Some of you may have noticed that yesterday I posted a "new" chapter and forgot to tick the "Don't notify followers about the update" box. After that chapter got a few dozen views I didnt expect, I thought I'd create this update post to create a record of current progress that I can edit with the latest info instead of everything being hidden in Notes in various chapters, and so that I can update new and current readers of the changes and things to be aware of.

Chapter 10: Tribulations of the Solknight and Chapter 6: Love//Potions are the two "new" chapters that I posted over the past few days, but they are just previous content from chapters that I thought were too long split into their own chapter, so the first volume is now two chapters longer, and every chapter number past that has had to be changed.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

I've been working on a new draft of Volume 1 in January 2025 so the first ten chapters are a bit more polished now. Some stuff has been cut and a few extra thousand words have been added throughout. One change I still need to make is to the "System" parts. I will be changing everthing from using "-" to "[ ]" as it is becoming a nightmare trying to convert it to Kindle.

The most current note that is fairly important for new readers is from the chapter Hunters in the Dark (was 22, now 24): I am still currently reworking Volume 2 to include a plotline that I stripped from Volume 1 although progress on this edit is slowgoing. The draft past this point is still the original so some parts related to the original plotline will feel out of place, although the overall plot remains the same.

The first draft of Volume 3 is about half finished but between work and my PhD progress is also slowgoing.

I am also messing around with changing the title.
