend on a few things.

I'm also toying with an isekai idea that has struck me - it's meant to be relatively lightweight, something I can jot down and not worry about themes and plotting as much. Dunno if I want to split my attention though. If I do do it, it'll be titled: I am the Very Model of a Modern Major
