Plot Progression and Chapter Update

Hey Everyone,

It's been a while since I've updated and there are a couple of reasons why. Firstly, I've been bogged down at work working for almost 50-60 hours a week and have been coming home and collapsing in bed. Secondly, with school on the horizon, I've been doing some studies to get a headstart on my classes so I do well and that's taking up most of my time on the weekends. Finally, I've written almost 12 chapters worth of material each set of 4 containing a different plot of how the assassination goes. I've been struggling with fleshing out Jack's short romance with Gisella as I want it to play some role in the future(little bit of a spoiler). I've found out just how hard it is to toe the line between just sexual content and full on 50 Shades of Gray style literary pornography. I pride my story on being chalk full of details that help with reader immersion, but I don't want sex scenes to seem raunchy if you get what I'm saying. Ultimately, I'll be making the decision on which plot to move forward with on the coming Monday and I will release all 4 chapters worth of the plot to complete the assassination and most of the fallout before Jack's eventual reincarnation. I wanted to take some time to flesh out more of his past to give a sense of character that he'll be going into the new world with. To do this, I will need to spend effort into research and will eventually get to writing everything down. School will be starting on the 21st and my schedule will become more erratic, but I feel that it should be possible to put out a chapter a week for about a month or so before it'll become one every two weeks. So sorry for the slow updates, but I want to get things right here, so that I don't mess up later on down the line. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so bear with me. As always, thank you for your continued support and I'll see you all next Monday.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
