Hello everyone ! I hope you guys enjoyed book 8. It was amazing to write and, quite frankly, I think the end battle was my best one yet.

Unfortunately, this announcement isn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows. This is to tell you guys that I'm going to be dialing down the pace of chapter posting after this week, back to the standard schedule of a chapter every saturday.

There are multiple reasons for this. First and foremost, we are at (and have at several times dipped below) the threshold of chapters I had set for the patreon backlog, which might seem enormous but it should also be noted that the chapters start melting frighteningly quickly under the current schedule. Furthermore, as it stands, royal road has a full novel in advance over amazon releases, which gives some breathing room.

Find this and other great novels on the author's preferred platform. Support original creators!

Last but not the least, I'm tired, trying to balance out my life and my work, and constantly worrying about the backlog, how much I'm writing every day, all that is really draining. So I'm going to be dialing back everything, take a break, and quite possibly start another story I'd been working on for a while to refresh myself, at a slower pace and with no deadlines while I try to figure out how to balance out my life. It'll also give me some more time to take care of myself, which is a plus given the medical issues I've had lately.

I hope you will understand. Just to make it clear, The Fallen World isn't going on hiatus, and I don't intend it to, but besides a possible halloween special there will be less activity on Royal Road overall as we go back to weekly chapters next week, after we've kicked off book 9 with chapters 314, 315 and 316.

I hope you'll have a nice day ! Playwars, out.
