Hello, dear readers!

This novel's free release has nearly finished. I'll post a more in-depth update of what the next steps for this story and the print version closer toward the final chapter, but there's something else I want to say. I've decided that I won't post a free chapter this week. Instead, I'll take this week to finish out the first draft. I've been writing as I go for a while and have stayed a few chapters ahead at any given time. This is still the case, but I do a weekly editing pass for the free release. This tends to interrupt the writing flow. So, I'll finish out this first draft. Then, next week when it's all done, I'll start the final run of chapters.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

How many are left for you to read? That's hard to say. I don't organize my writing based on the releases I do here. You've probably noticed that each release is actually fairly small compared to the other pieces on this site: that's because I've yoinked these releases from larger chapters and stitched them together week after week instead of releasing a whole chapter at once. That's to cut down on how much editing I'm doing per week. Anyway, I've got three of these larger chapters left to post. So it could as little as 3 releases or as much as 8. I can't say.

What I can say, though, is that I appreciate all the kind words you've shared. Thanks for reading with me.

See you next week.
