Alright, I'm going to give it to you straight.

When I began writing on Royal Road I didn't have a plan for what I wanted to write. I didn't have a backlog. I kind of just sat down and wrote whatever shit came to my head for the next day.

I had a vague idea of where I wanted to go with everything, and I enjoyed exploring system and narrative ideas and themes enough that I could keep myself going at a not ideal pace.

That was, until, uni life hit my body of available time and motivation to write like a truck.

Add on to that the fact that I am a perfectionist who looks back at something I wrote like 2 minutes ago with cringe the likes of which is usually saved for far flung youthful indiscretions, and you might be able to understand my lack of updates.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Recently, however, I've been wanting to write again, but I can't find any desire within me to continue this story. So it is thus "dropped".

This world is rather choatic, however, and so I may pick it back up again, but not any time soon and not without significant aesthetic revisions.

However, I'm in the process of writing another story - and I'm nearly finished with the first draft of the first volume, so once that is done, I will be definitely returning to Royal Road in a much healthier and durable way.

All I can say to those who enjoyed this story is: I'm sorry. Truly. But, I hope you'll enjoy what I will be putting out even more. But, if you don't or won't want to... well, I guess this is some closure at least.

Anyway, have a good rest of your day/night/afternoon/morning,
