Hey everyone,
Happy New Year and welcome to 2025! Can you believe we’re here already? Crazy, right? Anyway, let’s jump right into what’s coming this year.
First off, Minus One's first arc will be wrapping up on February 21. As for the second arc, I’m aiming for mid-year. Still editing it, so I don’t have an exact date yet—but once it’s ready, I’ll let you know!
Quick life update: I was away for three weeks for our national youth program and only got back a week before Christmas. Since laptops weren’t allowed there, I couldn’t edit Arc 2, but I did start working on the first draft for Arc 3. I’ve paused it now to focus on editing Arc 2, but it’s moving faster than I expected, so Arc 3 might release sooner than I thought.
Now, about Arc 3... this is going to be the final arc for Minus One (for now). Why, you ask? Well, here’s why:
I’m working on two new book projects! The first one is something smaller in scope that came from a random idea while chatting with a friend (literally last week). It’ll have shorter chapters and more frequent releases, which is a big change from my usual style. I’ve got the plot mostly sorted but need to see if I can juggle it with my other project.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
The second project has been in the works for over two years now, and I think I’m finally ready to start writing it! This is actually the main reason Arc 4 of Minus One is on hold for now. Once I’ve written the first arc of this new book, Minus One will continue. Plus, Arc 4 is a big one, so having extra time to get it right is definitely a good thing.
Oh, and finally, chapter illustrations are here! Here’s an example:

Okay, confession time: they’re AI-generated for now since I can’t afford an artist yet. I’ll be adding illustrations to the chapters over the next few months. As for whether Arc 2 will have illustrations right away… probably not, but we’ll see! The chapter illustrations are just for Minus One for now—I don’t have any plans to add them to Project Eliora.
Speaking of Project Eliora, it’s up on Webcomic! So if you’re interested, feel free to check it out and help me out with some views and engagement. I’m also thinking about starting a Patreon for some extra support—what do you think?
That’s about it for now! If anything new comes up, I’ll keep you posted. Have an amazing New Year, and thanks for sticking with me. Cheers!
