Hello! If you're reading this, you made it to the end of Phoenix Ascendant, the second story in the Phoenix Saga.
Thank you so much for reading and following!
The story's not over, though! While Phoenix and Phoenix Ascendant are completed works, the Phoenix Saga continues in Phoenix Odyssey. I've discovered, since posting on Royal Road, that "sequels as independent series" is a little outside the normal structure of Royal Road and some folks are having trouble navigating it. I'm hoping adding this "end cover" will help folks out. If you followed Phoenix or Phoenix Ascendant, you won't ever get an update for a new chapter, because the updates are currently happening in the third story in the series. If you want to be updated when new Phoenix chapters post (usually daily), please follow Phoenix Odyssey (or just follow me as an author.)
I'm sorry for the confusion! I did not know your ways! *shame*

The third story in the Phoenix Saga, Phoenix Odyssey, begins 4 months after the end of Phoenix Ascendant.
Newlyweds Ranko and Akane navigate married life, balancing it with Ranko's high school graduation and entry into college and Akane's medical school. Ranko's music career reaches even greater heights as her second album releases and she and the Dapper Dragons embark on an international tour. Ranko seeks answers for the unexplained miracle that befell her on her wedding day. Trouble at home and abroad threatens everything Ranko holds dear. Features even more brand new original songs!

Phoenix Odyssey is an ongoing work. Please direct your follows to this story to receive updates when new chapters post (usually daily!) <3
Want some more Phoenix content?
I've added the following bonus content to the Phoenix Saga...
image [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/covers-large/85423-a-night-at-the-phoenix.jpg?time=1715439729] A Night at the Phoenix is a series of canon-adjacent vignette performances where Ranko steps out of the bounds of the 1990s and can perform contemporary cover songs. image [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/covers-large/the-phoenix-saga-rankos-songbook-100002.jpg?time=1718807431]
The Phoenix Saga: Ranko's Songbook is a collection of the lyrics of all of Ranko's original songs. These lyrics contain significant story spoilers; read at your own risk.
image [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/covers-large/yuis-rocktails-aadacxh5ybu.jpg?time=1718891805] The Phoenix Bartender Manual contains Yui's top-secret recipes for all of the signature cocktails served at the Phoenix, so you can make them yourself at home if you can't get to your favorite bar in Tokyo in 1991! These recipes do contain very mild spoilers.
Again, thank you so much for letting me tell you a story, and for bearing with my oddball posting technique. <3
If you loved the story (or even if you didn't) I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd take a moment to leave a rating and/or review. Advanced reviews are the most valuable for helping the story gain visibility on Royal Road and helping more people discover it! <3
