Hi everyone!
First off, I want to sincerely apologize for the sudden removal of the the Paths of Akashic Initiation chapters and the sudden stub. As some of you may have noticed, the first book has been removed from Royal Road. My publisher has just now informed me that, in order to comply with Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited (KU) policies, I had to take it down 10 days before the official release. Unfortunately, this slipped through the cracks and should have been handled about five days ago to avoid any legal issues. I understand this might have been frustrating for those of you in the middle of reading, and I truly apologize for the inconvenience.
It’s been an incredibly stressful and hectic few days, and this detail flew under my radar. I was under the impression I had to stub before the Kindle Unlimited and E-books were available, not 10 days in advance. I completely understand how frustrating it must be for those of you who were reading and suddenly got cut off. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience, and I’ll make sure to stay on top of things better moving forward.
That said, I’m really excited to confirm that the release date is now officially locked in! You’ll be able to pick up the book on Amazon on October 30th in both eBook and paperback formats. If you’re a Kindle Unlimited reader, you’ll be able to read it for free through KU as well. Plus, the audiobook voiced by the talented Adam Stubbs and Mia Fothergill will be available at Audible.
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
I’m incredibly grateful for all the support you’ve shown me during this process. Writing and publishing a book is no easy feat, and it comes with a lot of learning curves—especially when it comes to all the technical aspects of publishing. Thank you again for your incredible support. I can't wait for you all to experience the full release and would appreciate any support or recommendations you can make for me.
Cheers,
Bai
I’m kind of forced to write at least 500 words for this post (unfortunately!), so I need to pad it out a bit instead of keeping things short and sweet. It’s not my usual style, but here we are. If you have any questions or just want to chat about the book, feel free to reach out, join the Discord, or check out the Patreon. I’m always happy to connect with readers, whether you have feedback, questions, or just want to discuss the story.
Again, I truly apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. The sudden removal of the stub was not something I planned, but due to Kindle Unlimited’s policies, it was necessary to take it down earlier than I expected.
I'll be monitoring the comments for a while while cleaning the house on Patreon, etc!
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the big release day on October 30th!
... Holy crap, how do other people do these single-chapter announcements hahaha
Sorry mates!
